No vex lol. I want to weigh all options before I apply somewhere. I would most likely involve services of an agent. Thanks anyway

My dear, you are in the right platform to learn and be guided from stage 1 to the last of securing TRV, so you don't need an agent if you can patiently read through the thread from part 14 and harken diligently to do as advised here, I can assure you that you will scale through successful and even be in a position to guide other newbies. But at the end, it's still your choice to make.

abusmanlouis:
I don't think is important to indicate it on SOP. North America countries doesn't share visa information unless on a criminal cases.

Now I know better, thanks

bukonlami:
Hello guys

Please I want to ask.if it is advisable to mention previous Visa denials,like a US visa denial in my SOP .
Thanks

Yes, it's very important, non disclosure of any past visa denial by whatever country can land you a visa ban. Please disclose any visa denial in your SOP/LOE.

Good morning house,
Please I want to ask a question, I have being curious to know if Ghana visa office still process visa application from Nigeria at all. It has been a while since I hear anyone with a correspondence letter stating Ghana visa office.
All we hear is either Kenya, London, or Lagos.
Please has anyone noticed it?

akom0908:
hello here,pls i wish to go for my masters in canada,pls is it compulsory my sponsor have my surname.

No

Mudicua:
Good morning everyone.
May this new week bring favor to all TRV hopefuls.
May those who have had their PPR get their passports soon to enable them travel.
May those already in Canada find favor in their pursuits (school, housing, feeding, etc)
May God help us all.
And may the Universe be kind to us all.

Amen!!!

Y'all have a great week.

Remember it shall all end in praise.

Amen & Amen!

kanzjude:
Please guys...Just a quick one. Can I use someone who is a Canadian citizen as my sponsor? The person is willing to send sponsorship letter. If so, what other documents should the person send? Thanks in anticipation guys.

Beside sponsorship letter, the person should also send you his statement of account showing sufficient amount to cover for your first year tuition and living expense, data page of his international passport, evidence of legal status in Canada, and a proof of your relationship with him/her.

sillysassysally:
Thank you for the kind words!
I'll include the ratio of approval to denial but i hope it doesn't freak people out... For the second suggestion, there is already a ratio that tracks average time between medicals passed (both upfront and requested) and PPR...

Thanks for the suggestions...

Sally, you are really doing a great job here and we very much appreciate you. I personally have learnt a lot from the informations you always put out here, God will bless you as you keep up the good work.

yinkansola:
Good evening guys.... am about applying for my study permit and my sponsor which happens to be my dad has two accounts,will I have to tender both statements of accounts since there is money in both accounts
Secondly I applied for a post graduate program which fee is around 16,000cad, the school asked me to pay my first semester fee which am about to pay,so my sponsor's account will be left with 3million,will that enough to tender?

If after paying your first semester fee and what's left in your sponsor's account is 3million naira, then that would not be enough and could land you a refusal. VO will want to see amount sufficient enough to cover for the remaining semester fee that make up your first year of study and $10,000cad to take care of your first year living expense and still leave enough balance for your sponsor to carter for himself and any other dependant.
I will advice you work on the account to improve the balance or better still get a co sponsor related to you.

I need help o

I applied March 20th,
Biometrics March 22nd,

BCM 14th may
Refusal correspondence 17th may

Refusal based on purpose of visit
...I feel shattered. .
.
please what's the next line to follow
How do I address this purpose of visit stuff
And get my GCMS notes

Is the course you are going for in progression with your previous academic qualification or career? VO will need to see the correlation between them.
Which course did you got accepted for?
What is your previous academic qualification?
What is your career line?

ghabrhiel10:
Men these agent guys are just ruthless, I just left qlife now and there's this guy that sat beside me for medicals, no medical form, the agent just said he should go for medicals. According to him, the agent said he submitted his application since May 2018 ND I'm like Wah!!!!. The one that off me was when I asked if he has done his biometrics. He said no Why are agents like this. The agent even held the passport since last year, saying it has been with the embassy and he took it from them yesterday and gave this guy to come for the medicals today (the agent said he knows someone at the embassy). How will somebody comfortably waste 1yr if another person life, this is so wicked. I've introduced the guy to this forum tho, and advised him to get that sole called wicked agent locked. Pls gurus, let's continue with the good work here, God will surely repay us well. I felt for this guy cos I know wetin agent do me sef

Well done, you did the right thing, God will save all future applicants from the hands of such wicked Agent.

