Hello MightyRance

If your application has passed the processing time, then you can start sending mails and webform to IRCC..

And your elder brother being your sponsor and submitting a Nigerian account isnt a problem at all.. What the Visa Officer is more concerned about is that the declared funds will be readily available for your studies all through your stay in Canada....


I just hope you showed close relationship with your sponsor..

And its Makano and not mekano.

It will end in praise..

Peace

MightyRance:
Good day gurus.

I live in Istanbul, Turkey. I did an upfront medicals on the 3rd of March 2022.
I submitted my application 23rd of March, 2022.

From the day i submitted till now, its only my biometrics that has been updated to completed.

My upfront medicals has not been updated.

PLEASE WHAT SHOULD I DO. @mekano and gurus in the forum

AND I USED MY ELDER BROTHER'S BANK STATEMENT. THATS NIGERIAN BANK STATEMENT, BUT I LIVE IN TURKEY. DOES IT HAVE ANY NEGATIVE EFFECT ON MY APPLICATION?

This shouldn't be a problem though..

Contact a registered Lawyer that belongs to NBA and not all these charge and bail Lawyers..

Peace

MrDam:
Please somebody should come to my aid
How and where can I notarize gift deed from my father.

Asap pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hello Tosynn

Your refusal reason is very common amongst refused applicants and it is easy to tackle..

Just wait for your GCMS notes to be ready so you will know the concerns of the Visa Officer..

It can still be tackled without a GCMS notes though, like I said earlier its a common refusal reason.. Personally I do not need to see GCMS note to know how to tackle personal assets and financial status, but for a newbie like you, you will need to wait for the GCMS notes, and when its ready, gurus here will help you out..

Peace

tosynn007:
Hello @ everyone, I intend re-applying for for study visa which was refused last month.

1 I seem confused and I want to find out if I'm to submit a reviewed Sop and also a LOE? Or am I just to submit an LOE?

2. My dad will be transferring one million as a gift/dash towards my room and boarding. Do I still need to go get a gift of deed or should I just screenshot the transaction reference and explain the lump sum indicating that it was transferred from his account

3. Does using my dad properties and attaching a reference letter indicating I will work for him after the completion of my study suffice enough proof of home ties?

4. Does any one have a LOE template on how to tackle the VO worries


It is very important to note that I was rejected on the basis of personal asset and financial status. Paid my first term tuition. I have applied for gmcs note but can't wait anymore.

Congrats once again Ameryzzy

First of all, all glory to God for giving me the knowledge and wisdom to handle your application which has ended in praise.

And I also wanna thank you for trusting in my expertise to handle your application despite we haven't physically met once, I also thank you for trusting in my integrity and transparency all through the duration of your application....

Canada can't wait for you to explode..

It has ended in praise..

Peace

All thanks and glory to God. Ahh only Him deserves my praise

Omo I rush chat Baba ohh cos I wanted to do it myself but wanted a professional and reliable guidance, I disturb am shaaaaa, reviewing and re-reviewing, even calling the family man up at odd hours cos of application, I had to beg him to plead with his wife oo cos i dey always call am mostly at night(that is the time he has time for calls) cos me myself be married woman, so i uderstand when one is always calling my hubby at odd hours. Lol. and thank God it really ended in Praise as he will always say.
Makano is best at what he does,.. I followed all his professional guidance and advise. Makano sacrificed his time( picking calls at odd hours) and put in his best as regards reviewing my application as a whole.

I followed all his instructions and what to do and not. Oga dey truly competent abeg in visa processing and also very compassionate. God bless you greatly sir.

God bless everyone here taking their time to share their timelines. I would be an ingrate not to share mine

I don't have any land properties ohh but God proved himself.

Good morning house, Please what other documents can one attach on the Data page/Visa/Stamping section on new IRCC Portal to maximize space @ justmello @makano @Lekiboboc @ kweje @frankrobbn1 and every other experience person here.I want to quickly get back to a friend pls.

Hello Julmbachu

Company sponsorship takes alot of convincing though..

The company will have to let the Visa Officer know why its sponsoring you for your studies(What makes you special than other employees). Also the company will also convince the Visa Officer that sponsoring your studies in Canada wont in any way affect the financial capacity of the company on other financial responsibility i.e comfortably paying the Salary of other employees and other company financial responsibilities..

