Good evening everyone please I’d appreciate a response. I got letter of acceptance from Algonquin college this month and the I’m to pay my fees before July 23 to get tuition fees receipt and letter of admission . So I can apply for study visa. The problem now is that normally I need to provide proof of funds of 6 months from my sponsor I was wondering whether I can apply for visa December because the program starts Jan 22. So we can build up my sponsor statement of account from June to December. Because when applying you have to provide statement of account backwards 6 months from the date of application. Or whether I’m supposed to apply immediately after I get my letter of admission from the school. @frank and everybody

You should apply when the proof of funds is intact your sponsor's bank account. Please the sponsor should be closely related (spouse, parents or siblings). If after building the funds and you're unable to meet up with the program start date, you've the right to seek for deferment.

Good day house

Please as a self sponsor applicant can mine business partner issue a letter of support on my behave and I can also submit CAC documents which shows that the person is the assistant proprietor of the business

Looking forward to hear from you gurus

Thanks.

Don't give the immigration of Canada the impression that your partner is sponsoring your education in Canada. This sponsorship will be regarded as third party sponsor and as such the question about funds accessibility becomes an issue in your application. The best approach for a case like this is to state that you're self-sponsored and you're the owner of the company which is your primary source of income. Attach only the front page of the CAC certificate, you're covered.

Good day house can use a u.s dollar dorm account that has only existed for 6months as proof of funds?

Sure! You can use a dorm account statement for your study permit is acceptable.

Good morning everyone, please I am a newbie here and have some questions to ask
1) please I currently have an Express Entry account. However, I am also applying for a study permit. The section in IMM1924E form that ask the question "Have you previously applied to enter or remain in Canada" Should it be YES or NO.

2) Should information on property such as deed of assigment for a land be under the proof of financial support section or should be included in client information. A bit confused on where to include certain documents like CAC certificate and Letter of Reference from a previous employer. Please gurus in the house, your response will be really appreciated. Thank you

Please be advised that having an active Express Entry profile without an ITA does not in any way indicate that you've applied to enter or remain in Canada. The answer to this question should be NO, i.e if you've not applied for study permit/visitor's visa before.


Landed property documents are often bulky in nature. If you're unable to compress it to suit into the "Proof of Means of Financial Support", you can move it to the "Client Information" column. Other documents that has to do with finance like CAC, taxes, bank statement should merged and uploaded in the "Proof of Means of Financial Support".


For more information on how to arrange your documents into different segments, please check my post on this thread in 2018:

Good morning everyone,
Please I was recently refused based on personal assets and financial status. In my application I didn’t state any assets because I felt my dad statement was good enough(60k cad+),so please in my next application, how should I tackle this issue, because I don’t have any property in my name atm. Thank you

I regret to hear your study visa was refused by the Canadian immigration department. The refusal reason "Personal Assets and Financial Status" is pointing at your establishment in your home country. The visa officer is concerned that you don't have strong holdings that will compel your return home after studies. As a result, to overcome this concern, you should ask your father to transfer a property to you. The worth of the asset should clearly be declared in the application and strong explanation letter must suffice to elucidate why you can't abandon this property for a stay in Canada.

Good evening and a happy weekend to you all!

I have a question, I applied for my study permit since the 24th of February, and till now I haven't gotten the "eligibility review" update. I applied for GCMS notes 40days ago, and till now still nothing on that one. I've sent countless messages to IRCC, I only get their generic reply. What do you suggest I do? I am really tired of the whole thing.

Timeline
Feb 24th: Application
Feb 26th: Biometrics updated
May 1st: GCMS notes application
--- no NSE request at all

God save us all

Since you've not been getting real time updates on your file, why not try ordering for the CBSA notes. This notes is more detailed than the regular GCMS notes, and will reveal the entire processes your application has passed through at the Canadian embassy including the information shared with other countries.

@frankrobbn @lekiboboe @justwise and all gurus, at what point is it advisable to withdraw application? My gcms notes shows they haven’t assessed my file at all even after 3 months...

The visa office in Nairobi, Kenya is overwhelmed with applications at the moment due to the rush from Nigerians seeking to relocate/study in Canada. You're not alone in this journey as several applications have been left untouched for the past 5 months without any staggering update on their application. I don't think it's a wise decision to request for a withdrawal at this time. You can make it a daily routine to contact the primary and secondary visa offices in charge of your application via webform to expedite the processing of your application. Another thing is to keep faith and be hopeful for a positive outcome.

