Hello Benwerms

Canada study application is strictly an online process, which means your passport will be with you until IRCC request for your Passport for Visa Stamping..

It was in the era of paper application in the past years, that they withhold your passport until you get a final decision on your application.

Peace

Benwems:
Please, does Canada withhold passport during visa application period ?

When a 50 year old got his/her PPR recently, what's in 34?

This is not Express entry were age counts against you..

Put up a tight and convincing study permit application and see your PPR drop on your hands..

Peace

adventurez:
Hi there,

I want to study in Canada, am 34 do I still have a chance?

Is the bolded even necessary?

Attaching refusal notes again? Mentioning that you have been refused in the past in your form or SOP is enough, they already have your refusal notes with them, so why uploading it again?

Peace

Teemenzo:
Please attach all previous refusals. Failure to do so could be termed as misinterpretation . Because whether you attach it or not, they will know. That's the purpose of info sharing. So not attaching it means you are not giving full details of the applicant and could result to a ban.

My opinion.

Its part of their background check on you and your activities, nothing special..

Be rest assured they have also touched on your Facebook profile and also Twitter..

Peace

Maypearl:
So I check my LinkedIn every night (it’s a weird habit, which I don’t know when I developed). Last night I checked it as usual and I saw that someone from the Government of Canada checked my profile. I hope this is good news.

Yes you can..

I always recommend 5 mails daily, and 3 in the night...

If you feel this can be an overdose, then you can stick to the 5 times daily..

I have applicants who have actually tried this overdose and got updates from IRCC in no time...

Peace

emmalextemtop:
Thanks boss!

Is it advisable to send multiple emails to each of them?

Hello Kingsley

1. When an applicant gets a Medical request, the probability of getting an approval is very high, lets say 90% chance of getting an Approval..

A. No Timeframe, some get their PPR months after Medical Passed, some get their PPR weeks after Medical passed, so it depends..

B. I will advise that if he doesn't get PPR latest 3rd week of April, he should defer his admission to a Later date.. And when he gets an updated LOA, he should forward it to IRCC.

The next step is for you to be patient after doing your medicals for at least 2 weeks, if after the 3rd week of Passing the medical examination and no response from IRCC, you can start sending mails to the IRCC offices as regards your application, let your reason be majorly on your close resumption date..

Peace

Kingskyd:
Happy Sunday everyone.
Just stumbled on this forum few mints ago. Pls permit me to ask few questions on behalf of my bro who’s a first time applicant.

He’s admission is for May 22 intake.
Did Online application (not sure if old/new site)12 feb 22 ✅
Did Biometric 19 feb 22 ✅

He got a medical request letter on 5 March 22.
Eligibility review showing “checking 4 eligibility”.
He was able to get a medical date for 29 March.

Please, my questions are:
1) With d medical request, is he likely to get PPR? (If passed)
IF YES,
A) is there any time frame 4 PPR after medicals?
B) with session due to start early May, can he make it or seek for deferral?

Finally, what’s the next step/advice from this point? Thank y’ll and God bless

Hello Topmc

If you are a Nigerian or you applied from Nigeria, then your application is still in its early stage, its still early to expect anything from IRCC..

If you submitted your Medical E-sheet, be rest assured they have received it, give it a month after your application(i.e March 20), and once your application is passed the processing time, then you can start sending mails to IRCC..

Peace

Topmc:
It's a reapplication and submitted February 20th, 2022 and did medical last year August. I'm yet to get update from IRCC.

Yes, you can..

Your application is well passed the processing time..

Peace

Jayeola007:
Hello Makano thank you for the swift response. It was last year May 13th. Can I send my medical info sheet since eligibility has started?

Sorry about your refusal

Please note that its not the same day you got your refusal that the Visa officer final decision was made..

Final decisions are made days or weeks before the letter of refusal drops, so its possible the GCMS note you applied for a week ago carries the Visa Officer's refusal concerns, but if you insist you wanna order another GCMS notes, no harm in doing that..

Peace

vtino13:
Trust everyone is doing great...

I got a refusal letter yesterday after ircc sent correspondence letter two days ago..

Refusal was based on 1.assets and financial status and 2. Travel history.

