I just got a denial email, guys. The reason they gave was based on travel history and based on personal asset and financial status. I'm self sponsored and I have over 8m in my account which covers both tuition and living expenses for PGC. I also have landed properties which I furnished them with the survey plans. Not sure what went wrong. I'm about to order GCMS notes and reapply asap because I'm supposed to resume by Sep. Do you guys think I would be able to meet up? Kai, I was very optimistic eh! Notwitstanding, I'll reapply.

So sorry about the refusal.

wealthmiq:
Thanks. Resumption is September. Do I have to defer?

Given the CIC TRV current processing time which I think is between 10 - 12 weeks, you can still reapply ASAP once you have addressed the VO's concerns. But I would suggest you order your GCMS first so as to get a clear understanding of the details for refusal before reapplying. If you chose to order for your GCMS, then you may want to defer the admission because GCMS may likely take up to a month before arrival.

wealthmiq:
Just got a refusal email.

Sorry to hear about the refusal, all you need to do is to probably defer the admission and repackage your application with a convincing SOP, God willing you will get it this time.

I did it at IOM in Abuja

Please how much did it cost to do medical at IOM Abuja?

Schonebaby:
I submitted on March 14 via paper route. No update till last week 24th April, when I suddenly got my medicals passed and biometrics validity correspondence letter.
Approval - 7th May

The documents I submitted with the Imm forms:
Admission letter (Queen’s University; PhD)
Funding letter from university ( 25,900 CAD yearly)
I added my mum’s account of about 1 million....and added her fixed deposit certificate on second thought (2 million).
Her letter indicating support to cover my airfare cost + early settling down costs.
Mum’s passport
2 Previous Internship letters in research institutes
Previous passport and visa stamp (trip was for research purpose)
Posting letter (Npower)
Transcripts + Certificates
Paper publication
TOEFL + GRE score reports
Detailed SOP
Police report
Marriage certificate and Change of Name +husband's passport

That’s about all....I held on to Mark 11:24. I return all glory to God.
I really wish every TRV hopeful the best!

Thank you for sharing and Congrats again. Please did you do biometrics on the same day of submission? Did you do upfront medical? And when is the resumption date?

TheAfrikan:
YES....

So, I was talking about the study permit with a friend who is a Permanent Resident.

I was told that the Province you apply to study also plays an important role in your study permit application.

Can this be varied by others so as to educate new study permit applicants on the way forward.

Thank you.......

I think this could be possible especially if some less populated/developing province have more demand for temporary migrants. But this really need to be research further to serve as a guide for future applications

deebee23:

I thank God for his favour

Big big congratulations to you and thanks for sharing your timeline. The documents you submitted seems quite few compared to others I have seen on this platform, please was it Master degree you got admitted into at Nova Scotia community college?

Hello Everyone,

For anyone planning to come to Canada as a student, you may find this information useful

Thank you, this is very informative.

Hi buddies,
Just need few responses from y’all.
Im a new applicant I applied last month for my study permit (st. Clair college) meanwhile i just got back from Canada. My questions are:
Will i have to do another biometrics?
Will i get a mail on when I should do my medicals??
How long does the whole application take?

If your biometric validity from your previous TRV is still valid (less than 10 years since the last time you submitted your biometric data to CIC) then you don't need another biometric. You may decide to do upfront medical to hasten your application or you may wait for the medical request email which timeline is case dependent. The whole application process timeline varies by individual case.

otunbanimi:
Good morning People,

Please I need some advice!

1. I got admitted to University of Regina. Tho I applied for Masters in Human Resource Management because I have bsc in HRM but I was given Masters in Administration. Hope it follows course progression?

2. I intend using a sponsor that we share same surname with a balance of 30M in his account. Also I want a colleague to transfer 2M to my account for onward transfer to my mutual fund account. So it can read 2.5M.

A. Will I need to state reason for the bulk transfer to my account.

B. Do I need to print my Mutual fund account holdings or my bank account SOA or both?

3. Can I go ahead and use my conditional admission offer letter for my study permit application? They are still expecting my ND Transcripts from my sch tho they have received my BSC.

Please assist with your advice.

Congrats on your admission, is the admission offer for fall or winter? When did you get the offer letter?

Dear XXXX XXXX
RE: validity of your biometric information
Thank you for providing your biometric information (i.e. digital fingerprints and photograph) in
support of your temporary resident application to Canada. The purpose of this letter is to notify
you that your biometric information is valid until (2029/03/21) for subsequent
temporary resident applications to Canada.
What you need to know for subsequent temporary resident (TR) applications:
• Please keep this letter for future reference. Your biometric information must be valid for the
duration of your temporary stay in Canada.
• You will not be required to provide your biometric information again in support of any
subsequent temporary resident applications you make within the validity date indicated
above.
• However, if you wish to extend the validity of your permit or visa beyond the validity date
indicated above you can provide your biometric information again and pay the associated
fee for another ten-year validity.
• Please note that you will be required to provide your biometric information in support of any
permanent resident application, even if you apply within the validity date indicated above.
• In addition to this letter, you can check the validity date of your biometric information using:
• your MyAccount at
• the Biometrics Validity Tool that is available on Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship.
That's the email i got from them.

Everything is fine, CIC is just acknowledging the receipt of your biometric data and of course letting you know the duration of your current biometric which is 10yrs as usually and you don't need to submit another biometric within the 10yrs period for any other TRV except if you are applying for a PR. it is fine really, I wish you all the best.

wealthmiq:
Anyone else ever received biometric validity mail without medicals? this is scaring me. Please if anyone has had this experience before let me know what happened after. first time applicant. I applied March 21. this is the first email I am receiving from them. please someone should respond

Share the details of the email so people can understand what the email is about and make recommendations or advice you proper.

amozag2018:
I finally got a response from CIC and it was a denial after 11 months of waiting. Please how can I tackle the reason below:

Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. After careful review of your study permit 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 the purpose of your visit.