I can’t find fault except nse that you didn’t meet.

You see this life, someone applied for a second bsc and was approved and another did same and was denied.

No two application is the same.

Let’s wait for our gurus.

Her application was refused by the Senior Immigration Officer. The Program Case Analyst has given his review based on the information present on file, but the Senior VO is not satisfied with the initial review and had to decline the application. According to the information obtained from the Canadian immigration regulations and manuals, only the Senior VO has the final decision on any application submitted to IRCC.

Yes,its nursing,which has always been my childhood dream. I am a graduate of geology. But I grew up with a nurse and showed proofs and explanations why I will like to pursue this dream.

This is a pre-assessment notes of the Program Case Analyst, you can't rely on this notes as the final review on your application. Please check the last two pages of your gcms notes, which contains the factual reasons as to why the Senior Immigration Officer refused your application. What happened in your case is that, the Program Case Analyst who is responsible for the initial R-10 check was satisfied with your application, albeit the Senior Immigration Officer had some reservations concerning the file during his assessment and decided to review your file again thus unavoidably leading to a negative decision. This happens occasionally on several cases.

Lastly, go for post graduate program instead of Second degree.. This will make your case convincing to the visa officer.

Hello guys, I just got a refusal. My dad is my sponsor, I have a degree in biochemistry and I applied for a PGD in Occupational health and safety management. I currently work at two hospitals, one full time and the other part time, as a health researcher and health promoter respectively. So please I need help and suggestions. I have also applied for my notes.

I don't think there is a correlation between your current employment with your intended program in Canada. Hence the purpose of visit as a ground for refusal.

The visa officer is obviously not satisfied about the reasonableness and lucrativeness of studying the program in Canada when weighed with the existing options available in your home country. Please order for your gcms notes as soon as you can and begin to work on providing a persuasive letter of explanation to address the initial concerns highlighted by the visa officer.

Congratulations! It has ended in praise.

Please rejoice ooo, because it is not easy.

The long wait has been rewarded.


I got a refusal though, for home ties both in Canada and Nigeria. Apparently, my ties in Canada are way more than those in Nigeria. I will order GCMS note. I may reapply or opt for the US. But US is priority right now.

I wish you all a delightful outcome in your applications. We learn every day, and some experiences are worthwhile, even though they are a bit sad. But we move!

I applied on March 11 by the way.

March folks will be getting decisions. Stay blessed.

@Spectro, I'm getting to know your visa was refused by the Canadian immigration. Sorry about the delayed outcome of your application. Giving up shouldn't be an option for you, share a detailed profile of your submission and let's see how we can get help. In the meantime, order for your case notes to obtain a clearer picture of the refusal.

Hello everyone. So I’m the guy that applied from
China but couldn’t pay for the visa application fee because I don’t have a Nigerian card with me, I had to give money to an agent in Nigeria to pay for the visa application fee. Then later I got an email saying there was a charge back on the fee and the agent quickly gave me another receipt and said sorry without explaining what happened. Then 3 weeks later I got a Refusal email with 5 year ban. I was worried and I requested for my notes. And it turned out that this same person canceled the payment again. Hence the denial and ban.

Please my brothers and sisters.
How do I lift off this ban?
Below is my notes !!

Please help

I regret to hear you've been found inadmissible to Canada for a period of five (5) years for a charge back you've no idea about. I empathise with your critical immigration situation and I'll have to encourage you to put yourself together. As other group members have earlier expressed their views, the best way to overturn the 5-years ban issued to you by IRCC is to hire an experienced immigration attorney in Canada, who will fight the case through the Judicial Review Process. Since you submitted your application from outside Canada, you've 60 days from the date the decision was made to file for a Judicial Review. Do not waste any time further, act as fast as possible. Please be aware that you will have to show proof that you transfered the exact amount equivalent to a compensated agent in Nigeria who later in the process requested for a chargeback from his bank.

I wish you the best on your Judicial Review Process.

Please I would like to know if F shows on my transcript even though I've cleared the course, then can the 'F' deny my admission into Canadian university for my master's degree

Which of the Master's program are you seeking to pursue in Canada and the school. These are the factors you should be looking out for when applying for Graduate Admissions. Some programs are usually competitive with limited space, if your grades and personal statement is not clearly outlined in a persuasive manner, it will be tough to get in.

most would say go for Pgd. I have seen 3.0 get into MSc. Bro seriously u need to do a deep research about this. The issue is that it might take long before u get into a master's program. Just check if you meet the program's requirements.

