GentleBobo:


Are you sure this portal is for study visa application or It is restricted to visitor visa application?

Yes. You can try it out.


Just play with it.


You will see study permit there .


It transfers application details directly to Chinook software spreadsheet . Instead of transferring from gcms when imm forms are used. You will also get your application summary in PDF for your own record.

Kam3:
Thank you.
Will the previous account be linked with this new one?

You can't link previous application to it. It's a simple and straightforward portal.

But your UCI will appear.

Kam3:
Can you please send the link of the new portal?

I was refused last year but I will be reapplying by February, can I use the new portal as well or can I just go to my portal and reapply?

Hello,
I want to apply for my study permit late February, and I would like to know if I can download my imm forms and start filling it tomorrow..I hope it wouldn't affect anything.

Use the new portal .


There will be no need for forms.

Opsy14:
Hi good afternoon.
Please I have a concern that is urgent. I received procedural fairness letter from IRCC after receiving request letter. Unfortunately I didn't know about it and the deadline for me to submit an explanation letter has passed. I just decided to go behind my agent's back and finally got access to the application today, that's when I saw the letter. The deadline date was December 21st. But fortunately a decision has not yet been made on the application. Please what do I do now because I'm emotionally distressed and confused and scared. Please what do I write to them because I have no idea which payment method my agent used and he is refusing to tell me about it. Please how do I explain and pay the new fee. Your response would be greatly appreciated �

At this stage, we have to beg him.


Give me his phone number let me call him.

BabajhideySammy:
Hi people, is Correspondence Letter a good sign?

PPR loading within same time frame

ManLikeMace:


They didn’t do a re-application. My whole process was really transparent. I got all the letters from IRCC and had them Signed myself. So no it wasn’t a reapplication.

Not what you are thinking bro.


There's no letter from IRCC during JR sir. Aside rule 9 note/gcms received via court order. Other letters are from agent/lawyers .


The hallmark is that you've gotten PPR which is great.



But we can also use your JR timeline to checkmate our own too .


Also there's a lawfirm compiling gcms with interest with one that went via JR in a bid to catch IRCC Chinook software used in processing applications which is the refusal notes generator.



The exercise cut across people from different countries. You can read others gcms file if skeptical.

If I say I remember I dey lie. I never spoke to him/her once. I just got the forms and the letter, read them thoroughly, notarized my documents and had them sent back. I trusted the lady at infoplace Canada because we had been talking for about 2 years.

Btw I’m not promoting them o. Just explaining how I went about my JR

Okay boss... If you paid 4k cad . Ugo did it.


Ogayemi fee is 3500 but in USD.


Unless infoplace did a re-application instead.


All this can be unravalled with a single name though.

ManLikeMace:


The whole process took about a year to be honest and I got my lawyer through infoplace Canada. I started November last year and got my visa November this year lol

Who is your lawyer?.

Ugo or Ogayemi?

Hello Pipz

Sorry to tell you this, but this application won't fly..

A 37-year-old going for an Undergraduate Diploma is a total red flag, what's wrong with applying for a PGD or PGC?

He has a third-class doesn't mean he can't get a PGD admission in any of the good colleges In Canada.. Now you are planning on hiding his 2 undergraduate degrees in Nigeria, meaning you will have a lot of explaining to do as regards his study gaps during that period he was doing his undergraduate studies... Do not complicate things for yourself bro,I will be truthful to you,this application won't fly, It's only an agent that is just after your money that will give you this kinda advice..

This is what you will do, since you have 2 undergraduate degrees, one with a 3rd class, the other with a 2:2. You can apply for a PGD admission with the 2:2 UDD, even 3rd class graduates get PGD admission.. Having a PGD admission at his age and stage in life will fly than going for another undergraduate diploma after 2 previous Undergraduate degrees at the age of 37 years...

This is my advice, as you can choose to take it or not...

Peace

It's not within the Visa Officer's power to determine academic progression, choice of courses and level.


January 9, 2019. In the case of Adom v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), Federal court Honorable Mr. Justice Ahmed ruled that Visa Officer's should refrain from such" CAREER COUNSELING " . Text below .


" Second, 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"



We've also seen people with masters getting Permit for ordinary diploma . Seems this changes started recently.


Applicant’s can quote that federal court decision to back up his/application. Pipz

Case details below

mrprolifik:

If he has already gotten the visa and still hasn't travelled to Canada then he is required to inform IRCC before he travels to Canada of his intention to switch program .
Just telling you this so as to prevent him from getting into serious trouble.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/change-schools.html

Baba.. ABSOLUTELY NO .


@ Ybahrbz91

If he dare change school . He will have to start the visa processes again .

He has one year to enter Canada.


Let him do his school/course switching inside Canada.

HakHim:
Hello good morning everyone good morning to all the gurus as well.

It will be a long post and please I really need guidance and help/ advice.

