Good day fellow nairalanders,

It's in your LOA.

Hey guys,

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the burden of IRCC delay shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the delay shall be destroyed and crowned with ppr because of the anointing.

They said they've not sent it to Embassy. They collected my medical request and change the upfront umi to the medical request umi

Serious matter here, they said the x-ray report is always sent and interpreted at IOm nairobi. on Tuesday, I called iom nairobi, they said what iom Lagos told me is not possible. That the xray report had been sent to Embassy and can't be transferred to another IME.

I went back to IOM Lagos on Tuesday that IOM nairobi said what you told me was sakamanje.

The doctor said it's not their first time. That the Canadian radiographer will do it from his office. That it's an internal process.

I called nairobi back the following day and told them what's going on, that they should just reply iom Lagos that the transfer isn't possible.

Then I spoke with someone else who said it would be done. They transferred the radiography report same day to my IME.


January 18, 2022: Admission received

Jangolistic:
Good morning all,

I have a medical issue since August.
I went to
IOM for my medicals and I was told that they saw a trace of TB in my chest x-ray Nd I was told by the doctor that I should do sputum Nd culture text for 3 days which I did and that my result will be out in 2 months time , at end my result came out NEGATIVE as God may have it showing that am cleared from TB...but since then IRCC kept sending me for medicals till date.honestly am really confuse because I dnt no why the delay Nd all this for.i have even gothen a TB spechalist report which they requested for and send to them through IOM. Suprisenly they now send me another message again requesting for P.A chest x-ray that I have done before and got cleared by IOM.I have already summited my passport for visa stamping since August last year but because my medicals is not passed yet my passport is stil with them.

I need advices and solutions to my problem please because I don't really know if anyone have experience such before... please I need an answer to this problem or what I should do....like I said, have summited my passport already to them for visa stamping but my medicals is not yet passed Nd that is what is now delayin my visa stamping....I need ideas and solutions please.

This Iom again. Same way the Nurse said his parents has Hepatitis. I told them I don't, I was literally begging this people. They refused to send my result. They did the test, that one is more days again. They didn't even call me until I went there, the test came out negative.


Though the radiography department is in Nairobi.


I will rather say you should go to Qlife to do your test again.

Please forget all you've paid iom.

Perfectyyyyyy:
If they have only 12minutes to make decision, how come do you see someone eligibility review going on for weeks?

And sometimes they will and have not asked for any additional document.

You will have to read the post again sir. There's a place application complexity was mentioned.

Thamesbridge:
Please assist me with information

You do not need English language test for masters in Canada.


Find a school and go through their requirements.

Victoriaweb:
From Financial analytics to professional financial services, yes same duration

This is very okay sir.

CBSA might not even notice the changes or ask any question.

Victoriaweb:
����
I apologize, My school is just giving me headaches I can’t even celebrate the approval properly

OK nah. There will be no problem since you are not changing dli.


From what course to what course?.


Same duration?.

Victoriaweb:
Hi everyone, my application was approved last week, contacted my school and I was told I can’t join in on the January session, that’s to wait till September, My school suggested they have a course related to my course opened for May session. My school said as long as I am not changing DLI that it’s okay to change course. My concern is will it be a problem at the point of entry?

You told us when you were waiting for approval, But you forgot us when you got your ppr. We are hearing from you again because you have another question. We will talk after you drop your timeline. Welldone sir

themankelechi:
But why does eligibility review take time to start? My app is 2 months now and eligibility review is yet to start.

This depend solely on VO.

They might also not update it.


Officer is mandated to spend maximum of 11-12 minutes to assess application eligibility ( in-canada application) . This might be same for other countries too.


Then, when it's complex or they can't make decision immediately, or there's need for documents confirmation/clarification, banks statement etc. They place it on recommend interview/ Review required.

The officer got 30-60 days to check back your file again.


If there's new documents request,


It will be uploaded on the VO action list. VO got 30-60 days to attend to it. It might be earlier though .


It is better to upload all documents request fast before VO leaves his current Chinook spreadsheet.

themankelechi:
I've seen from someone's timeline on this thread who got medical request and the day it was uploaded to pass, eligibility started same day.

What I meant is that, it is after eligibility is passed that VO sends Medical request.

