@JDB55,

You can request for a reference letter through any of the bank branches irrespective of where your account is domiciled.

I hope this helps

JDB55:
Good morning guys, please how do i go about getting a reference letter from the banks i have accounts with? Also, must it be the branch where i opened the account or just any branch. thank you

@Charitojames @Johnstan @Pace6 @Thomsyne

@Chechem,

Segment your documents properly and merge in each section before you upload.

You can use Webform to upload additional documents.

You can do you upfront medicals when u come for your biometrics.

I hope this helps.

Chechem:
Please house,
I am using the old Portal to apply, in those sections where I am to upload multiple files, am I to upload the documents individually or merge all the document pertaining to a section into one file and upload once?

Also, I read that one can nolonger use webform to upload documents anymore. I have already planned on doing my upfront medicals when I go for biometrics, then upload afterwards. Please, how do I do this, because I stay in the East, going to Abuja or Lagos twice without having anyone there will be expensive for me, couple with the security challenges.

@miimssss,

Zenith will answer you faster though with certain terms and conditions.you can come to my DM

I hope this helps

miimssss:
Does anyone have an idea??
Please help

@Ishola2002,

You can use ilovepdf

Ishola2002:
Pls what can I use to merge my supporting documents to a single file of not more than 2mb?

@ Awesomegod2023,

The possibility of getting your application approved is VERY HIGH.Be hopeful and still pray for perfection and God's Grace.

I can't wait to have u share your timeline here very soon.

Awesomegod2023:
My nL people, please come to my aid I got a medical request from ircc what’s the high chance of getting approved after medicals.

@Chechem,

The new Portal takes 2MB documents in each of the sections while GCkey takes 4MB

Whereas the GCKEY can take multiple applications (family) at same time the new portal do not.

I hope this helps

Chechem:
Thanks alot but why do you advise so?

@DejiiiiiiB,

The very best is all I wish you.

DejiiiiB:
Good morning guys

My application is now 8 months now as of today

Have sent several mails to IRCC and also through webform for months, but still nothing yet.

I already order GMCS Notes, but still yet to get it

I sent a mail to an MP and he just responded yesterday with a mail then he copied the Minister of IRCC.

I just hope this trigger them to attend to my application and give me a positive feedback asap

@ gentleluv,

I don't think it will be a difficult one if you have used part of the fund to part pay your Tuition fees.All you need is to send copy of deposit acknowledgement fro your school together with your updated POF document.

I hope this helps.

gentleluv:
Hello house, some one should pls advise me how to go about this ircc requested for updated proof of funds and I have actually removed 70% and am giving a week to upload the updated proof of funds. Pls how can I go about it your opinion is highly welcome.

Let me mention that few documents were illegible after compressing so to avoid that, I had to divide and sent the most important one with the application, then others I sent through webform.

@ Favourme84,
The best at this point is relative.for those who have deep pocket and needs more comfort. You should be looking at airlines like KLM , British, Air france,Qatar and Lufthansa with single stopover.

And then Ethiopian and Egypt air for cheaper tickets.

Ensure you have at least 3hours layover at your POE because of the usual long queue to avoid missing your final flight to your destination.

I hope this helps

Favourme84:
Good evening house,

which airline is the best and shorter to travel to Canada?

@gaeul,
Countries and bank branches are not well featured.I don't think it's glitches cos it's been like that for months now.

What are important most is your beneficiary details and your personal details

I hope this helps.

gaeul:
Who else is experiencing glitches with Form A. Countries end in B...see attached

@ Enddystar,

No Agent,Immigration Lawyer/Consultant, MP,Senator can guarantee CANADIAN VISA but God and His Grace behind whoever He pleases.

We have always advised applicants to dig out procedures and processes involved in this journey on this noble platform even if you choose to engage one, atleast you should be able to know certain basic stuffs required. It's very obvious that it's not about how deep applicant's pocket is or volume of funds in sponsor's account that matters.

Incidentally, we claim to be very busy and eventually end up coming back to Lament on this platform.

Let your friend request for CBSA or GCMS notes or even both (since its not expensive to order) immediately and TACTICALLY tackle areas of VOs concerns

The best is all I wish everyone on board.

Enddystar:
A friend just received this hot breakfast today.

She submitted her application by herself and now regretting why she didn't opt in for an agent.

She said she called an agent afterwards who told her to pay N1m to help her get approval.

Dear house, kindly advise

@Chemchem,

Either GCkey account or new portal is okay though I will advice you use GCkey if you are married.

I hope this helps

Chechem:
Please house, in sending my application, can I use the new oral alone do I have to open a GCkey account too?

@Creamz,

IRCC hardly respond to webform/documents sent to them except the first time ever (one-off) in a single application.However, they work on those document either immediately or after couple of days/weeks as the case may be

I will encourage you to keep sending them mails continuously hence your application is past 12 weeks.

I hope this helps.

