Hello house, good evening

I have a concern which I need advice.

My TB test expires by January 10th and I want to reapply for student visa before end of November .

I reached out to IOM but they said I can only redo the TB test a week before it expires.

Can the validity of the test result affect my application?

How would you advise I handle this matter?

Good evening house,

I have been having issues trying to book an appointment with IOM. It keeps saying an appointment already exists but there is none.

What can I do please?

It’s no longer funny, to be honest. Imagine getting an email for an interview after 10 weeks of my application. School has resumed since sep 22nd. Enrollment deadline is fast approaching. I’m confused on the next step to take at this point.

I sent you an email. Please check your inbox

Nelly02:

I did bio on 4th August and additional information was requested 18th August. I responded on the 22nd and since then no response.

My school enrollment is September 22.

Hello House,

Why is it taking UKVI so long to make a decision on my application, considering the fact that my enrollment is on September 22?

I did my bio on 4th August, First additional information requested on 11th August, I submitted the requested doc. on 14 August. Then second additional information requested on 18th of August, I responded on the 22nd of August. Since then, there has been no communication. I called their UK line on 1st Sept., they said it is under processing. I have reached out to my references and the bank and they said no correspondence from the UKVI has been received. My concern is that my program starts september 22, I have barely 3 weeks and I have no clue.

What do I do? should I just sit and wait.

jintex:
You should provide Reference letters and employment letters, certificstes e.t.c ,do not add bank account if it's not the one you are using for your POF so it doesn't contradict with the one you used for pof

Thank you for your prompt response.

I mailed you, would like us to discuss further in private because some information are sensitive that I wouldn’t like to spill online.

Is there anyone here the UKVI has specifically requested to provide evidence of employment, contracts and payslips?

My question:

Do they further request for your salary account bank statements to validate payslip transaction?

I sent you a mail @williams20

Greetings house

Please is there anyone here the UKVI has specifically requested to submit payslips? Please kindly indicate, I have further questions I want to ask.

Please has a new OJC group been created on Telegram yet? If yes please share link

Congrats

My tuition cost is 43200 CAD for 2 years and I have made a deposit of 10375 CAD. Considering living expenses to be 10k Cad, is 20million enough as PoF from my sponsor (mum)?

Please is there anyone here who has used an agency POF loan package to build up the account he/she used to apply. I need some clarification if there is anyone here who has an immense knowledge of it…

Good day gurus in the house �

please Who can enlighten me on how those agency that help people build “Proof of Funds” at an interest rate per month work?

Secondly, how much would be atleast okay as POF for my sponsor considering the following:

The Tuition cost for 2years for my program is $43200 CAD and I have paid $10,375 CAD as deposit. One year living expenses is $10,000 CAD

I would appreciate all the advice.

Happy new year to all…

Please I need you guys advise and direction on this….

My first study visa application was handled by an agent, truly proof of funds was an issue because my mum who happened to be my sponsor does not have a statement which is capable to bear the financial burden. At that time I had an approved MPower loan of 30k Usd but the agent refused to use the loan and instead sourced for a fixed deposit certificate of about 85k Cad on behalf of my mum for the purpose of prove of funds. Unfortunately the application got refused by the IRCC due to financial status and assets.

Now I had to defer my admission to fall 2023 because I want to apply again but I’m so confused how to go about it. All I have available as proof of funds is the Mpower loan and also I have paid a semester fee of about 10CAD, then I would source for like 5million naira to be transferred to my account as for living expenses.. Also as I won’t be using the agent any longer, he has refused to release the SOP he used for my first application.

Some people I asked said using a fixed deposit certificate at first and now going for a loan is a red flag but only if I have a good explanation for that on my LOE….

Please I would appreciate any idea on how to go about this ..

The guy in the video sha looks like Timaya. I plead justice for every lost soul.

Thankss so much,please I would like to connect with you for a more personal discussion. I sent you a mail request , you can also reach me on the number in my footnote

1. When reapplying, am I to tackle only the reason for my refusal or I have to submit proof for every category again?

You have to meet the requirement for every aspect of your application in this new application. If you focus only on the reason for the previous refusal, the visa officer can refuse your application with a new reason. Therefore, you must submit proof of sufficient funds, employment, ties, education etc.

2. Since I am unable to gain access to the Sop submitted for my first application, what do I do? Do I go ahead with writing an LOE to clarify the VO on the reason I was denied in my first application or Would the gcms note provide clear details of what was written in my SOP?

My advise would be to wait for the GCMS note. Although the GCMS note will not contain all the information written on your SOP, it will have the details on why your application was refused. The refusal letter you receive is generic. Meanwhile, you can start drafting your SOP and finalizing it when you receive the GCMS notes.

3. Must I submit payslip?

Payslips are not mandatory. However, it will help convince the visa officer that you indeed work for the company, especially if your salary does not reflect in the bank statement.

