Frank, sir i have watched how you have helped alot people in the canada student visa thread. Your selfless act has reflected in my life. Your desire to help at any point is amazing.
I am a recent graduate in electrical engineering, i am scared to apply for student visa because of the massive refusal rate. I found out about this program, and i have been having issues in preparing a convincing (canadian concept )resume and cover letter
. Please if you would be able to send a sample
Email : Ochidolueeh@gmail.com.
Thank you so much.
And congratulations sire

It's been a while I visited this thread. I hope everything is going on well with those hunting for job offers. Always bear in mind that the race is not given to the swift nor the battle to the strong but to those who endureth till the end. I wish you all the very best.

Thanks @onyinyeehC, for the elite wishes and compliments about me. If I may ask what your CGPA like? You may stand a chance to secure full scholarship in any of the canadian designated learning Institutions.

As per your question, please refer to this POST FOR SAMPLE OF RESUME AND COVER LETTER.

It shall end in praises

Bimmy35:
Hello house.

Please is it compulsory I update IRCC with my new admission letter.
Got approval late but could not resume for September 2019 intake. I have however defer to January 2020 and I have a new letter of acceptance from school for this.
Should I update IRCC with the new letter or I should just ignore. If I must submit the letter, how do I go about it.

Thanks.

Bimmy35:
Hello gurus in the house, please help with the above. Thanks.

Hey sorry no one had answered your query.

Accept my congratulations! Since your Visa has been approved, you don't need to update IRCC about your updated letter of acceptance. Your visa is valid for two years which gives you entry into Canada within this period of time so you can be able to obtain your study permit at the point of entry. Never to worry, prepare your trip for January, winter 2020. You will be fine.

Ginaruby:
Can I know if an application is approved if I track using Vfsglobal?

No you can't until you link your paper application online. That's the only way you can have a clear view of your application progress.

naijabat2001:
This is the update on my younger cousin application does this mean well? Please house response as am very tense

RE: validity of your biometric information

Thank you for providing your biometric information (i.e. digital fingerprints and photograph) in
support of your temporary resident application to Canada. The purpose of this letter is to notify
you that your biometric information is valid until (yyyy/mm/dd) for subsequent
temporary resident applications to Canada.

What you need to know for subsequent temporary resident (TR) applications:

• Please keep this letter for future reference. Your biometric information must be valid for the
duration of your temporary stay in Canada.
• You will not be required to provide your biometric information again in support of any
subsequent temporary resident applications you make within the validity date indicated
above.
• However, if you wish to extend the validity of your permit or visa beyond the validity date
indicated above you can provide your biometric information again and pay the associated
fee for another ten-year validity.
• Please note that you will be required to provide your biometric information in support of any
permanent resident application, even if you apply within the validity date indicated above.
• In addition to this letter, you can check the validity date of your biometric information using:
• your MyAccount at
• the Biometrics Validity Tool that is available on Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship

Did your cousin receive any instruction to undergo a medical exam prior to this biometrics validity letter? On the account that the answer is No, then it's likely that a decision has been made on your cousin's application which is a REFUSAL.

Alkidam:
I have gotten my biometric mail since on the 23rd and am yet to get any other mail since then. Does it mean i should go to vfs to claim my passport or i should wqit for mail.
Thanks in advance

Wait until you receive an email that your processed passport is ready for pick up at VAC.

Fashoo11:
Hello everyone, Mr Frank.
Please, what legit site can I order for my GCMS notes?

Sorry about the outcome of your application. However, I would like to inform you that we don't share third party GCMS websites on this thread as it's against the rule governing this offical window. Thus, you can explore through the internet to check out trusted websites that you can use to order for your notes.

jopppp74:
Thank you. Please do you think it’s too late to apply for a masters beginning January? The school doesn’t allow deferment

It's late to reapply for winter term unless you did an upfront medicals to speed up the process.

jopppp74:
Just got BVL no upfront medical.

Be strong! Put yourself together, defer your Admission and file for reapplication.

It shall end in praises next time.

thesvnflwr:
Okay thank you. Just to be clear, was I supposed to submit my passport during biometrics?

For paper application you've to drop your passport with your application after biometrics,. Whilst, online route you don't have to.

yomeximas:
Hello House,
Having submitted the application, I got to know this thread while waiting endlessly for approval that lasted for 13months. Here is a summary of the application details.

TRV: Study Permit
Route: Online
Mode: Company sponsored
Application Date: June 3,2018
Biometrics: June 5,2018
Eligibility Reviewed: June 13,2019
Medical Done: June 28,2019
Medical Passed: July 1,2019
Approval: July 16,2019
Passport dropped: July 17,2019
Application Length: 13months

iv. Experience counts most times:
I had been worried on an application that was just taking forever with no update from the CIC until a day I read a post wherein someone
commented that application could last 14 months but Frankrobnn1 “The Seer” confidently proved that it had never lasted beyond a year. So I decided to give it two more months before I would opt to cancel the application and perhaps re-apply. But just imagine, it was APPROVED the
following month!!!

