TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Frankrobbn1:
justwise:
Are you sure about this? Why would they not keep those documents?
Boss Justwise!

Yes I don't think they cross checks previous documents and letters. The only thing I know the visa officer does is go directly to Global Case Management System (GCMS) file and cross check the previous refusal grounds and Notes made by the previous visa officer. Each application is treated afresh and are accompanied with new application fees. The only details they keep/store/save on their portfolio is the details on the IMM study permit forms and not previous letters. So I don't see anything bad if the applicant decides to reedit or add valuable information he missed in his previous application.

Come to think of it, haven't you thought about this:
Why is it that some applicants on their first application, they use a Sponspor and claim its their maternal/paternal uncle etc... and got refused. Then, in the second application the applicant decides to change sponspor and use another person with different name from the previous one and still claim that the sponspor is maternal/paternal. At the end of everything, they get their visa approved. If they really go through letters, such application was supposed to be charged for MISREPRESENTATION, but it wasn't. There are large volume of applications and a Visa officer won't stress him/her self going through previous letters.(It's not done).

My advise to the applicant is that you don't change/alter the employment history stated on the previous IMM forms, but can go ahead to change/reedit/add their letters and CV's using the same EMPLOYMENT HISTORY there is no harm in that.

This is my intake Sir, Any valuable opinion will be appreciated.

Hello Seniors, please I wll like to find out if ones CV info is kept by the embassy when the person is refused student visa on a number of reasons including a persons employment situation. I want to know if they keep to compare with a new CV w
in case the applicant applies again. Thank you.
Hello shaddy1k,

If i understand your question clearly Sir, you are asking if cic keeps the record of past employment histories and documents like employment letters, CV's etc and whenever an applicant reapplies wether they go cross check the previous documents/files to be sure both CV's and letters matches.

My answer is (NO THEY DON'T) but it's always good to stand with what you have started, if your last application you provided proof of employment and letters supporting it, it's advisable you continue with it and don't alter anything.
You can decide to reedit your letters and CV's there is no harm in that, but don't change the employment history you stated on your previous application.

I hope this answers your question.

Good luck!

Twallace:
This sound like a big risk. Since you can't work legally until school resumes, they will be eager to know what exactly you will be doing for the 7 months.. ... This adventure will be screaming "ulterior motive " to them.

I stand to be corrected though
I will go with Twallace & WEIRDPC advice here, are you running from Nigeria. Travelling to Canada 7 months prior the start of classes is much, unless you have a family member you want to stay with while you wait for classes to begin. You need to provide a reasonable answer to the immigration officers at the point of entry. Even as that while waiting, you will have to spend more for your feeding, house bills etc... which is not a joke in Canada.

Man! I advise you wait for a while please.

I am new here. I am about to submit my visa application. My sponsor just transferred my tuition and living expenses into my account.
Hope this recent transfer won't be a problem for me.
I am going going for one year program of $8,000 tuition fees and my sponsor has paid naira equivalent of $19,000 to my account.
Hello Ratawu!

You have taken a bold step by asking your sponsor to transfer both your tuition and living expenses into your account and NO the recent transfer won't pose to be a problem to your application. You need to submit both accounts statements while applying for your visa. You should indicate this in the portion where you talked about finances on your SOP, explain to the visa officer that as a matter of fact, that your sponsor have shown commitment in financing your studies by transferring both your tuition and living expenses into your account, so the same with your sponsor, it should also appear on his letter of support/sponsporship. Remember to quote the date and attach receipts for the transcation.

Good luck!

Hello everyone.

Its been quite a while.

I will be reapplying for my study permit soon after two refusal last year having faith that this will be an approval. I will like to ask for clarifications on some things.

(1) Is online route and paper route same amount?
(2) I got an admission to MUN for a year masters program. The department only offer 1 year masters program. Is this a problem because I read previous post against 1 year program.
(3) I will like if anyone in Canada can help me with the ordering of my gcms notes.