4. How do I go about the reapplication by myself. Firstly, I learnt I would need to download the “use of representative form” in order to cancel the rights of my representative. Secondly, how do I submit it? Is it through webform or along with my second application documents?

The Use of Representative form (IMM 5476) you signed with the consultant/lawyer was for the refused application. Since a decision has been made on that application, the person is no longer your representative for this new application and will not access it. In other words, there’s no need to submit IMM5476 to cancel the representation.

Considering the total cost of your tuition and living expenses, if your mum doesn’t have a source of income, spending 61K out of the 85K seems unreasonable even if you are the son. Did you submit proof of source of income for your mum? An employment letter and if self-employed, proof of business registration?

Good day house!!!

Great Nairalanders I greet y’all ���

I am new to this thread and I would appreciate every contribution to my story.

My study visa application was denied on the 2nd of June 2022 based on my personal asset and financial status ( see attached photo). I need advise on how to go about the following

The Representative and my application
First of all,the first application was handled by a representative but I plan to re-apply by myself the second time.The application was processed through a representative portal so I couldn’t have access to some of the information that was submitted such as SOP. When I was sent the refusal letter by my representative, I demanded I have access to the portal on our next reapplication in order to follow what is being done but she made me understand that their portal is different from the individual GCkey account and She can’t grant me access because she handles other application through same portal . I did my research and found out she was saying the truth. She said the only way I can have access is to create an individual GCkey account for my reapplication and then she would forward every documents submitted for my first application to me so I can review it and plan on how to clarify the VO on my next application. She forwarded the documents but excluded the SOP she submitted for my first application, when I reached out to her concerning the SOP, she politely refused and said that it is one thing she doesn’t do and advised I order for my GCMS note. I have already ordered for the notes and expect them by ending of July.

Sponsor/Proof of Funds / Personal asset
In my first application, my mum was used as my sponsor and the document submitted as POF was a fixed deposit certificate worth $85,000 CAD. My whole program fee for 2years is $41,500 CAD (initial deposit paid =$4000 CAD) then 2 years living expenses is equivalent to $20,000 CAD…program fee + living expenses totalling $61,000 CAD. No landed property document was submitted.

For my second application, I plan to apply as self-sponsored and use an Mpower loan of $30,000 usd which has already been approved, I have paid an additional $6375 cad to the $4000 cad initial deposit totalling $10,375 cad to make up for the first semester school fees(all receipts are available). I also plan to submit my personal account showing atleast 3-5 million naira which would include some amount that would be gifted to me as support from family . I am making plans to acquire some documentations for landed property as well.

Note: I didn’t use the Mpower loan at first because the representative wasn’t convinced on how to go about using the loan but seeing 3 of my friends that got their ppr using Mpower loan as POF, I think I’m confident about using it.

Employment
I’m a freelancer presently but I met with one of my past employer who owns an audit firm and he has agreed to assist me with employment letter and any other documentation I require but he made it known to me that he does not pay his staff with payslips. I plan to build up my account through him by sending an agreed sum of money to him at the end of the month and then he pays into my account. At least from now till December I can be able to raise a substantial amount in my personal account. would there be an issue if I don’t submit pay slip?

Further questions:

1. When reapplying, am I to tackle only the reason for my refusal or I have to submit proof for every category again?

2. Since I am unable to gain access to the Sop submitted for my first application, what do I do? Do I go ahead with writing an LOE to clarify the VO on the reason I was denied in my first application or Would the gcms note provide clear details of what was written in my SOP?

3. Must I submit payslip?

4. How do I go about the reapplication by myself. Firstly, I learnt I would need to download the “use of representative form” in order to cancel the rights of my representative. Secondly, how do I submit it? Is it through webform or along with my second application documents?

Please I need advice from gurus in the house because I wish to get it right this time.
@frankrobbn1 abeg reason my matter

Thanks in advance.

Toceen2022:
The truth is, no easy admission anywhere.
Check and Follow the admission requirements as perfect as you can.

I can only say that Top-Universities (e.g University of Toronto, McMaster University etc) may be difficult to enter. You can search for list of Canadian universities ranking, and check from top 10 - 25 in the ranking, then see the ones supported by Mpower and apply. But the fact is that everything still depends on how solid your application is!

Check University of Windsor

Congratulation on getting your study visa approved on second trial. Please I really need to connect with you cos mine was refused the first time and I plan to re-apply. I sent you an E-mail request.

Only the ignorant would believe Fr. Mbaka’s claim of Peter Obi. Gone are the days we were ignorant, religious title doesn’t make your opinion right.

The way you’re holding the money shows it’s not yours. Go and return the money and stop seeking attention. Bye.

Hello house , can I provide only fixed deposit certificate as pof?
