I actually applied to a two year diploma program at UCN, a college in Northern Manitoba cos of its cheap tuition.. I went for a program(CED) different from my undergrad course(Finance) . I get discouraged anytime I read an undergrad dip is dead on arrival but was able to tackle this on my Sop relating it with my association with YALI network with proof.

I got admitted at Niagara College as well for PGD but in all honesty, I can't afford such hence my reason for a cheap undergrad dip.

I started classes on Sept 8 and the experience so far has been awesome. Unfortunately, I would be disengaging today. I haven't been comminuted officially by IRCC but I'm happy I got my notes on time as I have until October 2 for 100% refund..

I really appreciate all those contributing selflessly on this platform.... I'm grateful

@Lekiboboe.... Much love... no homo..

I also noticed another person's application correspondence on my gcms notes.. guess its a mix up from IRCC...

Tonyodg:

mazeb:
My sister’s application was rejected by IRCC today based on home ties and getting employment in home country. However, she has started her online classes this September 2020.

She is confident that she can address the issues raised but the question now is :

1 How soon can she reapply.
2 Can she use the same documents before and add LOE.
3. How long is the reapplication process likely to take to enable her know if she can continue with her online lectures.

Phatkayconcept:
Biometrics verification letter. It shows that your biometrics is valid for 10years.

Usually, when you received this letter, a final decision on your application is on its way.

Hamilah11:
After the page numbers of the forum, you'll see "Reply" after the last page number. Click that and you should be able to post without quoting anyone.

fratermathy:
What you got was BCL, not BVL.

BVL comes much later, usually a day or some hours before you get a final decision.

Oghogho1313:
You are quite correct. To provide a bit of context. I applied in May and the elligibiity review was done a month later in June. So, from June to September no update reflected online via the ircc portal besides biometric done in August and medicals(Upfront) done in August. I hope they still give out approvals to everyone still waiting for approvals in the gcms notes. I am only saying its quite likely it might not be the case.

Chocs:
Maybe rules need to be made to maintain order in the group. It’s getting too bad. If your post isn’t going to help others or if you’re not asking questions, kindly desist from posting it. Think about every post properly before hitting the submit button, please. If your post is about any controversial issue, please do not post it. We are all adults here, let’s act it please. For the newbies, welcome. Please endeavor to read through the thread from the beginning. Check from page one and take it one step at a time, asking people to help is good, but nobody can give you all the information you need. You can only get it by reading! Read from the beginning, read other threads, google, read your university or college’ website. Many have information about visa applications. If you do not understand anything, feel free to ask. But don’t just ask that someone tells you everything in one post. Please put in effort. All the best to everyone. May our dreams come true.

Samoye111:
I applied for my study permit sometime in September. Biometrics request and background check followed immediately.
I got Medical request in less than a week.
I should also mention that I got admission into two top schools (masters program) within record time.
I didn’t rely on how good my applications might look, but I held on to faith in God, that my case will be different.
When I applied for my study permit, I prayed that my application will not exceed 1month by Gods grace, not knowing it would take far less than a month.
Also for my admissions, I specified the week I would receive admission from the two schools. Lo and behold, the admissions came one day apart in that specific week. Nothing is impossible with God! This story is just tip of the iceberg of how powerfully I have experienced God.
All things are possible for anyone who has faith in God. Let’s always rely on God, I promise, people would think you are doing jazz...lol
Please I’m not saying don’t do the hard work oh, but don’t put your faith in your hard work. So many “perfect” applications have been rejected.
My final advice - don’t just pray, be specific in your prayers, it shows your level of faith before God.
Peace!

mii4all:
Silent reader..but i thought to share this one. I think everyone should apply for their gcms notes so you can plan yourself accordingly. it will certainly give you an idea of VO's leanings on your matter especially if you haven't gotten an update and your application has been ongoing for at least 3 months +. It seems a lot of decisions have already been made.

Profile: BSc Engineering, 30+, Married, Banker, going for MBA @ UoT


1st application; Applied 9th Feb
No medicals
Biometrics done 17th Feb

Received GCMS 8th April

2nd application 28th April

I suppose 'info sharing' as seen in the notes implies that PPR will happen when travel restrictions ease and normal operations resume.

It will end in praise.


We’re you given an AIP?

BlegendE:
Please, how many people got AIP request on the 6th of August?


Applied June 22nd
Medical request 22nd July.
I passed my medicals on the 5th of August.
AIP 6th August.

Passport request...,very very very soon. I believe The GOD of Abraham.

Fall term 2020. Already started classes

Phatkayconcept:
Based on my experience with QLife, I will choose them again and again. Unlike what people say about their services. They respond to email and booking very fast, their in-service is fast and professional, and they updated my account in 3days, even though I did my medical on a Saturday. And above all, they are cost effective.

My experience with IOM is not impressive, it took them one week to reply my email message for booking.

TimAke:
Got this email from the VAC handling my application when I enquired about progress (AIP dropped a few days later). So it’s very possible they are waiting for travel restrictions to be lifted before passport request. #my opinion.

oma22:
I ordered for my GCMS notes, it came about 2 weeks ago and my visa has been approved, since April actually. I wonder what’s keeping the passport request.

Sanovsky007:

When did you get your AIP?

vibrant99:
Give it some time before you reapply ,

Atleast after the official rejection.

It will end in praise (F.D 1st)

vibrant99:
Is it an online application ?
Then forget it ....

It has been rejected , Tarrying it frustrates you from reapplying again, Nigerians can reapply after a rejection in the next 2 days , that’s how crazy we can be .
After we cover it with the blood of Jesus ... Oyibo no even sabi wetin u Dey talk

Iphiegrace:
Second application
Did upfront medicals
And had Biometrics done 2014

Iphiegrace:
I got my GCMS note today and my study permit was refused based on the fact that they cannot see a logical reason spending so much in my education when my career / educational background are not correlated with the course of study.
Please gurus, I need to know if I can add LOE and some other supporting documents via webform or wait till they refuse it officially.

Dame24:
Hello, I tried paying my application fee with GTB card and it got declined. Any idea of what’s wrong?

Yk45:
I'm having issue with pay the visa fee online. I keep get the response that my transaction was declined. Please has anyone experienced this?

Marven:
Dear Nairalanders,
I applied for Canada study visa but was denied. Sir to Covid-19 pandemic leading to business lockdown and restrictions as you know I havent been able to retrieve my passport from vfs office and Canadian embassy.
Due to urgent need for application to another country I am planning to declare the passport missing then replace it at passport office following the process. Someone had told me that that can land me on travel ban for 5 years.
Do you think same too? Do you think there could be huge penalties to That? Please advice me candidly!

Thanks for your usual assistance, I'm still counting on you.

Tonyodg:
lol a lot of people haven’t done biometrics and got response

Taisonlee:
Hello nairalanders, I think I'm having a problem about my application, I applied may 11 and got biometrics request may 12, since then I haven't gotten any response from ircc though I haven't concluded biometrics yet. Is there any assistance to be rendered about that?