Also you won't see this in your mycic account, it will be in your gcms note.


Eligibility was just not updated by the deciding officer.

Gennyoma19:
Obibaby eligibility has not started. Just got medical request yesterday

You get medical request after you must have passed eligibility.

baddestguy:
Good day to you and all.
Pls . I am in my 30s and I finished with a 2.2 so I applied for a post graduate certificate business and management, i work at the bank, i was just given admission with a scholarship of 5000 dollars for sep intake 2022.
My question is my course in school was political science but ended up in d bank now for 9 years ( 2 different banks in d space if 9 years) Does what I studied in school and my choice of study in d canadian school affect my visa chances.

It won't affect it . Your working experience is related to your course. It is more than enough for you.

I’ve been finding it hard logging into my account for days now. Sometimes it takes like 10 trials before I can even get to log in. Anyone else experiencing this?

Clear your cache and browsing history.

Better done with chrome

ifechidi:
Tuition fee was paid in full and a bank draft for PTA was raised in my name. That's not the issue. I just think they are questioning the obligation of my employer on why he has to sponsor me.

3rd party funds, insufficient proof of relationship of 3rd party funds. This is straightforward sir.

Visa officer is trying to ignore evidence on file.


Attach your school receipt, repeat and boldly underline that your sponsor had paid your school fee . Show evidence of living expenses too. Point out your findings on your gcms note.


Title it updated Letter of explanation and tuition receipt.


Send via mail and webform to both nairobi and ircc direct.


Make sure they confirm receipt.

ifechidi:
Hi gurus in the house, please I need you to explain what this means. I submitted my study visa application since 14th of May 2021, have done upfront medicals which has been updated, and awaiting a decision. I am being sponsored by my employer who gave me all d CAC documents, bank letters, SOA, notorized affidavit of sponsorship, a draft cheque in my name. Today I received my Gcms notes from CBSA and this was the pre-assment note from the VO attached. My application is still in progress, but I need to know if there's anything I need to add via we form to counter what was noted.

Pay your tuition fee sir. This will address the pre-assessment concers.

Victodan:
Good evening everyone. Pls I am a new member and I needed help on how to write letter of explanation so that my study permit won't be denied. I have HND in accounting and has gotten admission to study Bsc Economics.
I am married with 3 children. My husband has a registered company in which I am also a director ,but my husband uses his personal account to run the business because he has
Issues with scuml. My parents have a registered private school. The issue is that l don't have a salary account. l was running a coaching center which is not registered.The questions are (1) can my husband use his personal account to sponsor me by linking the fund in it to his company? (2) do l need to also present my statement of account since l don't have much money there

Present your husband's personal bank statement, business documents and receipts, contracts. His company account isn't needed.

Present your own statement too.

mamaamanda:
Good evening all.

Please am at a cross road and will need people that had similar experience to advice me.

I got admission to Fanshawe College and was given 30days to pay admission deposit or lose my seat.

A started this online Form A and my bank has not be able to complete the process ( story for another day).

The 30 says expired yesterday and I got a mail that the admission has been cancelled.

I sent a mil to the school explaining my plight and got a response that " as at now there is still a spot for me to make payment but can close anytime" no time limit was given and again flywire generated payment advice also expired.

I don't know if I should still go on with the payment with the expired flywire details as this has been inputed into the system and approved by CBN just for my bank to disburse and if the school will still offer me the spot or I should cancel the whole process.

I need urgent advice please �

Faster approach if you can afford it. Use BDC dollar from market.

dfad:

Good evening house. I got a medical request today but when I submitted my application in November I submitted an upfront medical that is valid till April this year.

I DON’T KNOW IF I SHOULD DO ANOTHER MEDICAL. THIS IS MY 3rd APPLICATION.

Upload your upfront medical immediately.


Congratulations.

The rate at which nairalanders discourage JR is unfair . Seems we are not concerned about incoming generations and those behind us. We need to end this our suffering and smiling way of life.

Indians and other countries held them by the balls for many years via JR. Today, the new generation are enjoying it. Reduced flimsy excuses, increased approval rate, 2 weeks study permit timeline. Judicial review also expand your knowledge of immigration laws, discover abnormalities. You walk through it with your lawyer.