My wife is now settled with her studies, but this journey has taught me a lot about God. I sense that the mood is low in the house, but I felt
someone’s faith could be renewed by this testimony.

APPRECIATIONS
Frankrobnn1, Mcobex, Naijaforeigner, Austacus,Justmellow, Makano,sopunter….and all the gurus, only God can reward your tireless and selfless
service, thank you.

REQUEST
You guys should please accept my email request, I need your help on something else which is different from the focus of this thread.

Wow! this is an awesome news, the first of it's kind I must say. Congratulations to your wife. I am happy to hear it turned out positively for her in the long run. LOL @ the bolded word Frankrobben1 "The Seer", I am not a custodian of knowledge even though I try my possible best to gather precise information over the years from different applications within and outside of this thread. I can't believe that people do remember/keep records of my previous posts on this thread, your success story is an exemplary.

I received your email request, and I have responded to all your queries. I trust you will find them useful.

All the best

Kenet1900:

I submitted employment and introduction letters with my SOA showing how much I received monthly.

Good evening everyone.

Thanks

I hope this helps.

Marshall008:
Hello, I Just found this thread, Please I will like to ask what's obtainable.

Is it possible to go for MSc in Canada with a wife accompanying? If Yes, how do I go about it
Otherwise, if there is another method of processing it, I'll appreciate it.

Thanks.

It's very possible provided that you've sufficient funds to cover for your travelling expenses, cost of your studies and living expenses for both of you as well as home ties that can compel your return home after studies.

Another method is you applying alone while your wife files for a SOWP to accompany you after you've secured your TRV.

Alkidam:
Hello house. Its been 6 days i got my biometric, and am yet to receive any letter, i hope all is well. At least they should have so i can go collect my passport. I have other things to do with the passport.

Frankrobbin1 naijaforeigner qudkom

Sorry about the outcome of your application. Have you tried tracking your passport using the local tracking number that was issued to you after your biometrics?

Larryhillz28:
Evening house... please I have a quick question... my mom is a dual citizen of Nigeria and Germany she lives and works there... can I use her sponsorship letter and bank statements to apply for study visa in Canada even tho she may not have up to 10million the account but has a steady job over there in Germany...

Thank you

Of course! nothing stops you from using your mom's German bank statement for your visa application to Canada. However, ensure that the funds in her account is sufficient enough to cover for your first year tuition and living expenses and also have some left for her personal welfare. Her steady funds over there isn't enough proof of funds, her bank statement tells more about her financial establishment. So work on her financial statement before applying.

I hope this helps

All the best!

IfeoluwaPelumi7:
A beautiful morning to everyone following this thread, pls i sincerely need fast explanations and detailed info about the reason for the visa denial highlighted below. Thanks God bless you


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 the purpose of your visit.

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 family ties in Canada and in your country of residence.

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.

I regret to hear your study visa was rejected.
PLEASE REFER TO MY POST AS AT 2017, your refusal grounds have been adequately explained by me in that post. Feel free to ask your questions here should you require further guidance.

It shall end in praises.

thesvnflwr:
Please what does it mean when you receive a biometric correspondence letter without request for medicals ?

I'm afraid, It's an automatic refusal! Brace up, defer your Admission to the next available term and file for a reapplication.

It shall end in praises

Orlarshaynee:
This seem like a good sign, however, try to sensor sensitive information when sharing next time; for security reasons.

From his post, there is no sensitive information to be blurred.

skirmish:
Thank you, Mr. Frank! I needed to be sure.

Good to know you're making huge plans for your trip.

I wish you the very best madam.

skirmish:
Hello everybody!

Please, I need an advice. My school is in British Columbia but I am traveling through Toronto, am I going to be issued my Study Permit at the POE?

Thanks!

Your study permit will be issued at Toronto since thats the major international airport where travellers coming into Canada always stop at for immigration clearance.

tosinobikoya49:
Good morning house I got a mail from the Nairobi visa office yesterday exactly one month I submitted my paper application that they got my biometrics does that mean the processing time will still take longer because I haven't been asked to go for medical

tosinobikoya49:
Good day house I got this mail from vfs last week does that mean my passport is ready for collection

From your previous post it appears that you've not been called for medicals. Following this, a decision has already been reached on your application which is a refusal, I'll advise you pick up your passport at the VAC, defer your Admission to the next available term and subsequently prepare for a reapplication.

