Oga makano abeg drop your email abeg. Thanks

Do not waste your time using this factor to determine if you will be approved or denied...

As we all know, IRCC can not be predicted.

Personally, I have seen applications of 14 months (1 year and 2 months) that ended up getting refused. And some applications that got approval in weeks, and vice versa..

Just make sure you put in the best application you can, and back it up with prayers..

Peace

Abolade4545:
hello everyone ,is it possible for an application to be four months and still under processing,will such application get approved??

Hello Enddy

The bolded is the funniest thing I have read today, is the agent a Visa officer who is sure of getting the Visa?

Run from such a person, 1M for what?

No one can guarantee you Visa except God and Visa officers (that is if you meet the Eligibility though)..

Even when peeps come to meet me and say Makano we have seen you have given people Visas, I immediately correct them that I am not a Visa officer that gives Visas, I only have a very wide knowledge of the Canada Study and spousal permit applications and God has been favoring such applications..

So do not fall into the wrong hands, no one can assure you of Visa not even a Guru..

Despite my very high rate of approvals here on nairaland and outside nairaland, I still get refusals for some applications I handle, but later get the Visa when I re-apply for such applications.. No guru here or the so-called agents can tell me he/ she has 100% approval, don't be deceived..


Peace

Enddystar:
A friend just received this hot breakfast today.

She submitted her application by herself and now regretting why she didn't opt in for an agent.

She said she called an agent afterwards who told her to pay N1m to help her get approval.

Dear house, kindly advise

Hello Checchem

You can use any of the portals..

If you plan to submit bulky documents, go with the GCKEY portal (4mb).
If you have fewer documents to submit, go with the new portal (2mb).

Peace

Chechem:
Please house, in sending my application, can I use the new oral alone do I have to open a GCkey account too?

Below is the address you should address it to

To,
The Visa Officer,
Deputy High Commission of Canada,
4, Anifowose Street,
Victoria Island,
Lagos, Nigeria

Peace

Abeg441:
Hello house, when writing my SOP and letter of sponsorship do I need to address it to any of the Lagos or Abuja offices? If yes a little guidance and references please.

PPR Alert!

2nd time applicant.

1st application was denied based on financial assets. I was very disappointed as I thought my profile and financial history was good enough to get PPR.

My guru @Makano advised we order for GCMS and quickly re-fire. So we ordered for the notes, it came back and we gathered that the VO had issues with lump sum on my account statements.

So we quickly adjusted my SOP and provided explanations plus verifiable receipts for the lump sum, and reapplied again.

As God may have it, application was approved.

My Timeline;
Sep 18th - Application submitted (Biometrics was done on the 22nd of April, 2022 so it updated)
Nov 15th- Eligibility Review
Nov 16th- Medical updated to passed (I did upfront medicals on the 21st of April, 2022)
Nov 16th- PPR

I attached below documents

• Letter of Acceptance.
• Academic and Professional certificates.
• Academic Transcript.
• NYSC certificate.
• Birth Certificate
• Police clearance certificate
• Bio-data page of International Passport
• Drivers' license.
• NIN slip.
• Updated CV
• Staff ID Card.
• Letter of Introduction from my employer.
• Promotion letter.
• Pay slip

CLIENT INFORMATION
• Land Documents (Receipts, Sales Contract, Deed of Assignment, Survey plan)
• Particulars for 2 cars.
• Siblings Birth Certificate and Photos
• CAC document for registered company.

PROOF OF MEANS OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT
• SOP (6 pages).
• Statement of account (Individual and Company) above 20m.
• Salary account Statement.
• Documents showing business presence in Nigeria.

Big shout to all the guys doing great work out here and special shout out to @makano for being my guide all through the rainy days. And of course to the hopefuls, y'all will share your own good news on this very thread.

Remain blessed!

Hello
Please how do I know the visa office processing my app
Please help

If you are so interested in Niagara, then go ahead..

But please note, there are many good ontario Colleges that do not require an evaluation of your results before they give you admission.

Peace

oluwjuwonlo:
please how can I send my transcript to WES for evaluation, it's one of the requirements for admission to Niagara university, please anyone that have been offered admission to Niagara university how do you go about this?

you cant be 100% sure.

Nairobi attends to 95% of Nigeria applications. I have seen where London and Accra IRCC centers attended to Nigeria applications.

So be guided.

