For a year program and Nobody is following me

I don get my study permit, they asked if I have been to Canada before, then asked for LOA, also asked when school is resuming (my response was different from what's on paper, so I explained myself) then officer gave a side comment on my permit duration and printed it for me.

I heard d officer asking the someone else for where he will be staying and reservation...

AbelAbdul:
Safe landing....

Thanks boss.

AbelAbdul:
Safe landing....

Inside plane...

AbelAbdul:
How far?

More PPR, good luck everyone...

It doesn't need a transit. So far you not changing airport, you should be fine.

If you are changing terminal then you MAY go through immigration

LadyW:
Hi all, has anyone recently flown British Airways to Canada with connection at Heathrow? Did you require a transit visa?
Thanks.

How much in total did you use and how many ppl are following you?

abi03026466:
Good evening, everyone.

I have been reading through the experiences shared here and the advice provided, and they have been really helpful.

Please, I need some advice. I have now received a refusal twice, both on financial grounds, and I am quite confused about the reasons given.

In my first refusal, the officer stated that they were not satisfied that there was a relationship between my co-sponsor and me (my mother), and therefore they were not convinced that the funds would be accessible to me. However, my mother had already gifted me the money, and the funds were in my personal account. I addressed this issue in my second application by providing the necessary supporting documents. I also paid my tuition in full and purchased a GIC.

However, I received another refusal, and I would really appreciate some clarification:

1. Tuition: The officer noted “partial tuition paid,” even though I had actually paid the full tuition. The payment was made in three instalments. I paid the first semester before my first application, and after the first refusal, my school required me to pay the second semester before issuing a new LOE. I made the additional payment, and because the tuition had increased, I paid the balance to complete the full amount. I provided all three receipts, and they were uploaded together in one folder.
2. GIC: I also purchased a GIC, but the officer stated that I would not have access to the funds for my living expenses. This is where I am particularly confused because the GIC was specifically purchased to cover my living expenses in Canada.

I’m honestly not sure what I may have missed or how I should address these concerns if I decide to reapply.

I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has experienced something similar or can help me understand what the officer may have meant.

Okies

amnotapervert:
Naaaa I am good..... I would love to stay anonymous

Meet up, if possible...

amnotapervert:
Hahaha, oya, it’s okay we know it's not 3D AI 😂

FYI do you know that Maryjane store is weed they sell ?

I’m sure PhD Cloak knows you’re in Canada and would have no reason not to believe you.

Anyways, let’s try with our little knowledge to help those who want to cross over here with free information and guidance on how they can do it themselves.

Can we all just get along?? 😭😂

Been to Oshawa twice...

amnotapervert:
You are in oshawa what do you expect hahahah James Jones Peter to be doing uber hahah

Why are down towns in different regions like that?

amnotapervert:
welcome to the dirty shwa Aka oshawa....some people say its the armpit of ontario but i will give that to Hamilton

go down town both cities and you will be shocked at the amout of drugs in that country ......thats why I raw away and changed city can not raise kids in both city

Show Abel way ooooh...

amnotapervert:
The road where AbelAbdul took that picture is only about a 25–30 minute drive from my house.

After work, I can even go there, take a picture with my Canadian passport and my username, on paper amnotapervert, on the same road, and some people will still say it’s AI-generated. 😂

So why stress yourself?

When people have personal issues with you, they can simply open a new account and start attacking you just as he did

It was the same platform where I shared images of my study visa in 2017, study permit in 2017, co-op work permit in 2018, PGWP in 2019, PR in 2020/2021, and citizenship in 2024 on page 763. https://www.nairaland.com/7776621/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/763

And yet, some people will still say it’s AI, that I’m fake, blah blah blah. What more do you want someone to show such delusional people? 😂

Cc Imalwayshorny

Still soon...

Imalwayshorny:
Are you in Canada now

Lol... I'm leaving soon too

sobastical:
No sweat boss... I understand your concern, its normal boss

Best of luck

Mavor:
None so far. I am still within the initial 6 weeks processing time (when I submitted and did biometrics). Also you know the processing time counts down from Biometric capture date (4th Aug) and it excludes weekends and Canadian public holidays so I am looking at roughly either on/before the 18th of Sept (6 weeks processing time when I did Biometrics) or first week of Oct (under the current 9 weeks processing time), something good will come in By God's Grace.

No stress, take your time...

Thanks y'all for checking up on me. I go gist una hopefully this weekend.

Na so they choke me too. Great to hear from you. I just got my ticket today and will be leaving in few days...

