No, I didn't because I didn't even know much about the purpose of GCMS notes until this month. But since the refusal last yr was given as insufficient funds to pay tuition and living expenses, this year I have ensure I paid my full 1yr tuition 13,600 CAD upfront, saved additional 20K CAD in account through salary savings and my personal car sale and also got a total of 18K CAD (9K annually) university funding. Fortunately, the second yr tuition is a very small mount of just 4,300 CAD. So my current total funds of 51K should cover the entire 2yr program. But my current confusion is about whether to use NSE again or regular application through printed bank statements.

I think I read back on this thread that NSE no longer works and you have to go the regular route.

Engr2016:
Thanks bro. Last year, I used MyBanKStatement and submitted upfront Medicals and IELTS result in my Study Permit application. This caused my application to be treated very fast within a month through Nigerian Study Express (NSE) but it was refused on the ground of insufficient funds despite having a combimed personal funds and scholarhip of 31K. However, It was just this month I realisedt the mistake I made last year becos the NSE requirements is a minimum of 30K CAD in ones bank account. But this year, I have fully paid my full tuition fees of 13,600CAD upfront. I also have about 20K CAD in my account and extra yearly 9K scholarhip funding. This brings my current financial cover to about 51K CAD. Am I now qualified to apply through the NSE considering my peculiar situation or is it only for those with 30K in account but who hasn't paid tuition fees? This why I am considering the regular application with printed bank statements. Please anyone with experience on this should advise me.

I don't know much about NSE. Did you order your GCMS notes to know the actual reason you were refused?

Thanks for your response and help
Are there any emails address to send mail concerning application that has passed processing time too
Please share if any

Depends on the office working on your application, if it's Nairobi - Nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca

You will know the office handling your application from the automated response you receive after sending a webform.

Procument managaer’
Diploma course on business admin’

Thanks for the reply’

You may want to find PGD courses with Business Administration (Supply Chain Management) or just Supply Chain Management courses. Don't know if IRCC put much significance on Diplomas especially for a uni graduate. Maybe other experts can contribute to this.

Engr2016:
Greetings to everyone. Please I just want this clarification from anyone who just got his/her study permit approved. Are printed bank statements still allowed in the applications or is it only MyBankStatement that has a login code that is only allowed by the IRCC? Thank you.

To save space and for authenticity, you should use MBS. But you can still upload the full bank statements.

My tuition is 29,000 for 18 months (as indicated in my LOA)
Estimated Living Expenses Per Annum: $10,000 (as indicated in my LOA)
Estimated Health Care Fees: $950 (as indicated in my LOA)

Please its 18Million Naira inadequate for POF?
because my application was denied last week based on assets and finance.

Though, I've requested for GCMS Note to be ready within 30 days.

Total tuition: 29KCAD
Living Expenses 2 Years: 30KCAD
Health Care (2 Years): 2KCAD
Misc: 4KCAD
Total: 65KCAD = 22.2M

3662AA:
Hi, quick question about POF.

I am applying for a relative to come study, she will live with me however here are some of the facts.

2 year diploma
Year one fees: 21,000
Year 2 fees: 22,000

I had reserved a total of 40,000 CAD as the sponsor, because I ASSUMED we only needed to show funds for living expenses plus first year tuition.

From this group, I am now rethinking that we may need to show two years tuition plus two years living expenses.

Can anyone help me clarify?

Based off what I have read here:
Self-sponsor - show tuition and living expenses for total duration of study
Using a Sponsor: You can show for first year, but with irrefutable proof of liquid source of income for sponsor, such that the sponsor is able to cater for the dependent without issues.

wasiubello:
Please house i need your help and clarification on this. Is it advisable to use 3 bank statement as proof of funds?

Infact, what should be the duration of the Statement of account to use

Yes you can use more than 3 if they belong to you.
Ideal duration is 4 - 6 months.

JoyOluwakunmi:
Hello,
I got admission into Conestoga for Sept 2023. I've registered with CIBC bank for GIC purpose and I've been sent instruction for transferring the money to them.
Please, how do I make this transfer because the deadline for this transfer is next week Monday. Also, I don't have a dollar account. Please what do I do?

Thanks in advance.

If you want it fast, get a dollar account, load $$ from black market. Initiate a wire transfer from your bank to CIBC and pay charges.