Most of the reasons stated to refused Africans are unreasonable. Which judge mostly insult them before sending them for a re-determination.


Truly, JR is not for the faint hearted, filled with uncertainty, anxiety, cost etc, But has so many advantages for the incoming applicants as far as Africa is concerned.


If you have the money for JR, please go for it. Be the voice to your country , be the voice to the voiceless Africa.


Most unreasonable reasons we celebrate, promote and made our own immigration law can't stand the test of JR. E-G


Career progression

Something like having Masters and going for ordinary diploma is Canada.

Based on the Canadian immigration law, there's no place given to Visa Officer's to decide students career. Your career progression is left for the school to decide, if school decided to give you letter of acceptance, it's none of Visa Officer's business to comment on your progression or qualifications for the course. A federal court rule below on that.


Secondly , I disagree with the Respondent’s argument that the decision is otherwise reasonable. Having reviewed the Applicant’s educational plan myself, it is clear that at no point does she ask for career counseling advice. Yet this Visa Officer apparently fancied the opportunity to assume the role of career counsellor and opine that the Applicant’s intended studies in Canada would not enhance her work for her brother. Such extraneous considerations make it obvious that the Visa Officer engaged in an unreasonable review of the evidence.


This is straightforward and clear. The judge called that unsolicited career counseling



Proof of fund

Below is IRCC’s own study permit guidelines



Students are required to demonstrate financial sufficiency for only the first year of studies, regardless of the duration of the course or program of studies in which they are enrolled. In other words, a single student entering a four-year degree program with an annual tuition fee of $15,000 must demonstrate funds of $15,000 to satisfy the requirements, and not the full $60,000 which would be required for four years. Officers should be satisfied however that the probability of funding for future years does exist (i.e., parents are employed);




Proof of employment is enough to demonstrate next year tuition fee. Whereas, someone was refused here in September for not having funds for whole course.

This person actually showed 150,000CAD balance in his father's account. Cost of whole course is less than 50,000CAD plus living expenses.



Third party sponsor (uncle) , personal assets, establishment in home country


Below is a Federal court of Canada rule on that.


In my view, the Officer’s finding that the Applicant had insufficient funds to support his studies is not justified in light of the uncle’s signed declaration and evidence indicating his financial stability and willingness to support the Applicant, including his commitment to offer the Applicant employment once he completes his studies.

[22] I also agree with the Applicant’s submission that the Officer’s reasoning that his uncle’s funds could be withdrawn at any time is speculative and that the Officer arrived at this conclusion without providing a rationale. This is a ground for setting aside the decision (Huot v Canada (Citizenship and Immigration) 2011 FC 180, at para 26).



 I also disagree with the Respondent’s argument that it was reasonable for the Officer to find that there is little incentive for the Applicant to return to Mauritius after his studies. As the Applicant’s counsel argued during the hearing, the Applicant has provided elaborate reasons about his intention and ability to study in Canada. The Applicant has also been transparent that he is not wealthy, but has taken steps to secure the financial assistance of his uncle.

[28] As the Applicant’s counsel rightly noted, the Applicant is fortunate to have an uncle who is willing to fund his studies in Canada so that he may obtain credentials that are highly valued in Mauritius. It is uncontroversial that many students often rely on family members to help fund their post-secondary studies. Here, the Respondent attempts to assert otherwise, seemingly on the grounds that the Applicant comes from a less affluent background. This reasoning is absurd and perpetuates stereotypes about those who consistently face barriers to accessing higher education. The Applicant has clearly demonstrated that he has secured the funds to finance his studies. The fact that he comes from a lower-income background should not preclude him from seeking out and accessing educational opportunities.

[29] I find that the Officer failed to take into account the totality of the evidence before them and came to an unreasonable conclusion.


See the bolded knockouts by the deciding Judge.

olabisi6438:
Guys goodday I was refused today.
Oct 31 applicant.

However I think I was wrongly refused.

The closing balance was 20m, my dad did a gift deed of 2m and I didn't specify anyone will be accompanying me.

Please can I ask for a judicial review?? How much would an immigration lawyer cost?

Will you like to join our JR group?


Everyone can share you their experiences and how it is going. Then you will make your choice.