Peace

Can you help with the email address?

Hello josy

Canada study Visa fee = 150CAD
Biometrics = 85 CAD

Yes, IRCC checks the authenticity of a company, so do not try to do any fake thing or you risk getting a 5 year Ban..

Peace

Josy18ng:
Good evening house, trust your day went well. Pls I need a cost of student visa fee and also does Canada confirms d activeness of applicant sponsor company name I await your response. Thanks

Like seriously?

So what exactly did you make payment for?

I guess you have just dashed IRCC 235CAD or whatever amount you paid.. Why didn't you come on this thread and ask question before taking a step, now you have taken the wrong step, and you are showing up here..

In my 6 years of presence on this thread and outside this thread,this is the 1st time I will hear of this action of yours..

What I think you can do now is for you to send IRCC an email explaining yourself, if they can refund your money so you can do the proper and right thing.

Peace

bbk86:
No, i didn't upload any document before payment

Hello hammed

Below is the link to book an appointment for your biometrics..

hammed71:
Good evening guys, please i just got biometric letter from ircc, please how do i book biometric from lekki vac please, thank you

The question is, did you upload any document before you made the payment, dunno why you are finding it difficult to answer this simple question..

Peace

bbk86:
no i am yet to submit

This is normal..

If your application has passed the 12 weeks processing time and you are resuming January, it will be wise to start sending them emails regarding your delayed application..

Peace

Seyitorl2:
Good evening house. my application status shows in progress in all categories except for biometrics which was completed in August. What does this mean? should I be concerned? My medical was upfront and completed on 16th September and application had been submitted since August.
Thanks in advance.

You have not answered my simple question..

bbk86:
its asking me to make a new payment to submit

I have given answers to your question already, check my previous posts..

Peace

larryrichie:
@makano Good day to you and happy Sunday.

Please i need your answer on this, when sending mails regarding application has passed the approved processing time to the offices, can i send same one message to the offices or i will have to compose different messages for each offices i am sending mail to ??

Please i will appreciate your response on this.

Thanks

Did you upload and submit any document at all?

bbk86:
i paid using this link https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/pay.asp
how can i rectify this?

I won't exit the thread, not even anytime soon...

I can be very busy but I will always give my wealth of experience on this thread anytime I am available here...

Peace

Panasonic101:
You’re directing your questions to just one person on the platform. I don’t know much about the whole visa thing but I’m sure we’ve people that can give you the right answer….If makano should exit the platform then your question will just be there… you people should stop directing questions to 1 person jare…

Hello larryrichie,

So sorry for the late response, had so much to do..

Now to answer your question, anyone works..

You can send the same message to the different IRCC offices, no harm. The most important thing is that you have passed a message across to them and they understand your reason for the mail sent to them.

Also when emails are sent to different offices by an applicant, the other offices re-direct the mails to the office handling that particular application.

Peace

larryrichie:
Please any body with an answer on this question, when sending mails regarding application has passed the approved processing time to the offices, can i send same one message to the offices or i will have to compose different messages for each offices i am sending mail to ??

@makano still waiting for your response also.

Thank you all

Hello bbk86

How do you mean you paid for your study visa and biometrics separately and which direct link are you talking about?

The fees are always calculated together. Study Visa application 150CAD + Biometrics 85CAD = 235CAD..

It is after uploading of your docs on the IRCC portal that you proceed to payment, you have done it the wrong way if you didn't apply this way..

Peace

bbk86:
Good day house,

Thank you again Oga @makano ������

Hello,

Please, how can i get in touch with @Makano? I need his professional touch on my SOP.

Hello ARRIVA

If you are self sponsor, it can be an issue.

But If you are using a sponsor and you are the one submitting the Microfinance SOA, then it shouldn't be a problem so far your sponsor is submitting the regular Bank SOA..

Even though I have not experienced approval with Microfinance SOA, I have experienced approval with Piggyvest (it was the applicants that submitted Piggy SOA and not the sponsor).. So I wanna believe Microfinance shouldn't be a problem if you are using a sponsor...

Peace

ARRIVA:
does using a microfinance bank statement as proof of fund affect my study permit outcome?

It's not compulsory, many of the study permit-approved applications I have handled didn't submit Police Certificate.

It's only compulsory for Express Entry (PR Application).

Peace

Abeg441:
Hello house, please is Police Clearance Certificate compulsory?
