It is never compulsory to sign SOP, its not even needed..

Nigerians/Africans though, always going the extra mile when it comes to Visa application..

It is well

kweje:
Please can anyone help with this? Must the SOP be signed physically by applicant? Which means it has to be printed out, signed then scanned? Or it doesn’t matter?


Please i am about to submit the application,

Thanks in advance
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by makano:
I have of recent been seeing applicants putting up the 1st five figures of their application numbers here, please note all these doesn't matter..

IRCC Visa officers doesn't really do a first come first serve when attending to Visa applications. Once applications are submitted, they are randomly assigned to different Visa Officers, so the response of an application depends on the Visa Officer handling that application, that is why we see an applicant that applied January this year getting a final decision before an applicant that applied November last year, so you all should stop giving yourselves unnecessary pressure as to who applied before who, IRCC doesn't follow the first come, first serve policy..

For you all putting your application numbers here, now I can assure you that when you all start getting final decisions, you would see that some applicants that submitted later will get final decision before applicants that submitted earlier..

Putting your application numbers here knowing who applied before who isn't really necessary, you all should focus on other things, Canada isn't running away or stopping study permit application just like the UK..

Hello DemmyDD

When it comes to getting a response or update from IRCC as regards your application, there is no specific timeline..

After responding to a PFL from IRCC, the next response you should get is a Final decision, so be hopeful it doesn't result to a Ban..

In your case, a refusal is still far better than a BAN, and it can also be an approval..

In all, just be hopeful for a positive response..

Hello Adelforeal

1. One thing the Canadian Visa Officer wants as regards POF is that the declared funds for the application must be readily available for the purpose of study ad expenses all through the applicant's stay in Canada.. So if you can convince the Visa Officer that the declared funds as regards your spouse's application will be available, then you can go ahead.

2. We always advise Married couples that when one spouse wanna apply for a Canadian study permit, the other should stay behind for the purpose of Home Ties... Remember Study permit application is a temporary Visa, so you going together with your spouse will be obvious to the Visa officers that you guys wanna japa and never return, and that is against the eligibility law of IRCC.. All temporary Visa application must show that the applicant will return back to his/her home country..

So let your spouse apply and get her Study permit and SIN when she gets to Canada. Once she has the docs, then she can apply for a Spousal permit for you to come join her and Visiting permit for your Kids..

Peace
adelforreal:
Hello House,

My spouse is about to apply for study permit having received her offer of admission & acceptance letter from Univ. of Manitoba and i need
your advice on the following:

1) As the sponsor, can i present my Fixed deposit & Mutual fund investment as POF?
Note that my salary account and other supporting documents will be included too but the turnover & closing balance on the salary acct isn't so large hence the need to consider using FD & mutual funds for the bulk of the amount required. I am looking at a total POF of N15m.

2) Is it okay to apply together as this is our intention.

I will appreciate your inputs.

Thank you all.

Hello dchamps

So sorry about your refusal, as our custom is, order for another GCMS notes and tackle the concerns of the Visa Officer and refire to get your Visa.

And as regards the bolded, this just shows to you that 2 applications are not the same, every application is different. What worked for A may not work for B.. You have to understand the situation of an applicant and find ways of working on the applicant's situation to convincing the Visa Officer of the genuineness of the applicant purpose of visit to Canada which is to study..

Its possible you use same approach of application for 2 applicants, and one gets approved and the other gets refused.. Its very possible.

Also note that even if 2 applications are submitted same second, same minute or same hour, be rest assured its not the same Visa Officer that will work on both applications, both applications will go to different Visa Officers..

So the bolded isn't strange at all, it happens..

Peace

Hello tonnymexx

1. He can go for a business course that will benefit his business on his return back to his home country.. It would be difficult for a 2:2 graduate to get admitted for a Master degree program in Canada, so his best bet is a Post graduate degree program(PGD).

2. Yes, you can sponsor him. But you will need to show absolute commitment to his studies all through his stay in Canada.

Hello Smarthill

Ordering GCMS notes isn't a big deal at all.. If you have someone in Canada, the person can order it for you, you will just have to fill a consent form and send back to the person so he/she can complete the order..

Alternatively, you can get 3rd party sites from google..

Its not a big deal, its something you can order yourself with the help of a Canadian resident..

Hello ocpascal

Of course they can be your sponsors, but they are considered 3rd party sponsors..

This means that since they are not your parents, they must go the extra length to convince the Visa officer of their total commitment to your studies all through your stay in Canada. Yourself and your sponsor have a lot of convincing to do in your application as regards sponsorship. This doesn't mean you wont also focus on other areas..

Firstly if you have done your due diligence, you would have taken a little bit time time to scan through this forum. Your response show who you really are.

Like i said earlier, if you want answers to your immigration issues concerning study visa. Continue your journey here. You can't just come with all innocence and rub bullshit on our face.

If you are ready to stay, welcome. Nonsense.

Main reason why you won't see anyone respond to your post.

My first time here, i didn't come to ask for whatsapp group. I stated my issues and people responded immediately.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by makano: 2:58pm On Mar 16, 2022
Of course, even parent sponsors write Letter of sponsorship and Affidavit of Sponsorship.

These documents are to further prove to the Visa Officer of the sponsor's commitment to the study and living expenses of the applicant all through his/her stay in Canada, so yes your brother must provide these documents..

Hello Paskimoney

Your mail should contain the following details:

Your UCI
Your application number
Date of application submission
Name of school
Resumption date
How long your application has been delayed( Dwell on this if your application has well passed the IRCC processing time and your resumption date is close).

Be constructive in your mail , and do not show any kind of anger or frustration, remember its their country so they have every right to let you in their country or not, and not your own right but a privilege to you. So be polite in your mail to them and let them know you will appreciate their timely and positive response to your application so you can adequately prepare for your departure to Canada..

You have no option though since our leaders have made it more difficult to use our naira card to make international transactions..

The $100 is in CAD though and not USD, so it shouldn't be up to 540..

Alternatively, if you have a trusted person in Canada, he or she can be of help..

Hello Illumined

This is a very wrong statement.

There is nothing wrong in getting a loan from a recognised body such as Mpower.. So far the applicant has all the documents from Mpower to back up the loan granted to him. Most Indian applicants apply with the loan they get from financial institution in their country, and they get PPR everyday compared to Nigerians..

So there is nothing wrong in getting loan form a recognised financial institution, you just have to back up your claims with genuine documents..

If you are not sure of what to say, its better you keep mute than confuse the house with wrong advise..


Peace

Do you have to tell the visa officer that you took a loan? Go with your sponsors statement of account, and keep mute about the loan.