PASSPORT REQUEST!!!!!! CHAI!!!!!! 8 freaking months of waiting.... Finally I can breath well...Wat a wait!!!

Congratulation!!! Finally the reward for your waiting is here, am really happy for you.

Omonoba1981:
I finally got request for my passport after 8months. But , not sure why they have requested. I though have a valid TRV (visitor visa) they would need to request for my passport.

Wow!!! Congratulations, 8 months is not 8 weeks man, your patience is rewarded finally.

wealthmiq:
property valuation or CofO which would serve as a stronger home tie?
PS. I submitted the deed or transfer and survey papers the first time and still got home ties issue.

Do you have close family member such wife & kids? Are they staying back in nigeria? If yes, then also emphasis this on your SOP with evidence, it will help take care of your home tie issue.

My sister/brother/ friend paid the 500$...I guess it's a new process in U of R.....my sis got accepted in health, my brother business administration and my friend masters in French language they were all accepted in April. When was your friend accepted in U of R?

The person is on this platform as well, she was accepted in February.

@kocasm....I understand, will it affect my study permit application at the Canadian Embassy if i don't include my Deposit receipt when i submit all my documents? Because a lot of people don't even do a deposit and they still get their TRV. Keen to hear from you. Thanks

I understand your fear of losing $500cad if you fail to secure TRV, but university of Regina admission offer usually last for one year and so is the validity of the nonrefundable deposit, so even if you didn't get ur TRV at the first attempt (God forbid), u can always reapply again and again within the one year admission offer period until u succeed, all u need to do is to defer the admission base on visa delay.

thanks for replying What is a SOA?

Some schools or department/faculty may not request for that, as such the applicant don't need to pay or include deposit receipt in their TRV application. If the nonrefundable deposit is stated on your offer letter which you meant to include in your visa application documents, the VO might be expecting to see a receipt from the school for that payment. However, if you want to take the risk of submitting visa application without making the compulsory nonrefundable deposit to the school is up to you to decide.

mslug:
Hello,

I have been accepted into humber for a one year certificate course.

My problem now is my proof of funds, I am currently employed but dont have the tuition 10k + 10k(survival funds) =20k saved up and I was thinking about a personal loan, I cant get educational because I'm not doing a degree)

I have two options:

1.Apply for the loan myself at the bank and have my brother cosign.(he will pay the monthly installments for me), maybe he can write a letter for immigration stating that he shall pay the installments until i return from my studies)

2. have my brother take the loan and then transfer + gift deed it to me.

my brother has less than 10k in his savings and like me doesnt have assets so the loan is my only option.

Thanks.

Why not get a sponsor or co sponsor with a strong SOA.

Accepted - Next Steps

Congratulations! UR Accepted!
Let us help you get prepared to come to Regina!
We know that you have lots of questions on what to do now that you are accepted. Please see the information below:
Step 1 - Pay Deposit
Step 2 - Prepare Your Immigration Documents
Step 3 - Find Housing
Step 4 - Register for Classes
Step 5 - Arrive in Regina
Step 6 - Register for Orientation



Pay Deposit
International students on a study permit are required to pay a $500 tuition deposit upon acceptance of admission. The terms of the deposit include:

Class registration cannot proceed for new students who have been offered admission until payment of the deposit is received.
The deposit may be transferred between terms for the period the admission offer is valid.
100% of the tuition deposit is applied toward tuition and fees.
The deposit is non-refundable.

