OkukuOne:
Dear Scott99tish, @Makano et all,

I am a newbie here.

I was surfing the net to see the best way out for a "Study Permit/Visa)" for my dear wife.

She got admission to study Personal Support Worker - Acute Care in NBCC, Canada.

I have plans to pay one-semester fee for her before applying for a Study Permit/Visa and that is it.

I have read some of the responses and shared opinions, but i am completely lost and i don't know what comes in first and what next.

Please, I will need a complete guideline on all supporting documents anything that will aid the entire process.

Much appreciated if you can join us to write our success stories.

N/B:
If any acronym is used while you are trying to explain to me, please be kin=d enough to let me know the meaning. once will be fine. I am not shy to say i am learning the ropes from the gurus here.

God's blessings family in Nairaland

If you wanna work with me, then you may not be submitting next week Cos I do not do rush work...

I take my time to analyze and scrutinize every bit of the application to make sure every aspect of the application is on point before submission..

Unless you have your GCMS notes with you, and I see you have thoroughly and constructively tackled the concerns of the Visa Officer, then 2 weeks is visible..

If you agree with me, then you can send a mail to makanoglobalservices@gmail.com for a professional and convincing touch on your application...

Peace

@Makano my oga abeg come help me too o..I want to submit my application next week Abeg biko come gimme idea my oga…make me sef testify soon abeg

Congrats to you Scott, you deserved this PPR to be honest..

Despite my harsh and strict approach on you as regards your SOP and LOE, you were patient with me, you never got discouraged cos of your never say die attitude and dedication towards getting your Visa.. And I am pleased that you appreciated that I did all those just because I wanted the best of SOPs and LOEs for you and thank God it eventually paid off..

And I am very happy to be part of your success story Scott, you really deserved it...

Canada can't wait for your explosions, and make sure you support Canada in the world cup since our own team can't make us proud...

Congrats once again Scott, it has finally ended in praise..

Peace

Kindly ignore any grammatical error as I cannot proofread anything with this joy in me… Lol

See below timeline of my application:
First Application
Submitted April 30th, 2021
I found Nairaland first week of August then I got to know about Upfront medical

Upfront medical August 4th, 2021
Delay came on August 16, 2021
Reason: Personal Assets and Financial Status.

I paid Half tuition fee with 10million in my account as Self-Sponsored. I was wondering HOW and WHY refusal again…
But after dropping my delay on nairaland, I got some responses then I knew where my problem was even before I got GCMS note. So I started tackling and typing…
Lump sum.
I never stated anything finance in my SOP, talk-less of mentioning the lump sum I had 4 days before submission. Well, a lesson.

I ordered GCMS note and the result was actually correct. Lump sum.
What I did different;
1. I paid Full tuition fee
2. I explained all the lump sum I had in my LOE, even when they won’t be in my new statement of account because I had to wait till December for submission to avoid stories again.
3. I gave sources of all lump sum I had then with documents to back them up. Some equipment I owned, I brought up their receipts and their rental agreement which gave me lump sums.

Secret: Don’t rush any submission. Try to get it right.

I ensured I don’t have ANY new lump at allll.
I wrote my beautiful LOE and SOP, to me beautiful, lol.

Thank God I asked Makano to review for me.
Then He blasted me ehn. I was like, It took me 14days to come up with all this and this guy was just putting lines lines lines.
Well, I relaxed because He knows better.
We kept going back and forth but He para that I don’t want to learn that He charge for what he’s doing for me free, Sorry I had to say all this Makano, it’s just funny to talk about them now.

I pleaded with him that I will pay what ever fee, because I like how he’s getting angry at me because I needed to get it right.
I sha paid the discount He gave me because He saw how dedicated I was.

Finally We got something meaningful that I confirmed my initial beautiful LOE/SOP was rubbish.

He’s good… He like a brother, always checking Up on me via mail… General Makano

Re-applied 7th of December, 2021… Action movie started.
7th of Feb, 2022 being my birthday, Eligibility started.
29th of March, 2022 Original Passport Request.


Thank you guys for all and I will remain here to pass more knowledge acquired here.
@Makano, Teemenzo, KellyKk, Osemigho, Technix, Buchito1, Ketima, Jollytravels that will and must travel… Many more that I cannot remember for now…
You guys have been awesome…

See attached list of Documents submitted

Not necessary..

Many Applicants get PPR without notarizing any document..

Peace

MotunrayoD:
Hello everyone , pls I’d like to ask if it’s necessary to notarize all the documents one is submitting for the application. Thanks.

Hello Nixymax

Some applicants prefer doing the upfront medicals to avoid delays medical request can cause, while some prefer waiting for the Medical request to drop for reasons best known to them..

So Its actually up to you to decide which one is okay with you.

Peace .

nixymax:
Good Morning Everyone,

Please I have submitted my application and I would like to know if I can do my medicals before I receive the medical request or must I wait for the request first?

