Ketima:
Hello gurus,

Please in POF, after paying 1year tuition, like how much will be enough as POF to be shown in the account.

If I show balance of tuition+CAD10,000+flight money (estimate), will it be enough?

Thanks.

Hello,

It depends on the course duration and sponsor.

Are you self sponsored?

Is your course gonna last just 1 year?

Tigretech:
Good Morning

24 October 2020: Applied For Student Visa and I was asked to do an Upfront Medical before I can submit the application. And I did all and submitted

30 November 2020: Request Letter stating that I qualified for NSE and asked me to provide MyBankStatement and IELTS Result which I submitted.

18 January 2021: Got a message for another Medicals and I contacted the IRCC and told them that my former Medicals was done on 19th October 2021 and it’s not up to 4 months and they are asking for another medical and usually Medicals last for 12 months and I got a reply from them saying I should do what I was asked to do because it’s for verification and clearance.

11 February 2021: I did the second Medicals and it was submitted to the IRCC by the medical agents directly.

16 February 2021: I got a correspondence letter and an original passport request letter..

I’m so happy because everything went on so well and successfully.

Please if you are going to Manitoba let’s link up and know how we can help each other.

Thanks

BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!!

IT HAS ENDED IN PRAISES!!!

I'm heading to Manitoba too but I'm waiting for a MER then PPR.

I will like to thank everyone on this insightful platform ( those asking questions through this I learnt and all others helping with answers) I wish I can tag you all, but am saying thank you so much for the pool of wisdom.

TIMELINE
1st Time Applicant. 1 year post graduate certificate in business management.
Application submitted: 30th September,2020.
NSE Request: November 17th,2020.( did not submit as I did not have IELTS test results).
Medical request: 13th January,2021. Got an appointment for 4th February.
AIP: 16th January.
Medical passed and was updated- 9th February (IOM clinic).
Passport request & BVL:16th February!

A 2.1 language graduate with work experience in business management, I did research a lot though on how best I can relate my language degree to my intending course by answering questions that could arise in the mind of the officer(s). Why I do not want to go for the general status quo language degree holders go, what influenced my interest in the intending course( my workplaces) how my language degree will also come in handy and so on..... , future job statistics for the course in Nigeria, areas in the industry that there is shortage of man power. I read and used positive projections for Nigeria by business experts and used lines here and there. But in no way can i attribute this to my application been approved i only tried my best and handed it COMPLETELY to GOD backing it with high praises

Documents submitted- Very basic I had little though.

- Degree Certificate
-Transcript
-WAEC
- Bank statement of dad( main sponsor) savings and current: reference letter for the current as the bank could not issue a bank statement , and myself as the co- sponsor. I paid my fees myself and have sufficient funds for my intending stay.

-Reference and confirmation of employment letter from ex employer outside Nigeria, returned home during the pandemic and took up a non- paid internship to show I am not just sitting idle.
-Work permit ID.
-SOP( through the help of this platform I was able to explain and sell my story).
- Past employment letters and payslips.
-Affidavit of financial sponsorship by father.
- Tuition receipt
-Tenancy agreement and very old CAC certificate from the 80's!
-Pension certificate from workplace in Nigeria at the beginning of my career.
- Volunteer recommendation letter in the past.
- Police Certificate outside Nigeria where I had spent more than 6 months and in Nigeria also.

I give all GLORY to GOD not by my might.

demiiii:
Hi guys,

I just got a second rejection from ircc, I was about to make payment for the winter session 2021 when I got the news as shown below;

Please note, they never requested for any documents or IELTS from me.

• Your proposed studies are not reasonable in light of one or more: your qualifications,
previous studies, level of establishment, language abilities, or your future prospects and plans.

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of
residence.

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.


This was the reason for rejection from the first application in September 22 below;

Pursuant to paragraph 220(a) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and
available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the tuition fees for the course or
program of studies that you intend to pursue.