There are 3 ways you can pay:

Credit Card (email the card number, expiry date and Security code to international.admissions@uregina.ca)
Flywire (if you do not have a credit card you can transfer funds to us HERE)
Cash (come to our office (College West Room 127 to pay)

Paying the nonrefundable deposit is a risk you would have to take considering the bigger thing you will achieve if everything goes well with ur TRV application. Most schools request for this deposit, some even request as high as $2,000cad tuition deposit (with good refund policy though). Again I think it's probably because u applied for a business course, because like I said earlier someone got offer in pub admin in the same school without request for a deposit.

johnsonlawson89:
This is what is in the offer letter @kcosam


Dear Johnson:

Congratulations! The International Enrolment Services Office is pleased to inform you that you have gained admission to the University of Regina. This letter is for submission for your study permit; please ensure to keep a copy for your records. International students on a study permit are required to pay a $500 tuition deposit upon acceptance of admission. Once payment is made, a receipt will be provided that can be included with your study permit application.

This is unconditional offer letter which means you already sent your official transcript to them. However, someone that got offer for Master's in public admin was not asked to pay the $500 deposit, which was why asked about the course you applied for, perhaps it could be a departmental/faculty thing.

johnsonlawson89:
Good Day house, please i want to quickly ask a very serious question please. I just got an acceptance letter from the University of Regina and i was ask to make a $500 non refundable deposit. Why should i make the deposit when it is non refunded and not ganrantee i will get the study permit. What can i do. Thanks

Is it a conditional offer or unconditional offer (with regards to official transcript submission)?

johnsonlawson89:

Which course did you applied for and when did you applied? because I know someone who got admission offer since February in pub admin at the same school but was not asked to pay $500cad nonrefundable deposit

NuelNuelTT:
Please, in selecting Visa Office, am I picking Nairobi, Kenya or Lagos, Nigeria? I applied to Lagos Office but processed in Nairobi. Also in the comment section field, what do you suggest I fill? Thanks for your quick response.

Since your application was processed in Nairobi, then it should be Nairobi. for the comment section, I honestly don't have idea because I have never filled one before, but u can go to the page 440 I referred you to and chat the person that did his own already or perhaps the good people in the house can also guide you on what to fill in there.

Frank274:
Please I’m so mad now how can I do it... I want to pay tuition fees and the school emailed me that I can’t make a payment until I select and register my courses, and before I do that, I have to select an adviser who I will contact either my call, email or Skype to book a date that I will select the courses. Now I have selected an adviser and she gave me date which is on 6th next month, school is September now and I have less than 3 months now. Please gurus in the house advise me on what to do now I cant sleep again my heart is heavy. I’m thinking of submitting the visa app next week without tuition payment

From experience here, some applicants have gotten their TRV without paying a dim to the school. So I believe u can submit ur application without paying for tuition, u just need to convince the VO with proof that u can fund ur study and ur living expense in Canada.

NuelNuelTT:
Hello Olaola17,
Please I have a similar case like yours. My SP application was refused on the same grounds like yours yesterday night after receiving Biometrics validity letter a day before.
I have been looking for the advice/guidance provided by the good people in the house, please how do I get/look for this. Also on the GCMS notes, how did you request for yours?

Someone post this on page 440 "Go on google. There are different ones. I used CAIPS.
When you google just type order GCMS notes and you will see options. Open each, read their offers an d make your choice."

olaola17:
I have a bsc in sociology and i applied to study public administration dec 2018 and got my admission in feb 2019.

OK, I applied for same course in March this year, though my status still reads "pending dept/faculty selection" I don't knw if that is the last stage of processing. Please can I PM you since we have this in common?

olaola17:
Good morning All.

Please help! Below is the mail i received regarding my study permit last last night.

Thank you for your interest in visiting Canada. After careful review of your temporary resident
visa application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not
meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration
and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application on the following
grounds:
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your travel history.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.

You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can
demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be
accompanied by a new processing fee

Do i first request a GCMS note for further clarity and what else can i do because i am willing to re-apply. School resumes September 3rd. I currently work as an administrator in my current employment and i got admitted to study public administration at the University of Regina, earlier i had a conditional admission stating until i send my official transcript before i can register for courses, but now i have fulfilled that and i have received a non-conditional admission letter.

