You can change course, but you will need to do that before your SP application.

YulPapparrazi:
Can we change course when we gain admission? Because I’d be replying and my files are already plugged in

Change course that all. Or use EE.

YulPapparrazi:
These courses are not my course eh, Canada really wants to discourage int’l students
Can there be a way out ? Can these laws change?

What you should include is TCC if IRS Ogun issues state tax you can include it.

OllyM:
Please I need help with my sponsor business documents.

He has a registered business but no tax documents or certificates, can I go ahead with the little IRS Ogun state tax he has, or we have to get those tax documents too

After liquidating the funds kindly back it up with document to proof its source, you can use any of the account however I strongly recommend you include your salary account in your application.

damyzel:
Dear Friends of the house,

please, i want to liquidate my mutual funds in order to get MBS from my bank for my LOE. which account is best to use salary/savings account. then please is it a must to include my salary account? kindly advise. is there a salary that is low to show a VO?

Sorry about your refusal on the second attempt, would advise you to apply for a GCMS note and defer your admission if you have not done that.

Popson09:
Good day guys,
I just received my second refusal letter. Please I need your advice on how to tackle the reasons for my refusal. Attached is the letter from IRCC

Many people who applied in July are still waiting for a decision. I pray it favors you all that are waiting

Biddieg:
Hi everyone, please who else is waiting for a decision? Submitted since 11th of July, did biometrics the next day. I also did upfront medical June. Please help the waiting, fasting Omo. Who else is in this same situation please make hbp to finish me

If your visa was issued very recently, there might be a slight delay in receiving the POE Introduction Letter. It can take a few days after the visa is approved. Most times your stamped passport is returned before it will show. You don't need to worry.

Eckimalu:
Good morning all, please I need further clarification, I have gotten my visa days ago but there's no port of entry introduction letter yet and I learned that it is mandatory at the border for study permit proper. My question is, what should I do now?

4 months SOA is what is required however you can wait till 6 months before you apply again. Is it a new account?

Daaaz0409:
Oh, that means I don’t have to wait for 6 months?

If the funds has been in your sponsor's account for 4 months, you should still use the same sales of property to explain the lump and attach other documents to proof the finance of your sponsor.

Daaaz0409:
Hi my Ogas please I’d like to just confirm something regarding Pof, my initial application was rejected became of lump sum even though I included the sales documents of the property that was sold. Rn the money(52m) has spent 4 months in my dads bank account. I would just like to ask what the best way is.
1. Should we leave the money there for 6 months then apply again? Will that change anything?
2. I read on the thread that people buy GIC, is that a better option?
3. An agent advised that we convert the money to drafts or some form of money market fund
All inputs will be appreciated. I want my next application to scale through without this pof hassle. Thank you all 🙏🏻

Read this thread, and the previous you will find the details, however you can drop your question people will respond to it.

Vbanti:
Hello everyone. Please i need details about canadian study visa. In recently applied to newfoundland memorial and labrador university but awaiting admission for winter semester. I want to enquire about the tuition fee payment. It was stated that their tuition fee is paid per semester but someone told me that I might be required to pay for a full year before I'm granted a visa

Also, my dad is my sponsor. I want to know how to draft a sponsorship letter and additional details for a successful visa grant. Any contributions will be highly appreciated

You don't need to worry, 3 months to the expiration date you should apply for extension from inside of Canada.

febishola20:
Thank you for your response, I just got my passport back now, and it’s only valid for 9 months, the visa would have expired before the start of the program , that is September next year... I’m really starting to get worried now

No, I have someone who got his visa last year, deferred one, and had to apply to the same school and program since Uni Calgary only allow for 1 deferment, the said person just entered Canada last week. His visa will expire next year dec, and was issued 2 years SP at POE.

febishola20:
Omo, does this mean this study permit is gone

Please do share the number so that he can cross-check, and ensure to comes back to apologize because I know you will do that. I am not hiding my face on all my platforms

RonaldoMessi:
I think JustMellow, JM12, Buyaka and Bullstriker are all the same person, bcus their location is either PH or Edo.

@BillQ , can you post their/his phone number ?

I would like to crosscheck it online.

If possible, thoroughly analyze the ineligibility message to identify any flaws in your revised NOC (22311) profile. The NOC change may have influenced other criteria, such as your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. You can try altering these factors inside the same account to make yourself eligible again. If the system does not enable you to resolve your ineligibility issue in the current account, you could consider opening a new account and selecting the right NOC (22311) from the beginning.
NB: To prevent duplication issues, ensure that the former profile is closed or deactivated before creating a new account. You do not want to appear to have numerous profiles active at the same time.

Bullish99:
Hello great minds! I need your candid advise on way to go pls.

This morning, I realized my initial NOC (72205) I got in the pool with isn't the correct one, I made an adjustment to NOC (22311) they both have close similarities however, I found out the 22311 best describe what I do currently.
Immediately I updated it, my profile became ineligible.

