Documents overload may work against you, my opinion. So if possible just put what directly is relevant to validate your claims and attach the table of content to make it organized for the officer reviewing them

Chuksiesmom:
Yes. You can include them in the other sections. To make it easy for the vo to understand, kindly put a table of content before each section to make it easy for the vo to know what documents are there. Hope this helps.

If you have backup explanation for the lump sum then no problem . For me my sponsor had 22k US dollars and gave me his bank statement which I used in January. From January to now is a long a period or time, so I asked him to send me 2.4 million into my account yesterday , and he also reprinted his bank statement showing 20k US dollars, I also went to my PFA to get a new letter which showed an improved pension fund from 2.3M in January when I submitted it the first time to 2.8M yesterday and that I can access 25 percent of it. Also the money I had in my two accounts have been there since January to now and I have also done transactions in my account since January to now. Also it was after I submitted my application that I paid my tuition balance of 7900 Cad from the same account. And then got a new leave letter from my company showing new dates because I had to defer from APril to September since my visa no come out since

You n I are in the same shoe. Applied January 4th. Eligibility started May 4 , ordered for 3rd GCMS note May 5th, and then yesterday I sent them my updated bank statement and POF and then today I sent them my personal property documents, gift deed of land n property and the documents from my dad and attached photos of me n my Dad and also of my mum then my dad’s age declaration and my own via webform n via email. I no wan hear story, I wan try seal up the ones I no put initially.
Tomorrow I will send them by school transcripts, secondary school transcript , my expired IELTS general training Cert of 2018, English language proficiency letter from my school and additional professional certification, I didn’t put all these things before , I only uploaded my school certificate. And my previous two GCMS notes didn’t say anything apart from background info sharing complete. So waiting up till now is God, and my 3rd GCMS note will come next 2 weeks, and with eligibility already started after 5 months then it means any moment decision can come out , so since I never see GCMS note then make I Kuku de send them Wetin I get

NBCC will request the scratch card from you if you don't include it in your application.

You will reply them through the email they use in correspondence with you.

ItzRay:
Congratulations and may the land of Canada favour you, amen!
I'll testify soon too.

Ketima:
Hello,

As at yesterday, USD$ is 415 and CAD$ is 332 at StanbicIBTC which I used for someone. So it can't be 575 for form A

Ketima:
Hello Uzoamaka,

The bolded is a wise idea, don't waste your dollar by paying tuition using your dollar when you can make use of CBN form A at a cheaper rate. You have already done the maths to know the difference. So go with your plan.

vtino13:
It's not compulsory but if added it makes your documents arranged in an orderly manner, the VO can locate specific documents easily

verybadmouth:
Hello guys I am new to the process. I wish to apply for masters but I need information on cheap or low tuition universities and also how to get scholarship. I will be very grateful to get a kind response.

BACKGROUND
I started following this thread In 2018,that time ehn refusal rate was high,And processing time na die!.I got discouraged,I decided to try visiting visa and was denied twice,then I gave up on Canada.Last year I decided it was time to Japa.Masters in UK was the plan I was already in the process when i realized I could actually just try Canada first.I immediately came back and started reading this thread,I contacted one of your favorites here to handle my application but unfortunately I was refused.I dusted myself up,encouraged myself by myself immediately based on knowledge gathered here,I did my thing myself this time,wrote a New SOP(when Gcms came,they said my study plan was poorly documented and vague!),if only VO knew how much I paid e no go talk that rubbish…lol.Well I gathered all the missing documents,I knew could address the concerns and refired.

What I did differently
1. I included my CV(I had seen people get PPR without submitting it,so I didn’t add it in the first app).

NOTE: Na God dey give PPR in all.There is nothing like too much documents,just ensure it’s relevant to prove your case,I added only the basics in the first application and I thought my app was well packaged but basics didn’t work for me,even the SOP by a guru who handled my app from start to finish didn’t cut it.Imagine all the extras I needed to prove my case,things that I never even attached much importance to,when I read timelines of people who added all these documents,I felt like they were doing the most but see me,I ended in those same shoes.
To add,one of my Gcms notes,also came in today.
Best wishes to everyone praying and believing God for PPR …May the Same joy locate you.

hayoBams:
Good day everyone,

So I just submitted my study permit application yesterday (may 14th) I pray it'll end in praise for all of us.

yyeskez:
I'm not too sure about that one so I'd say you should get consultancy.

