Pls what are you using to search, the least fare I saw on Egypt Air app is $1,871.81, most airlines with less fare has transit in USA and one will be needing transit visa to go with such airlines. Kindly suggest cheaper airlines one can use and won't be needing transit visa . Thank you

DaSugarBoi:

If u get a good rate for conversion from the airline ,the 1k is still fair ooo. I booked via travelstart for 526k tho na Aug I select sha

I miss those days of coming here to ask and answer questions regarding Canada student visa. It’s almost a year since I arrived in Canada and what I have achieved, I don’t know if I will be able to achieve it in Nigeria in the next 5 years. I was lucky to get a job at Coca-Cola which I receive $20.3 per hour. I have successfully paid my fees of 8k for September term and looking forward to pay January fees before the end of August.
Why I’m sharing this is because, I want you all to put more effort in your journey to Canada if being on a student visa can change my life in less than a year with all the regulations associated with student visa, imagine if it was a work permit.
Disregard those who discouraged people about the cold …that same cold I walk on it to work.

Text me when you arrive in Canada. I want to see your smile
#Edmonton,Alberta

What date and month did you choose when you book? Because I discovered date closer to first of September is on the high side

Philthomas649:
I booked it myself, albeit a one way ticket, not a round trip. I guess that's why it's cheaper

Please dear kindly assist with what documents you sent to VFS and how you got the VFS consent form pls.
Thank you dear.

Greetings Nairalanders, pls assist me with the requirements and procedures for sending passport to VFS for visa stamping. My friend recieved her PPR and doesn't know how to go about it.

Pls how can I repackage the whole thing?

I have job, family( aged parents and siblings) I'm not married, I do not have properties in my name but my mum and brother has, can I tell them to transfer them to me . I actually have been involved in the community activity where we visited some villages providing health education , checking their vital signs etc what can I use as an evidence . Can pictures of the exercise do??

So sorry about the outcome of your application,your time is coming and very soon shall it be.

If your refusal was only on the ground of fund insufficiency then I don't think you need to order for gcms note (it's direct enough) and you surely know the solution.

1. There's no harm in changing your sponsor, especially If your sponsor's financial status hasn't improved significantly over time. You can also have more than a single sponsor.

2. It doesn't matter, you'll repackage the whole thing.

3. Your job/ business, family, properties and investments and community involvement .

4. This one dey God's hand o, IRCC is highly inefficient and they have no guiding rules. You might be lucky to get a speedy response though, but no one can tell.

5. Please go ahead with the medicals, although it has nothing to do with the outcome but it helps with the process.

6. Please stay strong, keep your eyes focused on the dream, never stop being hopeful and most importantly, never stop thanking God. We will all celebrate with you las-las.
It will surely end in praise.

Thank you so much

mastersammy:


Pls don't be in a haste to reapply bcus you don't want to miss January class bcus by doin so your applying blindly.
You need to order for your Gcms note, so that you will get to see the VO final remarks in your app and the comprehensive refusal reasons made in it, this way it will enable you to repackage your app and correct all the refusal reasons and retire your application immediately.
Secondly, if you plan on changing your sponsor make sure you state the reason why you want to change sponsor using your Sop, bcus ircc already have your details .
Thirdly, Gcms note takes maximum of 40days to be available but at times it use to be more than that. I advise you to have the patience and wait for your Gcms note, so that you will make corrections.
If you apply for Gcms now I doubt if you will meet up for January intake but nevertheless you can go ahead and reapply, just incase if you don't meet up with January intake, you can still defer your Admission again to summer intake.
Fourthly, using your job alone as home ties is not enough, you need to add more economic ties.
Are you married, you can use your family as home ties, do you have any personal asset or any investment or you have a house registered in your name, you can use these to add strength to your home ties.

Thank you dear

KellyKk:

Lilian sorry about your refusal, Trust me the lord is your strength, my own little knowledge though , if there is another chance of differing to May2022 intake that will be fine . Within these periods you will be able to order your GCMS notes and see the VO concern about your application. I don’t think January 2022 will work-out because you will have to wait for your note a month and few weeks and you know it take IRCC almost four months to finalize application these days. My little knowledge though . Await other gurus opinions

Gurus in house help me out , Abeg , pls

Good morning dear nairalanders, the long wait ended today with refusal with reasons insufficient fund and home ties
App 27th of April
BVL 18th of August
Refusal 9th of September

My classes has resumed on the 1st of September , so I deferred the admission to January 2022 due delay of the application processing which has been approved but I'm yet to get the new LOA , will be getting it before next week ends according to my college.
I want to reapply to meet up with January 2022, I want to order for the GCMS but from the comments I have been seeing here, its seems it takes more than a month and we have less than four months to January.
I didn't do upfront medical initially, booked for the upfront after I joined this thread and the appointment is scheduled to be on the 30th of September.
Questions
1) Can I change my sponsor
2) I had gift deed of 2m but the fund is no longer in the account
3) I use my Job as home ties and how I intend to give back to my society upon my return, its a one year health care leadership programme that i applied for. what other thing can I use as my home ties
4) Can I still meet up with January if I reapply
5) should I still go ahead and do the medical exam I booked
I don't even know what to think again [/quote]

Hello Lilian

You do not need to be confused,

When you get your new LOA, upload it to IRCC(via Webform and also Email Address) with an explanation that you deferred your admission and attached is the updated LOA, do not inform them of your deferral if you haven't gotten your LOA..

Also as regards your PPR coming before your deferral, please note that in most cases, IRCC wont approve an application whose LOA is outdated, before approving an application, the IRCC Visa Officers check the LOA of all applicants to know if the LOA is still valid or not, so in your case, if your application is on the route of approval, they will surely send you a request to upload your updated LOA.

But once you submit your updated LOA to them, when it gets to the time of them checking the LOA, they wont send you a request, instead they will just update your application with the Updated LOA submitted by you and if everything has been concluded on your application and your application is an approved one, they will send you your PPR...

Hope this helps

Peace

Thank you so much, very helpful information.

CHIKACIC:


Online App: 27th April 2021
Biometric: 10th May 2021
BVL: 18th August 2021 after sending two web forms.

Program start date: 1st September (which is today).
Program deferral approved and new LOA to be expected within 3 weeks.

Questions:

1. Should I inform IRCC of the deferral without a new LOA in support?

I would suggest you wait for your new LOA because IRCC are very comfortable with stated facts that are backed with evidence.

2. PPR + Deferred admission, should my sponsor inform IRCC of continuous financial support?

I think this is a valid question. With the new LOA, IRCC is now aware that your circumstances has changed and may like to know that funds will still be available for your studies. Do back the letter up with your sponsor’s account statement.

I would suggest you send the letter together with your new LOA.

Hope this helps.

I hope I made some sense here

Please, better suggestions should be offered.

Someone pls advise me on what I should do

Good day everyone, I just joined and happy with what's happening here. Alot of information is being shared here. I submitted my application on the 27th of April 2021 , did biometric on the 10th of May and recieved correspondence letter for Biometric validity on the 18th of August after i submitted two webforms and since then I have not gotten any response from them. My program is to start on the 1st of September and college gave deadline for deferal so I requested to defer, after 1 month I got deferral approval response today and the message said I would get New LOA within three weeks, so I'm a kind of confused I need to inform IRCC of my deferral and my new LOA is not available, what do I do? What if I get my PPR and my admission is already deferred, is it necessary that my sponsor write to IRCC that he is aware I deferred the and still in support ??
Help a sister please