I ordered for my Gcms notes a week ago, will the notes carry the concerns of the V.O. since I was updated just yesterday? Or I will need to order a new one

Hello Jayeola

You didn't state when you did your medicals last year,
you didn't also state when you submitted your application and also if you submitted your Medical E-sheet with your application.

But Its possible Eligibility starts and medical hasn't been updated yet, so give it time... If your application has passed the processing time and if your Medicals hasn't expired yet, you will need to raise a webform or email with your E-medical sheet attached..

Peace

Jayeola007:
makano, frankrobbn1, Lekiboboe please I’m a second applicant going for another program, my medicals was last year and it’s still valid. I reapplied and I logged in to see that medicals hasn’t been passed but eligibility review has. Please help me out? Please, is there any issues?

Hello ManlikeDee

This simply means they can see you have funds but they are not convinced the funds will be available for your study and living expenses..

You need to convince them that truly the funds will be readily available all through your stay in Canada....

Hello Shukusheka

It depends though, if your reasons for going for an undergraduate diploma is convincing enough to the Visa officers, then you can give it a try, your age comes to play in this decision too as regards going for an undergraduate diploma.

But as an HND graduate, you can either go for an Advanced diploma or Post graduate Degree course to show Career progression.. If you are not comfortable with the option the school is giving you, you can apply to other schools that will give you an advanced diploma or PGD..

Many applicants get PGD with their HND certificate in many colleges, so do well in getting this colleges..


Peace

Shukusheka:
Hi guys. I am applying for a PGd program at Niagara college with my Hnd. However, the school replied my mail advising I apply for an 2-year undergraduate diploma instead which will automatically guarantee me a BSc certificate. Then with that, I can apply for a Masters in Canada.

My worry is that won't applying for an undergraduate diploma impact my career progression view with the Visa officer? What do you guys think? Please help!

Hello emma

There is no special template, its just a normal way of writing a formal letter.. Just make sure your concerns are clearly stated to the MP as regards your delayed application.. Remember MPs are not IRCC officials, they are members of parliaments who will stand in for you as a potential resident of their province, they will on your behalf enquire about your delayed application from IRCC, they have a direct communication with iRCC, so they get instant response from IRCC.. So they are actually helping you in getting a quick response from IRCC as regards your delayed application, they are not the ones working on your application i.e IRCC officers, so you should know how to construct your write up..

Make sure you are polite with your write up and go straight to the point, no tooo much stories cos these people are really busy.. Also make sure you include your UCI and also your Application number in your write up...

Good luck.

Peace

emmalextemtop:
Thanks so much boss!

Can you send the template of the mail also...

Hello Canadaboy

Lemme briefly talk about Ghost update (GU)

[b]Ghost update [/b]

This simply means an update made to an application in the background, sometimes a Ghost update (GU) may mean the transferring of a file(application) from one office to another, or may significantly mean eligibility review has been passed, or better still it may also mean your application is approaching a final decision cos they are making a final review on your application..

Not everybody gets a ghost update, some applicants do not get a single GU prior to the final decision of their application. Ghost update happens when a case officer makes a note or comment on your case..

In conclusion, Ghost update doesn't have anything to do with the final decision of an application, either Approval or Refusal.. Many get ghost updates and still get refused and vice versa..

It will end in praise

Peace

Canadaboy3:
Do Applicants get ghost updates before refusal or Approval


Is there anyone who got about 3 ghost updates and later application was refused ?

Please does anyone have the IRCC email address? My application is way past the review cycle and I would like to contact them. I have sent a webform but no response yet (Nov 11th applicant). My eligibility review hasn't started, I did upfront medicals on the 25th of January and it was updated as passed on Feb. 11th.

Teemenzo , typical Yoruba Guy

I just don't understand some people though, always quick to take but reluctant to give back..

I do not give audience to such peeps though... His answer is still in my pocket, once he drops his timeline, I will let out..

Na only mumu go answer you. Won tun ti de. Drop timeline iro ni, afi fian go fian come. You get another issue. Transmission na 50k, shebi you just wan dey collect ni.

Hello Iyke

You didn't state who is your main sponsor and Co-sponsor, but with your write up, I wanna assume your sibling is your main sponsor and your maternal Uncle's wife is your Co-sponsor...

