So that means the VOs dont actually type in only first word then. Good idea! I'll attach a screenshot of the search to my application, highlighting that his business name was misspelt or somtyn. We hope it ends well

@goingforward, you will have to present your original passport during biometrics. You can call or send a mail to VFS for clarification. I think they also place the bio-data page on a machine to determine if it’s authentic.

Ggetter50:

Yes, you would need it. It’s stated on your biometric letter. Someone has answered you earlier.

mcobex:
If you ask a question, always go back to the same page you asked that question to see if it has been attended to before asking again. Please don't be lazy, go back and read cos it has been answered

Google PDF compressors. There are quite a number online. Be conscious of the quality after you compress, it might start looking funny.

Compress with a pdf compressor (pro version). Use 300ppi

Hello great people!
Please what is the best approach to tackle previous denial on funds.

I am self sponsored and I have been working for the past 10- years. I was denied last year September on insufficient funds(GCMS notes reveals "recent lumb sum deposits from unknown origin". The money was invested in treasury bills and fixed deposit and was liquidated into my account prior to printing my statements to ensure the funds are available and accessible for my studies.

I want to re-apply again this fall but this time, I avoided re-investing the money into fixed tenor investment to avoid liquidation into my account at maturity prior to my application. How best can I convince the VO to believe the funds is mine because sincerely it is mine. It is also very frustrating living money in accounts without interest when I could have made fortune from investment.

My total tuition in Windsor is C$ 27,500 and I have deposited about C$ 18,000 and I have over $9000 in my Dom Account including more than enough funds in my salary account.

I am also married with a daughter but my wife is not accompanying me to Canada now because of her work.

Austinpee4:

You should choose 'Visit' on the form for them as they will be accompanying you. A visiting visa will be issued to them once your study permit is approved and all conditions for granting their visiting visas will be subject to your student permit and conditions.

Also, you will be able to change the conditions of their visiting visas once you have registered them in school when you arrive. You do not need to choose 'study' as their trip to Canada will be on the basis of your study permit and IRCC has identified this as 'accompanying minor' and if they are not citizens of a country with Visa-exempt to Canada, a visiting visa foil will be issued to enable them accompany you.

IRCC will change the conditions of their 'visiting' visa once you have enrolled them in school to enable them stay longer(on the condition that they MUST be schooling). Good news is that they are both of school age and will be compelled by law to school for free in a federal government or provincial government own schools. This will make things easier once you land.

Regards.

Nobody is forcing anybody to believe LICO for SOWP. Go ahead and use the one you know and believe in.
Good luck.

Austinpee4:



I really do not know why this 'LICO' thing is becoming a thing of worry.

Like i mentioned in my earlier post, LICO(Low income cut-off) is used for individuals who are working(on a work permit, A PR or a Canadian citizen) and seeking to sponsor a spouse, dependant(s), parent(s) or grand parent(s) to move to Canada. It is NOT applicable to a Study permit or the Spouse open work permit. The reason is simple, the student is NOT sponsoring but adding a spouse as a dependant to his/her study permit application to allow the spouse be in Canada during the duration of the study visa.

If you check the figures required for 'LICO', It is strictly for individuals who have full working rights in Canada. Students do not, its part time and in some cases, some are not even eligible to work both on or off campus depending on their circumstance. Also, those figures of 'LICO' must be earned in Canada.

@Jimmychuks2018, what you saw, written or interpreted on your GCMS file most likely is your income in Nigeria to compel your return after your wife's study duration. The officer weighed your ' income level' and was not satisfied that it is strong enough to compel you to return with your wife after her study and that is why it was raised. You are a dependant on your wife as a PA(student) and either you or her need to only show 4,000CAD for you and additional 3,000CAD for a minor as additional funds. You must also statisfy the officer that you would leave alongside your wife. Your ties(income,family,etc)must be strong enough because you are expected to return to them. This is the requirement of IRCC for a study permit holder(your wife) and an applicant of a SOWP(you).

'LICO' requirements are Strictly for SPONSORSHIP. The sponsor must earn the minimum income in Canada to be able to sponsor. Your wife is NOT sponsoring you but adding you to her study conditions even though the SOWP allows the holder to work without time and employers restrictions.



Regards.

Just scan and paste the pertinent page that cites LICO. I am sure that page doesn’t contain your personal info.

Frankrobbn1:

goingforward,

Well said!!! I can see you have some relevant experience here. Well at the first instance, I never cared to calculate the figure whether it's up 20M or not, but I know fully that 10M won't be enough for a family of five in Canada considering the expenses, flight tickets etc.. He may risk his application of being refused based on insufficient funds. To be on a safe side, the figure might not be up to 20M it's just to show his financial establishment. A bank statement of 15M will be his best sell here and once acquired his TRV, then his wife can apply through SOWP.

Frankrobbn1:

goingforward,

The figures shortlisted by you from cic webpage is correct. But you should also put into consideration if his kids will be enrolled into a creche or primary school over there in Canada, which requires a huge sum of money.Therefore, showing additional funds for just 4KCAD for adult dependant and 3KCAD for children won't be sufficient considering his tuition fees from NCC, flight tickets for a family of five. Presenting 10M here will not fly here.

okka:



Thank you for your swift response and advise.
If I wish to go alone first, what will pof amount look like?

Frankrobbn1:

okka,

Your processing agency is correct! 20M is the ideal amount of money to cater for a family of five that's if you plan traveling along with them. Presenting 10M won't fly here unless you don't plan to travel with your family at once.
But I'll advise you apply alone, while your family can join you once you've acquired your TRV, think about it okay.
