Baphil:
Hello everyone, please a friend's application was refused on this reason • 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.

What do you advise she should do.
Is a judicial review in view?
If yes, what is the process like?

Thank you!

I should be able to write extensively on the Judicial Review processes today.

Baphil:
She did!

Any lumpsum ?. Estimate of total proof of funds submitted.

Source of funds well explained?.

Naturalobserver:
I did everything..I got an error message from them and its relating to my DLI number
The error message stated it must begin with O must be up to 20 numbers..
The DLI number on my LOA begins with O but has only 11 numbers.

Do not try it again in the next 48hours .


If you are comfortable sharing those details. You can send a DM.

Naturalobserver:
How do I go about this?

I am happy to guide you on what to do. Follow the below steps:

1. Click on this link https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html, go to option 1 and register as a new user on the "Don't have an account" tab.

2, Create all the Security questions and answer that the system would prompt you.

3, Once you are done creating your account, you would see in blueprint a link reading "Add (link) your application to your account". Please click it.

4, Refer to the screenshot below. You will see different selections to choose from ( the screenshot will guide you) :

* Under Category, select temporary residence
* Under Subcategory, select study permit and extension
* Under Application details, select family name, given name and date of birth ( Being you might not know your application number and UCI due to the denial by your agent, but if you know these numbers, select application number and UCI)
* Under Applicants Personal information, select passport then enter your passport details
* Under Information about applicant's study in Canada, enter details as on your admission letter, which was declared in your application and your DLI number.
* Once this is entered and you review all details, click search for my application. It will open a new page.
* This new page will ask you to fill out a form to disassociate yourself from your agent. Fill this form to the best of your knowledge and attach and continue, then you should have your account linked.

NB: Once you enter all details correctly and it gives you an error message, and you try this twice, please wait for another 24 hours before trying again because the system allows one to try to link only 5 attempts, after which it would lock you out . Please wait for another 24 hours to try again should in case it gives an error when you click "Search for my application"

I hope this helps!

can he do that without having his password and username?

Yes. He can .

Naturalobserver:
Okay let me make it clear
I applied to study in Canada last year through an agent.
Paid 500$ (CAD),235$ (CAD) for visa and 250,000 naira for State Of Account
Got Letter Of Acceptance from the school..Lambton college in Sarnia,Canada.
I paid 2000$ CAD as deposit for school fees.
Did my biometric 2nd week of April 2021.Since then no satisfactory information from the agent.He kept on telling me he hasnt heard anything from the embassy and concluded its because of covid.Anytime I ask him he kept on saying nothing yet maybe cuz COVID..I dont even have access to any of my account..
It was nothing until December last year I started doubting him when he told me he paid 150$ for GCMS note and with the information I get here i havent seen anything like paying money for GCMS note.To make it worse he was advising me to just apply for UK and started stating all the requirements,that was when I got angry and told him to send me all the money I have given him so far that am no longer interested in pursuing the Canada admission anymore ...
He sent the part school fees I paid ..{$2000 (CAD)} and my passport...I asked him what about the remaining. He told me the remaining money were used accordingly so I just ended the call immediately..I actually went for biometrics so on my own am removing the $235 for visa and the $500 for admission because of the ACCEPTANCE Letter I got from the school...But I still dont think the State Of Account has been used hence the reason for my question..I will be grateful to get useful information...Thanks

You will have to link your application to a new gckey account to see what had happened with your application. By God's you won't see pfl or 5 years ban.

Semtu:
Please someone made an elaborate thread of how to send passport after PPR sometime ago.. Can someone please resend it, can’t seem to find it.

Nah my area of specialization.

mimini:
Hello house,
Please I need your advice. I will be applying for study permit soon. Someone wants to deposit some money to complete the proof of funds. My issue is that since we have to submit 4 months bank statement, is the person suppose to leave the money in the account for 4 months before I apply for the study permit? Note that nobody will want to leave a huge amount with someone for that long when he has things to do with his money.
Another thing is that ,my hubby wants to serve as a sponsor and I want the money deposited in his account. Won't they ask on how he had a large deposit if I apply for the study permit almost immediately the money was deposited?
Please I need your guidance and quick response. Thank you.