Kindly read.

I have gotten two refusals.

My first application.....

I applied first early this year. Self sponsored. 18M in three banks all statements attached, but had lump sum deposit in one of them (sold some assets).

HERE WAS THE REFUSAL REASONS

"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 in your family ties in Canada and 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 personal asset and financial status."

REQUESTED GCMS....

HERE IT IS......

PA is self funded. Employment letter shows PA makes 16,000 annually. Funds provided are not commensurate to PA income. Transaction on bank statement shows lump sum deposit. Source of funds unknown. Concerns about funding. Bank statement to be verified.

{[/b] please note that in my SOP I stated there the businesses that I do I attached CAC OF MY COMPANY I ALSO PUT THE RECEIPT OF ALL EQUIPMENT THAT I HAVE FOR MY BUSINESS, so my only source was not just my salary, but I think I was judged based on only my salary as my only source of income}[b]

HERE IS THE REPORT FROM IMMIGRATION AND BORDER CANADA

"I have reviewed the application. the applicant is seeking to study in Canada. I am not satisfied that the applicants will leave Canada at the end of their stay as a temporary residence. I note that the client is single, mobile, is not well established and has no dependents. taking the applicants plan of studies into account the documentation provided in support of the applicants financial situation does not demonstrate the funds will be sufficient or available. I am not satisfied that the proposed studies would be a reasonable expense weighing the factors in this application I am not satisfied that the applicant will adhere to the terms and conditions imposed as a temporary residence. For this reason above I have refused this application."

SECOND APPLICATION.....

I submitted LOE, I explained the source of income, I gave a detailed financial table that shows how much I make from each equipments and how much I have in the bank. I used a sponsor (cousin) this time around he has 13M balance and sent me 2.6M for my first semester tuition.

I paid first semester tuition. I still submitted my personal bank statement of 17M. They verified my bank account from the first application and I also reminded them that the funds are still very much there seated for months now that it is mine....

Yet I still got a refusal ... Here is the reasons again from my refusal letter. I just requested for my gcms note

"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 in your family ties in Canada and 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 personal asset and financial status.".......


I ORDERED GCMS FOR THE SECOND APPLICATION, HERE IS WHAT IT SAYS....

[b]I HAVE CONSIDERED THE POSITIVE FACTORS OUTLINED by THE APPLICANT, INCLUDING STATEMENTS OR OTHER EVIDENCE.

THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED A REASON FOR THEIR VISIT TO CANADA

HOWEVER I HAVE GIVEN LESS WEIGHT TO THE POSITIVE FACTORS FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS

I NOTE THAT THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO SELF SPONSOR,

HOWEVER GIVEN THAT INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE OF ALTERNATIVE INCOME HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED THE FUNDS AVAILABLE DON'T APPEAR TO BE COMMENSURATE TO HIS MONTHLY INCOME HENCE THE SOURCE OF FUNDS IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT IS NOT CLEAR INCLUDING ITS AVAILABILITY TO SUPPORT THE APPLICANT STUDY IN CANADA

I ALSO NOTE THAT THE APPLICANT COUSIN INTEND TO CO-SPONSOR studies however given the evidence of relationship/connection to third-party sponsor and the history of financial support are not sufficiently substantiated,I have concerns about the credibility of the sponsorship, limited obligation for the 3rd party sponsor to provide ongoing financial support.

based on the review of this document presented in support of this application the application appears not to be well established in the home country

I am not satisfied that the applicant to leave Canada at the end of their stay as temporary resident, I note that the applicant is not well established in home country has not demonstrated proof of dependent dependents. given the lack of family ties or economic motives to remain in home country the applicant incentives to remain in Canada may outweigh their ties to their home country

Weighing the factors in the application I am not satisfied that the applicant will depart Canada at the end of the period authorised for their stay

for the reasons above I have refused this application.[/b]


Please can you advice or let me know what next to do.... As I have addressed the concerns from the first application I even used a sponsor this time around.....

You've tried . But since your source of funds is still being questioned.


Pay tuition fee for first year or the whole course .

Do 10k CAD GIC .

There will be no more concern on funds availability .



Work on the available ties. Social and economic ties .

Omiinii:
I see! you're making sense but do you know what again I noticed. In a GCMS notes we have about 5-9 sections/sub-sections depending on the type of application (some parts may be blank for some applications e.g express entry and some won't).

That our CODE(AH03849) updated your ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT. That changes things meaning it's not a body only responsible for an applicant's finances. All other sub sections of your notes(client details, criminality and medicals) was from different codes till boom you go rejected by the code that updated the most important section of your application. YOUR ELIGIBILITY!! .... putting 2 and 2 side by side it's evidence that that code is the code of the senior immigration officer not a body.
From the things we know, we are aware that only a senior officer can make a final decision on an application. That futher disqualifies the assumption that it's a body that focuses on finances of PA

Visa officers identity code starts with the initials of the first and last name, then numbers ... AH ( Adam Hedson .

makano:
Hello House

Of recent, we have been having complaints of this particular Visa Officer (AH03849), of how he/she refuses applications for no just reasons.. I do not wanna believe this Visa Officer is all about refusals, so I want us to do our home work as regards his/her operation and it will take our cooperation here to achieve this..