I also used a guardian as my sponsor who had about cnd 46,000+ equivalent in his account. My tuition is about cnd 20,000+.
Please i need help so i can address their concerns in a right way.
Thank you all and congratulations to all that have gotten their approval.

You need to request for your Gcms asap to get all the details, meanwhile, what did you study in you BSc? Also when did you applied to Uni Regina? Am equally waiting for admission offer from them.

olaola17:
Very true, please kindly help, the same applied to me this morning i was refused because that they are not sure i will be returning to my home country based on the following ground. 1) Travel history 2) purpose of visit 3)personal asset and financial status. Please what do i do? Do i request for a gcms note for better clarity?

Yes, order for your gcms note ASAP to get details on why the VO denied you TRV.

sillysassysally:
Nairaland Fam!
Thank you all for the congratulatory messages
The past couple of weeks has been an emotional rollercoaster! But knowing that we were all on a similar journey - each one at a different stage - was some sort of comfort.

My Timeline
Applied with upfront medicals – April 14th
Medical Request – May 6th (I was surprised when I got this medical request because I did upfront medicals, so I was wondering why they were still telling me to do medicals). I sent a web form with my e-medical slip attached and I also sent emails to Lagos, London, and Kenya. On May 7th (the day after receiving medical request), I went to the hospital to see the doctor who attended to me and doctor told me that he sent IRCC a message to link my upfront medical ID to my medical request ID.
Medicals passed – May 8th
Correspondence letter and Passport request – May 9th
Overall, my study permit took less than a month to be approved! Specifically, it took 25 days!

Things I believe that worked in my favour
1. The Grace of God that covered all my errors and colored all my efforts.
2. My resumption date (June 17th). I sort of feel that they give priority to people with nearer resumption dates. If you look at the timeline we have, you’d all notice that people resuming closer tend to get their decisions quickly – this does not mean that you should intentionally delay your application. At the end of the day, no one really knows the minds of these VO’s.
3. I have a strong international travel history (USA, UK, Brazil, South Africa, etc)
4. I made my submissions as organized as possible. Infact, I did a table of content for each pdf I merged so that whoever was working on my application would easily understand it.
5. I explained all lump sums with proof… (Sometimes, I see people saying things like “they’ll increase the money in their account from 5 million to 10 million” and I feel this raises eyebrows as it would question whether those funds are really available to the applicant.
6. I wrote a banging SOP… details below
7. I was truthful in my application. I have like 5 half-siblings (one living in the US and one living in the UK). I mentioned all of them in my family information form even though I was scared that it could potentially weaken my home ties.

Things I believe were the weak points of my application and how I addressed them
1. This was what I perceived to be the main weakness of my application. I was using student loans as proof of funds for my tuition. Mind you, these loans were from a reputable and internationally recognized company called Prodigy Finance. I addressed this perceived weakness by using a sponsor who was financially capable of paying off all my loans (even though most of her asset were illiquid (land and truck). Also, I believe I was able to show a strong academic and professional track record that indicated that I was financially capable of personally paying off the loans on an installment basis.
2. The name of my sponsor across all her documents was not consistent because she is a divorcee. I addressed this by submitting an affidavit of change of name with a newspaper publication

My advice to prospective PO’s
The truth is that you have to do the hard work yourself... Even though you can easily get guidance here, you still have a lot of homework to do yourself... Understand your profile – its weakness and its strengths and address them.

