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.

background check will always be in progress till your decision comes out, It involves reviewing an applicant's history to ensure they are admissible to Canada.

Neche207:
sir thank you for this number, thou eligibility has not started but please what does background check in progress mean.

This is their Kenya office, just call them

Nonybb:
Have the number you gave really worked for others. I mean, they got a response?

Have you tried to call them? +1 (800) 267-6788. you can send webform twice a week. An application that stayed this long is likely to come out positively.

Nonybb:
That guy you replied and myself have the same concern, I applied since April 26th and the school is resuming September 1st. I have sent a webform and still got no reply

Send a webform to IRCC including the resumption date of your program

Marcgrace:
I submitted my student permit application on June 26, but I haven't received any updates from IRCC yet. My program is set to start on August 26, and unfortunately, my college does not allow deferrals, so I'm getting anxious about the delay.

Is anyone else experiencing a similar delay with their student permit application?

Download the lastest version same place you want to upload the old version. click on the form.

tracy0803409:
Goodmorning House, please how do I download the latest version of IMM forms for study permit, the one I downloaded , after validation , its not uploading on their website


Responses please, Thank you

it seems you are confused, there is no document like an undergraduate work permit, if you complete an undergraduate program in Canada you will be issued PGWP, and then you can get a job

Ronzy1990:
Good morning House...

Please on completion of an Undergraduate program in Canada what options do I have?

Can I get a work permit - is there an "Undergraduate Work Permit"?

Or

Am I to immediately apply for Master's?

Please help clarify these

1.2M and 1.5M can be a lump sum depending on the account if, for the last 6 months, you have not had such a deposit then such an amount can be considered as a lump sum, you need to explain it

Dodieeee:
Hi everyone,

Please I need clarification. Is 1 million and 1.2 million lump sum?
I have 16.5m lump sum that I have already explained with documentation to back up. But I have deposits ranging from 500k to 1.5m in my account. Do I need to explain those too?
Please I need a reply as soon as possible.

Crystalgirl:
Good morning all, I woke up to IRCC refusal letter. I submitted and explained everything. The painful part is that my letter was dated 26th of July and my agent just sent it yesterday. I want to order for my GCMS notes. Can someone kindly direct me on how to do it. Also can I apply for Masters in a different school? Instead of PGD that I previously applied to? Cos it looks like Masters application gets more priority these days. Problem is my CGP isn’t up to 3.0. Are there any school that accept 2.6 after WES evaluation for masters. Guys please I need your help, my head is all over the place and I can’t think straight. Thanks all for your anticipated response.

Yes, Taking a Cyber Security professional certificate course can be a great way to demonstrate a clear career progression from a Chemical Engineering background. Your STEM education and programming skills provide a solid foundation for transitioning into Cyber Security.

Breegz14:
Would taking a Cyber Security professional certificate course help demonstrate a clear career progression from my Chemical Engineering background? Since Chemical Engineering is a STEM course, I already possess some relevant skills, including a semester of Python programming.

Please check the new policy based on changing DLI and program, for applicants inside of Canada if you need an extension or to apply for SP

cherryosa1:
Good day everyone, quick question please, I’m in Canada already and my study permit is suppose to expire by December, but I got into my main program now, and co-op letter was attached to my program, the question is; can I send my new admission letter and the co-op letter to IRCC through webform for it to be updated, or should I just apply for a study permit extension with this new admission letter and co-op letter now, even though my permit will expire December and I need to extend by November?

Yes, if you have the biometric letter get your application number and UCI number.

Neche207:
Guys please can I send ircc webform by myself, even thou it’s my agent that submitted my application

Please get on the plane to the US, you might not know what is over here for you until you get in, you can reach out to professors right there instead of sending emails. Don't keep wasting your chances. You are one lucky fellow.

anamo:
Good evening yall . I was supposed to be travelling this Fall after obtaining my F-1 visa since April. Unfortunately, the fund I was supposed to be working with was withdrawn from my PI. I could no longer proceed as I don’t want to go and constitute nuisance in the US (I don’t have money to sponsor myself). Note that this is my second time of not being able to use an F-1 visa as I couldn’t use the first one issued in January cuz I was sick and hospitalized completely.

I just want an honest opinion as I’m about to give up completely on US Schools...how do you all feel about this? I wish to apply for another admission and proceed to get a new visa..do you think the VO will think I’m not serious? What do you feel about this? If you were the VO, will you take this kind of person seriously?

Hello,
1. You don't need to complete your NYSC before applying for MSc in the US.
2. Yes, you might get admission into an institution, but you might have challenges during the visa interview because there is no career progression. You don't have relevant experience in cyber security or a degree in computer science.

Breegz14:
Good day, everyone. I'm a recent graduate of Chemical Engineering looking to apply for an MSc in Cyber Security.
1. Do I need to complete NYSC before applying for my master's?
2. Is it possible to gain admission to a Cyber Security master's program given that my bachelor's degree is in Chemical Engineering?

Okay is it a joint company or a sole proprietorship

Maria345:
My brother’s friend where I did internship for one year
Then we decided we can use that to say he decided to sponsor my one year school
My sop was very good, my access bank statement was very visible to the blind
I also stated and proofed the lump sums sent from the company to me
Also the school fees was 18,900 cad and I paid in full I don’t know why they said partial payment detected
I wrote an email to the school one time I got a new admission letter stating my school fees was 19,900 cad and they said I should discard the information
I now got an email from the same school sending me a final invoice weeks after I’ve submitted my

who own the company?

