Hello ARRIVA

No one can help you do your police certificate because your fingerprints will be required, and we all know no tow person have the same fingerprint not even Identical Twins.. So you have to do it yourself..

At the same time, you can get your Study visa without a Police certificate as we have seen many applicants on this thread getting their PPR without ay Police certificate..

Peace

ARRIVA:
Is it possible for someone to apply for Nigeria police certificate on my behalf? As i am not available to do it myslef.

Hello Kokolanre

I dunno if your application is still on or not..

And you do not need to drop the whole 48 pages, just drop the notes of the Visa officer that handled your application.. This can be found at the last part of your GCMS notes..

Peace

kokolanre123:
Boss Good day long time, Would like to share the gcms notes we got, Want to know if you could find time to help interpret or If i can share here but its about 48 pages so dunno

Sorry about your refusal bro..

Pick up yourself and order for your GCMS notes. when it is ready, drop it here for the Gurus to interpret for you and also guide you on how tackle the concerns of the Visa officer..

Peace

dollymon:
Hi guys, I got refused today.

Breakfast on vals day, I'm heartbroken.

Hello Naturalobserver

150$ for GCMS notes? Waawu.. Applicants actually pay to get your GCMS notes but its never ever close to 150$..

For him to be advising you to apply for UK, I wanna assume your application has been refused or you have probably gotten a Ban...

Cos why will he be advising you to apply to another country, if your Canada study permit application is still in process?

One thing we have been telling you applicants is that even if at all you wanna use an agent, please and please be in the know of everything that happens to your application i.e know all the documents that will be submitted, have the username and password of your IRCC portal, make sure its your email that is used in your application so you can be getting direct messages from IRCC..

The agents are just terrible people, I was chatting with an applicant on this forum not too long and he told me his friend used an agent for his study permit application, and the only document te agent asked for was just the international passport, that he will provide other documents.. Can you just imagine such statements?

Its just so unfortunate for many applicants falling in the trap of the heartless and clueless agents.. Please make sure you take the necessary steps as regards your ongoing application cos if you end up getting a BAN, you are the only one that will suffer for it, his business to ruin other peoples dreams will continue..

Peace

Naturalobserver:
Okay let me make it clear
I applied to study in Canada last year through an agent.
Paid 500$ (CAD),235$ (CAD) for visa and 250,000 naira for State Of Account
Got Letter Of Acceptance from the school..Lambton college in Sarnia,Canada.
I paid 2000$ CAD as deposit for school fees.
Did my biometric 2nd week of April 2021.Since then no satisfactory information from the agent. He kept on telling me he hasnt heard anything from the embassy and concluded its because of covid.Anytime I ask him he kept on saying nothing yet maybe cuz COVID..I dont even have access to any of my account..
It was nothing until December last year I started doubting him when he told me he paid 150$ for GCMS note and with the information I get here i havent seen anything like paying money for GCMS note.To make it worse he was advising me to just apply for UK and started stating all the requirements,that was when I got angry and told him to send me all the money I have given him so far that am no longer interested in pursuing the Canada admission anymore ...
He sent the part school fees I paid ..{$2000 (CAD)} and my passport...I asked him what about the remaining. He told me the remaining money were used accordingly so I just ended the call immediately..I actually went for biometrics so on my own am removing the $235 for visa and the $500 for admission because of the ACCEPTANCE Letter I got from the school...But I still dont think the State Of Account has been used hence the reason for my question..I will be grateful to get useful information...Thanks

@ bolded

I remain loyal bro..

Keep up the good Job, guru Teemenzo..

Hello Wizzy

You should send a mail to your school with all these explanation, so the school will know that you have actually done your part as regards payment of school fees and that the delayed payment of your school fees isnt any fault of yours but the Central bank of Nigeria..

Make sure you submit evidences t back up your claim..

Peace

WiZiggy:
Status shows SUBMITTED, ADB DISBURSEMENT REVIEWER, for the past 2 weeks. My school says I should upload proof of payment to OCAS portal and I don't have any yet, deadline is 15th Yea I did contact my bank and they said the delay is from CBN �

Hello WiZiggy

What is the status on your tradesystem?

