I see, reason I think we should just take these study route to PR as a privilege rather than a do or die japaa must happen thing because of the situation of our country. South Africans don't run away from there country as we do. Too bad.

Kurukuru:
They said that the integrity of the immigration system has been bastardised. The PR pathway is just a priviledge for the intetnational students. Section 216 of the IRPA that establishes international student program wants those coming to Canada to be bonafide students. But the way we conduct ourselves has proven to them that we not bonafide students. We have splashed to their face that we are immigrants.

Seems it's the only TRV Canada issues now. The days of tourist and conference visit visa are beginning to expire gradually.

Tailadivaaaa:
It’s visit to family- my brother.

Hello, is your visit Tourist, Conference or Visit to someone in Canada?

Tailadivaaaa:


I submitted March 2nd 2024 and just got mine on 17th September- my birthday. I believe they are still attending to March applicants and even earlier. I pray for favourable responses for everyone still awaiting responses.

Guy calm down now you have waited for over 6 months patiently, do you want to fly the next day lolz....u have it now so just be patient, Canadian visa stamp will be embossed on your international passport, i know you just cant wait to confirm that reality and joyfulmoments. Congrats.

Tailadivaaaa:


Wow! I pray I get mine this early too. Thank you for your response. 🙏

I saw an April 2nd 2024 Application with PPR for 20th September 2024 on Instagram today, so April Applicants get excited, eyin lokan.

Others in preceding months like me keep praying and hopeful. God is still in the business of favouring his own.

What is the timeline for Nigerians applying from UK saying? What is your track on progress with gcms note? No one can help you better than yourself. Take charge

omega2128:


Uk application
Submitted 2nd November, 2023
Status - waiting

Its really a long time but again maybe Nigerinas applying from UK also have a processing timeline that is long, they have to figure that out while exploring options like gcms note tracking.

pseudonomer:


Really?

How many support have we given Billonaires like Dangote that is investing?

Omoapena:
This is sad, and at the same time, a big opportunity for a billionaire to venture in same line of production

Agreed, they plan to reduce Student visa from about 475k in 2024 to about 425k or so in 2025...still enough to go round but you must come prepared to justify the investment.

techgen:
You're very right on this... All this people too like justification.... Anything you mention, just ensure their is evidence.

and again, the way all this whites thinks are very different from blacks... They want you to explain things like baby , 🤣

If not OYO.

Note: don't be distracted by all this caps... Canada is big enough to accommodate everyone of us and just like in every nation... Skills people always find their way.

Some guys in this forum will qualify for Canada VO.

Dem too sabi book.

bullstriker:
Sufficient funds depend on the type of sponsorship and ability to demonstrate reliable sources of income. For example, you must show funds for the tuition fees and living expenses for the duration of your program if you have no sponsor, OR show funds for one year and a reliable source that can generate funds in your absence for the subsequent year. On the other hand, if you are using a sponsor, you can show just the cost of education for one year, regardless of the duration of your studies. It is noteworthy that showing just the minimum is not recommended as it is unconvincing for the sponsor to spend all the funds on your education. In your case, it seems the VO believed that the funds are unavailable for your studies, hence the refusal under IRPR 220(a) and (b), which are insufficient funds for tuition and living expenses, respectively. A VO can refuse an application for insufficient funds, even if the balance is enough to cover the cost of education if;
1. there are lump sums with no reasonable explanation.
2. Inability to demonstrate the relationship between the sponsor and you, and if the sponsor is a thirty party, the incentive for the sponsorship.
3. The account was opened recently
4. It is a corporate account with poor cash flow and/or failure to show the sponsor is the business's sole owner and has access to the account.
5. Unconvincing source of income

This list is not exhaustive. Most importantly, order gcms note.

So sorry about your refusal. Your ordered gcms note will give you better clarity.

Know that it is not just having N40m in your account that is the koko, you must be able to justify how you earned the money and how you are continue to earn to sponsor your program.

Without that justification, even if you put 100m in your account, it will be refused for insufficient or unavailable fund.