And yes, you will need to do a Deed of Gift for any money sent to you by the company..

Peace

Julmbachu:
Thanks a lot sir for your input. Now my sponsor(my employer) is ready to send the remaining tuition fees & living expense to my account. When he sends the money, should he do a gift deed or tag it complete funds towards the company’s sponsorship for my studies in Canada? And as regards home ties, I submitted my children’s birth certificates & dt of my husband, my employment letter, promotion letter, the bond I signed with my employer. However, the VO talked about insufficient financial stability, pls what documents should I use to convince the VO as regards ds? Thanks a lot sir for your assistance

Hello shankeybee

You said you have sent several webforms to IRCC without any response and also no feedback from VFS for months now..

Note that until Biometrics is done, an application wont be attended to by the IRCC Immigration officers. So its safe to withdraw the application and re-apply..

And if you wanna keep waiting for a response from IRCC, that is also okay..

The choice is yours..

Peace

shankeybee:
Good day all,
Please in a situation whereby appointment for biometrics was booked twice by one applicant. What is the best way to be attended to by vfs for biometrics?
As the applicant was not attended to on the scheduled date to be captured and was told they would have to contact IRCC before she can be captured, as a result of her booking twice.
It's been over a months now and no feedback has been gotten. Several webforms has also been raised.
Is it advisable to just withdraw the application and reapply again or just wait for a feedback from IRCC @makano @omiinii @frankrobbn1 @anon123 @destinationcann @centennialguy

Hello Jenny

You have nothing to worry about actually...

Jenny255:
Hello everyone, please I need your input. The gurus in the house, please help me.
My dad is my sponsor and he has a business he has been operating since 1994, the business was duly registered with CAC in 1994 and he has all the documents relating to the registration including payment receipt. This is the business he owns till date and the same business that will be sponsoring my education.
My question is this, I tried searching the name on CAC website and it is not coming up.
Please what do I do?
Please note: * It is not showing at all, not that it is inactive
*Also the CAC certificate is quite different from what we have today, I mean in colour, format and in design.

Should I still submit the CAC documents like that?
@makano @anon123 @justwise @frankrobbn1
Anyone that has an input should help out, I need to figure out what to do, Thank you in advance

Yes you can, no issues..

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

hello all

Hello Julmbachu

The Visa Officer simply had issues with your 3rd party sponsor(They always have issues with 3rd Party sponsors), and this is because you failed to show your relationship with the said sponsor..

Also your sponsor failed to show his commitment to your studies and stay in Canada in your refused application..

This is what you will do, make sure you proof your relationship with your sponsor, if the sponsor has sponsored you in the past and you have docs to back it up, this will be an added advantage for your application. Also let your sponsor pay the full school fees (If he is capable of doing this) transfer your living expenses to your bank account..

You will have to explain in details (both in the Letter of sponsorship and your Letter of explanation) every huge amount sent to you by your sponsor, to avoid any issues with lump sum..

In summary, let your sponsor show total commitment by proofing to the Visa Officer that the funds in his SOA will be readily available all through your stay in Canada..

Hello Sam

Its good you have documents to back up your claims, which will be very important for your application.

But I wont advise you state the bolded though, don't make it look to the Visa officer that you do not have other funds aside the one gotten from the sales of land.. You saying the reason you sold the land is solely for the purpose of studying in Canada isn't necessary to mention in your application.. Instead dwell on other sources of funds. i.e. Salary, funds gotten business transaction.. And make sure you include the documents to explain and back up the sales of land and lump sum....

Peace

Sam796476:
Good day everyone, my sponsor received a lump sum of about ₦10million in his account. The money was gotten from the sale of a land, and I have documents to back it up including the receipt that was issued to the buyer. Is it advisable to state in the SOP that the funds from the sale of the land is solely for the purpose of study. Makano, Anon, Ominii, Osemigbo and others, Pls your opinions would really help. Thanks

Congrats once again hesjay

First of all, all glory to God for giving me the wisdom to handle such complicated application as yours which eventually ended in praise after 7 failed attempts.. And I wanna also thank you for trusting in me to handle your application even though at the early stage u were kinda doubting cos of your past failed attempts.. I must also commend your humility (you are a really humble man, despite your status), you obeyed and followed every instruction I gave you without arguing or saying otherwise (unlike some applicants), with this you made my work easy for your application...