I will advise you contact your bank and inform them that your school's deadline is the next day...

Peace

WiZiggy:
Please all, for the past 2 weeks have paid my tuition using the e form A, been waiting for my bank to debit me. My deadline is next tomorrow February 15th. What should I do please ?
Ps: school already extended tuition deadline for me from 1st February to the 15th February
please kindly advise @lekibobe @makano @ketima @frankrobnn @omiinii @osemigho @teemenzo

It means you will have to wait for an update from IRCC..

And if you cant wait for Medical request from IRCC , then go ahead with an Upfront Medicals..

Peace

TittyLover:
I did my biometrics on November 24th and didn’t get any update till now not even for medical , what does this mean?

I am a first time applicant

IELTS is not a compulsory document for study permit application...

Peace

RubyA57:
Good Day house,
First time post.
Asides using the NSE Route, do I need IELTS for study Visa application

Hello WiZiggy

So far so good, I haven't seen anybody here or outside this thread using his/her Piggy savings account as POF...

That doesn't mean it cant be used though, so please do more reasearch and make your findings..

Others that have used it for their approved application can let us know..

We learn everyday..

Peace

WiZiggy:
@ketima @frankrobnn @makano @osemigho @teemenzo
Please is a PiggyVest savings good for use as POF?

Hello Demmy10

It will be updated in no time..

You wont need to do another Biometrics as a second applicant, so it will be updated in no time..

It will end in praise..

Peace

Demmy10:
How long does it take for IRCC to update biometrics to completed as a second time applicant?

Hello Jessica

Dunno if you are a 1st time applicant,

If you are not, you can do away with the police certificate, as its not a compulsory document...

Many applicants here have gotten their PPR without a police certificate.. It's not actually worth the stress..

You can get your Visa without it, as failure to submit it as never been a reason for refusal..

Peace

Jessica50:
I don't know anywhere in lagos

Hello Jessica

Police certificate is only done in Alagbon and not any police station..

Even Abuja contact Alagbon for it....

Peace

Jessica50:
I had no idea it's done in lagos and abuja, I was thinking is any police station, I paid 20k, I submitted in my first application and passed background check, which police station in lagos is it done

Hello Chechem

Most schools do not make IELTS compulsory for Nigeria applicants cos they know we are an English speaking country, so you should submit your WAEC, just to show that you were taught in English language in your home country..

In addition, a graduate certificate program is a lower degree to M.Sc., this doesn't show Career progression..

You are expected to apply for a PhD, or at least another Masters...

Except you wanna hide your Msc and apply for the graduate certificate program..

Peace

Chechem:
Goodevening house, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this...

I want to apply for a graduate certificate program in a college, I have BSc and MSc, will I be asked for ielts?

You welcome

Halyshia:
thanks makano

Hello mama12345

So far your application has passed the processing time, you have every right to keep disturbing them with mails.. Since you know the office handling your application, then channel your energy to that office..

Sending too many mails isn't a reason for a refusal, so do not fret...

Peace

mama12345:
Hi Makano, i have gotten mails from them saying my application is under review, I know my processing office is Nairobi.
My question is do I keep sending mails to other offices or just Nairobi?

Hello Tilly365

Go to their headquarter, they should get it done for you there..

Peace

Tilly365:
Good evening everyone. Pls I heard about the NSE for student visa approval today and noticed FirstBank isn’t on the list of Banks for mybankstatement to show Proof of funds. My sponsor uses only a first bank account. Is there a way around this or does it mean I’ll have to apply via the normal route. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Very possible..

But make sure you include your UCI and Application in your mail..

Peace

Halyshia:
please is it possible I use different email from the one I used on my application to mail them?

Hello Yureyes

Keep sending them mails without relenting..

Keep disturbing them with mails and webform until you get an update from them..

