I’m May 15th applicant.
My application was refused yesterday based on personal assets and financial assets. I had 10kCAD in my account and around 20 million In my sponsors account. I also paid first semester tuition of 7kCAD.

Guys please I need advice on how to tackle this.
P.s. I have applied for my GCMS notes

Bukoj:
PPR has dropped ooo!!!!! I have been crying guys. May 15th Applicant.

LILIAN75:
Good morning dear nairalanders, the long wait ended today with refusal with reasons insufficient fund and home ties
App 27th of April
BVL 18th of August
Refusal 9th of September

My classes has resumed on the 1st of September , so I deferred the admission to January 2022 due delay of the application processing which has been approved but I'm yet to get the new LOA , will be getting it before next week ends according to my college.
I want to reapply to meet up with January 2022, I want to order for the GCMS but from the comments I have been seeing here, its seems it takes more than a month and we have less than four months to January.
I didn't do upfront medical initially, booked for the upfront after I joined this thread and the appointment is scheduled to be on the 30th of September.
Questions
1) Can I change my sponsor
2) I had gift deed of 2m but the fund is no longer in the account
3) I use my Job as home ties and how I intend to give back to my society upon my return, its a one year health care leadership programme that i applied for. what other thing can I use as my home ties
4) Can I still meet up with January if I reapply
5) should I still go ahead and do the medical exam I booked
I don't even know what to think again

prada1:
Good Morning guys. so here is my timeline and story.
1st time applicant.
Application submission-May14th
Biometrics-May 27
Medicals-August 11
Correspondence-September 7
PPR-September 7 (about 30 mins after correspondence)

i received nothing on my application till September. I sent mails but they said to stop so i did but on September 7, i sent another one begging them to answer me and after 30 mins, I got my PPR. Infarct, Eligibility never changed till i got my correspondence.
To my story

I am a product of God's grace. When God says YES, believe me, no one can say NO. I applied to about 3 schools but i picked a course not really related to my discipline because i wanted funding. Sha, i was reject in two of the schools and i was giving an alternative in the 3rd university which is MUN to take a graduate diploma and upon my performance this fall, i will switch to the masters program which can be funded.
It sounded great and i asked here on NL for people's opinion if this was a good offer.it wasnt logical so majority of the people discouraged me saying i had a good grade in my undergrad cgpa of 4.+ so if i applied, my visa might be rejected. Also, there is no career progression, i am going for a course which is not aligning and so on.
i didn't know what to do but at some point, but i decided to give it a trial.

i went ahead to submit my application. The point i am trying to make is that.
My application looked impossible and even me myself was skeptical about it

1. I had limited fund i.e my funds where less than 7m, the funds where lump sum. It was sent to me about 5 days before i applied and i never showed where it came from i.e the persons bank statement cause it was from various sources.
2. i didn't pay any tuition not even deposit
3. Doesn't look like there was career progression
4. going for a different course

Document submitted
1. My university transcript, degree cert, waec etc.
2.My bank statement
3.Nysc cert
4.SOP- Very detailed 4 pages
and some other document like employment letter, payslips (just 2 years work experience with NYSC)

Infact, i have started preparing for another application window and was about tom pay for ielts and start the process again but GOD had plans for me. Little did i know .

Sha Sha Sha, God did it. My point is to give us hope that God can break all protocols if we believe. This platform helped me a lot. I cant count how many people i DM to help me and they were all willing. I did it myself, No agent whatsoever and it was all based on the knowledge i acquired and information i got from this platform.
God bless us all. lets Keep the hope alive and it shall surely End in Praise

Please, i am looking for a roommate/ Accommodation (F). I plan travelling next month to ST Johns. Also, where can i get the Johnson and Johnson[right][/right] vaccine. Since its one shot. Please help. I am trying to save cost.

Thank you all

Congrats bro . I think the emails you sent really help. You can drop them for other applicants later and likewise how you compose the reminder mail

Really? Is it possible for the school to contact IRCC on your behalf?

Landing gist

Friday September 03, I arrived at the airport around 4:30pm for a 10:55 PM flight. My parents insisted that we leave home early especially because it was raining and Lagos traffic is unpredictable. They were right.

The queue was long. I was approached by a British Airways official and he asked if I have the passenger locator form with me. I was not aware of such. Gave him my phone to search for the link. I filled and downloaded the form only to be told I do not meet the UK fully vaccinated requirement. I had to fill the form again.

Note: Those computer centers at the airport will urge you to come and print the form. That's totally unnecessary. You do not need to print. You can present a soft copy from your phone.

Went on to check-in my luggages, both bags weighed 23 point something kg. The lady was nice enough to overlook the very little excess.
I presented the documents below;
Enrollment letter
Passport
Covid 19 negative result
Receipt of Tuition fee
Passenger locator form I submitted to the UK government
I forgot to print study permit approval letter, I had to show the lady a soft copy from my phone.
I was asked to wait somewhere while they await confirmation from their source. After confirmation I was provided my boarding pass. I chilled at the restaurant with my family till I was ready to board.