Documents I submitted
CAQ (Mandatory for students schooling in Quebec)
CIC Forms
Digital Photo
My passport showing all previous visas and stamps
Proof of upfront medical exam
Evidence of work requirement in study (my program comes with co-op)
Letter of Acceptance (Unconditional – though I sent the conditional one via a web form. I also begged them to process my application speedily considering my close resumption. However, my web form was never acknowledged). The other documents I merged with my Letter of Acceptance includes; acceptance deposit receipt, academic qualification documents (such as my certificate, transcript, WAEC certificate and TOEFL results), professional qualification documents (such as my CFA level 1 badge, letter of introduction from current employer, my bio page on my company’s website, work ID, and letters of employment from internships I had done in the past), then other documents (such as my NYSC certificate and my birth certificate).
Proof of financial support – Prodigy Finance loan of about CAD 36k (30K for school fees and 6k for living expenses), Paid acceptance deposit of CAD 5K, Scholarship of CAD 8.5K, Dorm account statement with living expenses of CAD 11K… These were the funds that were budgeted for my studies. Apart from the aforementioned, I had about NGN 1m in stocks, NGN 100k naira in T-bills, NGN 250k in RSA, and NGN 70K in my salary account – all of which I showed. In addition, my sponsor (who was my mother) also had NGN 1.9m in her account, NGN 5m in T-bills and NGN 4 m in RSA. I also showed my sponsors illiquid assets such as landed property with valuation worth NGN 40m and sponsors business asset ownership (trucks) worth NGN 20m. The essence of all of these other funds and documents was just to show that my sponsor could actually pay off my loan. Someone (an Indian) told me that if I was using loans as proof of funds, it was important to use a sponsor whose financial situation showed that they could handle the loan.
Finally, under client information, I included the birth certificates of my siblings, as well as the international passport data page of my sponsor (mother). I also included a letter and affidavit of sponsorship, Sponsors business certificate of incorporation and memorandum of association, and sponsors affidavit of change of name with newspaper publication. Finally, my “banging” SOP was in this section.

SOP
Unfortunately, I cannot share my SOP on this forum because I don’t want a case of copy and paste. My SOP also contains personal information… Nonetheless, I can share the structure.
- I started out with an Intro about myself, as well as my academic and professional trajectory.
- Then I moved to another paragraph I called “my purpose” where I spoke about my motivation for the course I wanted to do
- Then I moved to another paragraph I called “Why I chose McGill University” where I spoke about why I decided to opt for Mcgill as opposed to other options in Nigeria and in other countries.
- Then I moved to another paragraph called “Justifying the cost of my program”. This was important for me to do because – as I mentioned earlier, I was using student loans to finance my education and my school fees is freaking expensive (CAD $ 47,500) so it was important for me to “justify” the cost of my studies to the VO.
- Then I moved to another paragraph called “Family & Economic ties to Nigeria” where I spoke about my home ties being all my family in Nigeria. I also explained things that would make me return to my home country such as the amazing career I had started in Nigeria (evidenced by all the documents I submitted in my Letter of acceptance). I also spoke about specific things I wanted to use the Msc to achieve in Nigeria.
- Then I moved to another paragraph called “Funds available” where I showed a table of funds I had available.
- Finally, I finished with a section called “My responsibilities as a student” where I explained that I fully understood my responsibilities as an international student in Canada – bounded by the conditions of my student visa and by McGill University. I also wholeheartedly committed to abiding by all the rules and responsibilities that would apply to me as an International student in Canada and at McGill University.
- Then I ended SOP by telling them that their support is very essential to my dreams. I also humbly requested for the issuance of a study permit that was effective on or before the 1st of June 2019, as I wanted to travel to Canada by the 10th of June 2019 to acclimatize and get ready for my schools’ orientation on the 17th of June.

I have gotten so many emails today alone and I’m afraid that I may not be able to reply all in due time, but I would encourage us to share the questions here. There are so many amazing people on this forum that are committed to helping people! Special shout out to all the people doing this! Cc JustMellow, Bracha, etc. I can’t mention you all, but it gives me great joy when I see how selfless you all are to helping out willingly! Only God can reward you all!
On this note, I want to especially thank Frankrobbn1 - this guy is so amazing! He was so interested and committed to helping me that I started to think he was working for IRCC as a spy… I want to also specially thank AAO7 – amazing person! First time I sent her an email, we moved to WhatsApp and chatted all through the night to about 1 am. It was nice having someone to gist with and to both share all the frustrations we faced with the entire process.

Finally, I want to say a word of prayer to all TRV hopefuls…
Dear God,
You are in control of every situation of our lives and you know every one of our needs, as well as the dear desires of our heart.
I pray that in your grace, mercy, favour, and love, you would allow the application of the hopefuls of this thread to be approved quickly and without delay.
Thank You because you are a God who hears and answers the prayers of your children when we come to You with open hands and a humble heart.
I pray in Jesus name, Amen.