Rachy3063:
Good afternoon everyone .
I received a refusal letter yersterday .
I really feel so bad .
Same with a friend of mine.
I was told my fund was insufficient
I have 48million in my account as a proof of fund and a landed property document worth more than 30 million naira .
Attached is the message received from IRCC.

Do MSc Research, they alllow dependants.

Rachy3063:

UK doesn't allow dependant . The reason I'm avoiding UK.

Congrats man.

SirAlexOsho:
I got my PPR today.

Below is my timeline.

Submission for me and my daugther on March 12th 2024. I didn't need Biometrics as its expires in 2027. My daugther also needed it as she is under 14.

I have previous Canada travel history in 2019. My sister was on work permit but got her PR during the wait time.

I think my daugther lack of precious canada travel history is what made the application take very long.

I wish everyone expecting their PPR best of luck.

Cheers guys!

Almost impossible. The closest I have seen is a PhD holder from Nigeria with Canada PR gotten via Express Entry gets an appointment without need for LMIA or any work permit.

If you can do the work, get high score in English and French test.....then you can try Express entry for PR but young people are lazy and some of us older cannot cope with the stress, so we all want the expensive school route.

Maria96:
how many people do you know that has gotten work permit from Nigeria?

When I see ppl comment, I wished there could be a requiremen£ for age and I£ on Nairaland before allowing people to register. Some ppl have chosen to become local for life. I am ouuta here.

Well, someone thinking of doing PR before will find it useful. The most shocking for me is the changing of the rule for SOWP for spouse of Masters programme. It must be 16 months (2 years) in length. Then the spouse applying for SOWP must also be in TEER 0 or 1 (Management or Professional) classification of employment or any employment in labour shortage. Canada don vex oh. This regime is trying too much to favour her citizens because of elections.

ezzylee:


Na the IELTS announcement shock me pass.

Civil certificate is what is recognized by Nigerian law.

Aafiyah:

Hello guys. What would be an acceptable marriage certificate for Canada spousal open work permit application? My partner will be joining me after I get my study permit at the port of entry, and we only have the Islamic certificate of marriage. Will this do or do we have to have a civil marriage certificate?

With the new rule on work, study has more chance.

The new immigration route says LMIA or SOWP will only be available for Management and Professional positions that is TEER 0 and 1. They have removed 2,3,4 and 5 to reserve for Canadians.

Another option is any job level Teer 0 to 5 where there is labour shortage e.g Care

reachilly:

Please I’d like to move over to Canada next year and I would like to enquire from people over there.. what route do you consider best?? Study or WORK?

You can also share more context for better advice.

1) Is your brother and family trying to visit a person with status in Canada like a student, worker, PR or Citizen?

2) Is it a tourist visit with no one in particular in Canada

3) Of course I am not sure it's for conference


Sharing his case scenerio can also give us visibility about his reapplication chances if we get a gcms note. Although someone has given the current situation in Canada now as per Visit application which is really the truth.

Dfather1:
Please house I need help.

My brother applied for Canada visa.
He submitted his application by February and had his biometric capturing on 27th March.

He received a refusal message today.

The reasons for his visa denial are as follow

1.Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel
for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable). �

2. The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the
details you have provided in your application.�

My questions are:
1. Can he reapply? If yes, what's the duration of stay before re application?

2. What is a country visa that is easy to get now?

I dont know the christianity sermon we hear in Nigeria or Africa. If people become successful by what they proclaim you would have been Dangote by confession.

Wether you like it or not , you must add quality work to your grace/faith else it will be faith without work which is DEAD. You think I am not spiritually inclined? All the best to you but hope you put the best foot in your application process because those elements are critical in the decision of your application by IRCC and not just confesssion/what you desire. I wish you well, I am not negative I am only telling you the realities of life/spirituality and you should adjust your expectations by having backups. Not everyone that work hard will get Canada visa especially these times.

I had your mentality before the MP told me to see visa approval like someone welcoming you to his house, you dont use your confession or rule to enter. You have to abide by the rule of your invitee and beside sometimes you can fulfil the rule and he will still say dont come. I adjusted since and I am better. Lets not make our country situation make it look like it must happen, it is not our heritage in Christ.