I currently have a refused visit visa (Home tie issue) under same account (which made me have an active biometrics). My initial EE profile got expired in July and I created another (which is now ineligible) on the same account and got back in the pool in August. My question now is that, can I create another account entirely while selecting the NOC 22311. Or get back in the pool with same account.

Rescheduling the visa interview till after your new passport is obtained is the safest option. It may cause a delay in your procedure, but it will guarantee that you follow the six-month rules.

VincentTobe:
Good day please . I have applied for a new passport but my capturing is scheduled on the day of my visa interview. The passport isn’t expired, but it expires a month after my program in the U.S ends and the new embassy policy is to come with a passport 6 months beyond program end date( as stated on the appointment confirmation)
My passport expires in 2026, should I proceed with my current passport for visa interview or should I cancel the visa appointment and go for my passport capturing and wait for a new interview date. Please I need your help

NEW ADMISSION PROCESS FOR POLAND.

The below must be done before you apply to any Polish school.

👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

As per the recent directives from the Polish Government, all international applicants intending to study in Poland must have their diplomas issued outside Poland legalized and obtain a certificate of equivalency (Nostrification). This certificate is only issued in Poland

To obtain this certificate of equivalency (Nostrification), please follow these steps:

To receive the Decision of the Superintendent of Education confirming that your educational documents meet the standards of secondary education in the Republic of Poland and qualify you to apply for first-level (bachelor's) higher education, you will need the following documents and actions:

Legalization of High School/ Bachelor Degree Diploma

Supplementary Documents

These documents should include the following information, if not already included in the diploma:

With these documents and their copies, you or your representative should submit your application to the Opolskiego Kuratorium Oświaty for recognition of your educational documents. The recognition process may take up to 30 days and can be extended in certain cases.

For more information, visit: Recognition of Foreign School Certificates and Diplomas in Poland.

Best wishes to everyone!!!

I can see that my name is still in your previous post after you discovered that you confused me with another individual, JustMellow. I want to clarify that I have no involvement in the matters discussed in those posts nor have any connection to the issues mentioned.

I kindly request that you take immediate action to remove my name from all relevant previous posts by modifying all the posts you mistook me for the said person. It is a straightforward request and easy to do, and I expect prompt attention to this matter as the content inaccurately associates me with something I have no part in.

BillQ:
Frank Robben and Justmellow scammers. I pray to meet thrm one on one especially that Justmellow I will shoot him at first glance . Fraudsters, broke bastards.

It is typically unnecessary to submit scans of all of your PoE (Port of Entry) stamps with your study permit application, especially when you have already supplied all passport data sheets and visa pages. Prioritize recent and relevant travel. focus on the last five years of your travel history. Include only the entry and exit stamps for relevant countries like the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Germany, and other EU nations. If possible, combine relevant entry and exit stamps into a single document to save space.

DTravel:
Hi All.
I’m currently completing my study permit application.
I have extensive travel history from childhood. I included all my passport data pages and visa pages. Do I have to include scans of all my PoE stamps gotten while traveling?
The passport upload document size is already 2MB on the dot.
Any advise helps. Especially from any who has gotten PPR

You are not the only one, some program started today. hope you have defer?

Leapp:
Ok yes thanks I understand it , but I have a reason for it that's why.
Still searching for though in case.

1. Deferring to take a Pre-Health course might not negatively impact her IRCC application, but it could complicate things. IRCC may question the relevance of this course to her original study plan for Practical Nursing. If she chooses this route, she should inform IRCC promptly about the program change and ensure that it aligns with her career goals in healthcare.
2. There is no potential risk if she defer to F2025, it will only cause a delay in your family plan
3. Raise a webform about the urgency, if no response then plan to defer the program.

Seeking Advice on Study Permit Application Dilemma

My wife is facing a challenging situation with her study permit application for Practical Nursing at St Clair College. Despite submitting her application on July 18, 2024, with an upfront medical, the school is urging her to defer admission to January 2025. However, the January intake does not offer Practical Nursing, and the next available session is September 2025.

Her concerns are:

1. Can she defer to January 2025 and take the Pre-Health course without negatively impacting her IRCC application?
2. Should she wait until September 2025 for the Practical Nursing course, and what potential risks or consequences might arise from deferring?
3. How can she navigate this situation effectively, given her anxiety and our significant financial investment ($8000 deposit)?

We would appreciate honest advice and guidance from experienced individuals to help us make an informed decision

Qlife is cheaper, so why not use them?

Trust22:
Pls someone should assist me here... Am using IOM for medical and i booked upfront medical which will be on 28 of this month which is next tomorrow... The fee is 95 dollars but I don't know the exact exchange rate to use .. they only provided account details to transfer to ...

Although you were not truthful in her application, you could have used other things as her home ties, at this point just wait for her decision.

jayciekey:
Hello everyone, I need your inputs.

I applied for a study visa in December 2023. I was approved in January 2024 (my studies is to begin in September 2024). I am enrolled in a diploma program in a college.

