Hello Mirakyle

Lemme summarise this story in one sentence..

The Visa officer have issues with the source of the funds you declared, they do not see a tangible reason why you wanna spend so much on your proposed course of study(You failed to convince them of the benefit of the course to you and your home country), they believe as a single, you will have no plan of returning because they believe you have no dependents that will bring you back home..

Work on your Study plan , work on convincing the Visa Officer that you readily have the funds for your stay in Canada and work on your establishment here in Nigeria.. There are many single applicants here getting Visa, so sit up and re-strategize..

You should get your Visa if you work on these areas constructively..

Peace
Mirakylie:
Please Gurus this is what my GCnotes says... please help me to interpret it

Taking the applicants plan of studies into account, the documentation provided in support of the applicant financial situation does not demonstrate that funds would be sufficient or available. I am not satisfied that the proposed studies would be reasonable expense.

The source of funds is poorly documented and there is no evidence provided showing how financial sponsor/PA came to accumulate savings. Taking the applicants purpose of visit into account, the applicants does not appear to be sufficiently well established that the proposed visit would be a reasonable expense. The applicant has not satisfied me that they have sufficient economic stability, which may affect their departure from CDA, I am not satisfied that the PA has sufficient funds to support themselves (tuition, living expenses, transportation etc) given the proposed length of stay without working in CDA.

Based on the documents provided by the PA/Sponsor, I am not satisfied that the PA will have a sufficient inflow of funds for studies or a reasonable source of income to support the proof of funds that was provided

I am not satisfied that the applicant would leave Canada at the end of their stay as a temporary resident, I note that:

The client is single, mobile is not well established and has no dependents

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

For this reasons above, I have refused this application

You didn't state the reason you are going for Bsc, but I will advise you go for a Post graduate Diploma.

Also, your Waec certificate is enough except the school is particular about the docs they want from WAEC..

Hello Minnienny

Applicants get Visa with Mpower loan, you just have to be constructive and clear with your application..

Hello guys, hope we are all fine.

I'd like to know if there's anybody that has tried using the MPower financing loan for funding and got visa approval.

Thank you all.

I have been reading messages fir few days now and getting some tips.
Though I plan to write my IELTS exam soon for study permit.
I need a lot of direction on where to start first . Should I write my IELTS exam first or are there courses I could do in Canada without IELTS? Then what next ?
I am a novice here, but I am determined to this course , because I know with the right information, commitment, direction from colleagues here and with God, I will make it to Canada.
Please and please I need your help
Thanks.

Hello Teeunz

Its not compulsory to pay school fees before applying for your study permit application. Paying school fees isn't a guarantee that you will get your Visa, but you stand a high chance of getting approved when you Pay school fees...

If you are not paying your school fees before applying for your Visa for reasons best known to you, make sure you have more than enough to cover more than you tuition fees, the Visa officers are smart enough to notice that..

You can simply make mention that once you get your Visa, then you will make payment for your full tuition fees...

Peace

Teeunz:
Hello good day everyone.

Please gurus in the house, I need your contributions please,

Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. After careful review of your study permit
application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet
the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and
Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application on the following grounds:
• 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 your personal assets and financial status.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can
demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be
accompanied by a new processing fee


How do i address this refusal, house pls advise. Was refused today applied Feb 28th.

Hello Electroweb

Members of parliament (MP) can be liken to senators/ House of reps member in the Nigerian context..

Just that they are not after the money but after the welfare of the residents in their provinces/ constituencies.. And some of them who are nice enough even give attention to prospective residents(outside of Canada) coming into their provinces, that is why some of them communicates with IRCC on behalf of the Study permit applicants coming to their provinces who are yet to get a final decision as regards their delayed application..

Hello Jacklens

Biometrics comes hours after the submission of A VISA APPLICATION FOR FIRST TIMERS..

There is nothing like upfront Biometrics, which means you cant do biometrics until when IRCC gives you a go ahead as regards your biometrics, and this only happens after the submission of your study permit application..

I need some clarifications:
Can someone book for Biometrics before submitting or immediately submitting application before IRCC sends notification?

Gift212:
I typed and posted this thing before but anti spam bot banned me *side-eye*
A little background, I applied for a course unrelated to my previous or current work experiences. It is related to my undergraduate degree but I have a 12 year study gap… I applied to 1 school, 1 course, 1 country. Basically Put all my eggs in canada’s 1 basket.

Here’s my timeline
Submission- 3rd December, 2021
Upfront medical - 22nd of December (initially wanted to wait for medical request but I got anxious and mailed e-medical sheet on 17th of January)
Medical updated to pass 18th of January,2022
Eligibility began- 25th of January,2022
BVL and PPR- 1st of April,2022



Documents Submitted
International Passport data page
Statement of purpose (2 pages)
Resume
BSc certificate & Transcript
Birth certificate
Letter of introduction from my employer (family business, also served as home ties)
Current US visit visa page (this section was automatically generated based on questions I answered in the form)
3 Previous Canadian visiting visa pages
Previous and current UK visas

Proof of funds
Letter of Sponsorship (explaining our relationship, his work history, and the attached documents)
My bank statement (applicant)
Bank Statement Nigeria and US (Sponsor aka father)
Investment statements
Property title
My first semester tuition receipt

After submission, medical update and eligibility … Silence. I ordered cbsa/gcms notes in jan,it came out in February. Pre-assessment notes said “further review of fathers first”… I assumed it was review of my dads first bank statement. I panicked a little after looking at the statement again and saw some unexplained transactions with large amounts but it’s not foreign to the account. I even mailed makano (thank you for responding) as i was drafting the LOE, he thought I should just leave it, I thought about it logically and left it … anyway I left it and kept on the wait. Emailed MP,nothing much different from the notes- “eligibility undergoing further verification”. After that I locked up,middle of March I ordered another gcms notes,it’s still not out yet.
I planned a short vacation with my friends and took my mind off, only checked portal once while I was away. I noticed the “date modified” at the bottom of the page changed from 2022-01-18 (date medical passed) to 2022-03-15 I took that as my own ghost update. Lol I really don’t know if it means anything but hey anything to encourage while waiting hey.
On the 31st I emailed MP again,the person that replied was asking me for postal code, long thing. On the 1st I tried again,no reply yet. At 7:10pm as I was about to hop into the shower getting ready for Friday turn up, I saw 2 emails pop up on my laptop. I started shaking,wore boubou and ran to look for daddy (he was supposed to be home) to hold my hand to while I opened portal. Lol dramatic much?

Now my study permit application watch has ended. I wish everyone waiting the best of luck. I’m not leaving here, as this place was such a big part of my application and waiting process. God bless you all. Thank you makano, Anon123, ketima, teemenzo (for always making me laugh here cheesy) and everyone that answered and encouraged me.

None of them guarantees approval or leads to refusal...

Hello Olanrae

Sending to any address wont affect the application in any negative way..

Most Nigerian applicants address their letter to Anifowose Victoria island, and the applications ends up with the Nairobi Visa officers..

So as a Nigerian applicant, which ever office you address your letter to, it will still end up in Nairobi, Kenya..