The 2 Flights were smooth and the in-flight entertainment was top notch, but I couldn't eat the meals provided. I was literally feeling hungry. I wouldn't have shared the cookies I brought from home with the passenger beside me if I had known.

NB: Don't ever depend on in-flight meals o. That's probably the only drawback from the journey.

At Heathrow airport, I couldn't access the internet properly despite my phone being connected to the WiFi. Some apps and website were inaccessible. Spent 7hrs there. I was indecisive on what to eat and when I finally did, my choices were terrible. I kept myself entertained with series I downloaded.

NB: Don't ever buy canned coconut water.

I Departed London and landed in Toronto around 4pm. The entire process at the airport was smooth as I am fully vaccinated. Immigration didn't ask any unnecessary question. It was more like a conversation.

I was picked up by a family at the airport. Currently recovering from all the stress.
Best wishes to everyone.

frankob:
The guy is filled with errors he filled a form for me and put female instead of male. He is just a scam. He told me I can enter Canada early and start working and earn enough money before my studies start. Omo run away from this guy he will ruin your life.

frankob:
This guy was one of the people I contacted when I wanted to start my study abroad journey but I noticed he uses different numbers and some things he was telling me were totally different from what I know is possible I had to run for my life. Do it yourself guys. Learn it as questions and most importantly read everything on the IRCC website.

purespikes:

Just imagine. I have spoken with dozens of agents, especially on Instagram. You will be shocked that those who regularly visit this page are even more knowledgeable than these so called agents. Imagine an agent that doesn't even knw what MBS stands for.

purespikes:


You are smart very smart. This agent of doom called Wokos is wicked and has his hands full of shady practices. Beyond the fact that he hid the truth about the application from the victim, the encounter @Faithyyyyy had with him, during which he encouraged faithy to forge documents, summarises his conduct and character.

The person and character of wokos is shady and evil. People like him should be called out loud to prevent others falling victim...


As for me and my household, we shall handle our applications by ourselves.

This is my first post here. I am still gathering knowledge before I apply....

KellyKk:

Bro, just done chatting the agents and he said all documents submitted was brought by u! . But me I curse him say He go meet God for front

OdabiP:
Good evening Nairalanders, this is quite long but bear with me. Earlier this year (2021) I was referred to a page on IG that handles Canada study visa called “ Wokostravelofficial” . They apparently were into securing admissions for interested people at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada and I secured their services. After making all payments to one Kinsley Onuchukwu GTB 0568656274 (handler of the Wokos page) and successfully securing the admission, we moved on to the visa application stage and this is where things started going sideways.

While waiting on this, I also applied to another Canadian institution (Niagara College, Canada) and was offered an acceptance to the Broadcasting program with a co-op work permit attached to it but decided to use the Manitoba admission for my study visa since it came before the other Niagara own and I had already began the study visa process but I planned to switch when i eventually got the study visa.

After providing all the required documents needed for visa application ( international passport, my sponsors bank statement of 12M Naira and sponsorship letter, CAC documents, filling my family information form) to “ Wokos”, my application was submitted in early February 2021 and a week later I was invited to do biometrics screening which I did at the VFS center in Lekki.

Months passed and no feedback from the embassy and every time I messaged this guy he always give me different excuses ( COVID, this , that) so I lockup. He refused to give me the details to my IRCC login claiming he is handling many applications and cannot give the login details to everyone so any messages or requests from IRCC that I receive on my email I would have to ask him before he even tells me what was going on and which documents they were requesting for ( NSE documents like IELTS and Mybankstatement)

Eventually after a 5 months wait, he eventually sent me the rejection mail on the 24th of June claiming my application was unsuccessful . I was devastated and asked him if I could immediately request for my GCMS note to know the real reason my application was rejected but he insisted that I would have to wait for at least two months before even applying for GCMS. I doubted it but I waited, a month later in late July, I asked again about applying for GCMS note but he still dismissed it so I took the incentive and made some research on how to apply myself and I did.

After a month and some days later, I received the GCMS today (3rd of September 2021) and I am shocked to find out that they used duplicated documents for my study visa applications that had already been used in several other applications and I was being accused of fraudulent documentation and misrepresentation and being hit with a 5 years ban from all Canada visa applications .

The annoying part alongside this is that this agent was given some time ( June to July) to inform me on the misrepresentation allegations and to challenge it if need be but he did not and if I had not applied for the GCMS note myself I wouldn’t even know that I had been banned for 5 years. Also because Canada, US and Australia share information and data base I have also been told that the chances of me getting a visa in those 3 countries are now slim to none.

I would appreciate any information and ideas on the important next steps I would need to take to possibly appeal this ban. 5 years no be joke ��‍♂️. Please help a brother out ��

Teemenzo:


Amen thank you, i appreciate.