Thank you

Hello Harold

You didn't disclose the degree you are getting admission for, if its BSc, Diploma or PGD.. But know that Transcript, Waec and Degree certificate are major requirements for Admission in most Canadian Schools...

As for the study gap, hope you have been engaging yourself in productive and innovative activities which can also be voluntary, since 2017 that relates to your proposed course, as this will further convince the admission officers for a favorable response..

Peace

@makano I'm still waiting for your reply sir

Hello Harold4lyf

I have just replied your mail, sorry for the late response..

Peace

Harold4lyf:
Hello mr @makano I just sent you a mail...can you please accept...I have a few questions I need clarity on

Hello Teezkid

Statement of purpose is a very important and compulsory document for a Canada study, visiting and spousal permit application.. In case you don't know, Canada doesn't conduct interview for Visa applicants unlike most developed countries, so the the tool you will use to sell yourself to the IRCC Visa officers is your SOP, since you won't be there physically to present yourself to the Visa Officer.

Yes, I have also seen very few instances where applicants get PPR without submitting a Statement of purpose, but remember, no 2 application is the same..

There are many times the Visa Officer will refuse an application for a vague study plan and also purpose of visit, SOP is the major tool to knock off these refusal reasons..

Again, SOP is a very important document to include in your study permit application, and if you wanna apply without it cos very few have gotten PPR without it, then goodluck..

Peace

Teezkid:
Good day house. I would like to know if it is compulsory to write a statement of purpose for the student visa application? because some people did not write it and submit it to the visa officials and still got their PPR, I am very much confused and I know someone who went for a graduate certificate course and did not write a statement of purpose and still got their PPR

Hello Teebabe

I have just replied your mail, sorry for the late response..

Teebabe2806:
Good morning everyone, I’m a new member here and I’m really impressed with this community.

I’m about to start my own processing for fall intake this year and I’m at cross-ends. I’ll need all the help I can get

I’ve also tried emailing @makano but I guess he’s a busy man (hopefully he sees this). I don’t know how to contact @frankrobbn (please help me if you can). A sister needs help with packaging her application .

Congratulations to all that have gotten their PPR, and to those that are still waiting... I wish you success.

Hello Overcomer

Yes, it can be submitted for PPR, but please note that your visa duration won't be more than a year even though your course is a 2 year Masters program.. To get your full 3 years Visa, you will need to renew your passport here before you apply or apply with the passport, get your PPR and renew your passport there in Canada so you can be given additional Visa duration to cover up your Study in Canada..

Peace

Overcomer1234:
Greetings gurus, please can a passport valid for 1year be submitted for PPR. Passport due to expire next year April 2023, but course applied for is a Two year masters program. I will appreciate responses. @makano @Anon123 @ketima @frankrobbn1

Congrats Emma

It has finally ended in praise..

I am glad my little contribution on this thread was of help to your Visa approval..

Bye for now! Now i can have a good soothing sleep������ mehhhn.
(Sorry this is long, didn't plan it as such)

You all worry too much though..

With my experience with the Canada study/spousal permit application, for those that have applied for months now and Eligibility has not started, once your Eligibility starts, your final decision will come almost immediately..

Its just like peeps that their Eligibility started quite early and waited several months before getting a final a decision from IRCC.

IRCC is doing everything possible for peeps not to predict their way of operation, so you all shouldn't worry yourself about this, you all need to keep calm..

If your application has passed the processing time and you really wanna get an update from IRCC, then disturb them with your mails (5 mails in the day, 3 at night) without relenting until you get a response. Sedning too many mails to IRCC has never been a reason for refusal, so you all do not need to be scared, keep pushing until you get what you desire from IRCC..


Peace

Chukwuemekatehi:
Honestly. Since November and eligibility never start.

Hello Treasure

To answer the bolded, the blank Box is for the message an applicant wanna send across to IRCC as regards the query of the applicant. And as you can see in the screenshot you sent, 1500 characters is the highest the box can contain. So if your LOE is within this range, then you can put it there. If not, you will have to summarize and go straight to the point so the box can contain your write up, after which you will still send via mail and attach your LOE (in pdf format) to the IRCC email addresses.

The subject can simply be Letter of explanation(Correction).

Peace

Treasure134:
Thanks so much @Makano I will take my time tonight to have this issue solved without panicking... Please I have one more question... I found a blank Box when filling the webform is the box meant for my Letter of explanation(picture below)...
And should I also send LOE through via email too( what can I put as the subject title)

Please if anyone can help me on writing a proper letter of explanation I don't mind paying for his/her service

Hello Treasure

Since you just submitted this month, you still stand a chance to make amends..

I hope you still have the IRCC form, refill it and make sure you calmly fill the form rightly..

