Hello.

Does IOM accept payment made a day prior to your appointment datehuh??
Simply ensure you have your printed transfer receipt as proof of payment. The date of payment wouldn't be a problem

I disagree with you on that, since they stopped posting has the thread stopped growing? Do you know that people that started this thread more than 12yrs ago are not here anymore but we are in part 22 now.

People are far too lazy to read even a page back for info, they are quick and immediate answer.
I perfectly understand you boss and I'm sure you take your time to monitor this thread if not we wouldn't be here - part 22. 12 years no be beans.

I trust that you're carefully sieving through these accusations and doing the right thing against the defaulters and the false alarm raisers likewise when necessary.

Thankfully we still have genuine people with adequate knowledge helping out here.

I don't know if there are any disclaimers on the kinda comments permitted here, this will prevent further distractions in forms of name calling and offenses that cannot be proved.

Like you said we will not all be here forever and the thread will keep rendering the help it was designed for.

Thank you.

You think they're here because they care about you? This guy sef.... Dem dey promote their businesses and when customers plenty, dem no go fit post here again

Is it that you don't know what your mission is or you need to be reminded that these guys one way or the other have been banned from this thread like @justwise clarified.
They did not need to care before answering the questions that helped me and other applicants here.

Now let me reveal one mission of most fake PPR nd scammers.

1. They will be looking for school groups to join or province groups to join. When you add them or when you introduce them to admin to add them, be aware to face any damage they will cause, cus it will definitely end on how did they join this group.

2. Most of them fraudsters just want to have enough contact of those real ppl travelling, why? they may contact you to help them find house or buy something, one thing lead to the other you'll give them your account number. They will use it to receive funds from one white man they've deceived, they might end up telling u they're not interested anymore that you should refund. When FBI comes you know what's up...

I'm coming
This is not a valid personal experience if you're unable to provide details, it's more of a general trend than an experience.

If these are you observations, you shouldn't have created a new account just to say this, it would have been more believable coming from an account we are used to seeing here.

Keep going we are reading.

I give people credit each time they contribute meaningful materials here. I don't take credit for other people's hard work.

That does not mean that i support their other businesses here infact i hate it when people trying to play smart here while pretending to help.

I know some of them are agents using this thread to promote their work, i got no problem with that as long as they don't advertise it here or use another ID or individuals to advertise here. If you contact them privately and they charge you then that got nothing to do with me.
Thank you for this clarification, sadly Mr eagleeye seems not to get it as he's only looking to call out agents with no apparent reason other than the fact that they are agents.
These guys have been providing useful information here and suddenly they went MIA leaving certain questions without replies. Mr Frank and others rarely assist with answers to questions here and you will agree with me that if questions dont get answered then the thread wouldn't be as useful as expected.

We're talking about Fake PPRs and Fake account marketing here. I know you're an agent too so I'm not surprised
Firstly I'm not an agent.
You've now switched from calling people fraudsters to knowing that PPRs are fake.
We will be waiting for you to point out the fake PPRs and also explain how you figured they were fake.

So many people with knowledge here have seized commenting leaving people here asking questions without getting replies. Maybe we should all vacate the thread so you can take over.

Someone here asked about visitation visa earlier for his spouse and no one had a clear and direct response for him, I'm surprised you didn't answer him so he would not get scammed rather you're here causing distractions.

I don't understand the reason for this, there are household names here, whenever justwise opens a new thread he quotes these names you guys are peddling as alleged fraudsters.

These guys literally started this thread that we are claiming to be part of and they have been helpful.

This is a public platform where anyone has a right to comment and there will always be scammers so long as the internet exists.

If you have a personal experience then share it by all means and be SPECIFIC with the intention to educate and inform others as against looking for who to paint black.

You don't need to hide to speak your truth, you don't need to open new accounts as well, be confident with saying your truth and let others decide who and what to believe, you also do not need to gather attention to speak your truth, simply speak and people will listen.

Lastly there are no kids here as to say we have people to protect against fraudsters, the minute you decide to DM people you don't know for help is the time you set yourself up to be defrauded or assisted.

I am a student of UofT. I am already in Canada. I want my wife to visit me in Canada this christmas. We don't have kids yet.

My question now are

1 Whose IRCC account will be used for the application? Will my wife apply or me?
2 Where will I upload her invitation letter that I wrote
3 How long before they approve the visa?
4. What are the documents that I need?
I may not be able to respond to you on this as I don't have knowledge about visitation visa application or spouse work permit. You might have to wait for someone with the knowledge to advise you or better still you can check on IRCC for details and how to apply as a couple.

Documents to attach would always be on the portal once you select the right application to go for.

Good luck

Hello @Johnstan,

Please I've got a follow up question.

The funds you processed with Form A after your visa application was it removed from the bank account statement you submitted? Or the funds are in a separate account? If so, did you also submit information on that separate account?