Already at the venue and still looking for my motivation.

Enjay316:
do u earn much?

Enjay316:
hope u gave an explanation for it?.may b gift deed or receipt from selling a property or something with evidence cos the V.O may think u borrowed the money.

Enjay316:
so many ppl have gotten PPR without even paying any school fees but no two applications are the same.it does not matter if u have 100,000CAD in ur account but what is the source of ur funds?.If u have ur pay slip or salary account, then u should add it.also avoid Lump sum.if u have 30CAD and like 20CAD was paid just weeks to ur application, it may b a challenge. that is y 4 ppl with lump sum,the gurus will always advise to have detailed explanation with proof in ur SOP on how d money came and probably y it is just coming or to b on a safe side, pay ur 1st year tuition fee if u have confirmed that ur school has a refund policy from the funds.
note I am not a guru all I post here is through previous answers of gurus like Frank,just mello , just wise lekki bobo Nd co. to similar questions like this and we saw it worked 4 those individuals

Enjay316:
I am not a guru but I personally think this is easy if u have the school fees.I think if you can reapply and pay the school fees in full especially if it's a one year program, they will give you.If it's a two year program too nd u have d cash,then u can pay but if u dont have the cash,I think this will be a problem then.
u may also consider opening a GIC, cos I think they probably dont believe u have d funds but if u have d money to open a GIC account in addition to the school fees,it may be better cos it shows Financial commitment , if not give them another MBS of 1 year showing sufficient funds for ur living expenses either with u or sponsor but u must pay ur school fees mate.my 2 kobo

PPR ALERT!!!
WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOES NOT AND CAN NEVER EXIST!

JosephYemsol:


lols!! i tot i warned you before going for your biomtr

Daylight23:
Good morning everyone. My PPR dropped this morning.

It appears the application had been approved already because few minutes after sending an email to the Nairobi office, the PPR dropped. Till now my Eligibility has not started, just shows final decision as approved. So sending mails may help.

Submitted Application May 17th
Upfront Medicals July 22nd
Correspondence letter and PPR August 27th

- A former colleague stood as my sponsor and gave her statement
- I included nothing showing personal assets (been out of work for over a year, so no bank statement)
- I am going for a PhD program (fully funded)
- I applied with my spouse (still awaiting his PPR)

God is able! Thank you for all the information on this page!

Onyekachiii:
Hello everybody, please Someone just posted in a group on WhatsApp that his agent that is based in Canada just told him that all those that got ppr request from from august 15th to 25th IRCC said it was a computer issue, so they are returning their passports back, please how authentic is this information?

Lekiboboe:


1) Await a response to your first question


2) Go there with your;
- Biometric Instruction Letter
- Appointment letter
- Your International Passport
- 2 Coloured Copies of your International Passport Data Page (Print this before going to the Center, cos if u don't , u would be left with no choice than to print it at an outrageous amount at the center)
- Go with your NoseMask so you don't buy #50 nose mask for #500

Note: Ignore any tout or anyone that comes to meet you or wants to convince you that you need Passport Photograph, it is not needed

Are people still getting NSE requests? I am wondering if I should start practice for IELTS

ForevaTT:
Hi,

Since the 1st of April 2021, I've been a silent reader on Nairaland. I learned about web-forms, e-mailing MPs (which I did), and even the official email address to contact for updates using this platform.

My application was approved this morning after nearly 5 months of checking my e-mail every day and sending multiple web-forms. God takes all the glory on this one.

I have a Bsc. in Computer Technology from BU but applied for an Advanced Diploma Business Admin course at Seneca College and my application was approved. It happens to be a three year course btw! This means it's very possible to apply for a diploma even with a Bsc.
My mother is my sponsor and note this, i supplied a fixed deposit investment from a reputable Microfinance bank (alongside an access bank statement of account). 95% of the monies were with the MFB. I also supplied my company bank statement with SCB.

I also supplied the following :
1. Lease agreement i had secured with a student residence on campus.
2. SOP written by me (edited by God ) , explaining my career path and study purpose. As a footwear designer, i included a catalogue of my designs, CAC documents and also attached my CV.
3. Sponsorship letter from my mum narrating my business achievements and why she chose to support me further.

Overall, I believe God's favor was at work here because I've seen many more qualified people be turned down! What God cannot do does not exist!

Keep praising God in anticipation, you are next !

Good evening my people.

Am a passive reader, After reading lot of posts on this platform. I decide to run my application by myself, which I successfully did.

I submitted my application on 10th July 2021
I did my biometrics on 15th july 2021
Got a correspondent letter this morning 25th of august 2021 exactly a month and 15days after biometrics

About an hour after the correspondent letter, I got a refusal

The below were stated in the letter

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 your family ties in Canada and in your country of
residence.
• 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.
Sincerely,
High Commission of Canada