Peace

Yureyes:
Please is there anyone still waiting since August 2021? School has resumed since last month and everything is just quiet from IRCC’s end. The last correspondence from them was medical request in November. This is getting tiring.

Hello Blessing

Even though the message isn't related to any UK BAN, be rest assured Canada will know.. You see that part in the GCMS notes called "Info sharing", yes that part, its all about these.. As part of the background check, Canada shares information with other top countries(UK inclusive) as regards the immigration status of each applicant, which I am sure they will also do in your case...

It will take a Miracle if you don't also get a Ban from Canada, I just hope you declared this UK ban to Canada when filling your form and you also stated it in your LOE that you have previously gotten a 10 year BAN from the UK..

I just hope you did that, cos if you think you will hide that from Canada by denying it, be rest assured Canada will know, these are developed and advanced countries and not Nigeria that anything goes..

Agents are from the pit of hell, they will put an applicant in trouble and go on the run.. Probably he will go somewhere else and continue his business, at the end of the day , its the applicant that looses and suffers for it..

Peace

blessingflow:
Good day @ makano, @teemenzo @osemigho and all the gurus in the house. I just got recieved this reply below to the gmc I raise a week ago. Pls I want to ask, is this the reply they send to every body or it's just specifically for me alone. Pls your advise is needed especially as regards the criminality...a certain agent messed me up 9yrs ago and sent fake doc. For my UK visa application, even after paying him 200k and given him my original docs. I didn't get to know until I received a 10yr ban from the UK embassy, i tried arresting the agent, but he has been on the run. Pls, could this be the crim!nalty canadian embassy is talking about below? Pls i need urgent reply and my heart is pumping plenty blood at once right now.

Good Day,

Thank you for your email.

Kindly note that this application is still under active review by our office. At the moment, we are not in a position to give a clear indication of when we anticipate finalizing this application. However, we wish to inform you that our office is doing the necessary to ensure that this application is processed and finalised within the shortest timeframe possible.

Please note that the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act requires that each person applying for a visa to Canada be screened in many different ways, including health, security and crim!nality. Often, delays in the processing of an application are out of our control as some processing steps require coordination with external authorities. Therefore some applications due to the complexity of their nature may take a bit longer to finalise than others

Our office will contact the applicant and sponsor as soon as all verifications are completed, or as soon as more information or documents are required.

We realize that the situation is unfortunate and regret that our response could not be more favorable at the moment.

Regards,

Hello Ebuka

For those still expecting their PPR, someone once told me to go to the blessed sacrament . I only spent 30mins there and mine came the next day . All I will say is hold on to God cos He alone has yours waiting for you after you have done your part. All I see is GRACE!

Hello Marytess

Is not compulsory but necessary.

It further strengthens your employment status in your home country, so try and submit it.

Peace

Marytess:
Hello house, Please is the letter of INTRODUCTION FROM EMPLOYER compulsory?

Also, please does anyone have a sample of it. Google isn't helping.

Thanks

Hello Annywumex

Applying for a Diploma with a BSc doesn't show Career progression...

Unless you have a strong and convincing explanation to the Visa Officer on why you wanna go for a Diploma and not a PGD or Masters as expected of a BSc graduate..

Peace

Annywumex:
Hi everyone,
Special Kudos to everyone doing great things here.
I'll like to know if it is possible to easily get a visa approval for a diploma course. I already have a Bsc.
I just got an admission for diploma and would appreciate it if anyone can guide me properly. Thank you

Hello gentleluv

The link for the payment instruction is in your LOA, alter which you will then proceed to www.tradesystem.gov.ng to fill form A..

The information you will need in www.tradesystem.gov.ng to fill form A, would have been gotten from that payment instruction page..

Peace

gentleluv:
Hello house pls what's the best mode to use for tuition deposit for Conestoga college. Very urgent as I have two days left

Hello Omiinii

This is not totally correct though, any one that got PPR with a one year course can actaully apply for a study permit extension if he or she wanna further with probably another year program..

I have many peeps who got to Canada with a year course and they are still there even after 6 - 7 years..

