Although I haven't received any invitation from dragnet. Aren't they meant to send regret mails. Or they just send success mails alone

ceemac:
Let me lift some spirit here... Never give up Comrades...

Remember that dude that came here almost spamming about no acknowledgement mail or SMS after paper submission? Yes that same guy is me...
I still never got acknowledgement mail but I tried sending multiple correction mails to CIC as advised that I needed to advice my self to stop to avoid been seen as desperate... All that was done to forestall future mistake as I confirmed from VFS that a letter was ommited.

My medical mail was the first CIC mail I saw in my box from them and it dropped on the 14th of March with a 14 days ultimatum to report for medicals. I chose to do it in PH and went on the 23rd.

Finally, to Hod be the glory, Approval mail dropped yesterday on the 29th.

I applied via paper route on 25th Feb tho on Lagos.

Guess CIC now has faster processing.

Congrats

Ikem01, paper route university of Ottawa, MENG, I submitted my app MARCH 8, 2016, upfront medical

hayqinsbFX:
why the hell is a refusal note in french.....are they on expired weed.....

I am surprised.. Ur comment is funny

estherdim:
thanks alot bro,i want to apply as an undergraduate though

Oh yeah, just change the masters prog to undergrad,
Make sure u explain vividly y u want to study in Canada, even if the course is offered in Nigeria, state an advantage studying it over there will add to ur portfolio.. Dont start saying it will improve ur employment status wen u return. Maybe something like the curriculum is different, the course in CAD has added this and that which is not part of the curriculum here in naija.
OK ermm,
1. I feel like it's an SOP FOR ADMISSION, Nonetheless, elaborate on the point I stated, also use the SOP as a way to let the VO KNOW OF UR HOME Ties here in Nigeria.
2. Don't over degrade ur country I think it sounds desperate.
Hope this helps.
I stand to be corrected

Hello @estherdim I think u are amplifying some things here.
Anyways my little advice will be on the way u started ur letter
I think it should start like this
I am pleased to apply for study permit of Canada and to submit my application for your consideration.
I am, your name, a bachelor' of science in________, from________. (State ur school). I have been offered admission to undergo a two years Master of Engineering program at the University of Toronto, canada. I am to begin studies on the_______. My student ID number is_________. University of Toronto has a designated learning institution number_________.
2. Other things can fall into place after this.
Just my 2 naira, work on ur introduction, this could b helpful.

Dbnagato:
They put so many reasons at the back of the letter of refusal but they didn't tick any one of the reasons. Btw all my documents are legit and what is a GCMS file

What were the reasons stated? What program are u going for?

Guys is this now the normal stuff, anytime I track my app, it shows forwarded to visa office Accra, is it not gonna change to been processed as it used to be.
ANticipating ur kind response.

sholay2011:
All that has happened to you so far is normal.

Thank you sholay. I it that it wouldn't change to ur app is been processed at the Accra office like it has been for most people. Pardon me. Just curious

Good evening, I submitted by application for study permit through the paper route last week. My question is I haven't received any mail from cic, although I received a text message that day from vfs. Also when I track the app, it says it's been transferred to the visa office in Accra.
Please is this normal or this is how it is for paper route.
I welcome all ur kind suggestions. Thank you

vickyehi:
Tot so too but it turned out they collected my original acceptance letter, offer letter, the official fee schedule and others I can't remember.
so that's y my advice is photocopy all then go with both ur photocopies and the originals.just so u have ur bases covered.

Hey, they didn't collect my original acceptance letter, I asked why, they said I should photocopy it and attach it to the file. Hope it's not going to cause any wahala

vickyehi:
Ans
1...you can pay at the vac but its cash so withdraw the money....37550 that's if you aren't paying for any other thing apart fro the visa fee and biometrics
2....like I said 37530 sha as specified above....There is no service charge per say if they didn't do anything extra for u
3.....you can choose to Fill it....just download it and print..then fill it and then sign by hand


Nb ....just make sure to be on the safe side by making photocopies of all your documents and going along with both your originals and photocopies....and hold extra money for miscellaneous expenses.my advice is go there with 50k.

Thank you for ur quick response.. I tot they wouldn't need original documents except forfor the statement of account @vickyehi

Hello house, please for paper application
1. Can I pay at the VAC
2.how much for everything including service charge
3. Do I need to fill vfs consent from, I just stumbled on it via there site

gabrola:
did you buy the asset or is it a family asset? I

It's family asset, I was refused in my first application, an part of the reasons were personal asset, that's y I want to know what am meant to do

ikem01:
Hello house, it's been a while. Please I want to know how to declare an asset eg building or rental apartment as mine. Please how do I go abt it.
Your help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Pls thesoj and other gurus should help. Sorry if it is a repeated question.

Hello, my letter of admission contains most of the information required from the IMM 5483 check list, but it does not contain start and end date and tuition per semester. Please if I I submit it like that would it cause any problems or I should just request for another admission letter. In my letter of admission from Ottawa it stated clearly that "no more official documents will bb provided for the immigration as all the information is contained in the letter"
2. Photocopies of my documents do I need to certify them especially the waek cert, transcripts or I should send the original copies.

Hello house, it's been a while. Please I want to know how to declare an asset eg building or rental apartment as mine. Please how do I go abt it.
Your help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Guys since am reapplying, and I have done Medicals b4, I want to do upfront Medicals. Guys who have gone through this should pls add there input... Thanks..

seiraries:
Basically, calculate how much your tuition for a year is (i.e tuition for two terms), + $10,000cad (room & board) + others (let's assume $5000cad), the total should be your total funds available.
Have your uncle declare a little above that sum (the total funds available we just calculated) as money to be given to you per year in his sponsor letter.
Mind you, his account should reflect the declared sum preferably with a handsome leftover in the account.
Then let him write a heartfelt and convincing letter preferably dripping with emo detailing why he's sponsoring his dearest nephew bla bla bla.