Maria345:
I proofed the source of funds stated very clearly in my sop that the company was sponsoring me plus affidavit and all. The company sent the 23 million four times plus payed my schoolfees

you don't need to cancel it just go ahead with the work application.

Noblesunny:
Good day house please I want to ask if it’s necessary to council ongoing visiting visa application first for it not to jeopardized the chances of getting work visa?

there is some a question you might have miss out do it again

labasulla:
People of God, please I tried to get into the pool, but I was told I am eligible, I calculated the CRS before starting I had 428
please what should I do?

Getting someone you know where to look out.

baxton25:
Thanks!

The problem for me now is getting a legit agent. I saw I need a medical insurance, how do I get that?

And lastly, is there a hack around POF? If you could borrow it, and how much minimum?

Was there an error in your SOA, because the VO pointed out a mistake and formating of the SOA? You didn't proof the source of the funds you have in your account. That is a major problem.

Maria345:
Please help a sister, I got a refusal last month, June 2024. Below is my gcms note. I had 23 million naira in my account. The access bank statement was very visible and I stated I was only staying for one year as the course was a year cours

Okay, this is a good financial plan. Explain all these in your SOP and LOE.

Jimin95:
Thank you. How do I provide a clear and credible financial plan for my studies. Note, it's an undergraduate degree for 5 years.

I intend to put money in a gic account and then pay my full tuition for one year. Then, also have my mom send me some money via gift of deed to beef it up.

How do I present this in my SOP under POF?

If you are seeking for Full funding consider applying for PhD, although there are full funding available for MSc program.

eyitoayomi:

Congratulations on your admission.
Getting a study appointment for Poland is indeed difficult if you can't get it yourself you can outsource it to someone who can and be careful with the source you might use.

baxton25:
Good morning people, I got admission to WSB, I've initiated payment for my tuition fee, but I'm hearing appointment is the hardest thing to get now.

1) you can't get it by yourself.
2) To get it through agent you have to pay 700/900k.

Does anybody know why? Is this enabled by the Polish Embassy, why can't student set dates for themselves, like the UK, US and others?

Here is the link you requested for: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=Nairobi

tracy0803409:
Goodevening House, please what link can I use to send a webform to IRCC, Please

No, it is not advisable, what about if the VO requests for an updated SOA, what will you do? you should consider leaving the funds till you make a decision.

Devasia:
Good morning everyone,
Please after I have submitted my application for study permit can I start using the money in my account for my business or I have to leave it like that in my account till ircc makes a decision?

While having funds in your sponsors' accounts (such as your mother and brother) is acceptable, it is crucial to present a clear and credible financial support plan. It's better if a significant portion of the required funds is in your bank account. This demonstrates that you have direct access to the money you need for your studies and living expenses. If your mother and brother are providing financial support, consider transferring the necessary funds to your account before applying. This can reduce any doubts the visa officer might have about the availability and accessibility of the funds.

Jimin95:
Hi everyone,

First time applicant. First year POF needed was 34k CAD. I had 41k CAD broken into my mom and brothers accounts. 22k USD for my brother and 11M for my mom.

I was denied for funds.

Please, I need some help. My resumption date is this August.

That is not true, speaking both official languages is a great advantage I will advise you to learn French.

Guruindahouse:
People in Canada, I need to hear your view directly, pls.

Is it true that learning French to some extent is a waste of time while planning relocation?

Yes, you can change your program and institution when reapplying.

Peaceful004:
I have a question 🙏. Can someone change their course of study when reapplying for study visa after a denial? A friend just got denied, we re thinking of her applying to a different school and course with less tuition so she can pay the full tuition before the second application.

Also, which website is faster to get gcms.note . Thanks

1. Yes, she need to state all previous refusal
2. You need to calculate if that amount will be sufficient for her temporary stay, from my estimate, she will be 90kCAD. Check it from your end. She will have to explain with a document that her investment was liquidated since the money will enter her account as a lump sum within a short period of time, even if they decide to deposit it in installments.
3. Yes, she can print her statement and attach the initial FD certificate/document she used with the liquidation certificate or any relevant document to show the funds were liquidated.
4. No, she won't be needing another medical report it is valid for 1 year.

Bensticks1:
Thanks for your valuable responses. She has completed the new application and made necessary explanations attaching every necessary documents except the PoF side. She has also gotten a two weeks resumption extension from the school. Now the questions;

1. Does she need to explain on her SOP that she was denied visa, why she was denied it and what she has done differently?
2. She initially used fixed deposit investment certificate which was for N45m along with her N27m in a commercial bank. She has now liquidated the FD and the money will drop into her same commercial bank account on Monday. Is this total amount (N72m) enough for her two year course which costs CAD24k? Depending on the response for this, she has her car on standby for immediate sale. She will get N8m from that. Her school does not allow school fees payment before study permit issuance.
3. Can she print the statement on Tuesday and use the FD certificate/car sale agreement to explain the recent lump sums?
4. Would she be needing to do a new medicals or she can use the one she did for the previous application (done on July 1, 2024).
Thank you for your contributions.

Yes, you can reapply also consider deferring your admission to Jan and more importantly work on your application, so you won't make the same mistake.

Bensticks1:
Hello Everyone

I need the gurus in the house here for their opinions.

Is it too late to reapply for a denied application for which the MSc resumes August 26, 2024?. Niagara University, Ontario.

The application was denied yesterday for inadequate funding.

Valuable contributions would appreciate and this is for a friend