Those with a year course can apply for a study permit extension after getting admission for another year course, and this will give them more than a year PGWP..

Peace

Omiinii:
Even lawyers wouldn't advise you to go for a program that only guarantees 1 year PGWP. Everyone's goal is different. Some just want to get the canada. Whatever happens afterwards doesn't concern them while some want to benefit as well by gaining status. PR/Citizenship. If your goal is the latter, A 1 year program shouldn't even be on your radar. Get it right. There's nothing to leverage with a one year PGWP. No need for me to even explicate further.

Hello dikadubai

The bolded is not a good move though, If I am a Visa Officer, I will refuse your application..

Why will you wanna leave your Children behind, except the kids are above 18 years of year, even at that, every child will always need their parents around them.. Applying with your hubby and Leaving your Kids behind is a Bad move, you can go with your kids and leave your hubby behind, that is still okay.. We have seen female applicants with kids from age 1 - 5 going with their Kids and their Hubby later Join them..

This is my advice for you, apply for a study Visa alone.. When you get your study Visa, then you can now apply for a visiting Visa for your Kids and a spousal permit for your hubby.. That is what most married applicants do, and we see testimonies of their PPR here on this thread..

Like I always say, when applying for a study permit Visa, you have to think like a Visa Officer

Peace

dikadubai:
Thank you so much. I will apply and hoping to get admission. Please � would you reply my email so I will update you about every steps. And [b]please I'm married and can I apply for study permit and visiting visa for my husband as accompany spouse. We have children [/b]and aged parents and siblings as home ties. For my husband to be around me for the first 3 to 4 months of my stay settlement in Canada.

Yeah, sure

Where ever you are in the country, you can DHL your passport to either Lagos or Abuja for your Visa stamping..

Peace

Obibaby:
Good evening.
Please I have a ask

Can one submit passport from anywhere outside Lagos or Abuja? I did biometrics in Lagos though.
Thank you.

Hello quin9

You get to have a chance of correcting a misinterpretation when IRCC sends you a PFL, which in most cases doesn't end well if you are not really convincing with your explanation on why you gave them a false information in the first place..

That is why I always encourage applicants not to give false information when applying for any Canada Visa(not just study visa), cos IRCC are very good in keeping records of applicants, that is why every applicant have a UCI..

If by any reason you have to hide some information about yourself when applying, that means you will have to remain silent about such information for life, that's if you are still in the process of getting a Canadian Visa or you are in Canada..

Peace

quin9:
Congrats to everyone who has received their good news this week.

Dear gurus,I have one big question,though it’s not really student visa related.
How does one correct a misrepresentation?
Like the person applied visiting visa years back,filled that he has Bsc where as he doesn’t and now wants to apply for visiting(wife is in Canada already) Do they write letter of explanation to explain or use an immigration lawyer?

Hello JNATH

First, when choosing a sponsor, please if you are not gonna use your parents, then use any of your immediate family members to be your sponsor.. Don't be pushed by just using anyone you don't know or have relationship with as your sponsor..

As for your sponsor, what does he do, does he have a regular and consistent income? if so, I will advise you exercise patient and give him time to work on his SOA at least for some months...

You as the applicant, you also need to work on your SOA cos you will have to submit it for your study Visa application...

If you want my professional service for your application, you can contact me via my email address on my profile..

Peace

JNATH:
I am begging someone should just hear me out and guide me. I really need help on my visa application. Below are my concerns and worries
1. The person I initially want to use as a sponsor is not that financially stable right now. I am just confuse in between. Pls someone should help me out.

Hello Wiziggy

Before you make such huge commitment of paying your school fees, be sure to read up the refund policy of the school..

One major thing to consider when applying to a school is to understand the refund policy of the school cos unfortunately, many schools do not refund tuition fees..

So read up the refund policy of the school to be sure your money would be refunded to you, if your visa is refused..

Peace

WiZiggy:
OK thanks for the response, but will the tuition fee be refunded if one keeps reapplying and in the end decides to quit, *just curious about the huge amount involved in tuition