Send the updated form to IRCC via Webform and also to the IRCC emails scattered all over this thread (If you cant find the mails, you can check through my posts, you should find the mails for Nairobi, Lagos, London, Abuja and Accra). Make sure you also write a letter of explanation explaining to them of your mistakes and how it has been corrected in your updated form, and inform them to discard the previous form that was submitted with your application..

You need to send them this mali asap before its too late..

It will end in praise..

Peace

Treasure134:
Please I've already submitted my application but I noticed I checked on NO instead of YES when I was asked about been denied of visa from another country or territory... Because I've applied for a UK standard visa lately last year and I was denied though till date I'm still yet to know why(those an agent was involved) and also on my Canada application they asked if I've done IELTs before I checked on NO instead YES I did IELTS but my band score was 5.5 so my thoughts was this thing might not be necessary... Please what can I do asap to amend this part as my application is still on background check I submitted my application on March 1st and did biometric and updated March 9th and my school is resuming by MAY...and I joined this platform about 2weeks ago.. Please what can I do asap ?? Please I need help I'm really begging please , please people of God
@Frankrobbn1 @Teemenzo

I need serious guide I don't mind paying for services I'm at my last edge of hope, I've been praying to God for this to work and I know he will do it and that's why he strucked my heart with this so that I can make amendment before the final decision comes up... I've spent so much on trips and I don't want to end up with the same result

Hello WiZiggy

You will have to declare your previous refusals when filling your form..

Make sure you tick Yes, and give brief details of the previous refusals in the form..

Peace

WiZiggy:
Hello makano, I was denied Canada tourist visa in 2009, and in 2015 I was denied us tourist visa both based on 'not convinced I would return after my visit' it was my inlaw who processed the US visit visa and honestly not sure if he declared I was denied Canada visa, cos I was never asked and he may not be aware, this happened in 2015. How do I know what was filled in my application.? I tried in the past to get details of that application but he couldn't remember a thing. I intend to declare both refusals in my SP application but I'm kinda worried what information that was saved in my US refused application. Please advise

April , May

Good afternoon all, I’m a graduate of electrical/electronic engineering (2.2) please which universities i can apply for with my grades for masters.

Then your application should be the earliest approval I have witnessed for a Nigerian applicant who applied in Nigeria..

The earliest I have seen before yours was 17days..

Congrats once again, Canada cant wait for you to explore..

Mena97:
I applied from Nigeria oh

Like I said earlier, this is easy to tackle..

Just follow the instructions I gave in my earlier quote to your post, also lets wait for your GCMS notes to drop, this will further guide you in the right direction in tackling the concerns of the Visa officer..

Peace

Nyaoffiong:
Thanks for your response. I have order for GCMS notes.
See below the reason while awaiting for the 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 on your family ties in Canada and in your country of
residence.
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"

Hello Nyaoffiong

This is easy to tackle, you just have to work on your home ties and let it be so clear in your application that your Home ties will be your major reason for your return back to your home country after your study in Canada..

Meanwhile order for your GCMS notes..

Peace

Nyaoffiong:
Hi gurus, please I need your guide on my Canadian student visa application. I had a denial last year 2021. I want to give it a try again. @faithyyyy and others please advise ��. The reason for refusal was [b]“family tie not sufficient to show [/b]I ll return back to home country”.

Congrats Mena

This is super fast, did you apply in Nigeria or outside Nigeria..

Mena97:
IT ENDED IN PRAISE OHHHH
I am a silent reader and I won’t be happy if I don’t share my testimony.
I applied for study visa in September for January 2022 and I was rejected because of a mistake I made.
I deferred my admission to September 2022 and I re- applied on the 14th of February 2022.
I got my PPR on the 23rd of February 2022.

It can only be God.
I have received my passport back Months before I am to resume. I don’t even know if I should go early or wait till July/August
I am so happy and excited for this my Miracle.
It would definitely end in Praise.

Hello Nuliaa

I will advise you should be honest and truthful in your application.

Declaring you have been refused Visa in the US will not have any negative effect in getting your Canadian Study permit Visa, and it does not also affect your Eligibilty for a study permit visa..

So what will you now say of applicants here who have been refused Visa in Canada in the past and are now in Canada..

But if you deny your previous Visa refusal in Canada or any country, be rest assured that Canada will find out.. Not even a country like the US whose relationship with Camada is like 5 and 6.. And when they find out, you will be given a 5 year BAN for misinterpretation..

So do your self a favor by being honest and truthful about your previous refusals..

Peace

Nuliaa:
Congrats!!!



Good day everyone. I was rejected a tourist visa to the USA and I'm currently applying for a study Visa to Canada. During the course of filling out my application form, I was asked if I have ever been rejected a visa in Canada or any country. Will saying 'yes' affect my chances of getting a Canadian study visa? Should I say no? Is there a way they track my visa denial history?

Thank you for your urgent response.

My pleasure

What if the person graduated with a 3rd class degree which is far below par for masters. Shouldn’t that convince the VO?