Thanks. May God bless our aspirations.
Idowu3080,
Sorry for the outcome of your previous application, it's nice to see that you're back again to reapply and I believe this time around, it will end in praises.

1-) Paper route cost = 56K but go with 60K, should incase there is any error to correct or documents to photocopy at the VFS office.
Online Route = 68K-70K (It's more expensive)

2-) 1 year program is not as bad as you think, just that visa officers always refuse such application. They always think that such applicant is using study permit as a means to facilitate entry into Canada and they tag them as not a genuine student that will return back after their stay in Canada. I never said its impossible okay, but the duration of your course matters alot on your application. When reapplying put up a rational explanation to why you opted out for this course of study in Canada, list the employment benefits here in Nigeria, Your future goals in Nigeria, let them know the chances of securing a job with such certificate is very high in Nigeria.... But if possible get a 2 year program. if not be ready to draft a convincing SOP and everything will be okay.



All the best!

Please guys I need a answer to these

I applied for study permit together with my two cousins and my parents acting as a co sponsor to them then we submitted the application together now

if there is a mistake found in any of my cousins application can we all be refused ( both me)
And if they are refused based on insufficient funds will I also be refused
You have submitted your application let it be okay. If I should say YES , that it will be refused what can you do? Can you change it? Please put ON an optimistic mindset and let the will of God be done. I don't say anything most especially when an applicant have submitted his/her app, because anything you say will make that applicant mind not to be at rest.

So chill, relax and wait for a positive outcome.

Emmaokudu:
Good Morning Mr. Frank,
Thank you for you quick and concise responses so far, I really do appreciate it.

I’m not self sponsored actually, my dad is paying but I want to gather as much information as possible so I don’t make any avoidable mistakes,

Ok , so before I apply for the visa , the money should be in my personal account as it is a prerequisite that I submit a healthy statement of account during the visa application process right?,

what happens if I take it out after I send the application, would that affect me ?,

does the account have to be a domicilary account?

Do I also need to submit the statement of account of my sponsor during this process?, if yes, what would they be looking out for , account balances of clash inflow?

can I have more than one sponsor ? (both would be from my immediate family; dad and sister)
Emmaokudu,

Good to hear from you again.

Your dad sponsoring you it's the best here, because visa officers regard Family sponsorship when compared to third party sponsor. So it's good you're using your dad.


It's not a prerequisite okay, it's a way of showing commitment towards sponsoring your education, and it plays a vital role on your application. So, Once the transfer is carried out between your father's account and yours, you need to submit both accounts statements while applying for your visa. You should indicate this in the portion where you talked about finances on your SOP, explain to the visa officer that as a matter of fact, that your father(sponspor) have shown commitment in financing your studies by transferring both your tuition and living expenses into your account, so the same too with your father, it should also appear on his letter of support/sponsporship. Remember to quote the date and attach receipts for the transcation.

The main important thing here is before your application, and yes you can take it out or give it back to your sponsor as embassies don't have the right to request for your account balance from applicant respective banks. Most often, they request for bank statements again only if they are unsure of the transaction(I don't think they do this again). But it's better you wait for like a month after submission before giving it back to your father.


It not a must that it will be a domicilary account. The role that a dorm account plays is that it let's the visa officer know that funds are already in convertible currency and are readily available, accessible and exportable by applicant to Canada. But I prefer this than normal naira bank account. Anyone is good okay. As I said earlier if you're using your naira account, make sure you include your dad bank statements and yours to show proof of transcations b/w both accounts.


Yes submit your sponsor Bank statement to support your application, then they will be looking out whether such transfer/transcations was carried in your sponsor account or you just intentionally borrowed the money somewhere(Lump sum deposit into account from unknown source) So, include your sponsor account.


Sure! You can have more than one sponspor when applying for your visa, just make sure that both sponspors show commitment (as stated earlier) towards financing your studies in Canada and you will be fine.


I hope this answers your questions.
Feel free to ask questions anytime.