Creamz:
Thanks a lot. My processing time has already passed the 12 weeks processing time, this is about the 13th week. How long does it take for some to get responses from them if webforms are sent? Thanks

@Moremore99,

There's no gurrantee for PPR when they request for your proof of accommodation....which is usually rare.

What this implies is that they want to be sure your POF is enough (accommodation inclusive) during your stay.

It also implies you may have informed IRCC through your SOP that you have addressed your living expense or accommodation that warranted request for proof.

Please respond TACTICALLY and within the time allowed.

Wishing you all the best.

Moremore99:
I am a silent reader IRCC requested for 1 year proof of accommodation . What should I do is the PPR guaranteed want to know before i source for the funds to pay please advice.

@Omosikiru1992,

It's not compulsory but make sure you have your LOA/receipts of Tuition fee deposit (incase you're asked at the POE)

I hope this helps

Omosikiru1992:
Hi my people.
Please I would like to know if it's compulsory to have an enrollment letter from my University before I can be allowed to enter Canada point of entry.

@Aduragbemioluwa,

Each of this notes is less than 5,500NGN from thegcmsonline.com.you can order and pay using your Naira debit card.

I hope this helps.

Aduragbemioluwa:
Thank you for your response I really appreciate it. I presume you order your notes from gcmsnotes. Please how much did you order for your CBSA and GCMS note. I mean the naira equivalent

@ THRUTHaDDICTED,
You need to go back to the Page 1 of this thread and the previous thread to under stand basic things you need to know about this journey after which you can ask direct questions for responses.

I hope this helps

TRUTHaDDICTED:
Please I've seen it but I don't know if you have the knowledge about my few questions.

Is it still active at the moment?

When someone is nominated, does it mean automatic Visa?

How much minimum do I require to secure a Visa?
I have more questions but anyone who can put my understanding through on these ones should please do

@HopefulSuccess,

Just follow the guidelines accordingly fill as it appeared on your data page.

HopefulSuccess:

I hope this helps

Creativebelle:

Thank you

@HopefulSuccess,

YES

HopefulSuccess:
Hi Joedave,
Is CBSA Note as detailed as GCMS and could it also help with review or revisit of one's application just like GCMS notes?
Any other person can assist with the question.

@Dolaqueen,

Steps to uploading/sending webform have been posted here few hours ago.Pls check your network connection.You may want to trim your document down below 1.99MB


Regards

Dolaqueen:
Hello, please can you help? I tried uploading through webform, but the upload isn’t going through, don’t know why, the file is just 1.99mb and the documents I want to submit is merge

@amaka4obiiie,

It's not a difficult one........Parents up followed by children(where you belong)followed by grand children (if any) each standing directly under the children.

Use goggle.

I hope this helps.

amaka4obiiiie:
Hello guys....@johnstan do you guys know anything about building family tree in the SOP? How do I go about it please? Thanks

@ Mamaoseme33,

1.) Eligibility...... your choice of program should align with either your previous degree/academic background (for those who are fresh from school OR your work experience (if you have worked for eg.5 years and above.

2.) Family an Economic ties.......your ability to convince the VOs that you are coming back to 9ja after study given your family ties (Parents/immediate family/siblings), Assets (Landed properties/building), professional ties and associations and good job/ business you will resume after study.Your SOP has to be convincing enough at this point.

3.) Relevance of your program to your medium and long term career. Etc

I hope this helps.

Wishing u nothing but the best

Mamaoseme33:
Good evening house
Pls ooo I have come again ooo

I want to know some of the reasons that causes Canada visa denial? I have POF already but other that can cause visa denial

@Anon123,

On the contrary,

Those living in Nigeria currently can apply either CBSA of GCMS Notes through...www.thegcmsonline.com and pay with their Naira debit card.

I applied both through their site in August and September for GCMS and CBSA respectively and got the notes though CBSA was faster.(34days while GCMS took over 60days)

I hope this helps.

Anon123:
Majority of the persons here are in Nigeria too

A gcms note or CBSA is applied by persons in Canada only. They are referred to as designated representative. Therefore you need someone in Canada to apply on your behalf. If you have family and friends there, you can apply otherwise, I can apply for you.

@ Superyettie,

YES you can request for either by yourself though response time for CBSA is shorter than GCMS in the recent months.

I hope this helps.

Superyettie242:
Hello everyone, I want to ask if I can request for CBSA or GMCS note myself. I’m currently in Nigeria and I applied for my study visa myself.

@gideon19,

It's usually done within 72hours to your journey.

gideon19:
hi all, another quick question pls.

will it make more sense to start processing my transcript via WES while still waiting/searching to get admission just to avoid the unnecessary wait?

@ Thelz,
Webform is better (more tactical) than email if you want to really take charge of your application.You need to sit on their neck.

I hope this helps

Thelz:
This webform of a thing ..can I still send it if am not in charge of my application...I have all the details of it buh can I do just emails?

@Dayo96,

This is SPEED IN CAPITAL LETTERS. I wish you more speed in your journey.Congratulations!!!!