In April 2024, while I was still in Nigeria, I put in a visit visa application for my wife because they had banned SOWP for spouses of students in diploma programs.

While we were applying for my wife's visit visa in April, I was still in Nigeria so we applied for my wife's visit visa independently and that she's going to Canada as a tourist (tourist visa). I didnt mention my study visa in her application and also used myself her one of her hometies since I was still in Nigeria at the time of applying for her visit visa.

We haven't gotten a decision on her visit visa yet... This month (August) I have now arrived Canada to begin my studies next month (September) and I have gotten my study permit.

My question now is, do you think i should raise a webform on my wife's visit visa application to update IRCC about my studies? Or should we just wait for a decision?

Another thing to note is that my wife is currently pregnant and may deliver this month or next..

So what would you advise we do or how would you advise we proceed at this point? Thanks as I await your responses

Check Mpower, but their interest rate is high tho.

Leapp:

Good morning all. Please I have submitted my application for over 2months now and I am yet to get a response. Please how do I go about it; is there a phone number to call or an email address to send a message to. Please I need to know how I can get a response if not I forfeit my tuition deposit already paid

Avoid them and, leave the group.

Timeofgod:
Hello,
Greetings everyone, please does anyone here know about a group call naira to cad exchange pound, USD, Aud foreign currency? I don't who added me to that group, but I saw them exchanging 1 cad for 1k, USD for 1300, pound for 1700. I feel they are not legit because the admin strongly warned that no one should private chat anyone outside. My question, everyone will want to sell his dollar or pound for higher rate, why are they selling below what is sold out there? If anyone here know about the group and it's genuine, should please tell me oo.🤣 awoof dey sweet, but e no go porch my belly o🤣🤣

Due to the new policy, your wife can't accompany you on a spouse open work permit. She will be eligible for a visitor's visa.

Diyke4rich:
Good day everyone

Please I need advise and tip before making any move, I am planning on moving to canada with my wife, I intend going through college route been that I have only ssce, will two of us be granted visa? How much will be enough for both of us in this whole process.

Sorry about your refusal, submitting 13 pages of SOP does not guarantee an approval, since you have ordered the GCMS note let it come out first, what might be the issue is TCC, you submitted a registered company without TCC.

Marcgrace:
Hello @Bobomaigida
Thank you.
I submitted a comprehensive 13-page (SOP) document, accompanied by a detailed explanation of the Proof of Funds (POF). The submission also included documentation of a substantial annual pension fund, supported by a CAC Nigeria certificate, as well as evidence of an additional income stream from a rice investment, along with the Rice company's CAC Nigeria certificate.
I will go ahead and request a GCMS note.

It is just a normal procedure and means your application is under review

May2707:
Hello I got a request from ircc to do medicals..
I want to ask what are the chances of getting the visa after medicals?

Yes, it's important to explain the sudden increase in your sponsor's account balance to avoid any suspicion from VO.
[b]In the sponsorship letter[b], you should mention that the funds were acquired by selling two properties. Provide details of the sales, including the dates, the amounts received, and the purpose of the sale.
[b]In your SOP[b], you should briefly mention that your sponsor recently sold properties to fund your education. Emphasize that the funds were obtained legally and specifically earmarked for your studies.
Finally attach all supporting document to proof this

Edrick:
Hi guys. Good evening.

My sponsor (parent) recently sold two of his lands on seperate occasions and the money was sent to his account. The thing is the amount in the account before wasn’t up to required POF and now there’s a lump sum in the account.

Is it necessary to provide a section to explain this on his sponsorship letter to explain this situation (in addition to the deeds from this sales) and do I still need to do explain this in my SOP?

Kindly use the default email on my profile to contact me.

Nonybb:
Can you send me an email of your phone number, I want to speak with you

Since you don't have a job, then your family should be your home ties and your long-term/ future goals[quote author=sunnnnnnnnnnny post=131521929][/quote]

In general, being refused an F-1 visa does not impact your existing B1/B2 visa, because these are independent visa categories with different objectives.

Amydah:
Hello House,
I have been following this thread for a while and it has really been of great help. Kudos to everyone. However, I am in need some clarification . I hold a Bsc in Accounting and EMBA in Operations and Production Mgt both from OAU with 6 years work experience in the banking industry. I have a valid B1/B2 visa. Had my baby in the US last year and paid all hospital bill in full before coming back home
I want to pursue a Masters in Business Analytics for Fall 2025 semester.
1). Kindly give recommendations of schools that provide full funding and GA for Fall 2025. with high acceptance rate(would greatly appreciate a hold with GRE waiver)
2). Is a MSc in Business Analytics in line with my undergraduate and MBA degree. I’m afraid the VO may ask why I want to pursue another Masters and may deny me.
2). In the case where I am not granted a F1 visa, does it affect my B1/B2 visa?

Apologies for my lengthy write up and I look forward to your responses.
Thank you.