When I woke up this morning and saw your several missed calls, I knew God has done it, I had to call you back to hear the good news... I rejoice with you, even my wife was so happy when I broke the news to her, to show how important your application was to us..

Congrats once again hesjay(I wont mention your real name here, the name I do call you ) your persistence, determination and our professional expertise has finally given you what you have dreamt of for years..

All glory to God...

It's indeed a great honour to be part of your PPR crowning achievement and I wish you the very best in all your endeavors...

hesjay:
My journey and efforts to study abroad started in 2013 but I would fast forward it to 2015.
I tried several times to secure admission but no success until 2018 when I got admission in Seneca college.

First Application study visa submitted on 4 February 2019 through an agent but was refused 4 April 2019. Reason: Purpose of visit
Second Application study visa submitted April 18 2019, refused 25 May 2019. Reason: Purpose, Asset and TH.
Third Application - Visitor visa through an agent again. Submitted September 24, 2019. Refused 25 October 2019. Reason: No genuine business purpose.
Fourth Application through another agent- visit. Submitted 10 December 2019. After 2 months of submission I called for withdrawal due to the fact that the agent was not sincere.
I thereafter contacted Mr Frank who used his expertise to get me admission for Master program.
Fifth Application study visa submitted 24 August 2020 but was refused 24 September 2020. Reasons: Purpose, Asset, Ties and TH.
Sixth Application study visa submitted on 11 September 2021 but refused 27 October 2021. Reasons: Asset and Ties. At this point, I became frustrated and tired. But God just sent Makano to me and everything changed. He first of all calmed me down and encouraged me. He even gave me an instance of an applicant on this forum with similar experience of several refusals. After his consolation, Makano sacrificed and put in his best, with very affordable, I repeat very affordable fee for my Seventh application. Makano requested for my previous GCMS notes and after he studied them, he told me that once I provided him the documents he would request for, my next application would be approved. I just yinmu that what was this one saying, Lol. He also ordered me to pay full one year tuition. In fact en, that Makano is a wizard, I remembered one of my company clients (a diplomat) from one European country offered recommendation letter in addition to my application. Makano demanded for letterhead from the European Embassy if truly the diplomat wanted to assist. Well, his well packaged application was submitted on 11 January 2022 and PPR came 5 May 2022.

Hello Niaso

Yes you can, but you have a slim chance of getting your study visa approved compared to going alone and using your family members as strong home ties. You can as well go with your toddler, but you must obviously lay emphasizes in your SOP that you can't afford to leave your 9 month baby behind while you go study in Canada..


Peace

Niaso:
This thread has really done wonders!

Please a quick one
I recently got an offer letter from KPU for PGD

Can I apply for a study visa together with spouse open work permit and child visitor visa all at same time considering baby is still a toddler (9months)
If yes to question above, how much fund do I need as proof of fund in naira? Can mother inlaw serve as sponsor with her company statement and CAC?

@frank, @makano

Keep sending the mails, do not relent..

Also contact the MPs in the province where your proposed school is located..

MightyRance:
Thanks @Makano

I APPLIED FROM TURKEY. I have send webform to IRCC center which is Ankara, yet no update. I have sent several emails too. They keep sending me generic emails.

That's the spirit..

Hello Danny

Getting PGD with HND is a common thing though..

Many schools (Colleges) give pgd admission to HND graduate..

Peace

dannybomb:
please have anyone here gotten admission for a postgraduate degree with HND cert would love to know schools that accept HND for postgraduate program

Your Eligibility just started some days back and you are already going into depression and cant focus on anything? Interesting..

So what will now say about applicants that have applied since May last year and Eligibility started September and up till this moment, no final decision yet..

Or applicants that their BVL has dropped since April 1st and no final decision till this moment.. Your question has been asked so many times and I cant count the number of times I have given answers to this particular question of yours..

Now the answer to your question is, no particular timeline between the time Eligibility starts and when final decision drops.. It can take days, weeks, months and even a year depending on the situation of the applicant and other factors..

This is my little advise to applicants, if you know you aint strong hearted, please do not think of applying for a Canadian Visa.. You can always apply for UK which is easy to get with fast processing time (But not better than Canada, obviously)..

And if eventually you apply for a Canada Visa application, make sure you have other things to focus on.... Just my advise..

