Hello house. I'm thinking of reapplying incase the reconsideration takes time.
I have these questions.
What is the process of reapplying.
I hv a new baby now (our situation has changed)
Do I fill new imm forms or can use the previously filled ones?
Should I upload the previous SOP or write a new one.
My Daughter's vv is still there. Just medical passed. Should I still apply for her again ?
For those applying when d SP holder is still in Nigeria, do u show POF for the SP holder too?
Please I would need a response. Thank you my people. |

HEADYWORLD: Raise reconsideration through webform
Send all your evidence of studentship and a letter for reconsideration After starting classes, I had an emergency in naija. So I deffered for a year and left to naija. I submitted my admission letter and attached my student profile page that shows Fall 23. My previous enrolment letter too. Tuition receipt for 1yr. And I explained the situation extensively on the SOP. The school does not issue new admission letter. If I should do reconsideration, I think I would have to add a new document. Maybe a letter from school confirming the deferral . What do you think. |

Emotionz: Any update ? Have you gotten and response yet Yes. It was a refusal for my wife. But that of my daughter (vv) is still there. *Reasons* You do not qualify under the IMP as you provided insufficient information to demonstrate that your spouse is actively engaged in full-time studies in Canada. Refused under R205(c)(ii). |

I've been trying to use the new IRCC website (which I used for my study permit) but I don't really know where to start. If someone can share the link to use & some important documents to include in the application, I'd be most grateful.
Thank you. Sowp can only be applied on the old portal ( gckey) |

SOWP and VV for my 1 year old daughter.
Application submitted - Dec 23, 2022 Upfront medical - Oct 1, 2022 Biometric - Jan 3, 2023 Medical updated for spouse - Jan 23, 2023 Medical updated for daughter - Feb 8, 2023 BVL and PPR - March 1, 2023
I left Nigeria August 18, 2022, but I didn't apply for my family because my daughter's passport was not out yet, so I decided to finish 1st semester because submitting their application. On February 14, 2023 - the day my daughter turned 1, I sent a very emotional mail to all IRCC emails I know and also raised a webform Nairobi, Lagos and Abuja. Some responded with normal generic mail. 3 days ago I got a personalized email from IRCC saying that my application is still within the processing time and encouraged me to keep checking the processing time - which is 52 weeks, so I thought they are not working on the application and booked a ticket to Naija for next week. Seeing PPR this morning is still a surprise.
I thank Jehovah God everything worked out well.
Please guys, I don't know how to send family passport to VFS, any help or reference to previous post about it would be greatly appreciated. Congratulations. I tap into thus in Jesus name |

hotboss: From the points you hv raised. I think I should stay back bcz im very careful always b4 applyung for visa to avoid refusal.. Just wanted to use this opportunity to reach d UK. Guess I hv to join d meeting via zoom. Unless I found a way to actually convince d visa officer about my situation.
D circumstances wasn't related to finance. I hv paid full first year tuition. I hv d receipt. It was my wife's health which has been taken care of.
I really appreciate your analysis. Thank you so much |

giselle237: The Canadian visa on your passport although a great thing is also going to raise some questions. Student has valid visa but due to some circumstances had to temporarily suspend studies and return home. At home now he has decided to defer his admission to another year. Now he is deciding to go to UK for a business conference for 4 days. Please how does this business conference help you and why now? Someone some time ago mentioned crypto as the source of her husband’s funds. I dnt know if they actually mentioned this to the visa officer. Also ur disposable income is too low to supprt this application so its best to be able to figure out if this business conference is worth it and how to present your building materials and crypto story to them because you can not afford this trip presenting a disposable income of 186k as the source of your funds. From the points you hv raised. I think I should stay back bcz im very careful always b4 applyung for visa to avoid refusal.. Just wanted to use this opportunity to reach d UK. Guess I hv to join d meeting via zoom. Unless I found a way to actually convince d visa officer about my situation. I really appreciate your analysis. Thank you so much |
Travel › Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by hotboss: 10:50am On Feb 22, 2023 |
giselle237: Having millions in your account is not what the ECO wants to see.
How does ur disposable income of 186k now yield 13 million naira as well as prove essentially to the ECO the origin of these funds and how they are truly yours? So is it that you earn a salary working for someone and then also have a business .. so 2 jobs? How did you acquire the properties you got? How dis you get the 13 million?There must be paper trail with this your situation except you have competent travel history-US, Schenghen, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and likes.. that’s the only thing that can come to my mind. Otherwise things are not plainly adding up as you also mention your salary stopped coming in from September 2022. You also mention Canada in the grand scheme, do you have the Canadian entry visa on your passport ? If yes it helps ur case. If it just admission you have and the above story, I believe you should abort this mission or resume school in Canada and try it out. That’s better If I have misunderstood any part of your circumstances pls restate it for me. Thank you Thank you very much for ur honest response. Yes I have Canada visa on my passport and my canada study permit. Still valid till end of 2024 . I have been to Canada. Started my studies b4 d family emergency came up. Hv been Saving money for almost 6 years from supply of building materials especially granite and sharp sand. Also got profit from crypto trades. Also my monthly expenses was well under 40k until I got married. So please. How does this help the stuation. Thank u in anticipation. |

My situation. Total balance in 2 accounts is about ××m. ( ××m and ××m)
Salary 276k monthly expenses is 90k. I do not pay rent. I own.
The trip will actually cost me about: 1million ( with d price of flight I'm getting now)
Registered bizness but d bank account is not functioning. So I use my personal accounts mostly to do my trades. Profits per year can be up to 2m
I'm on study leave to study in canada. The last payment I got was last year September. Bcz I deffered d studies and came back to Nigeria to attend to famiky emergency. If I resume school, I will be getting 45% of my salary.
One of the accounts have huge outflow bcz of a project I just finished. The other account only hv inflow of interest paid by bank monthly.
I have properties. Family won't travel with me.
I hv a 4 days conference to attend. How best can I present my case and pls what are ur advise. If I should apply or not.
Thank you so much |

CentennialGuy: Bro, you are the first person I will hear say it's easier to get any category of Canadian visa than the UK equivalent and I don't think that's true. Any category of application is easier to get with UK but it's more expensive.
You see all these 4 months statement of account and lump sum scrutiny that Canada does, UK don't do that. It is why people will borrow the lump sum POF for UK, leave it in the account for about 30 days that is required, print statement and submit their application.
All these home tie that we have to proof beyond reasonable doubt with Canada does not occur with UK application. Same as all the truck load of documents that we have to submit to proof ourselves for Canada.
Drawbacks for UK for me are:
1. The application fee is expensive. Visa and IHS fee is over a million in total.
2. There's no smooth path to permanent residency after post study visa in UK unlike Canada.
3. Also, UK doesn't appeal to me like North America does.
Canada's pathway to permanent residency is smoother but to scale the hurdle of Visa approval from Nigeria isn't, including that of family application or SOWP.
Do not base your conclusion on the family application testimonies you read here. It's about ratio of successful application to the number of applications in total. And UK grants more without people having to pass through the eye of a needle. You talk everything finish. Alot ofvpersin going to UK now tried Canada b4. Canada own is not too straightforward. Different profiles, Different stuffs |
