Hello gurus, I applied for study visa and visitor visa for my son on Sept 2 2022, my sons upfront medical got updated next day, while mine says no medical is needed, my biometric also updated, but I checked exactly a month after and nothing changed, is there a need to fret? Do I need to start sending mails to VO?background a d eligibility hasn't started, am a bit worried

MyVc:
Please, can one apply for M.Sc Data Science at Memorial University Newfoundland, Canada without having IELTS?



Thanks.

Gores:
How come the second application was fast is it because it’s Znd application. August 5th is still waiting without eligibility started sef . No update only biometrics shows completed. Did you use the new portal or old portal.

It seems the old portal is faster can people who got ppr share which portal they use on their timeline

cooooooks:
Oboy, what and what did you write in a 9 page SOP??

Congratulations my bro.

olokings:
you see, i may be wrong, but you are not supposed to touch a financial bank statement mostly when you tendering same as evidence. You can quote / reference page, line, etc and give clarification. However, i think using adobe to highlight, comment, or affixt notes in the financial statements invalidates it eligibility. that is walking a super thin line if you ask me. I may be going overboard. But come to think of it, if you can highlight financial statements with adobe app, who says you haven't changed figures there in? The VO may not totally red flag it, but you are causing your submissions to be subjected to more scrutiny and validity checks, which you don't need.

I think that is the reason why MBS are directly transmitted to the embassies. The VOs are trained to review and analyse bank statements, hence simply referencing it in your SOP or LOE is enough to guide them to the transaction you are trying to clarify without altering the financial documents.

Friends and family..........MY PPR HAS LANDED THIS MORNING OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I'M COMING WITH MY TIMELINE SOON.

ebaymaestroo:
Hello Everyone.
Please I have concerns about a proof of funds aspect I'd like to clarify.

I am currently working on my bank balance and I have placed a significant amount on Lien. If I generate my bank statement, I always see it as part of my balance but if I check my bank app, the amount is not part of the balance, which is okay by me.

Now I heard that if I do not release the account from lien and I generate MBS to the embassy, that Amount I placed on Lien would also not show in my statement that the VO would have access to. That if I want to do it that way, the best is for me to print and submit the bank statement instead of using MBS.


Please I would like to ask and seek counsel on the best approach towards an issue like this, because someone said I should still use MBS, that there is no problem. Anothe rperson said I should print bank statement and not attempt to use MBS.

Thanks

@Justwise and other guru's who have the experience to answer this question

I applied for a one year master's program in Canada at MUN. Now I have deferred my admission to next intake which is September 2023. Also I have sent a webform for the updated admission letter via webform.
If the VISA application is approved this month what is the implication to this since I will resuming next September.

I will appreciated if this is answered with well detailed explanation.

Regards.

• [color=#990000][font=Lucida Sans Unicode]Issue: spouse paid applicant’s tuition deposit. This does not demonstrate commitment from supposed sponsor as presented by applicant.
• Agent should have advised applicant against submitted visa package with this profile. This goes to buttress the point that majority of agent out there are mostly not committed to applicants success, as it is simply business for them. Collect deposits, and leave you to your luck.
• Furthermore, inattentive agents may miss little loop holes and grey areas in you application which if you reviewed your submission yourself with enough information, you would have spotted and rectified.

Recommendation:
• The application can be repackaged and submitted with opportunity for success if issues are clearly addressed in the future.
• Sponsor should have paid initial study deposit (at least 1 session or 2 semesters) to demonstrate commitment and transfer Cost of Living Expense to applicants account. Another strategy is, sponsor transfers tuition to applicants account and payment is made by self with receipted evidences.
• Submit evidence to support relationship between applicant and sponsor as well as previous instance of support / obligations between sponsor and applicant
• Address any lump sums in sponsors account to demonstrate source of funds

Caveat: ayam not an agent, nor guru, nor SOP writter / reviewer. I simply evaluated the applicant's profile and strategy for success.
If you engage me privately, i will still summarise our discuss and bring it out here for learning opportunities. we must boost our PPR success rate and success factors should be open source information.