Thank you�
It was in a separate account not same.
If you're worried about tampering with your account balance after submitting your application relax, your POF won't be a challenge because you paid your fees, just ensure you have a substantial amount available just in case you're asked for an updated SOA. You're not under obligation to leave your account "transactionless" because you submitted the account for POF.

please can someone do medicals without being sent by visa officers, and how will the iom upload the results to them
Cos from this reply ☝️ I understood one can do medicals without being sent for it

Abeg gurus make una clear this confusion
You have not applied sinceeee Gloria lol?

Yes it's called upfront medicals.
I mean why wait to be told to do that knowing that its a requirement.

The hospitals recognised by IRCC for these tests are few and listed on their site, IOM happens to be one just as QLife is.

Which ever hospital you choose, they will forward your results to IRCC upon completion within 5-10 working days, that's why you did the test in the first place. After the test IOM will print out an e-screeing sheet and hand over to you so you can either attach while applying or send via webform after application as a receipt.

Hope it's clearer now.

Good luck.

Thank you very much for your contribution.

For a Dom account, I will still have to buy black market dollar rate to be deposited in the bank.

based on my inquiry from the bank. Statement of balance will just show the balance in my bank account Since I will be submitting my sponsor's SOA, that's why I intend using the balance statement to show it's meant for my first sem tuition.

I thought they was going to be a proof of transaction from using the form A, but maybe transfer Telex could suffice. Thanks for shipping that in.

But did you pay any deposit before submitting your visa application?

Thanks very much
You got that right for a Dom account.

Your proof of funds duration should be between 4 to 6 months at least - your transactions within this period and your balance at the time of generating the statement will be visible to the vo not just your balance.

Ini dep and balance were after my application, sent the receipts to IRCC via webform and they were acknowledged.

Good evening everyone, I paid 1500cad to secure my sit in conestoga, but I was given till October 11th to pay the balance of 8500cad. I'm paying with form A which i already initiated on the 13th of this month, my bank says form A now takes 5 to 6 weeks, which means I have less than 4 weeks with the dealine my school gave me.
Now my questions;
1.If the bank did not debit me before the dealine, will i forfeit my admission? Even though I already paid the 1500
2.Can I mail my school and ask for 2 weeks extension?
I already submitted my application and my resumption is January 2023.
Please I need answers. Thanks
Your school will best answer this, your initial dep was to secure your seat in the program while the balance dep is simply what you must pay to get access to your timetable and resume classes when it's time.

Don't wait till your deadline to start panicking, send them a mail, let them know you have initiated your payment, let them know of the time frame for disbursement and then get to know what their feedback would be ahead of time.

Good luck.

Hello. Pls does anyone know how to go about the payment of medicals for IOM ( upfront) and the documents to go with

Thanks In Advance
The bank to credit depending on your location will be shown to you either while booking or after booking, can't remember now. Just make a transfer to the IOM account and print your proof of successful transfer like 2 days to your appointment.

The documents you will need for your medicals are-
* Your physical passport not photocopies.
* Your medicals booking confirmation receipt - printed out.
* Your successful transfer receipt printed out.

Unlike biometrics where they attend to you according to your time slot, get to the hospital early cos it's usually First come first serve (they will share several numbers and follow them against the time slot you booked.

Good luck.

Hello Beautiful People

I've gotten some advise on this situation, but I'll like to to know what others think too.

My tuition for a year is 18386, the school requires about 2700 for deposit and LOA, which I have paid, the deadline for first semester tuition is Nov. The black market rate is killing. And Form A takes 6 weeks.
I want to submit visa application next week.

The first semester tuition has been paid into my personal account by my sponsor to avoid my sponsor's SOA been tempered with after submssion.

My resolution is to go ahead with the form A, get the FORM A payment transction proof, get my bank reference letter, and get a statement of balance from my bank to be attached with the visa application.

Please let me know what your thoughts are on this. Resumption is January. Must I compulsoryly find a way to pay into the school account and attach a receipt from the school?
If you're not going to make use of black market rate I.e fund your dom account and use your dom debit card to pay then your other option is form A.

As you already know the form A takes a really long time, however, it shouldn't affect your visa application.

I applied before my form A was approved, I got a notification of receipt of funds from my school in pdf, i sent same to IRCC via webform and they acknowledged receipt after a month.

I don't know what you mean by statement of balance from your bank, there's no form A payment proof except you're referring to the transfer Telex your bank will generate for you - it's like a transfer receipt showing where funds was sent to.

Good luck.

I just got a refusal letter from IRCC.

Applied on July 13th

Medical passed on August 15th
Refusal September 15th

Reasons:

Normal general refusal statement. Not convinced that I would leave Canada after my studies and also insufficient financial reasons.

It's well.
Love your current disposition towards the outcome of your application.

Take a breather, get your gcms notes, differ your admission if possible, counter the refusal reason and refire.

