Medical request is 99.9% app being approved. So work with the 12weeks ircc processing time before getting worried

Queenfunlola:
After submitting application when will I get my medical request letter please ? I submitted with my husband and 2kids without upfront medical .
Pls anyone can help with this question.

Medical request is almost same as approval provided u didn’t fail… personally , I haven’t seen any1 given medical request and app denied .

diizzy968:
Not quite. It is believed that the chances of getting PPR is high once you get a MEDICAL REQUEST

MBS is always better

Hello guys,

If you need to make school fees payment upto $10k CAD, please reach out.

Escrow is welcome.

Get mpower and add it to d phd funding as pof

sudo1986:
Its like I am not ready for this Canada of a thing. This that people have a lot of money to show a proof of fund, and there is my brother relying on only 19,900 CAD PhD funding from his school.
Who will help with a proof of funding bayi?

Lagos

Abeg441:

Well, ircc requirement is to show pof for 1yr . You can now further show dem proof that u won’t be financially crippled for the rest of d years without working in Canada

Thomsyne:
Given your response,

Living exp for 3 years = 30k CAD
Tution = 19800 or 20k sha

Total 50k CAD. By CBN’s rate, this is about 16.5M.

So the 12M might not work. You’ll need to back this up with something else

Wish you all the best

If you can get the mpower loan add it to ur application

Fulani14:
Good day gurus,
Pls I need help on how to package my proof of funds as my mother who is my sponsor plans to sell her properties for 12m, would it be enough for an estimated tuition of CAD19800, also am thinking of using it as gift deed, or how shuld i present it to the visa officer? My sponsor also has intention to use the money to increase her business so she can be paying the school fees from her buisness. I would also like to know if I should add mpower loan to back it up.pls advise me on it

Maybe he should look for a sponsor .
Yes! those guys doing the pof tin charge d range of 3-3.5% .. so 150k for 5m is true .
But this parole works well for UK compared to Canada, UK doesnt really give a damn about lump sum amount but Canada does. Uk jus wanna see u maintain dat amount for 28days but that isn’t applicable for Canada . Unless he can use documents to explain the lump sum anyway, maybe to claim its return on xoxoxo investment or sales of xoxoxo property , but then he must back it up with proof

sudo1986:
Thank you very much for your response. Actually the person is currently doing a PhD progeam in China, but needs to relocate because his supervisor just resigned.
The person has not been able to work anywhere, hence he doesnt have any proof of fund to show.
I think he said he contacted someone about all these POFs of a thing and that person asked him to pay #150k per month for #5m. The truth is that the guy can not afford such money monthly. This is why I askes the question on his behalf if it is compulsory to present statement of account.

What could you suggest in this situation?

Thank you

Your Tuition plus additional $10k Cad ,thats what is required by ircc atleast to be available on ur pof.. Even if d funding is enough to cover all d tuition and d additional 10k required, it makes sense if u can further show to the VO that without the funding or work in Canada , you will be good to go and financially ok to live in Canada during your study years

sudo1986:
University of Victoria

By the way, which other expenses should be covered?

These are the expenses:

Tuition for each semester = $2,639.50
Athletics = $92.46
GSS Bus Pass = $81.00
Graduate Student Society = $95.25
GSS Dental Plan = $284.55
GSS Extended Health Plan = $409.00
Mandatory Medical Insurance = $265.00

Therefore, the person would pay the following for each term;
Fall Term = $3,866.76
Winter Term = $2,908.21
Summer Term = $2,908.21
Average for a year = $9,683.18

So, the person is left with $10,000+

Is there any other fee to show funding for?

What university biko ?
Yes , u would show statement for the remaining expenses the PhD funding didn’t cover

sudo1986:
Hello guys, please I have a question.

A brother is going for a PhD program at one University in Canada.

He got a funding of $19,921 CAD.

He will pay the sum of $7k+ for tuition and $2k for all other expenses.
In short, all the school expenses including small small money is $9,800 CAD/year.

This implies that he would be left with $10k+ yearly.

The question is; does he still need to present a bank statement? If yes, how much?

Thank you very much.

I guess people so keen to move long before their resumption don’t care about the living expenses, they have d confidence of disobeying d law and work under the table without enrollment … lol … no be everybody be rich kids for dis japa tinz oo, omo! Some ppl na loan and Dey gas go on time to begin to dey hustle for pay back … lol…. But disobeying the law isn’t a good idea for someone that would be looking forward to getting a PR after studies … make bad record no go haunt d person in future

kennyjoy:
We've talked about it several times here! It is not illegal or offensive to arrive before your start date, but you must have a genuine reason if questioned by a CBSA officer about why you arrived so early.

Another factor is your living expenses. Let me tell you something, once you cross the border into Canada, bills await you, REMEMBER you will start spending $ not naira again ooo, and you can't start working until your school resumes. So one month before resumption is still ideal, and you can settle in within that time frame. If you have huge POF & living expenses (money), well, that’s won’t be a problem.

Lol…my bad

Creativebelle:
She's a lady...yall assume everyone is a guy esp those of you that constantly use "bro" for everyone here..lol

According to the docs u submitted , Baba u get money , u get good business income , man no allow Canada make u unhappy , go chill and have fun jare .. Your type sef na holiday una suppose go dey do for Canada come back

Good evening everyone

I sincerely want to show my appreciation to everyone that has reached out, shown concern and prayed for me.

I can't thank you all enough and my prayer is for you all to succeed in whatever you lay your hands on.

I'm taking a break out of here so I can think straight.

God bless you all

Bye.