Do you mean you want to use the money for demostration?.

WiZiggy:
Please all, for the past 2 weeks have paid my tuition using the e form A, been waiting for my bank to debit me. My deadline is next tomorrow February 15th. What should I do please ?
Ps: school already extended tuition deadline for me from 1st February to the 15th February
please kindly advise @lekibobe @makano @ketima @frankrobnn @omiinii @osemigho @teemenzo

Visit your branch . They will pick up your file.

Imalaeta:
Please what is GIC

Guarantee investment certificate..

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/student-direct-stream/eligibility.html#GIC

Naheem4real:
but if I should fund the GIC account, I will not be able to use the NSE route?

NSE is sakamanje . IRCC hasn't been sending it for a while now.


Also GIC doesn't stop NSE.

matthew080:
Well done oooo my people
I get question pls

If my father send 16m to me as a proof,
Do I still need to show is own statement too


Thanks my people in advance

Show it if you can. But proof how he got the funds, what he does for a living with documented evidence.

Naheem4real:
Hi Legacy, pls I need your advice on this. I have made my full tuition deposit, and I am planning of applying through NSE route. My sponsor is willing to deposit a lump sum amount ($30,000) into my account and he his backing it up with giftdeed. Is that a red flag?

It's not a red flag. Kindly do 10,000 cad GIC from the fund if you can.

After tuition and gic. Officer will have no concern about lump sum. And your application response time will be faster.


Please mention it atleast 5 times in your SOP that you've paid your fees . It's a keyword .

bandel:
So when you pay the full tuition fee and GIC of 10k for living expense, the review is likely to be faster?

Yes. Much more faster

Malone122:
hi how’s it going please what is chinook software ?
Does the software access applications or

Hi Malon122, Chinook is the application/software being used to process applications by ircc.


Yes, they use the software to process applications. It works by copying informations on ircc forms, submitted docs, gcms and put applicants information on spreadsheet, making it easy for Visa Officer to see informations without going through entirety of the application or flipping through files. All informations about you is copied on the spread sheet like excel . It also pulls information from gcms, informations on the spreadsheets and copied it into gcms .

It gives ircc 100s of refusal reasons, reason we see so many gcms note looking exactly the same in wordings and sentences.

Omiinii:
I wouldn't want to say what you wrote here is wrong. But it's definitely not correct and I'll use myself for example. I got refused and my eligibility at the time I received my notes prior refusal was review required. In my pre-assesment the officer claimed to have verified all my documents including bank statements and Loa and said I was established in Nigeria. My case file was also chinooked as also seen in my second gcms I ordered after refusal. Based on all I've said you see it doesn't accurately tally with what you have described. No one knows exactly how IRCC operates.
Thank you

Thanks for your explanation boss. But in my submission above, the starting statement was " Most Study Permit application " . Meaning more than average, above average , certain percentage, not all, " larger numbers ".

We still have applications being processed manually, infact , Canadian Visa offices refused to use the Chinook software.


Will rather love to see the screenshot and how you knew you were chinooked.lolz .

We learn everyday boss. Everyone is currently studying the Chinook app including lawyers .


Also if you can study " Ocran vs Minister of immigration case " at the federal court. You will understand how ircc currently process applications.

The ircc witness who came to defend the Chinook software in his exhibit submitted " Daponte Affidavit " and his cross examination, he explained fully how the software works and how it processes applications. You can also read his cross examination by the applicant's lawyer during the Judicial Review processes. This might take more than 8 hours of your time though.

Nickoko:
It is so difficult to understand how IRCC operates. While lots of November applicants are worried that eligibility has not started and some have not even had their medical updated, I have a friend who applied on the January 15th using the old portal. His medical was updated on the 27th January and eligibility started today 9th February. Though this is his first study permit application, he was refused a tourist visa in 2019 on purpose of visa.

Yes boss, as explained earlier. They pick up files randomly in their 50s and 100s . How fast or slow depend on the officer working on the file. God should help us with good officers.

buckyfof:
I just got my gcms notes
October 14th applicant
2nd time applicant
And it's showing "review required"
Pre assessment notes is showing - "further review"

What can you guys make of it?

I'm i in trouble?