3662AA:
This would be spamming

I am basing my response off of other people's experiences / testimonies on this thread. If the processing time has passed especially by more than 2-3 months, raise enough webforms to know what the problem is.

@Olugbemi1

Don't listen to this . Go to IRCC directly and you can get it through ATIP for $5.

Do ATIP if you want. And use the link I provided if you want. Both work but I cannot say about the duration for ATIP. I personally have used the link I provided twice for my two refusals, and I received notes in exactly 30 days. I have someone who did his via ATIP and the 30 day period don pass, nothing yet.

I don't own the website, and you shouldn't deny people who can afford it a less stressful means to get their notes.

Good luck to everyone!

freshStarz:
Hello dear
My own case is that I graduated with a second class lower. can it qualify me for a post graduate program. I got a 3.39 as my undergraduate CGPA

Yes, you can get admission into PGD with second class lower. Many third class have gotten admission too. Just make sure you fulfill the requirements of the course.

XtraordinaryGen:
How can someone do this?

Cos I'm in same situation.
Did upfront medicals before applying and uploaded the slip during my application on 31st March. Only to receive a medical request on my dashboard again on 13th April.

I've been sending webforms since a week now uploading my medicals, but it's still not yet updated.

Can you direct us on how to send specific webform to Nairobi?

Please whats the link to apply for GCMS and is it free?

Hi Guys. Was anyone able to merge their IMM 1294 (application for study permit made outside of Canada) with their acceptance form? I saw in the form that it should be uploaded with acceptance letter. However while trying to merge the files using I love my pdf, I got a prompt that it can't be processed because the file is damaged or corrupted.
So, how do I go about it?

IMM forms should not be merged. There is a separate field to upload LOA.

akinloluazeez:
Application Refused after 3 weeks. What next can be done guys pls

Order GCMS notes to understand the concerns of the VO. Then tackle the concerns and reapply.

zeb04:
After uploading your forms, where is the submit button oh…. Cant seem to find it pls

They require your medical sheet. Meaning you have indicated that you did an upfront medical.

zeb04:
Advise Pls,

I get an error message when i try to upload my IMM5257 schedule 1 form. the form has been validated and there is no correction needed to be done.

What can i do?

If you merge, I doubt it will go. There are some embedded security fingerprints on the forms, which IRCC will validate during upload. Just fill the ones the space would contain, and add your resume to the Client_Info form.

Nobody:

Me: Reading my SOP and LOE every night after applying.

d2nn:
What could cause delay on IRCC part? I did biometric on 27th of January, till this very moment no update from them.
It over 2 months already, soon gonna clock 10weeks!

Please house is this something to worry about? Seeing others getting approval within 2 weeks or so.
A friend we submitted together got his PPR 2 weeks ago.

It’s really draining to wait so long for response.
I’ve sent webform twice. 😔

More like 3 webforms per day.

Youthmaster1:
. Lol you’re worry about 2 month ?, I submitted since October 31st 2022 and there’s no update till now , just keep praying Br, we will receive good news by God’s Grace

Send webforms back to back!

Aibeecee1:
I wrote a letter addressing all the concerns in the refusal letter and re-applied but full 1 year tuition fee was paid. I re-packaged using advice on this forum and submitted. The application is for my sibling but I was the sponsor and I packaged on their behalf. I also used nairaland back in 2014 for my student application.
My sibling has not had a job in Nigeria since 2016 and is in their 40’s. With God, all things are possible.

Thank you for your response. Can you help with how you tackled the "assets and financial situation..."?

Aibeecee1:
Ppr alert!!!
First application March 8, refused March 20
Second application application March 25, ppr March 31. God is awesome!! Wishing everyone luck.

Congratulations! Could you please share your timeline. What did you do when you re-applied?

Regarding if tax clearance is compulsory or not. Can anyone substantiate for self-sponsored applications?

Bobomaigida:
It is your company, you decide what should be on the payslips. Just let is have your salaries (and tax paid on the salaries) and allowances if any.

It's that tax gangan I'm trying to get. Doing an assessment for the past 3 years will incur payments of up to 1.4M. So trying to understand if it's a must to clear that tax, or I can submit just an income balance sheet, as I have just prepared that.
