Hi all, I submitted my application mid October and my studies will resume 1st week of January 2024.

When I track my application on the new portal, I see it hasn't changed a thing since I submitted despite having done upfront medicals and biometrics. This is my second application.

I want to raise webform tomorrow. Is this a good move?

I used the new portal which I also used for my visit visa in December last year.

I noticed that the duration of both visit and study visas was just the same - one month, 3 days. I am wondering if it is the same officer that evaluated both.

I was so afraid when my study visa passed 2 weeks but just kept praying and trusting God. I sent a webform to Canada and 3 emails to Nairobi in November. Tracking it did not really give so much details until PPR came on the 29th of November 2023.

May the Lord answer all awaiting their approvals - AMEN!!!

smartola:
I did upfront Medicals on the 3rd of November, I would advise you go for upfront Medicals too, considering the booking time for medicals and submission and collection of passport from vfs office. let us hope for the best, My school resumption date is January 2nd

Damilareuju:
I submitted my application since October 13th. And I didn't do upfront medical. My school resumes January 3rd and I haven't heard from IRCC ooo

quote author=Danilvex post=127232070]Are there any October 19 applicant(s) here that has gotten a response from Ircc?

Kenny4real68:
APPLICATION REFUSED!!! September 12th applicant

Reason: only based on financial situation

Sponsor: Uncle and myself as co-sponsor

Uncle Paid full tuition of $18,789 cad. ( note my program is one year PGC)

I have $6,000 usd in my Dom saving acc.

I also submitted my Naira account with about 18 million. ( though I have 8 million lump sum which I explained in my sop was sent by my uncle (sponsor) for living expenses. I even included evidence of transaction.

My sponsor submitted his company bank statement with closing balance of around 13 million , inflow 400 million and outflow out flow about 397 million

Now with all dis, how on earth was I refused based on financial status. Could it be the officer that handled my application was having a bad day or could it be the officer made mistake. I have seen people on this trend get refused, and they reapplied with same exact document and get approved.

My program is for January, I am thinking of reapplying, please any idea of what can be done different this time around.
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Baphil:

I posted here earlier that the agent that did my vv visa wasn’t communicating with me, and didn’t give me access to my account. I also tried the application status tracker but it didn’t go through. It was after I submitted that I was able to view my vv visa application and saw that it was refused.

In my imm form, when asked if I applied before, I said yes. When asked if I was refused, I said no, that my application was still in progress, without me knowing that my application was refused.

On November 1st, I raised a million web forms updating IRCC and explaining that it was an oversight on my part, and indeed, my visitor visa application was refused. I raised more web forms on Monday

Help me praise God ohhhh