Now, the deed gift is very important and the money can be sent to your account and let it be clearly stated in your documents what that amount is meant for i.e Tuition fees, Living expenses e.t.c. Make sure your Sponsor states this in his or her Letter of sponsorship, that a particular amount has been sent to the applicant's account purposely for the tuition or living expenses as the case may be, make sure the particular amount is mentioned and if necessary the date of the transaction, this will eliminate the concerns of lump sum..

You should also reciprocate this in your Proof of funds/Finance section in your SOP, also draw their attention to the gift deed.. Make sure you both are well detailed in your explanation..

I hope this helps..

Peace

Iykevirgo:
Good evening my awesome people,

Please, I need suggestions. I have a very short time frame. My school resumes in May.

For my proof of funds, I want to include Gift deed of cad $11000 from my sibling and maternal Uncle's wife would stand as my sponsor.

Does she need to send the money to my account and I indicate the source in my SOA or I should just get a letter of sponsorship.

Pls , I need answers on how best to present a strong application. It's urgent.

Regards!

Congrats to our declared oldest approved applicant on this thread, I just see God's favor on your application..

Age is not really a factor in this Canada study Visa, just make sure you show how genuine you are to study in Canada and be truthful, personally the oldest applicant I have come across getting a study permit Visa is a 65 years old woman, since then I have come to a conclusion that age is never a stumbling block in getting your study permit Visa..

Even though its a stumbling block to Express Entry application..

Congrats once again Time2soar, Canada cant wait to witness your greatness...

Peace

Time2soar1:
Hallelujah! God has done it.
Got PPR today after almost 10 months

Timeline

First application refused January 29th 2021

Second application submitted May 22nd 2021
Eligibility started May 31st 2021
Ghost update June 3rd 2020
Medical expires August 2021
New medical updated to pass September 2021
Correspondence letter March 3rd 2022
PPR March 3rd 2022
Age over 50 years

First refusal reason was purpose of study and personal assets and finance. In my reapplication, for purpose of study I used sub categories in my statement of purpose such as introduction, why the program, why the school and a specific section on the purpose and benefit of the study. Though I stated all this in the first application I emphasis it more in the second application.

For personal asset and finance, I submitted bank statement and mutual fund investment letter like the first application but this time I liquidated part of my mutual fund investment into my bank account to make sure the money in my bank account is more than the total money I budget for the study for myself and my family then I sent MBS of the bank account and then a new investment letter with the outstanding fund in my mutual fund investment.
I also attached valuation report of my land.

Most importantly I prayed to God for the approval. I give God all the glory because after the first refusal I almost gave up because I though age is against me. More so, I have two Masters degree already and I am going for another Master program but I committed it into God hand and He came through for me.

While waiting I requested GCMS twice but nothing was in them, eligibility shows "review required"

I hope this encourage someone.

Dropping your timeline soon, and you still refused to drop your Timeline?

And you are here again asking another question, without dropping your timeline..

I dunno why you guys do this though, taking, taking and taking only from this thread without giving back to the family that guided you in getting your PPR...

Its pathetic though, imagine if the gurus ain't giving answers to your questions here and everybody is just here asking questions without giving back, how will this thread look like?

I think I need t stop here...

Peace

Cdosky:
Congratulations.
I got ppr too.pls I'm confused.how much am I paying to send my passport. I have been reading 9k from this site unfortunately I see something different on vfs website pls help.
All the gurus pls help o

Its not a compulsory document for Visa application..

You can get your Visa without submitting it.

Teemie22:
Can I submit IELTS (general) for visa application?

Okay..

I got refused based on personal assets even when the money is there. So I want to address that by paying full tuition and doing CAD10k GIC as advised here by people.

Hello Iwale

Sorry my response isnt quick, I have been occupied all through the day, as I am most active at night (normal routine for me)..

Ordering for your your GCMS notes is not really a big deal, Its a thing you can order yourself through 3rd party sites (you can get these sites on google)...

But if you want a professional service for your re-application, then I can come in for you on that, cos Visa application is actually a big deal..

Peace

iwale:
Good mornin mr makano,pls can u order for my gcms note for me pls you can contact me through my email iwale58@yahoo.com pls looking forward for ur kwick response thanks.