Now, this goes to the applicants here that were approved, and this will be like a give back from you to the thread that has helped you get your Visa. Now please order for your GCMS notes and when its ready share with us on this thread, let us see if this is the same Visa Officer(AH03849) that approved your application or not...

With this, we will also know if this particular Visa Officer is in charge of Nigerian applicants.. I know the approved applicants will say what is the point of ordering my GCMS notes when I have already gotten my Visa, please note you are doing the good of this thread that has blessed you with so much information prior to the time you got your Visa..

On behalf of this thread, I appeal to the approved applicants here to order for their GCMS notes, so we can carry this survey on the operation of this particular Visa Offier..

I know these Officers are watching us here, so let us make a point..

Peace

Same officer refused my application.

Submitted sponsor's savings and fixed deposit account.


She said " funds seems available, but there's concern about company funds".


She just fabricated reasons. She refused me on wrong reasons.


They will soon sack him/her, I know about 5 JR already on her decisions and many unknown cos she's costing the government funds to defend her cases.



After a while, maybe we will compile 5 mails of lawyers in department of justice in Toronto and Alberta and mail them individually.

kemmyk:
Quickly raise a webform and also fill the imm form to indicate the refusal, do that on time and also prepare your mind for what might be the outcome. Exact thing happened to me and what worked for me was the webform I raised which I used for my JR.

Kindly tell us how your JR ended. If still ongoing. Tell us.


Thanks

RollyA:
You didn’t understand me, I’m saying the visa officer referring to your funds as being in a company account is an error.

Please are you going for JR then, how long did it take for your notes to get out. My lawyer is also waiting for my notes.

My application was refused 18 days ago


Jr Rule 9 note ( gcms note)

14 days after payment.

7 days after Court sent filling documents to lawyer and ircc

RollyA:
I later read that it was the visa officers error.

If you can afford it, just JR. Likes of Ugo and Ogayemi will gladly take your case if they feel you did justice with your application.

The visa officer reason uploaded is a certified court copy .


Application just got refused 7th Sept. Gcms wouldn't have been out this time.

RollyA:
Same bloody reason, not really different. And I think it’s the same visa officer cos that code is familiar, I will check and revert.

Was there a board resolution? I duno. My advise, share your profile with a lawyer. The annoying part is once it’s like this, they may use same reason to deny in your next application. If you can afford it, please consider it.

Board resolution?.


I never submitted company account.


Submitted my Dad's savings account

Legacyedition:
Application refused based on personal assets and financial status.

Thank you all for your message.


Application refusal reason just arrived.


This visa officer actually refused this application intentionally or didn't check the documents or he was daydreaming.



"All available funds were in savings account"


I meant all available funds for study were in personal savings account. I didn't even submit sponsors business account.

My people.


How una dey?. The ministry is moving.

Application refused based on personal assets and financial status.

GOD IS GREAT! I couldn't have done it without His grace over me throughout the journey even when I lost hope on the application. I remember finding this thread 3 days after submitting my application, and I felt bad because I made alot of mistakes and didn't include alot of documents in my application, I wanted to withdraw the whole application, but after reading through the thread, I got an insight that all applications are different, any application can be approved or declined, even the ones you least expect, so I became calm and waited. Your Testimony too is neigh, just be calm.

My Tips (From my Experience);
1) Apply for your study VISA at least 6 months before your School's resumption date.
2) When your Application has exceeded 3/4 months without any update, I suggest you send them mails or webforms 3 weekdays in a week between 5am-7am till you get your VISA decision (Your tone in the E-mails should be extremely polite).
3) When your Application has exceeded 3/4 months, you can try sending a mail to an MP (Member of Parliament) of where your school is located in Canada to help you out. Although not all would be willing to help (Mine wasn't).
4) After your Application, only send documents through Webforms when it is very necessary or sent for by your V.O because most times, these documents lead to major delays in your VISA decision.

I hope this helps alot of people.

Congratulations. It's a long wait...

Hello My People.
Please I need your advice.
I said it here last week that I got a medical request for IRCC after I have done an upfront medical examination which it was updated to Pass on my timeline/profile.
I have raised a webform showing evidence of the upfront medical examination I did but I have it gotten any response nor seen changes.
Should I go and do another medical examination or what's your advice for me please ?

Contact the hospital if they've sent the medicals to ircc. If yes,


Send the slip by mail and webform. Also write out the unique number on the slip.


Send to both Lagos and nairobi.
