Now I am confused! I wont lie. What should I do now? Continue with the NBCC? I already showed the person that want to pay for my NBCC app fee that the school is a no no with getting study permit..

I made a research about the school(NBCC) if they are under DLI and if I can apply for work permit after my studies and it was positive.. So I felt so devastated when I saw @frankrobbn’s quote that the school is not a good one for IRCC.

Please house kindly help before I proceed further..

NBCC is a DLI in Canada that is factual and true!. However, I have seen students from Nigeria who have successfully gained admission from this school and have to apply more than three to four times for study permit before their visa gets approved by the immigration of Canada (some of which opted for JR process). The previous refusals is not the case of course correlation nor does it have anything to do with the applicant's financial solvency and/or family ties. It was evident in the GCMS notes that the responsible immigration officer was partial in his judgment and the assessment doesn't seem to be accurate.

Hence, my submission that students headed to this institution "struggle" to obtain a Canadian study permit. How many approvals for NBCC prospective students on NL platform have been announced in the past six (6) months?. They are quite a few number of them, conceivably none. This is a simple fact I have effortlessly observed overtime.

Believe it or not, schools plays a very pivotal role in one's application success. Seeking to study in ivy league schools like U of Toronto, U of Ottawa, Mcgill, UBC, University of Alberta, McMaster University, U of Waterloo, University Canada West, U of Windsor, UNB and many others, there are less chances of being denied.

Please is it that an uncle can not attend as a sponsor for him?

It is quite difficult to convince the immigration officer that you will have complete access to funds in your uncle's account who is a third party. The visa officer will question the reliability of such sponsorship and concerns as to why he is spending thousands of dollars for an extended family member instead of sponsoring you to study same course in your home country.

Please I would like to know

If I can not provide my parents' birth certificates for my Canadian visa application

What other documents can I use in place of that?

Can their international passports be used?

Thank you

However, it is imperative that your main sponsor in Nigeria should have a good closing balance far above that of your sister in Canada.

Please this is not true

Any verifiable proof from you to have debunked my submission? Please note that my submission was on the basis of several immigration applications and cases I have observed first-hand. You shouldn't rely on one applicant's case to reach on such conclusion.

Yea, I received a pfl from them on April 20th, and I replied 4 days letter with a lawyer,

On my application I stated I have been refuse us visa before, I check the box, even attached the im form with the said date I submitted my application and for the charge back, there was no charge back up till now, because money was paid by me with my account.

I don't think you should have any further concerns with your application if the lawyer adequately responded to the concerns with supporting documents to address the allegations raised by the visa officer.

Since I have all the documents to tackle this issues, Can't I just send it to them now with a letter of explanation ?

Boss, from the wisdom of my experiences in handling complex immigration cases, I strongly doubt if there is a remedy to your current situation. Most especially, the career progression sighted by the program case analyst (Business Management and volunteer experience in an orphanage home). How do you demonstrate the connectedness between the two areas?

You may want to try your possible best, albeit I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel in this case.

demure178:
I saw this, does it mean the procedural fairness was an error, because I declared the us refusal and there isn’t a charge back, cuz money was paid personally
Someone should please check the attached image and explain. Thanks

Have you received a PFL letter from IRCC regarding the alleged charge back misrepresentation? If you've not gotten any of such letter from immigration, you might consider sending them a written letter of explanation to address the concerns raised. Again, check the last two pages of your notes, if there is any comment from the Visa officer on your application.

Good morning @Frankrobbn1 I see that you’re taking your time this morning to respond to queries. Thank you ��
I asked a question last night but I haven’t gotten a response yet.
My sister in Canada is co-sponsoring me. She is funding my GIC account, but should I mention in my SOP that she will be accommodating me for the one year period of my studies?
I actually feel I should specify that her sponsorship is purely financial... but do you think mentioning this accommodation arrangement is a big red flag? Would love to get your thoughts on this.

It's not a bad idea if you indicate that she will be providing you with accommodation and financial support for your education in Canada. However, it is imperative that your main sponsor in Nigeria should have a good closing balance far above that of your sister in Canada. This is to demonstrate that you're economically established in Nigeria and the incentives of returning back to Nigeria after studies far outweighs that of Canada. Also, include your personal bank statement and proof of property ownership to evidence your financial status and establishment.