• Pursuant to paragraph 220(b) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and
available financial resources, without working in Canada, to maintain yourself and any family
members who are accompanying you during your proposed period of study

@Justwise and other gurus. Your help and guidance is needed here.

I'm so sorry About the delay.

Can you order your GCMS notes?

gg4real:

* When I got the NSE request mail, I was a bit troubled because I had an IELTS result that clocked 2 October 22 last year and I was being asked for IELTS result in December.
I sent the result like that and I also included a letter of explanation stating that the Result was valid from October 2018 to October 2020.
I sealed with faith and left it to GOD.

My application was far from perfect but the Mercy of GOD prevailed.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!

awys:
Yes it's strictly online application now due to Covid-19 then for your bank statement do well to include it this will show your home ties,level of establishment irrespective of the funding they still expect applicants to submit their bank statement to know their financial status I know a fully funded applicant for PHD that was denied because of this .It would really show your home ties and other necessary ties please other gurus can add to this for police certificate it's gotten from Alagbon police station Ikoyi that's the accredited police station for police report for CANADA if you are based in Lagos!!!

WELL SAID

Lheman:
Good morning Elders in the house, is it a must an applicant go through the Nigeria Students Entry (NSE) route or an applicant can go through the Normal Route?

(2) For the NSE, is it IRCC that determine if an applicants needs it or the choice of NSE is made by an applicant?

Your swift and vital responses will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,

To answer your questions,

1) It's not compulsory to go through the NSE route.

2) YES, IRCC send you a message if they want you to go through the NSE route. But some persons decide to just submit the documents (IELTS and MyBankStatement certificate) upfront. This is completely by choice, so you don't have to if you do not have them.

I wish you luck in your application.

loyason:
HES ON IG AND IT PAY AFTER SERVICE O AND he seems to have lots of success stories and he uses just one school and one country canada only

I know that agent.

STAY AWAY!

loyason:
Met with an agent who said they have a sponsor account that i can use will that work?

It could work until they find out it's fraudulent.

It's not advised.

omojehovah:
You're not testing throughout the whole 14 days. There are 3 tests to be taken in the whole procedure. First, you have to undergo a test 72 hours before your flight to Canada (it must be negative).

Second, you'd undergo another test at your Port of Entry (results may take 3 days to be ready), hence, you have to lodge at a designated hotel for those 3 days. If you test negative, you can proceed to your destination to complete the 14 days quarantine. If you test positive, you'd be transferred to a government isolation facility.

Lastly, whether you test positive or negative you'd be provided with a test kit with which you'd conduct a 3rd test on the 10th day of quarantine.

NB: (1) You have to give daily report of your health (whether you have symptoms of Covid-19 or not) via Arrive Can App or call the designated number.
(2) The prior 3 days spent in the hotel is part of the 14 days quarantine.

I hope this helps.

Yes, Thanks so much!!

7COLOURS:

princejunaid:
I want to apply to university of Manitoba bco I heard it not most u pay tuition fee before you apply for Visa.

I'm sure about that for Undergraduate Studies.

I cannot say for Postgraduate Studies.

Evergeen22:
Good Morning my family. I just got the biometrics request email. After the biometrics what next ? God bless us all

Hello,

After Biometrics, you'll get an update on your portal saying "Biometrics completed".

Then the wait starts. It might take a few days or weeks before you get the NSE request letter.

But whatever the case, you should always check your GCKEY and email.

IT WILL END IN PRAISES IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME

Please everyone I just finished a Zoom meeting with my school where they talked about Pre-travel, Quarantine,IRCC policies and all and information reaching me now is IRCC said students with May resumption must travel to Canada to begin their studies before May that's like 2-3 weeks thats if you have your study permit approved already for you to be eligible for PGWP so for example if you are resuming in May and your permit has been approved and you say you want to start online from your home country to save cost please think again as they will not count it towards your PGWP eligibility so pack your bags and travel jejely 2-3weeks before your program starts in MAY

Thanks for this update!!!!