But sha the way I see it, it's like you had 2 properties tying you down at your home country. If you sell 1, your liquid funds increase, but your home ties have reduced. In any case, the 1 property should still serve as a strong tie. If you have your immediate family living in Nigeria even better. From what I understand, the visa officer will weigh everything up and see if your tendency to japa is high, if it is then ... wahalur

Thefil:
Thank you omiinii for your response

yyeskez:
This might not play so well in your favor in the end: "Owning property indicates strong home ties, selling it indicates japa tendencies." This is the case even when you're trying to use the sale of the land as part of your P.O.F. So I was told sha , I no be consultant...

makano:
Yes you can, no issues..

And hope IRCC won't request for an updated SOA...

Peace

JustMellow:
Hello Lezy,

An affidavit is a legal document and may not be enough to help the officer to assess your income stream(s) and its reliability. Provide financial documentation that will help demonstrate that your funds come in continually in amounts that are not irregular.

It could be a contract agreement, sales & invoice receipt, investment certificate, business registration certificate, employment information, etc. Given the sum being talked about is huge, documentation that covers the business transaction will be required.


Best of Luck

JustMellow:
Hello Geekly44,

Only if you have sufficient justification otherwise, it will be classified as a borrowed or arranged (lump) sum.


Best of Luck

gascoigne462:
Please oo I still haven’t gotten any answers to these questions. They might have been answered in previous posts but please help ooo

I’m in the process of filling out my IMM forms and I have few questions.
1. Funds available for my stay? I was admitted to a 2 year course. Should I show for the first year or both years?
2. How do I sign the IMM 1294 and Family Information IMM 5645 forms?
I’m using the GCKey portal

Please kindly help answer these important questions. TIA

ami213:
Please reapply using the new portal with recent documents, you are not losing any spot. You will get a quicker response with the new portal. I did same thing as well.

You can’t link the two applications together. The GCkey is different from the new portal.

You do not have to contact IRCC.

You can have two applications running concurrently. You can’t apply for SOWP using the new portal, it is for SP and VV.

Venekconsultt:
Hmmm I have been avoiding the late talk which are faults of agents for applicants as it hurts. There's no room to rush for but yet carelessness takes the day(SAD). if the visitors form is yet to be submitted I'll say you get on the correction noted on your travel history and stating and ending your degree. However if you r yet to set out on your travel visa I'll advise u don't apply for the student visa yet till after ur travel application but if you had already completed ur travel visa period n wants to embark on the study route, I'll advise you seek out for an edit on your application.
1- YES tick the yes option(from your 4 travels)
2- YES ALSO FILL ALL CORRECT/ TRUTH IN THE FORMS FOR STUDY ROUTE WHICH YOU AIM TO EMBARK ON.
3- I don't think it's necessary ur company writes VO on your salary stuff. if indeed you have sufficient funds or a sponsor.
No doubt your study route will not be an easy one(I don't wanna scare you) but you just have to take any single opportunity you got and THE TRUTH THROUGH OUT THE STUDY APPLICATION TO ME IS THE BEST SHOT.

Any further thing that needs clarity(should the VO asked) can be answered (in a well confident manner) upon request during interview. Finally avoid going into quarrel with your agent and rather channel such strength on your study route as it's a long way ahead.
KEEP YOUR APPLICATION GOING WITH FINGERS CROSSED

CharitoJames:
For someone who has traveled in the past and to 4 countries... please what then is rock science about running your application yourself? At least know your login details so you can access every info yourself. Wait for the gurus... i no be guru

Faith550:
Please you guys should help me.Which card should I use to pay for my study visa permit as all the cards in Nigeria has limits of 20$

Gokoyer1401:
Do you have any real estate properties? Don't forget your family also. Add any other things that might strengthen your home ties to Nigeria and explain your situation regarding the salary.
This my take on this.