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.




Sincerely,

So sorry bro, it's rather unfortunate after 11 months of waiting, God dey ooo! Just address the VO's concerns and reapply, then believe God to get it this time.

Freeworld321:
So I got the second admission but my agent failed to tell me that there was a deadline for payment being march 1st, march 1st came and passed, the school moved me off the program to waitlist, meaning my spot has been taken, another devastation. what that technically meant was that I wont be travelling in april again meanwhile my visa was already running out. I had to move to plan C, Applying for a diploma course.
I applied for the diploma course, was given admission, awesome.

Thank you again for sharing with us, please you may do good to share with the house if you reached out or submitted another acceptance letter to CIC after you got the last (Diploma) admission for record purpose or was there no need for such record update?

Freeworld321:

Now for those coming, there arent much to expect at the airport, just fill your declaration card(a card that will tell the authorities at a glance what you are bringing into the country). you get your study permit and probably sin number if you aint in a hurry.
So I hurriedly left after getting my study permit in other not to miss the Fanshawe bus that was waiting. I was taking to Knights Inn motel, A popular one on Dundas street for two free nights which you are entitled to if you apply to Fanshawe College.

Ok, Its becoming too long, I will continue with things to do immediately you arrive and others latter.

This write up is not complete if I dont make another shout out to @Naijaforeigner, really you have been a life saver out here. If you coming to Fanshawe College, kindly holla at him@naijaforeigner if you need any info or assistance with anything. Thank you, thank you, thank you again @naijaforeigner. With him, we sure got our backs as international students(Nigerians).

Ok, God deserve all the praise so far. To as many that are so expectant of TRV, Place your hand on your chest and say He(God) never fails.

Thanks for your time. Next post in a bit. One love

It may be long, but it sure contains some valuable lessons international students could learn about the great Fanshawe College

Congratulations, God really deserves all the praise. And thank you too for share the info, especially the point of entry permit and SIN.

guzenaira:
To an extent, you are very right but then EE looks good because you pay less in tuition and comes with some benefits as well as in health and the rest.

There is job in Canada and at the same time there is no job. They value their certificates more in job hunting but that doesn’t mean pple without their certificates don’t get job.

I know of someone who had his masters in Canada but after school, he didn’t apply to some jobs with his masters but then he has varsly experienced and he applied with Nigerian BSC and still got job offers.

If her mind goes with studies then let her calm down plan properly with what she’s gonna submit to the embassy and make sure it tally’s with IRCC requirements and I believe she will get it. That’s if she believes.

Nothing is difficult about Study permit, If you do it right with God’s guidance.

Thanks a lot, I will still talk to her, though she is thinking that applying through study would make it easy for her to migrate and bring her family afterwards. She said that her spouse is jobless for now and may likely not pass the required English language test in one sitting if she goes with the EE process, thereby causing her to keep paying for the test over and over again in order to achieve a good point.

5p1naz:
Express entry is your friend's answer. https://www.nairaland.com/5031893/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled

I told her the same thing but she said she doesn't want to start wasting money on English language test in attempt to achieve the points required, and then start waiting in pool for months. Though she said that her friend studying PhD in Canada advised her that coming through study permit is the best way to migrate because many people with the EE Visa still find it difficult to secure a professional well paid jobs due to the lack of a Canadian qualification. The guy told her that employers value job applicants with Canadian certificate more and pay them high.

URGENT PLEASE!!
Good day the good people in the house, please I need your honest response to help me advice a friend properly. A friend of mine wants to go fmaster's degree in Canada, currently she has a PGD & a master's degree in the same discipline from the same school but wants to go to Canada for a second master's in a related discipline. Now the challenge is that she is planning to submit the PGD certificate as her highest qualification in the application for a TRV to avoid the VO raising unnecessary red flag by wondering why she is going for a second master's degree instead of a PhD. So please I need to advice her on this, is it OK for her to be silent on the master's degree qualification and state her PGD certificate in a bid to avoid doubt on her purpose of travel?

Stanley5050:
I called the vfs global and they only gave me an email to send message to Lagos immigration. It’s going to take up to 2 weeks before they get back to me. I don’t think I have that much time to risk due to the fact that I have a deadline to submit passport.

At the VFS Global office show the manager or supervisor the CIC update and make them understand the risk of losing the opportunity to get your TRV.

I will still suggest you visit the office in person if you are in Lagos, that is where you did your biometric and submitted your passport, talk to a supervisor there.

Stanley5050:
Good morning, pls guru in the house I have a problem here. I submitted my visa application via paper which I provided all the necessary documents including my valid passport on the October 9th 2018, in which I got a response on the December 3rd 2018 demanding a one year bank statement ticket. I provided and sent the necessary documents demanded via email on December 17th 2018. After then, I linked my paper application to an online account (gckey) where I can view the status of my application. I got a response on the April 16th 2019 which I was approved and my valid passport was requested by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. After I got the message, I tried tracking my application through Visa Facilitation Services (VFS global) but my document hasn’t been dispatched, which my application is still under processing according to them.
My problem is that I did my application via paper, where I submitted all my documents at the Canadian embassy in Lagos which my valid passport was submitted also. And they still requested for my passport, maybe thinking I submitted online. Any suggestions will help please. What I’m I to do.

Since you got an online update that your application has been approved and hence a request for your passport, and you said you already submitted it during your paper application, I would suggest you visit the VFS Global office to enquire about your document. However, I believe others in the house will throw more light on this.

Hello peep in the house someone please help with this