All the best!

Of course yes! Your fiance can sponsor you. He has to show commitment towards financing your studies by either paying full tuition or transferring funds into your account, that is when he will be recognized as a credible sponspor in the sight of the visa officer.

Emmaokudu:
I have not yet paid my tuition fees, is there a stipulated amount of time that the money should be in my account or can I just transfer to my account if they ask for proof of funds.

Also , the school offers a refund if you’re denied visa , not 100% though, would it be advised to pay for one academic year in a bid to let the visa office know you’re serious? And then keep the rest of the upkeep money in your account, so that as you said early, you can now present both when they ask for proof of funds.
Emmaokudu,

If you don't plan to pay tuition, make sure you have your tuition and living expenses in your possession(Account) prior your application submission.

Paying upfront tuition fees is not a prerequisite for visa approval. I'll advise that if you have the money, just pay for your full tuition and have your living expenses in your personal account before submitting your app. Don't be scared okay, your money is safe with the Canadian Institution and will be refunded, if eventually your application got refused.
Yes paying upfront tuition is good as it let's the visa officer know that your primary intent is to study.

Lastly, Are you self sponsored?( You speak like one).

Since it was a Diploma and not a Masters or PGD, I thought they weren't going to need my university transcript, but no problem.
These documents do they have to be Notarized photocopy's, Originals or regular photocopies, because right now i only have a scanned copy of my Uni transcript, Already sent the original copy to the school.
.

If you are going for Diploma certification, I don't think you need your university transcript, but If you should make it known to them during your application that you're a graduate, you have include your transcripts. The documents can be photocopies as you won't get them back after submitting your application to cic.

or does it have to be in a Canadian bank?
If you have paid your tuition fees add it up as proof of funds that you have completed payment, but if you have not paid for your tuition and it is readily available in your account add it as proof of funds for a year.
I advise the funds should be in your account not sponspor.

Hello Guyz,
I currently work with a financial institution
I have been working for 4 Years
Role - Project Management, product development and business analysis
Salary - 175K
To take Study leave for a year
To show the visa officer evidence that my company finds me valuable to invest in my education
Intended Course - project management
Duration- 1 Year
School - Centennial College
Studied - Computer Science B sc
Sponsor - 3 sponsors - Co Sponsor
Organization - To sponsor Tuition
Mum - To sponsor Living cost
Uncle - To Sponsor Living Cost

my question -

Possible Evidence to show home ties
How relevant is my course of study showing that I studied Computer science as my first degree but I have been a project person for 4 Years of my career (is that convincing enuf)
Would the visa officer believe that my company is taking up my tuition fees
Would the visa officer believe that I would be coming back after my company has invested so much in my education
Any document that can increase my chances
Lastly I would like to message a few knowledgeable persons directly so if u can drop your contact or email
Sincerely appreciate your contribution to this thread
Kindly assist
Thnk you guyz
Iphoneuser,

Your family members can serve as your home ties, the 1 year leave offer from your employer/company it's also a good tie, since you're not staying long in Canada.
Studied computer sciences in your first degree and having been working for 4 Years as a project management, product management and business analysis and heading for project management it shows a career progression. I don't think you should have problem with the course, you only need to provide a rational explanation to why you are going to Canada to complete the course of study. Another thing that comes in, is the length of your stay in Canada, I mean the duration of your course. You need to provide full evidence that you're a genuine student. I have seen cases of most 1 year applicants getting refused because the Visa officer is not satisfied you will return even with the job offer (they don't think it constitue a significant tie to your home country). I'm not saying its impossible, but you need to provide a bullet proof application or better still, apply for a 2 years program.

Let your company pay your tuition fees and show evidence that such amount of money left their account on a particular date, because visa officers don't take it likely with applicants using company as main sponsporhsip to applicant(They require proof), provide compelling reasons to why your company is spending so much on you just to acquire a certificate in Canada, why not Nigeria where they can get it at affordable rate, what have you done to deserve such benefit from the company.(Give answers to this few questions on your SOP and on your company letter of support).