Peace

Joanosas2950:
Please Gurus in the house, how long does it take to get ppr after eligibility review starts. Mine started on April 29. IRCC is really messing with my mental health, for the past 1 month na depression i just dey. Cant focus on anything.

Send a webform and also send mails to the different IRCC centers as regards an update on your Medicals and your application in general..

Make sure you attach the E-Medical sheet to the individual mails you will send to the different IRCC centers..

Peace

My own Upfront Medicals has not been Updated. And it's a month and a week now i submitted. MARCH 23rd, 2022

Hello Chuks

There are no particular timeline for this though..

Personally I have seen Medicals being updated in 2 days and I have also seen Medicals being updated in 2-3 weeks..

So it depends...

But normally it should be updated within a month..

chuksinfotech:
Good Evening Everyone,

Please how long does it take to for an Upfront Medical Examination to be updated.

My previous upfront medical exams expired in February and i repeated it on the 25th of April and submitted via email same day and also submitted via webform the next day.

Although i got confirmation of submission by IRCC on Thursday 28 April.

So how long before it would reflect on my portal?

There are no forms in the new portal.

Peace

Theben:
Please while filling the study permit application using the new portal, I did not see any request for these forms. I hope I am not out of the line?

Hello Elikayvee

Note that this is a study visa thread and not a work Visa thread.. So you will do yourself some good by taking off the mindset of going to Canada to work.

You will have to get your study permit so you can work part-time while you study in Canada.. So read up this part 21 from the 1st page to get useful information that will guide you on how to go about getting a study permit Visa...

You can also read previous parts..

Peace

Elikayvee:
Hello everyone, please I want you to put me through, I would like to relocate to Canada. My question now is how easy is it to get a work visa? Gurus, Please how do I go about it ? How do I start? Please advise me. I look forward to hearing from you.

You will have to book appointment sir..

Even if you are the owner of the clinic..

Teezkid:
If IRCC asks you for medicals, can you just go to Qlife to do it without booking any appointments?

You can start your application and submit if the receipt isn't ready prior to the time you will submit.

Once your receipt is ready after you would have submitted, you can send it via Webform or Mails to IRCC..

But personally, I prefer applicants submit their tuition receipts with their application..

Peace

Also I'd like to know if u can start my application though I'm still waiting on the receipt for my tuition deposit

Hello Roffy3

You didn't make mention of your age if it will be advisable to go for a B.Sc... But if you know you are already of age, I will advise you should be patient and get your 1st degree and apply for a Post graduate degree after your graduation.. It will be easy for you going through this route..

But if you think you have stories and explanation to cover up for the past 4 years of your life, then u can go ahead with others advise of you doing another B.Sc. in Canada..

Peace

Hello TonyDeanalyst

On a norms, Visa officers always have issues with 3rd party sponsors except the said sponsor shows more than enough commitment to the study and expenses of the Applicant..

Now a 3rd party sponsor, sponsoring you and your family wont fly to be honest with you.. For a 3rd party sponsor, sponsoring 5 members of a family, is it that the sponsor doesn't have dependents of his own or what? Has the said sponsor, sponsored you and your family members on anything in the past?

If you still insist on using a 3rd party sponsor, I will advise you apply alone and let the said sponsor convince the Visa Officer that he is indeed ready to show his total commitment to your studies during your stay In Canada..

So apply alone and use your other family members as home ties that will force your return to your home country.. When you get to Canada, you can then apply for spousal permit for your Spouse and Visiting Visa for your Kids...

Peace

TonyDeAnalyst:
@makano @lekiboboe @justmellow @ominni @frankrobon1 @scott99tish @Anon and other gurus. Please I need your sincere advice, I got a PhD admission at Dalhousie university and planning with my spouse and three kids. I am applying with a third party sponsor, my questions:
1. Is it adequate if my sponsor gift me around 12m which is enough to pay my first year tuition and our living expenses.
2. With adding my physical assets valuation document also count.
3. Can I ask my Dad to do deed of gifts to transfer some of his assets to me
4. Can also add my late mum gratuity papers worth 6m as POF.
5. With it be acceptable if I ask my employer (a Fed. College of Education) to provide a study leave for me to provide my home tie.
6. Can I also use my assets and deed of gifts to prove home tie.
7. Is it compulsory to pay tuition before application.
Thanks as I await from professional responses

Just do MBS, contact your bank if they offer the service...