I wish you well bro, we will celebrate you as your approval doesnt impact on mine and vice versa so why should i hate?

tobe1997:
The negativity is too much. Let it be done for you accordingto your words. I am simply telling you what will happen for me and yes my case is special to God and ircc. You can chose to believeanythinv for yours.
Thank you.

Wow, I never even thought about his refusal in that direction.

For me, my balance even came down from 20m to like 2m cos I was paying my spouse tuition and living expenses and it later rose to over 20m courtesy bonuses and salaries (attached). My immigration support advised me to print from the 20m opening balance to closing balance in excess of 20m plus for my 6 months statement. I didn't know such details matters in funding profile of an applicant.

Opeyemi007:
I’m sorry for your refusal.
Your salary is 1M
Opening balance was 7m, whilst closing balance was 30m. That means you accrued 30X your salary in 7 months. If you didn’t sell a property or received some sort of bonus someplace, that looks like fundsparking and it makes your application look bad.

If there is no ban, he can reapply anytime he deems ready to but it is advisable to get the gcms notes (which will state the explanation for the visa officer refusal of his application).

With the details of the gcms notes, he can then correct all the concerns of the visa officer which sometimes may take time on its own to fix.

It is after then he does have a chance to get approval if he reapplied. Else, it will be another gamble to throw away 100 CAD, huge PoF profile and 6 month waiting time

Obviously that will convince the VO that he doesnt need to pay tuition, else they will want to see it in PoF.

Duchess102:
Make sure to state that your offer covers the tuition, insurance and living expenses. As regards to this offer, you are allowed to start study on a waived tuition fee. I wish you could get a tuition fee wavier letter from your school.

It's complicated. Make I go sleep.

ofime123:
What makes you think he will get US visa or europe visa, because thousand of Nigeria ha e also gone to those countries with visit visa and never came back

Sorry I have corrected myself.

I meant other people's activities affected you.

Am sorry I didn't put it well.

Ramaii:

My good broda this asylum talk on this platform is not helping any of us, i think is good for us to knw ircc have Nigerians on their payroll n those pple get info frm social platform like this. So we shld try n stop doing all these talk of asylum on public platform like this.
And is good we knw Nigerians are not d nmbr one asylum seekers, Indian are nmbr one but u can never ever see them trying to speak against it on public platform like we do for d sake of correction.
Indian asylum seekers...
Lie more on visa application
Fake more on visa application
But get higher rate of visa approval than us, why do u think dat is. They don't expose them selves publicly like we do, together with other more reasons.
Even if what u are saying is correct d way u said it without compassion is really not good. Plz broda nxt time don't do like this because u put me in a bad light like i told u I am travelling to seek asylum n u can most likely be destroying ur own chances of success too.
Lastly if we keep giving pple negative energies like this on d this platform pple will most likely stop posting refusal dat will be of help to another person.
No hard feelings.
Cheers

Visit USA or/ and Europe if you can . It will boost your travel profile. Then you can do Canada. Infact you will get CAN plus.

Another thing is allow madam and the children go for a sponsored vacation by you. When they go and come, you can then apply for yours.

By so doing you get strong home ties for each application.

When we condemn the act people give as excuse for abusing asylum privilege it looks like we dont want there progress. For one National that falsely claims asylum in Canada about 2k genuine persons will be refused also. That is the effect. So sorry for your refusal even with such high profile.

I am happy you are applying for your notes, it will give you better clarity of what to do.

It doesn't apply to you because in all the earth God made your case special or IRCC will apply a different rule for you.

At last the outcome will either be Approved or Refused. Not accepting this is what breaks people's heart and make them feel suicidal when they get a decision. We spiritualize everything in this country as if those refused are not children of God or don't pray enough.

tobe1997:


Thanks. That doesn't apply to me. I just asked a question don't want any negativity. Thank you

Can this guy breathe in oxygen without OBO?