Yes a visa officer will believe that you're coming back to your company haven spent so much on you only if you provide a convincing SOP on table.
Lastly, if your mom is buoyant to some extent use her the primary sponspor to your application, while your uncle and company can stand as co-sponsors. Remember to ask your uncle to show commitment by transferring your living expenses to your account (Attached proof of transfer between your uncle account and yours clearly showing the date of transcation on the bank statements)

All the best!

It would have been a better option if you submitted the T/Bills certificate to support your claims. But nevertheless since it was clearly stated on his bank statement and you gave explanations to that. V.O will understand that it wasn't an intentional lump sum deposit but from a reliable source. I don't think you should have problem on this. If I may ask, was this deposit made recently let say this month or ending of last month?

Hi fam,

How are you all doing? Please I have been looking for answers to some questions and I will be glad if I can find answers to them here. Thanks

1. As someone who wish to do Masters in Canada, is it necessary I sit for TOEFL and GRE before I can apply?

2. I graduated with 2.2 (3.28) can I get a school that will give me admission?

3. Is it true that I can go for diploma before entering for masters since I have second class lower?

4. As a geologist and someone who wish to do Masters in earth sciences which schools can you suggest to me?

5. When period of the year is the application form always available for international students?

Thank you as I expect response to my questions
henrymor,

1-)TOEFL is No, (You need to get a letter from your previous institution stating that throughout your study in the University you were taught with English language) English was the primary means of communication., As for the GRE it depends on the school, some schools do waive that. So go through the school website and check it requirement.

2-) YES.... (PGD)

3-) Graduating with a 2.2 CGPA did not meet up to the minimum requirement for a Masters program in Canadian universities, but some schools usually make use of your last 2 years in university, so if you performed well you stand a chance to be admitted for a MSc program. Mind you, you don't apply directly for a PGD. You have to apply for a MSc program, when the school check your CPGA and it didn't meet up to the requirement for a masters program, you will then be admitted for a PGD.

4-) www.google.com
Check: University of Saskatchewan
Memorial University of Newfoundland
University of Manitoba.

5-) Many flexible universities accepts international students for 3 semesters( Fall, winter, Spring)for the year. While some take for 2 terms (Fall and winter). Most application forms for fall 2018 semesters have closed, I think you should be looking at Winter 2018 or fall 2019.

Cheers!

Hi guys, please i m in a bit of a fix, so I need good advise. My father who wanna stand as my sponsor doesn't have good cash in flow in his account. Now a uncle whose surname is way different from mine now volunteered to stand as my sponsor just because he has a very good cash low in his company's account, but he is not giving any money in any way cos he has 3 kids in Canada already. But he is ready to give all necessary documents that will be needed. And he is well traveled too. So please advise me on how to go about it.

Especially the documents I am going to be needing from him if I should him and how it show show legit that he is sponsoring me.

Thank you all
Femiart,
Welcome to the forum!
Well, using your father as the main sponsor would have been the best here, but nevertheless you can still use your uncle. You need to show proof of relationship with your sponsor(Uncle).
Please don't do the mistake of submitting only your uncle company bank statements as the primary proof of funds to your application, endeavour to add his personal financial establishment (Personal bank statement for 6 months). Reasons because visa officers don't regard Company bank statements. From the look of things, your sponsor(Uncle) already has 3 kids studying in Canada, plus you making 4. The financial strain will be on him. I'll advise you hide your sponsor kids from your application, don't let the visa officer know about it. It may lead to visa refusal, since you're only using your uncle to get your TRV. Ask your father to pay up your tuition fees and transfer your living expenses into your account, then your uncle will be a credible sponspor in the sight of the visa officer.

Since your sponsor(Uncle)is business incline, you need the following documents from him.

Sponsors documents.