AbelAbdul:
Hello guys. Sorry I couldn't update you guys on the trip.
My school choked me with a lot of activities even before I left Nigeria. A lot of online and offline activities.
Hopefully I will take out time this weekend to do so.
I know a lot of agents would get bad at me because I would be spoiling their businesses with my 'do-it-yourself' guide. But who d F cares.
Where is that PhD guy that offers permanent study permit to his clients? He also insisted you must get a return ticket to get cleared by border officers.

Before I forget.
This is my first time flying international and I would say from my experience I would rate Emirates Airlines 101 over 100. From their staff to the neatness of the plane.

During my layover in Dubai I was lodged in Vogo Grand Hotel. I enjoyed their buffet.

The Dubai immigration officer gave me tourist sim card after stamping on my passport.

Guys stay tune for gist.

PS: do not send me pm I will not respond.

PPS: anyone sending you pm claiming to be AbelAbdul is a scammer. Expose the person.

My God continue to bless ChatGPT. It has been my immigration consultant throughout this journey.

First picture is the Dubai hotel door key.
Second picture is the tourist sim pack the immigration officer gave me.

No vex...

He is my forerunner...

sobastical:
You guys should allow him settle down and in nau....Haba!
y'all should know rigorous schedule of settling in in a new system how it would....

Chill, he will come here to share with us

He will God's grace

Alexjohn2020:
omo, I'm even scared for him, I pray he landed safely and he's fine

Where is Abelabdul oooh?

cc abelabdul

how far @abelabdul

Mavor:
AbelAbdul, did you arrive safely?

oooooh... thanks for highlighting that

amnotapervert:
Imalwayshorny account was opened 2 weeks ago No need to take such person serious

How long did it take to get your student permit?

abimonile97:
May Canada favour me o

I see CIBC, congratulations!!!

And big amen

abimonile97:
May Canada favour me o

Why will she lie?

Imalwayshorny:
they whine yourself

I believe so too as it was processed in Canada not Kenya

Mavor:
I'm guessing your existing travel record with them helped

Mine was short too and I live in Nigeria but I have visited Canada 2ce... Took less than 3 weeks without upfront medical. (Family application)

Mavor:
Your turnaround time is so short. Are you an EU PR? I thought all Nigerian applicants have a minimum 6 weeks turnaround time or is it applications from Nigeria? Congratulations and all the best in your future endeavors.

Congratulations

Prettyprecious2:
I arrived in Canada toronto today.

She doesn't need 1. Unless she has a long layover at an Africa country that requires it.

talk2tonie:
my mum is traveling to Canada for the first time. Does anyone know if she needs a yellow card?
She is traveling for the first time and never had a yellow card.

If you can reach out, I can advice better. I'm in similar situation.

It is a totally free advisory

Hiyeps:
Hello,

I’d like to seek your professional advice regarding my UK Standard Visitor visa reapplication. I previously applied for a UK visitor visa in January 2026 and was refused, mainly because UKVI was not satisfied with the source of some funds in my savings account and noted that my salary credits were not identifiable.

I am currently preparing a fresh application and want to make sure I present everything correctly.

I am employed full-time. I receive a regular monthly salary, and I can now provide my *salary account statements, payslips, employment/offer letter, staff ID and employment confirmation/introduction letter*.

In addition to my employment, I have worked since 2023 as a *freelance Talent Scout with freelance Africa*. I source qualified professionals across Africa for recruitment opportunities and receive *performance-based commissions and bonuses* depending on successful recruitment outcomes.

A significant portion of my savings has come from this freelance work. My savings account currently has approximately ₦9.2 million, and the statement clearly shows payments such as a ₦4.185 million freelance commission and ₦1.25 million freelance commission, among other talent-sourcing payments.

I also have supporting freelance engagement/welcome emails, recognition/award documents and evidence of rewards/payments.

I also have approximately ₦1 million invested across two mutual fund/equity accounts, which I can support with investment statements.

I am also currently studying for my Master's degree. I have my admission/enrolment documentation, student ID and academic results. My proposed UK trip is from 26–04 September 2026, during my academic break, after which I will return to Nigeria to continue both my employment and studies.

My proposed trip is self-funded, and I intend to stay in London for tourism and sightseeing.

I would really appreciate your professional assessment of my situation, particularly:

1. How should I present my freelance commissions on the application—as additional income, savings, or both?

2. How should I correctly declare my ₦9.2m Globus savings and ₦1m mutual-fund investments without double-counting the funds?

3. What is the best way to address the previous refusal?

4. What documents would you recommend I provide to establish the source of the freelance funds?

5. Is my proposed 10 day trip and budget (2200) reasonable given my financial circumstances?

6. Are there any weaknesses or inconsistencies you see in my new application that I should correct before submission?

7. Or would be better I use my friend in the UK as sponsor who is willing to invite me over at his place?

I want to make sure this application is completely transparent and that the financial story is presented accurately and consistently with the evidence.