It shall end in praises.

mikkiz:
Hey guys, I’m going to give you some tips or possible way of getting your study permit approved genuinely;

Ideally most canadian universities don’t accept 2:2 for masters, having a 2:1 possibly from 3.6 upward would go a long way both in securing admission and visa success.

Your account statement has to belong to either your parents or siblings of the same parents, and should be ran for Atleast 5 months showing frequent transaction history before printing and submission.

If you have applied for a study permit before and be refused, you should wait for Atleast 1yr before trying again, whereby including supporting documents to show your status has changed.

There are lots of free online certificate program online, taking 2 or 3 certificate courses in your previous field of study and including a copy of your undergraduate project summary(1 page), would show applicant is a genuine candidate.

Statement of purpose should explain why you wish to study in canada, why you wish to study in the university you got admitted, why you wish to study the program you were admitted to and how’s beneficial it is to your home country after graduation. Emphasis on current issues Nigeria is facing such as power supply. Your training and education in canada as an electrical and computer engineering has covered this loop.

It’s better to choose the same program you did in your Undergraduate or a very close related program if applying for masters. ex( B.sc in computer science and Msc in computer engineering or electrical and comp engr)

Your parent should sign an affidavit of support,notarized and clearly signed stating you are thier only dependant left to support to master level.

Landed property could Include your father business reg, tax certificate, vehicle and landed property. The applicant don’t necessarily need to have any property coz he/she is being sponsored. But having or including of your personal assets or funds would be helful.

It’s also helpful to apply for a study permit Atleast 6-12 months after undergraduate because it shows continuous interest in achieving thier educational goals. You should also explain why there was a gap between the year of graduation before submitting an application for master degree. If you were working attach a reference letter, or you were undergoing an internship or helping in your father business, always attach a document to support your story.


You don’t need a full box of documents to prove to the immigration that you’re a genuine student.

I hope this is helpful and wish all future TRV applicants success.

Nice post from you!

But unfortunately the above steps on how to prepare an application doesn't add up/work in all cases, owning to the fact that I have recently noticed there is no blueprint for this visa process and also no set out standards as to the requirements/conditions the Canadian visa officer's follow when accessing the overall eligibility of an applicant's application. I know two applicants who got rejected recently, one was an undergraduate candidate who just finished highschool and the parents were her sponsor with adequate funds and home ties, the second was a fresh engineering graduate, completed his NYSC earlier this year but was rejected. Whereas, applicants with over 16 years study gaps are now the ones getting visas. Hence, why I said the above steps put forward by you can't guarantee a successful Canadian study visa application. There is no particular section in the law guiding Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR), where it was stipulated that applicants will have to wait for so long (1 year) after visa rejection before reapplying. Either it stated that once an applicant can prove that his/her current circumstance has substantively changed with additional documents/information that might be deemed useful are welcome to reapply. Waiting for so long before reapplying makes no difference, if you can't proof that your current situation merits the issuance of a study Visa.

Why am I saying all this?, applicants without the above narration/profile from you can still apply for their visas and stand a chance to be approved.

Oh I missed this,happy birthday in arrears.

He that waters shall be watered beyond measure and may heaven continue to smile on you.

You once commented there hasnt been a TRV that lasted more than 13months and I have confirmed your expertise with hubby's study permit that was granted in July, will share the story before the week runs out.

Thanks for being there.

Can I private chat you please?

Yup! I remembered I did mention that there haven't been any study visa application that lasted for more than 1 year (12 months) on this thread some time ago. I would earnestly be waiting to hear your testimony this week. Congratulations on your hubby's visa approval.

Sure! you can reach out to me. More so, thanks for the compliments and best wishes. I say Amen! to them.

Naijaforeigner:
Happy birthday Frankrobbn1, you have been a blessing to so many of us on this forum. I still remember reading your posts back to back last year to get all the information needed for my TRV.

May God Almighty grant all your wishes and perfect all that concerns you in Jesus name (amen).

AMEN my brother. Thanks very much for the prayers and best wishes. You've also been a good and supportive member of this platform. Glad to hear that you're able to make the most of my posts in securing your TRV. My best wishes are with you at Fanshawe.

Justasking:
happy birthday bro.. a friend of mine is using an agent to apply... she is a university graduate but the agent is applying to colleges for her... I feel it doesn't make sense but her agent told her it's easy to get visa with college..she's really confused now.

Thank you very very much my good people. I am grateful for the best wishes and prayers and I say AMEN to them. I'm honored to be celebrated amidst you all. God bless you all immensely and keep you to witness the good things of life.

@Justasking, what's your friend's CGPA in the university? If she graduated with a 2.1 her sporting chance of securing a Canadian TRV is to apply for a direct master's program. Contrary to this, then a college post graduate diploma program will be fine for her.

Thank you!