My Oga! I greet you, Are you sure of this? 3.0 for Master of Science in Canada? Do you meant to say MA - Master of Art?, MBA - Master of Business Administration?

I know most MSc programs in Canada are thesis based and would require a supervisor's consent prior to be considered for admission.

With such grade (3.0), the applicant should opt for MA, MBA or PGD.

Hi everyone.
I'm working on relocating to Canada via the express entry.

Please, I need a lady with a good ielts score whom I can contract a temporary marriage with so as to facilitate our relocation. Please feel free to DM me.

My simple advice for you is to forget anything that has to do with Canadian permanent residency at the moment as most outland applications that falls under that category (permanent residency) are presently on hold due to travel restrictions. It may also interest you to know that IRCC have not been issuing FSW draws to outland applicants for the past 5 months and still counting. As a consequence, study permit is the ONLY feasible and fastest immigration route to Canada.

Hi @Frankrobbn1,

I followed your advice prior to the screenshot attached below.

But My Ex-HR is asking if the letter should be addressed that I worked for the company before termination or addressed that I still work with the company.

Please bear in mind the last payment/payslip I received was in March 2020.

Also, a letter of termination was issued but do you advise I include it in the documents I'll be submitting or just omit it?

Thanks.

I want to believe you're asking this question probably because you're out of job at the moment. If this is the case and your Ex-HR is ever willing to issue you a reference letter, it should be stated that you still work with the firm. In all honesty, IRCC are not checking for salary deposits in your bank statement whenever it comes to study permit application. It's possible for an applicant to use their savings account which has more frequent transactions for their study permit instead of salary statement. Therefore, my advice is that you shouldn't include a salary statement in that regard, so you don't shoot yourself in the foot.

Good day house,

Please I would like to ask if it's necessary to add the notification/letter that comes with mybankstatement certificate. It states " The reference is neither a Guarantee nor a letter if Comfort and has been issued in attestation of the position of the customer's account, without any liability on the part of the bank or any of it's officers" - This was from Fidelity Bank.
Please I want to know if to detach the page from my bank statement or leave it that way. Please I need your opinion on this anyone. Many thanks.

@Frankrobbn1

Apologies for the late reply.

The mybank statement certificate accompanied with a six (6) months bank statement is sufficient for your application. As for the other attachment, kindly ignore/remove it.

Hello Frankrobbn1,

Thank you for your immense contributions. You are a gem.

A quick chip in; should the moniker (still) effect a change of DLI from within (outside) Canada, a new study permit will have to be applied for.

One love!

I greet you bro!

Are you saying that so long as the applicant has been approved whether the change of DLI was done inside or outside, a new study permit will have to be applied for.?


Confirm this information whenever you're available on here.

please I need answers oooooo don't ignore**.... so my sponsor is not in any way related to me but he is willing to pay the tuition deposit.. how do I show he is willing or what can I do to show that he is willing to sponsor the intended studies


@frankrobbn1 @everybody

Your sponsor is a third party (uncle), its practically irrational as to why an Uncle is spending so much on a niece to pursue a whole 4-year Bachelor's degree program in Canada. Please stick to my previous advise, use your parents as your sponsor if you want to get your visa approved.

Just received my notes now

I used an agent before

I'll be needing your suggestions on the notes/reapplication.


Would you advice I pay tuition deposit??

There is no need making upfront tuition payment as it's not a prerequisite for visa approval. The issue with your application is the fact that you're using a third party sponsorship (Uncle) for your study permit and also there is no proof of ownership for the company's account you submitted with your application.


To address these concerns, get a close relative, your parents preferably to sponsor your education in Canada. As earlier advised, University of Regina don't require tuition deposit above $500CAD. Your father/mother should have adequate funds in their bank account to cover for your tuition, living expenses and other incidental expense in Canada.

He said because the ‘red flag schools are in remote areas.. I thought Canada is even encouraging people to settle in remote areas?
Cc @frankrobbn

For study permit, Canada immigration don't encourage people to settle in remote areas simply because they know that cost of education is relatively cheaper and international students easily can secure a permanent residence shortly after studies.

I believe you've a good case since "Personal Assets and financial status" was only highlighted as the reason for refusal.

There is solution to every immigration issues irrespective of its complexity. Please provide these information, myself or my fellow NL experienced member would take it up from there.
