TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by Kolajero: 7:56pm On Jul 20, 2022
Good evening. My mum wants to send about 800k to my account and back it up with a Deed of Gift. She has never sent such amount to my account before and I have never received that much into my account too.

The reason we're using Deed of Gift is that I don't want to attach her bank statement to my application because she some other lump sum amount that I don't want to stress myself to explain.

So, I want to know if the Deed of Gift alone is enough without her bank statement based on the reason above?

I will appreciate answers from Gurus.

Bvl/passprt request : July 18th

GOD Almighty showed me mercy,he alone deserves all the Glory..

Got admission In Feb 2021..I deferred for personal and General reasons..

Knowing my profile..i knew I needed a magic touch..been reading the thread for years until I decided to kick-start this journey..

I am full time home maker,never worked and I have a long study gap,
I knew I had work to do..
The reason some agents I met said it wasn't possible..

I was gonna opt for Journalism cos I majored in Arts/Humanities
With the advice of Justmellow and Frank I settled for a business program since we had documents to prove that...

I made my secret findings about Frank ,everyone poured accolades and talked about his expertise..

I concluded I was gonna use him..

He did magic to my application.. he told me I had nothing to worry about..my husbands profile is more than enough to get me Visa..

I didn't even submit my personal statement of account..what the VO will see is just husband ,dad and siblings sending me money..last born palaver lol...

I requested for Gcms and saw the VO wrote (no savings,no income)tho it was "recommended passed"(I didn't like the word recommended, I wanted it to be "passed"and VO had positive things to say about sponsor..like I said I didn't submit my Statement of acct..

Even though Frank said it was nothing to worry about ,I was worried and he had no choice than to tell me to quickly submit a fixed deposit..

I submitted a fixed deposit cert via webform..medical request dropped 30 minutes after I had submitted the fixed certificate...I have no idea if it influenced it or not..Frank said it did not..I was gonna get medical request regardless...

Gurus in the house, please help answer how to treat this flight ticket showing itinerary in the attached photo for my spouse that is accompanying me. We are applying for Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP) for him.

We know he will not be coming back to Nigeria immediately but his letter of employment in Nigeria indicates he is entitled to 20 working days of annual leave.

Our fear now is that if we book a return ticket of 20 working days interval for him they may give him give him SOWP of just 20 days.

Please, what is the best thing to do here? We don't want to make a mistake please.

Honestly it isn't a wise decision since you just got your visa and probably yet to travel.Am sure you answered NO to a portion when you were asked if any family member will be accompanying you.I will advice you get to canada first and ask for SP for her and not visitor visa. My advice is that we venture into 80% approval decision than 50/50. God will help us all as this journey is via Grace after you must have rightly perfect all things. It will end in praise
Please, what is SP?

Hmm! The bitter truth is that if you don’t disclose it, the United States Immigrations will still reveal this information to Canada when both countries share your biometric details. Trust me; you don’t want the panic of a Procedural Fairness Letter.

The implication of withholding a previous refusal is that IRCC will serve the applicant a Procedural Fairness Letter alleging misrepresentation ( withholding material facts about your application) with very little time for the person to respond to the PFL, like 15 days which can lead to a five-year ban from applying to Canada

I would advise you to disclose it in your application. Please don’t be scared; it does not adversely affect your applications since you did not commit a crime and not a security risk.

You need to present the refusal reason in any way that they can see an improvement in your financial portfolio over the years.

All the best!
Wow! Thanks so much. I really appreciate.

Please, I gave birth to my baby more than one year before my marriage to my husband who is also her farther.

So, the date on her birth certificate is more than one year earlier than our date of marriage recorded at the marriage registry.

Please, how do treat this in our family application?

Is it not a red flag that my child is older than my marriage?

Kindly share your experience with me on this.

There is a particular section in your form where they would ask if you have been denied before. Click yes, explain in detail why you were denied (Indicate that it was at the US consulate) and conclude with how your situation has changed and what you have done differently in terms of your finances and the plan towards financing your studies and living expenses.