You don't have to be scared . Most Study Permit application gcms note comes out without pre-assessment note cos of batch processing by Chinook software used by ircc currently. They are doing away with the junior officers. Application gets processed in batches
on Chinook spreadsheet in 50-100 applications per page . So not having a pre-assessment note is not an issue.


If officer can't make decision instantly on your application due to bank statements confirmation, Loa confirmation, documents request etc. He will place your application on "review required" or "recommend interview " . He has 30 -60 days to get back to your file. The documents department will place the requested details on his/her action list after confirmation or your submission.


You will have to mail your visa office to remind them that your file recall is due if you didn't hear from ircc within 60days after the RR got updated.


Here is where paying tuition fee, doing gic, Mybankstatements ticket without lumpsum deposit comes to pay. From the testimonies on this thread, scholarship/funded applicants gets decision faster. Reason I decided to pay full tuition fee and additional 10,000CAD for living expenses. I got med request 10days after my file was re-opened with resubmission and PPR 10 days later. Total of 20 days. There's absolutely nothing the visa officer want to confirm from Bank again.

MsLoolah:
What if I don’t add him? But still change my school?? Because honestly I understand people wanting me to pay the 2.7m school fees I won’t be using in the future, but it’s a lot of money.

If I don’t add him but change my school and re apply for the visa, then he applies for Sowp. Would that work?

Madam, it seems you got the first visa on a platter of gold. I am sorry to say, you might not be as lucky as the first one.

I will rather say you continue with the current study in Canada, then apply for 2 years program in college since you already have masters.


Apply for visiting for Daddy (hubby) . Visiting visa currently takes 2-4 weeks with the new portal. On his arrival in Canada, then apply for in-canada sowp . It's better and faster that way.


Many of us went via court to get a Study permit. Please think it well.

emedon27:
Good day house am kind of new here. I applied for Canada study permit on the 3rd of July 2021 and got medical request on the 14th of October 2021 and I passed my medicals on the 22nd of October 2021 and updated on my page. Till today no correspondence, what could be the cause of the delay. I really need help because am getting depressed �.

Send email to Abuja. Ppr will drop.

Teemenzo:
Boss if truly you want to travel to canada. Don't think od changing any course at all. Get a new LOA and go to that school. Enjoy life, don't be bothered about the course you were supposed to study. See it as you trying "new waters". You will appreciate it more.

With that being said, when you dey comot? After you don land. Come and give us landing gist and send sweet to us in Nigeria through DHL. Ko ni buru fun gbogbo wa ooo.

You forgot to add " igi ewedu oni wo pawa o ".

And village people will not caught up with us.

khennyg:
Good evening guys.. thanks for the update and everything. Pls i need your help.
My application has been approved and my passport has been stamped but i want to change my course and school. What can i do. I want to change before i leave Nigeria or what can i do? Help!

You will have to apply for study permit again.

Please don't do this.


Contact your school to give you another LOA for same course.

Munaedo:
Good afternoon House. Pls I’m a first time applicant trying to put documents together for my study permit. My sponsor has all documents required of a sponsor except for Tax Clearance Certificate. Though he said he has applied but it’s yet to come out. Pls should I go ahead and apply and send d Tax Cert via webform when it comes out or wait until it comes out? My admission is for May and I maybe running short on time. Pls gurus in the house guide me @makano, @justmellow @ketima and others pls help me out as you response would be greatly appreciated

You do not need tax clearance to apply for study permit to Canada.


Goodluck

survivex:
My gurus in the house, I need your help.

I have a concern and I need your opinion.
As part of my proof of fund, I have about 13000 USD in crypto, I want to convert to Naira and used it for fees.
I also have some money geared up in my mutual fund and pension account.
My wife will also be used as my co-sponsor.

Please how do I present the financial evidence? Especially the 13k USD I will convert to naira?
Also, if I have an affidavit of sponsorship, do I still need to draft a letter of sponsorship?

Use it to pay your tuition fee. You don't need to show VO how you paid your tuition fee and GIC. All you need to show is the receipt.