Good day everyone, please I need your advice.
When my application gets approved I'll be traveling by January and school is resuming by January 6th.
Is it possible for me to defer my admission to a later date like September 2023 after getting into Canada, for me to hustle for my tution fee before starting the semester.
I'd really appreciate if I can get any advice on this.
You may need to define what you mean by hustle your tuition fees o.
You can't work until you start classes, that's the rule because your work hours are documented and report sent to immigration. Caught on the wrong side can affect your PGwp.
You're allowed to take leave from studies (I think not more than 150days leave or so) upon approval from your school, now I'm not sure if you can work while on study leave but I do know your leave from study is documented and can be deducted from your PGwp so be careful. In all, you will need to resume classes to be eligible to work.
If you're worried about making enough money to cover your tuition, it can be difficult but from my research online it's possible, it just takes discipline and lots of sacrifice.

1. will this affect my chances of getting my approval early? i uploaded my e-medical sheet online.
2. should i contact IOM to ask if my upfront medicals have been sent ?
IOM will transmit ur results to IRCC within 5 -10 working days so chill. Updating your medicals to passed on your profile takes time, let's not even talk about biometrics. These two were uploaded on mine within 2 months interval, some don't even get the update till their PPR drops.

If you're curious, you can contact IOM and enquire if your results have been sent.

Good day all, please how can someone in Nigeria currently pay for WES online?

Is there any Nigerian bank card that currently allows this?
Or is it a dollar card? God bless
Sadly you will need a USD card for this as naira cards no longer work for international payments. Hurry look for a bank, open a USD account and get a card on it for transactions like this.
Alternatively, if you have someone you trust, send them naira or fund their USD account and use their card.

Good day every one
MY REJECTION CAME YESTERDAY 7 SEPTEMBER 2022
I Applied on June 9
Biometric June 21
Medical upfront 27 July
Medical passed 1 August
Eligibility around 15 August
Yesterday 7 September I got rejection Stating that I don’t have enough sufficient funds and assets to fund my education that I won’t be coming back at the end of my studies
NOTE
My age 18 years old
Statement of account mother
23 million in and out
Current balance 12 million
I also paid tuition of 9,000$ which is about 3 million Yesterday I felt like killing my self I was asking if God has forsaken me because these past month I prayed like my live was on it I fasted countless time
Another LESSON I LAENT
when I was applying people was telling me that I will get my visa because I am still young and 18 yrs I just finished secondary school last year
My dear people that all lie as long as wCanada is concerned age is rubbish if you like be 100 yrs


Guys please advise me I am frustrated and depressed even my mum is very mad now
Because she warned me not to apply for Canada but I insisted
I don’t know what to go
One of my mind is telling me to just drink snipper and die
Please if you have any advice call me
08037390922
O
I remember you Collins and your optimisim.

When I wanted to apply I stumbled on this thread on part 20, dropped my first comment on how nervous I was on part 21 and someone replied advising me to relax and put in my best towards my app, in his words [/b]the worst that would happen is rejection[b], it somehow eased the tension and I applied - still waiting for the final decision.

What am I trying to say, a rejection is not the end, it simply is an opportunity to retry, apply for your gcms notes, check for the detailed reason for rejection, gather more/better documents, write a better SOP and refire. The fact that some people got it on their first attempt doesn't mean you don't deserve same, it's just how life is, welcome to the real world bro.

You're only 18 bro, forget packaging and the English on this thread a great number of people here are 30 and above and some with families striving for a better future on the other side, I'm not trying to berate you for being young, However, see this as a great advantage and pull your self together. At 18 some people here were still struggling let alone have the means to apply to leave this country, here you are with the means to do that and all.

Now back to the vague reason for rejection, home ties and financies is not a joke when it comes to applying to Canada, you have to demonstrate to the best of your abilities that you can financially support your self and that you will return at the end of your studies irrespective of your age. Your home ties may not be much considering your age and the fact that you just finished high school as per (you don't have personal achievements in terms of assets to ensure you return), however, you can use your immediate family, parents business (if you are eventually going to be part of it etc), plans after studies etc to buttress this part.
Your finances is dependent on your duration of studies and living expenses, some people have the means to demonstrate they are able to cover both throughout the duration of their studies and beyond, some just have for the exact duration and still get approved irrespective of the minimum requirement on IRCC. Which ever is the case the idea is to show you have access to these funds and not just that you have them.

Finally don't drink sniper pls, that thing is mad expensive sef and people still afford to buy it lol - on a lighter note. Don't be discouraged, some people here got theirs after 2, 3, 4 even 5 attempts, don't let it weigh you down, see it as part of your success story (there's a reason why it's a story). Alternatively, you can try other countries if Canada is not your sole choice for Japa.

Before I forget, you can defer your admission to a later intake and re-apply, you never know if the second attempt would be it, someone here re-applied with same documents no alterations and got approved, it makes you wonder what went wrong the first time, however, if you don't wish to re-apply, you can withdraw and apply for refund of your fees.

Good luck bro.