Join d nsppd prayer of mercy right now

This was there normal processing time before covid came and lot of backlogs happened. Get your gcms note and tackle the reasons for refusal…. It will end in praise

oyefhunke:
Hmnn
My application got refused on fri...I applied last month
How do I order for gcms note
What do I do to start new application
Then Is it not too fast to refuse my application

Your bank statement of atleast 4mnths
Evidence of your work and every evidence that serves as source of income flow into that bank statement
The receipt of property sold and all d papers of d property
As a self sponsor u will show evidence that u hv d total money for d duration of ur stay available and accessible
OR you show proof of 1yr stay in canada as requested by Cic for ur category and further show evidence that will satisfy the VO that there would be subsequent flow of income to you during ur stay in Canada without necessarily working in Canada .
If you have any other asset in your name I can add them too
The gurus here would also weigh in later I bliv, and you can also check on cic website for their requirements regarding POF

Chechem:
Please, anyone should go out of their way to help a brother... I appreciate the time in advance that you will put in, in answering me. Thanks

Did it work fine when u tried with pc ?

Queenfunlola:
Thanks prof

Congrats …victory at last

pumpernickle:
i just got a medical request from canada after a year of waiting

Maybe he was talking about some years ago . In 2014 my refused study permit application was processed in Accra, Ghana . But in recent years I have been seeing applications only processed in nairobi
And applications were attended to within 30days back when Accra office was handling it

Cheebu:
I am definitely 100% sure. I'm not in the habit of posting stuff I'm not sure of. It's even on the website. Accra is for Permanent Resident applications. But for Temporary Resident - like the Study Permit, Nairobi handles it. Lagos or Abuja may come in but the primary office remains Nairobi.

Here's the link if you care to research yourself.

Peace.

.

Guys that have requested for their notes will answer this . But you can check gcmsnotes dotcom website if u cud find any useful info as to your question

SoftdudeKay:
Hello house, please I requested for my GCMS notes since September but it hasn’t come yet, and I learnt that one can request for CBSA notes instead of GCMS notes as it is faster. Please, can I also request for my CBSA notes as my GCMS notes is yet to come? How much does it cost? And how do I request for it?

Any available information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yes I am . 3yrs ago when I went to ikeja pp office to renew my former pp cos I want to process 2yrs uae residence visa, those NIS guys didn’t allow me , they told me to wait until 6months to expiration and for Nigerians in diaspora it’s 1yr
Maybe cos my connect isn’t that strong sha

Kayil12:
Are you sure you are in this same Nigeria? Hmmmm, things are happening o.

We are talking about CAD nau not usd

Ojb555666:
USD is 445 Bro

Google or check the cbn website bro .. it should be around 320-330

damilola1978:
Does anyone have an idea of the current cbn rate naira to usd

According to NIS they won’t attend to renewal only if it’s 6months to expiration , I don’t know if the policy has changed now . I doubt if they would renew ur 8months to expiration pp, but if they do, u have to let ircc knw bout ur updated pp via webform so by the time ur application gets approved you can able to submit the new passport for stamping instead of d old one

Thelz:
Okay thank you..i Ve started visa processing already..I will just have to apply for the new passport so I can submit the new one when they request for it... I guess that's okay right?

Each passport comes with its num, but then d expired passport num would also be written on d bio data page of d new passport reissued …
They can only request for passport of an approved application, definitely it’s d passprt that has d passport number included on d application u will submit for stamping . The validity of the visa cannot be more than d validity of the passport tho
When u get to Canada u can always apply for passport renewal and submit it to d rightful authority for new visa stamping .
If you renew it now while u r here and while d visa is on it , d renewal will automatically renders d passport void and d new one becomes d valid passport .You will need another visa to be stamped on the new passport by so doing.

Ojb555666:
What if they have already requested for your passport? Can you still renew and travel with it?

It means u must hav a valid pp thru out ur expected time in Canada, and this can be one pp all thru or combination of old and reissued pp… for instance u have 2yrs validity on ur pp and u are goin for 4yrs course so u would approach NIS to reissue 5yrs pp for u ? U dey jonz …lol …dey won’t even attend to u until u have 6months left as expiration date on ur pp and 1yr for naija in diaspora

Cheebu:
It's on the passport request letter.

"Your passport must be valid for the duration of your expected length of stay in Canada."

"Please note that we cannot issue a visa beyond the expiry date on the passport."

That’s not true . Nothing of such is on Cic website , on their site dey wrote atleast 6months validity and they won’t give visa more dan d validity date on a passport . Let’s say for instance ur 8mnths validity pp gets stamped d validity date on d visa wudnt be more dan d 8mnths . 3mnths to d expiry date of d pp , it’s advisable u present a new pp where new visa for d duration of ur stay wud be stamped ….
To avoid all these stress , if u can renew ur pp now den go ahead and do it , so that u can use it for ur visa processing instead .

Thelz:
I have a lot of space as this is my first time applying to leave the country...am just worried about the time limit and what was said here that your passport has to be valit till the duration of time you will stay in Canada if not they won't stamp it... That's my fear.

Yes ! If you say someone is ur sponsor den you have to add d person’s statement and oda evidences that prove d person’s income to ur POF . Also, add evidence of the mpower loan

MumiOlivia:
OH! Thank you so much for your response. But can I use a sponsor statement of account as POF and equally put Mpower too, It won't work right?

It’s a student loan , they offer very low interest rate for international students planning to study in us and Canada . Not all schs are eligible for their loan tho. They can accept your loan request but dey won’t disburse d funds until you have gotten your visa and they confirm it.

MumiOlivia:
Good afternoon all, please what is Mpower? I noticed that few applicants that have gotten PPR used it as POF... How does it work?