IT SHALL END IN PRAISE!

Amen to your prayer and congratulations again. You did a great job here, well done dear.

You have done a great deal with this issue, I think AgroNact should work with this suggestion step by step and everything will be fine, God willing.

JustMellow:
Hello agroNACT,

The new development in securing more funding is a welcoming improvement especially towards your financial status to acquire a much focused attention to actually study without thinking to work or panicking to see through your Canadian studies.

The area of your financial status "towards your Canadian/International studies" has been settled amicably but what you now have to focus on is your financial status "towards your family composition" esp if you married. If you ain't married, please ignore this advise of setting of a savings account or that of your spouse will suffice to deposit/save/transfer funds for the well-being or welfare of your family, it doesn't have to be huge maybe 2m - above. This could likewise be explained as an emergency or backup funds for the family to support the earnings of your spouse in your absence as she is gainfully employed.

In justifying your financial status towards your family composition, you can do this:

1. Attach your spouse's employment letter, payslips, CAC(if self employed). No need to include her bank statement to show the emergency funds transferred/saved but you can sound it convincing in your SOP

2. At least you can pay for 3 terms school fees for your kids(if any) then append the receipt to your application.

3. If reside in a lease, show rent payment receipt made/extended, if possible draw out a contract extension lease signed by your land owner and you.

4. If you do business, show evidence or draw a link of your spouse been in charge in your absence.

5. Get your spouse to write a letter of approval/support for your international studies and the provisions made/set aside by you that would cater for their needs and miscellaneous expenses in your absence. Herein, your spouse can then garnish from point 1-4 for you which should also correlate with your SOP.

Also, you done well to include a cosponsor, not that you won't be able to secure your SP as a self sponsored but its a right move getting a cosponsor whether a third party or not BUT I will advise you to change the title to a Sponsor because you is still self sponsored with a closing balance of 1.2m esp if you have a spouse, let the sponsor alleviate that burden.

The sponsor now don't need to pay or transfer a dim for your application purpose, what should be done is to state the responsibility to pay for your flight itinerary and other miscellaneous expenses upon your arrival to help you settle comfortably in the LOS. You might want to consider this:

1. In the LOS, your sponsor should intuitively construct points by points expatiating why the sponsorship and how come you, and what's the share from the benefits of such sponsorship.

2. He should avoid presumptuous/unsure/indirect words like "would/could/might" and rather replace them with "will/can."

3. Your sponsor should rather make a promissory commitment like: immediately your SP is approved or prior to the approval of your SP, that he will take responsibility of your flight and travel itineraries.

4. etc

The requited document for the sponsorship are:

a. Employment letter or CAC certification if self employed

b. Bank statement and other investment certificate(if applicable)

c. Payslips, reference letter, ID

d. Affidavit of sponsorship

e. etc

d. The sponsorship letter likewise your SOP should reflect your funding/scholarship and its sufficiency for your 1st semester tuition fees and living expenses. The funding should be given in the breakdown of how it was awarded, it would make more sense that just summing it up.

In terms of home ties, if you have no or don't have previous connection or work history with the company, don't do ask for an employment letter rather strengthen your home ties to your spouse and landed property, member of a social organization etc except you can improvise a tricky method to show a previous work history with the company.

It will also be advised to construct a LOE to address your refusal reasons to support your SOP.

Any family budget made to cover them in your absence should be a year except if you is capable to stretch it to 2yrs. Also, given that you won't be applying immediately as you awaiting for your gcms notes, try to keep the account you intend to apply with very active and the closing balance shouldn't stay the same - at least top it a little up. If you were to be reapplying immediately then it wouldn't have matter.

BTW don't change any previously stated information but you can rather add to it or reduce or include certain relevant documents.

Try to avoid including too many documents but given its a reapplication, you might also want to include any relevant documents that can buttress you application especially to make it convincing and satiating to the VO.

Good luck!