OtunbaBlack:
Good morning guys, please I need help. I’m 24 going on 25 in few months and would want to start my study plans this year. The Issue now is I graduated with a 3rd class. Which means I can’t do masters cause my Cgpa is low. So I intend to go for Bsc study. Is this advisable? … please I could really use your inputs. What I need to gather and if starting a new course at 25 increases my visa chances

Bsc is 4 years .


Go for Post graduate diploma or post graduate certificates . Usually one or 2 years course.

Sheyman56:
Thank you so much. Would the last contract invoice and receipt enough?

As many as possible.

DamilareOla:
IT'S PPR Guys!!!!


I'm coming back to drop timeline.

For those expectant, it will come. Just trust God.

Congratulations

Good morning everyone.
My sponsor has a jointly owned business as stated on his CAC documents, but he will be using his personal account for me not the company bank account. Does he need to include invoices?

Yes, invoices. Receipts. Contract, bank reference letter for his business. Business account statements not needed.

smartz5311:
I got a NSF yesterday,. Evidence of any employment or further education undertaken since completing your degree in 2006. Examples of acceptable evidence includes - but is not limited to - company headed employment reference letters, signed and dated; payslips; official certificates or transcripts.
Please how do I go about this since I have been running my own Business since I graduated from school.
I was refused entry in 2018 on the basis that the VO wasn't satisfied with my application because she believed that the money in my account wouldn't be readily available for me for travel if giving Visa.
My question goes thus, Can I present an employment letter with my company letterhead? my problem now is that of pay slips cos I do not issue myself pay slips. what can I do about this. your contribution would go a long way .
thanks

1. Your CAC certificate.
2. Other cac documents
3. Corporate account statements
4. Business receipts
5. Business invoice

hayoBams:
Good afternoon everyone,

I registered my business name on CAC's website on the 4th of September 2019 of which it was active then.
So today I decided to check the validity of my CAC certificate prior to my son's study visa application, but surprisingly my business was tagged as inactive.
Would this be a problem to my son's application? as I am his sponsor.
If yes how can this issue be resolved

Yours is showing inactive.

Some people's own is not showing there at all and they got ppr .

ninab:
Hi
My spouse moved a lump sum to my account
I have paid tuition in full
He is supporting because I am going with 2kids
Should I use letter of support or gift deed
His company has given us a letter
He is giving his payslip also
And the transaction receipt
We not using his statement because he isn’t sponsoring just supporting
What else should I collect ?
The money would be there for Atlist a month before I apply

Lumpsum is lumpsum, no matter how long.


Let him write a support letter stating the amount sent, date and purpose with reasons.

Write in your own letter too, where you got the lump sum , and it's purpose .

Do not write the word " lump sum " in your SOP please. Just say so so so and so amount was transferred to me on ..... by.... for.... .

ShallyK:
Please I need help guys.
I got admission to Fanshawe College for one year PGC in Business Analytics, May 2022 and I have paid the tuition deposit.
I applied for study visa 29th Nov 2021 but got a rejection mail today based on financial status and personal assets.
I don't understand why the rejection because I submitted a personal statement of N12m, N2m sukuku bond certificate and I earn N560k monthly (attached my payslip).
I terminated my N5m Mutual funds in Oct 2021 to make up the N12m in my personal account but I didn't state this in my SOP because I felt it will be visible in the account statement where the lump sum came from. However, in December, I decided to send LOE for the N5m lump sum and also attached the statement of my Mutual funds account. This I sent via Web form and emails, not sure they got this because my profile was not updated nor did I receive any email on it.
Upfront medical submitted last Friday.
I'm confused on how to proceed. I want to order for my GCMS note, how long will this take if my Sis in Canada helps?
Should I go ahead and make the balance payment of my tuition?
Can I reapply without GCMS note using the new portal?
I moved N10m from my account back to mutual funds to earn some interest while waiting for the visa outcome... Now I have to terminate again so I can reapply.
NB: I still have a valid Canadian vist visa.
@Anon123 @justmellow @frankrobbn1 and all gurus, Kindly assist.

With this your way of moving funds.

What is in your gcms note is lumpsum deposit.


At this moment, to stand a better chance early.

Pay your one year tuition fee.

Do GIC if you can .


Visa officer won't have any concern about your funds again after you've done this.