Refer the officer to check full details and explanation in your statement of purpose. You are good to go once they can sense transparency and truthfulness in your application.

All the best!
Thanks so much. But can I decide not disclose the refusals. Will they detect if I do so?

Hey guys, It's been a minute since I came on here. I thought about Nairaland and how I was always here when I started this travel journey in 2013. It took me eight years to eventually get my study permit, and I would say it was worth the wait. This is to encourage anybody thinking about giving up; please don't. I understand how frustrating it was to wait year after year and one rejection after the other.

If you are waiting on your study permit decision, please look for a skill to learn. When you get here, it is essential you have something you can do to earn some money on the side apart from the 20hrs a week you are allowed to work. Many students here do cash jobs to make money on the side.

Let me clear something up real quick; Canada is the land of milk and honey but trust me, you have to work like a mad man to get to that point where you'd enjoy it. School here isn't as hard as in Nigeria, but the workload is crazy. If your course is online, it is easier, but when you have to be physically present in school, it takes a toll on you. Make friends in school and meet as many people as possible; do not be an island when you get here. The difference between passing and failing a course can be friends willing to assist you with assignments and have study sessions with you.

Nigeria is hard, and Canada is way better in many ways, but that does not mean it is easy here. If you notice, many people here on Nairaland disappear after they travel, and I can tell you that it is primarily because of the new challenges you face here. Rent is monthly, so before you blink, it is time to pay the next; the semesters go by so fast that you have your next semester's tuition to pay in no time. Assignments are back to back, tests are every other week, and you still have to do your 20hr a week job plus the cash jobs.

I am not writing this to discourage anybody, I love Canada, and it's a beautiful place to live, work and build a family. I want you to understand that while you are leaving one set of problems behind, and rightfully so, this one is waiting for you here, too, lol.

Anyway, do not give up on your dream; Canada is more beautiful than you can imagine. It is so peaceful, and everything works. I pray that everybody reading this gets to experience their dream of moving here.

I don't know much about the immigration process, but if you have any questions about living in Canada, Thunder Bay, or how it feels like studying at Confederation College, please feel free to ask me here or shoot me an email.
Thanks so much for this insight. But I have a question.

For the 20hrs work permit, what is minimum wage per hour do employers pay?

I need answer to do some important calculations. Thanks in advance.

sole owner of the company is my mother
My mind did not even go there.. company still runs till tomorrow

Damn any idea on how to go about this !?
Because I have been wondering my soa is not fake what then would be the issue because I handled the application myself
I will suggest the first thing to do is to quickly ask your company's lawyer or secretary to update the company's record with the CAC to make it active since someone has pointed out that it could be one of the reasons. This should not cost up to 100k or a little more depending on when the last time the company filed a return with the CAC and it does not take too much time. This will make the VO to see the company as active next time if truly they check. Make this small no come spoil sth good.

Sorry for the refusal but this is the little research I did on your sponsor company and it is imactive and you know embassy run all this check and when they see inactive. It automatically a red flag.
My company is also inactive on the CAC website but it is not the one sponsoring me. However, I will use its letter of introduction, appointment letter, and payslip. Will I also have this kind of issue?

Hello house..got PPR yesterday..Family application. Study visa for me, VV for my baby, but my husband’s PPR (SOWP) hasn’t dropped. Was hoping it would drop later in the day so that I would give our testimony at ones, not until I checked his profile and his medicals is not updated yet. IOM promised to send our medical sheets via email, but I didn’t receive any.(so that I can send my husband’s own via webform) How do I go about this plz.

First time applicant, did everything myself, no travel history for both of us.

Submitted: April 26
Biometrics done and updated: May 11
Medical request for 3 of us: June 14
Medicals done at IOM Abuja: June 27
Medicals updated (me and our child): June 28

Would send our documentation later.
Congratulations to you.