1)Letter of sponsorship 
2)Affidavit of sponsorship 
3)statement of account of the past 6 months business and personal bank statement.
4)landed property documents 
5)Land survey plan and approval documents.
6)Proof of ownership of business (Article and association of memorandum) 
7)CAC documents ( proof to show the business is Registered)
8 ) Sponspor International passage bio data page
9)Tax clearance certificate
10)Treasury bills certificate
11)Letter of reference from SPONSPOR bank(stating he is the sole signatory to the account and has been running from said date till date).

I hope this goes a long way in answering your questions.

All the best!

Hello house,

Please I need help.. I'm applying for a program.. I currently don't have enough cash on my personal account, but I have a sponsor who has-been my guardian since d death of my dad in year 2000 and we don't have a common surname. D inflow and outflow of cash in his account is good.
I'm working in a government establishment n I have been given a study leave approval... So..

*Apart from landed property what else can be my home ties or d study leave letter Will be enough.
*Apart from the affidavit that will be sworn by my sponsor what else can be used to notarize d situation.. D question of paying tuition fee is out of it cos d institution advice against it.
Please advise ur sister. Thanks all
MizempreZ,
You need to show proof that your sponsor have been sponsoring you since the demise of your late father.
What is the duration of your intended program in Canada, is it 3 years and above? Presenting a job offer most times don't constitute a significant tie to your home country.
Presenting a fat bank statement won't land you a TRV approval. Your sponsor should show proof of relationship/trust to you by transferring your tuition fees and living expenses into a dorm/ personal account in your name, it goes a long way in addressing the concerns of the visa officer.
Add the landed property/ business assests to your application.
Apart from the affidavit you need to notarize your sponsor letter of support/sponsporship.

Yes, paying a upfront tuition fees is not a prerequisite for visa approval. As the school don't request for it now. You should also state it somewhere on your SOP.

All the best

Hello everyone,

Please is anyone going to NAIT or knows someone who is currently there?,

During the visa process, did you submit a transcript ?,
if yes, was it secondary school transcript or university transcript or did a WAEC suffice?

During my school application I sent waec, sec transcript and Uni transcript and I'm not sure of the one they used to offer me admission,
Emmaokudu,
I'm not heading to NAIT.
During your visa application you need to submit your university transcripts, degree certificates and a copy of your waec certificate. You do not need a secondary school transcripts.

Good day everyone,
Quick question , I am trying to enroll in a diploma program at NAIT, during the visa process, in the part that has to do with tuition fees,
am I expected the pay for the entire session that is; first and second semester or just the first semester,
fees are about $10k a semester. 2 year program, 4 semesters.
Emmaokudu,
You're expected to show proof of funds for your first year of studies not for a semester.
Since you said a semester tuition is around 10kCAD X 2 = 20KCAD.
So therefore,
Tuition fees = 20KCAD(for a year)
Room and board = 8KCAD
Others = 4K.
Funds available for my stay = 30KCAD(If you have funds from your personal account endeavour to add it up here).

This is how it should appear on your IMM study permit form.

All the best!

Thanks brother, The 'whys' you asked are they to be tackled by me or to slow me down?
I thought people went for conferences that lasted 3-10 days? i don't also think Scholarships is thrown around in Canada, i could hardly read up to 10 people here applying to studying in canada with a scholarship! so there should be more to it and you could aslo have inquired, but i appreciate you lines and guidelines , I put it into consideration, but in its entirety, does it mean the time of study would affect the outcome of the visa? What do i know.
Vibrant99.
Those Why's are the questions the Visa officer will throw at your application. So prepare to present a rational explanation to each of them.
Of course yes people go for conferences in Canada sponsored by their respective companies/Firms.
Well, I'm not a Visa officer, but from my experience Sir, The duration/length of your program has alot to do with your visa. We have seen so many cases of applicants applying for a year program and got denied with.... PURPOSE OF VISIT AND LENGTH OF STAY IN CANADA talk more of 2 months program.

Above is my intake. But you may decide to give it a shot, If you think you can convince the visa officer.

All the best
