Sheron50: Sending a webform to withdraw isn’t final , IRCC must first confirm it. You can still retract the request before they act on it.Send another webform right away stating you don’t want to withdraw and include your application number for clarity. Thank you sir for your response. When you said ircc must first confirm it, you mean send me a response before they can fully confirm the withdrawal/cancellation, right? |

Farawayman: It is a redflag definitely, however if there are supported explanations, maybe some sales, some investments etc. I don't advise you submit just like that as I have had a visa rejection for this same reason before.
However during my PR application I didn't put anything about my salary, and the POF I availed was very huge, there was not problem with it, I didn't even submit a statement, just a letter from the bank. . |

MarksmanD: I think you should wait for your GCMS notes to properly understand the reasons why you were denied. But from your explanation, it seems like you didn't document how your dad amassed his funds by submitting receipts, payslips and invoices. Then also for your home ties, I think you should state in your SOP that as a manager in your dad's company, you're already being groomed to replace your dad as the next CEO in his company and you're going to Canada to get the needed academic qualifications to give you the right knowledge to act effectively in this capacity when you return back to Nigeria to take over from your Dad. Do away with any work experience that doesn't tie you directly to your dad's company. Thank you so much. I’m so grateful for your reply. I will have to wait for my notes.. |

sternakin: 1. It seem you're not married yet 2. What's your relationship with your sponsor 3. What are the documents presented to show financial buoyancy of your sponsor 4. Your employment status Thank you for your response. 1. Yes, I'm unmarried. So I was only able to include my family as proof of home ties. 2. My sponsor happens to be my father 3. I only submitted his CAC documents (although it was registered late last year), his shares with one company he used to work with, i submitted property documents, survey plans also 4. Right now, I do a few freelance writing and design projects for individuals so I couldn’t really use this as a proper work experience since my work isn’t registered yet. But I however submitted previous work experience between 2020-2023 which was much related to my profession. Although I added that I was a manager in my dad’s company as his company was related to my field of study. |

Bobomaigida: Sorry about the refusal.
The first thing is to request for your GCMS notes to know the exact concerns of the VO. In addition to the general concerns about the funds you have, the VO also mentioned lack of ties outside Canada, this could be attributed to the SOP not being written well. Okay. I have requested for it. I included my family as proof of home ties and my sponsor’s (father) company. But that’s about it. |

otunbadan: No panic, You can reapply.
Let me address this in normal normal 9ja understanding ...
Now, lets assume you are a visa officer for a sec, for one I think the funds from your sponsor should be in your account, not with the sponsor, except maybe a parent or your age may not allow them entrust the funds to you, hence the sponsor holding it, otherwise that 23m, it should be with you.
also present your sponsor in such a way that that is not looking like 23m his last card. he needs to have sufficient funds to cover you and himself, that's why they read bank statements, so if they remove 23m from his financial activities shown in his statements, personal accounts oooo, but business account statements fit help, how does it look after that? Visa officer dey check am. Also, his statement-of-account has to be 6 months I think and it shouldn't be a new account. If its first semester only you paid, present the sponsor as having the financial capacity to pay next year and even a third year incase you fail a semester. I am trying to say present you sponsor as financially capable to handle your issues and still be living his or her life!
Finally, 23m in CAD (I am using 1300 naira to 1 CAD ... I don't know the going rate for today or the day you applied) is 17,69k CAD, required cost of living funds is 20k CAD, sum all this up, hence its "insufficient" to the visa officer looking at your profile.
Also, really really confirm the cost of you tuition and calculate it to the last kobo, you need to pay one year and show you have the capability to pay for subsequent years. I have seen one time when we thought the school fees was 10k per year, when in fact it was 10k per semester which translate to 20k a year. Visa officer kept on rejecting, it was the 3rd time someone pointed it out to us! So analyze well.
Wish you Goodluck in this! Thank you so much. Please would it be possible to reach you for my reapplication.? |

Good morning guys, I just woke up to a refusal letter today from IRCC. This is my first application. I have attached the reason for the refusal below.
I submitted the sponsor’s statement of account tuning to over 23m. School fees of 9k were paid already. Investment certificate was also included. There was also land and business documents as well which i included as my proof of home ties.
Please can anyone help me on what the next step will be? Please. My school resumes in January and I’m wondering whether to apply again or just defer my admission.