Thank you very much... I will follow ur advice. Thank u thesoj.
Anyways, for paper applicants, I am aware we are meant to take the application fee money to vfs,. Are we going to do the biometrics that same day we pay like online applications.

thesoj:
If your scanned documents (especially the financial ones) are blurry, then either you need to come up with a better scanning/compression strategy, or use the paper route. With Adobe Acrobat Pro, it is a bit easier to convert documents to PDF without losing too much quality, assuming you directly scanned the files to TIFF or TIF format (scanned at a tatami currently working300dpi) in the first place. After converting TIF/TIFF to PDF you can further compress the file by re-distilling it, a process which removes unnecessary junk data that doesn't help image quality. This works like magic!

Nonetheless, from your previous posting the main issue I see is that your sponsor's company is sponsoring you yet they didn't give a convincing reason why. VOs are smart and mostly rational; anything that doesn't make sense will cast considerable doubt on the credibility of your application, thus likely leading to a denial. Fix your sponsorship issue.

Thanks thesoj, I really appreciate ur input. I am currently working on it. What abt the finds available section, what am I to put there?

Hello, seiraries, I read ur abt reasons for denials and solutions. I thank you for that cos I have seen some of my flaws but my question is, my sponsor has 33M as closing balance that is abt cad$200000 but I filled 37000 as funds available, was I meant to feel the whole amount or just that. Since the SOA I submitted was abt 30pagesit was blur cos I didn't find any app to compress it appropriately and he didn't state in his sponsorship letter the amt he was setting aside for me.
Please I need ur advice on this, as I plan to refire soonest
P. S My sponsor is my uncle and he's using his company.

skymorbabs:
U ar to submit 1 photocopy of ur credentials, original SOA, 2 white background passport. 2 photocopy of ur passport page & d original international passport.

Thank u boss, but I have more than one international passport, would I submit all and photocopy just the recent one, also my Transcript I should just photocopy it. Thanks for ur reply

Hello house, for paper application, am I meant to photocopy all the documents. Like the SOA, can I just sent the original. Copy, for my other documents I can just photocopy them.

ayooluwatoni:
Your case is not too complicated. It's basically about your sponsor's financial standing and about your own. If your sponsor's soa was good, then it could be that the VO didn't believe s/he would actually sponsor you. Which means, you should work on your sponsorship letter, if your sponsor is not your dad/mum, you should make the VO understand why s/he will be expending so much fortune on you, and also state the exact amount that would be given to you, put his/her Name on the sponsor column in your study permit application and also think of other things that would make the VO believe you.
Also work on your personal asset. I'm guessing you must have stated in your application you were working or had study gap, so you should show proof of what you've been doing since you graduated.

I wish u all the best

Thanks for the input but I finished my bachelor's degree in 2014 June ND completed my NYSC 2015 July, the only study gap I have is abt 4months..is it too much.. Anyways how do I eradicate that personal asset,

berexio1:
Try always to give advices u are sure of. Affidavit and sponsorship letter cannot solve "Personal asset and financial status". You don't have to comment if u don't have the answers. I personally don't comment on every question here especially the ones I am not sure of. Misleading anyone here is wrong. I have been given wrong info on this thread before he my outburst..Personal asset speaks on the principal applicant. The individual's SOA and other physical and non-physical assets.

Thanks!

Hello @berexio really appreciate ur input here and I understand what u mean, also @Jesusgang I also appreciate ur input. Your inputs are required by me.
By the way, I am not in a hurry, I would reapply February by the special Grace of God. I just want to start gathering my documents to refire. So I need to know what I need to do and what I shouldn't do.
Since I am reapplying,
1.do I still use the Same soa. (I do not want any ambiguities in my application).
2. Since I am addressing the issues ticked in my delay correspondence letter, should I attach it to my next application or it isn't necessary.
I appreciate ur response in advance.

airhunde:
You have said it all. If your uncle is the CEO and he has enough money in His account why not use him as your sponsor instead, with an affidavit of sponsorship and employment letter it will be very easy for you. But if u still want to use the company, then getting the employment letter and an affidavit stating that they are sponsoring you so you can come back and fill up a certain position in the company will be very nice.

Thank you very much @airhunde I appreciate, I think i will get an employment letter

[quote author=berexio1 post=40916002there]U can sEe everything points to ur finance. U already know what to d[/quote]Thanks for the input, I think i have been passing the wrong idea, in my application I stated that a company was sponsoring me, I didn't state it was owned by my maternal uncle. Pls pardon me with my questions, thanks for ur input in advance.
How do I show relationship with the company?
Must I work with a company first before I can be supported?
Can't a company sponsor who they want provided they have funds?


Anyways, they plan to employ me wen I come back from school since my discipline suits the needs of the company. Would this add anything positive to the application if they state this cos they didn't state it in the first app, they tot that since they have provided a declaration letter, CAC, tax clearance and SOA, That it was enough.

Please all the gurus and members in this forum, ur input is appreciated. Thanks.

Siga:
... ^^^ Tell ur friend to include his assets... Bank account statements, investments... to show he makes money... payslips ...Tax receipts....Inheritance...

Oga siga I hail oo, but my uncle put his SOA in my application and a declaration letter. Tax clearance CAC documents and letter off sponsorship, it's a company sponsoring me. All he did was sign a declaration as the CEO..

Also, How do I deal the with the relationships that they ticked, cos he's my uncle not the same surname. So what do I do, should I just state in my SOP that he is my uncle and should I include his travel documents. Thanks for ur response and I also welcome other responses.