Hello Guru's in the house please help, I just got my GCMS note after applying with all NSE requirements since FEB 17.

The current status of my application is "Review Required".

Is it possible I send further documents via webform to tackle this issues now?

If so: I opened my on law firm September last year, and I have been practicing, the firms account have different transactions in it running into 10s of millions... should I send this information ?

Further to this I am also a director and share holder in another company with has been running since 2017, do I send this also?

I also have a pig farm, with the title documents and ID card from the farmer's association.

Regarding availability of funds: Should funds from the business account be transferred be transferred to my personal account then I send the bank statement I am thinking CAD 10,000.

Please o, Kindly advise me on how to proceed.

The application is good as rejected! There is no progression in your choice of program, funds are presently held in the hotel's company account, the study plan/SOP is vague and doesn't outline a clear explanation as to why you're opting for a Business Management program when your professional experience declares that you've been volunteering in an orphanage home.

The application is poorly packaged, you need a professional in your next application to guide you on how to correct all of those mistakes. Patiently, wait for the final decision.

Good morning house. My name is tolu. Thank you for your work from everyone. I got a reply from the embassy of a refusal. I applied on October 30 and got a reply on may 31 2021. I have started classes and I have done exam on Saturday sef.

It state like this;

I am refusing your application on the following grounds:
• 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 personal assets and financial status.

Please what do I do as I prepare to reapply soon.

Thank you in anticipation of your response.

Hi everyone,
This month I applied for SOWP. On 24th May 2021, I sent a web form attaching my upfront medical sheet. On 29th May I got an acknowledgment email that my file will be forwarded to the responsible office. I found out my file is located at the Canadian visa office in Nairobi, Kenya.

In my form, I specified applying from the Philippines as I'm a resident here (all my documents are from here only my property document are from Nigeria) and the approval rate for SOWP here is high within a month or two, my wife's SP got approved within a Month. I would like to ask if is usual for Nigerian citizens even though living overseas to be processed in Nairobi, Kenya?.

@Frankrobbn1 @Justmellow @Adiekwe1@Lekiboboe @NairaLuck @justwise @Akannitommy and other gurus, please advise. Thanks

Please be properly informed that your SOWP application was transferred to the immigration office in Nairobi, Kenya simply because the visa office in Manila (Philippines) have been iinundated as of late and presently facing a high volume of applications including clearing the backlogs for PR applications. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Manila visa office are working with critical and reduced number of staffs which unavoidably resulting to increase in processing times. They might have transferred your application to reduce the workload from their end. If you followed the immigration procedure and requirements of the SOWP and have provided documents to support your application, you shouldn't be disturbed about it.

A notary public officer can serve the same purpose as the Federal High Court. They can help certify your documents and notarize the affidavits.

If the wife is standing as the main applicant and the husband is the one sponsoring her, how long is the expected duration of the statement of account to be presented. Is it six months or four month duration?

Ideally, six (6) months bank statement should be fine from the husband. More so, attach a mybank Statement Certificate with her application.

Hi @Frankrobbin thank you for your time please I understand the part of travelling to Canada to get the required documents to apply for SOWP. But can one apply for accompanying dependants immediately after receiving the study visa approval?
I actually applied with out my 2boys 7&9years and spouse but now am regretting not including my kids and using my spouse alone as hometies, the thought of going without them is making me go through the motions . Was thinking I could start classes online while waiting for their visas, want to know the possibilities.
Or would another option be to amend my application as I just applied mid May. Please advice. Thanks

Given that you've already applied for your study visa, I will suggest you should be patient until your application receives a positive consideration from IRCC. Your two boys aged 7 and 9 respectively will apply for open study permit, and this has to be done when you've successfully arrived Canada and have obtained the relevant documents in support of your active immigration status in Canada. It is definitely a difficult decision to make, albeit you've to endure so that you can achieve the prime purpose of relocating to Canada with your entire family.
