Hello Atigba

I am sure you already know the answer to your question considering the state of our country Nigeria..

Throwing back to 2012- 2013, getting Canadian study Visa was not an issue at all.. People do not have to develop high Blood pressure cos of Canada study Visa, it was almost certain you would get it.. Those times, you do not even have to pay a kobo for school fees before you are issued a study Visa, your LOA was enough, even POF wasn't taken with all seriousness the way it is now .. But so many Nigerians, or should I say Africans took this for granted, they get their Study Visa, get to Canada and refuse to study and they claim Asylum, the government give them all they want, they don't even need to work..

Until when IRCC got to know about this, that was when all these strict rules, delayed application started.. Now from 2016 till date, many Nigeria applicants submit Fake Statement of account with their application all thanks to the counsel of these Evil Visa agents, reason for the reoccurrence of PFL amongst Nigeria applicants..

So IRCC has actually marked Nigeria and many Africa countries in it's black book, so any Nigerian applicant is a suspect..

So that is why they do their thorough "Investigation" on every Nigeria applicant to see if nothing fraudulent is attached with the study permit application. That is why it takes longer for any Nigeria or African applicant in general to get a final decision from IRCC.. They will need to be thorough with these application cos they are very careful with the kind people they allow in their country, that is why Canada is one of the best countries in the world, that is why the country is safe for all, cos they are mindful of the people they allow into their country..

Permit me to say that we are the ones that caused this for ourselves, with the rate at which scam and fraudulent activities are rampant in Nigeria, no country needs to be told that they have to be through on Nigeria applicants, so no one can blame them..

Just imagine if all these Yahoo boys or applicants that use fraudulent Statement of Accounts, just imagine if they are many in Canada, you know what the end result will be..

Lemme stop here for now..

Peace
Atigba:
I have noticed here it takes alot of time for a study permit visa application to be processed in Nigeria.

Why is it so?.

Is it peculiar to Nigerians or Africans only?.

Because, when I did my biometric in Stockholm today. I asked the babe how many months to process my study permit application. She said 4 weeks maximum.

I also noticed they don't ask for medical and police report in EU.

Why are they giving applicants from Nigeria headache.

Hello MrsOwoks

To the bolded, even if she does her Medical examination a day before her delivery, she cant fail her Medical Examination..

I had an applicant, who applied when she was 2 months pregnant, she got her Visa when she was 6 months pregnant and gave birth in Canada..
So for those asking the question if pregnancy will lead to a refusal, the answer is a BIG NO..

Hello buckyfof

This is a normal and regular occurrence though..

They are currently doing a background check on you to see if you are Eligible to study in Canada..

Further review simply means, your application has been passed on to a Senior Visa officer by a Junior Visa Officer for a further review for a final decision of your application.

Your final decision isn't too far, be hopeful

Hello sinorte

The bolded depends on the transaction history of your SOA, the inflow of the account..

For instance, for an account that has major inflow of 100k - 300k for few months and all of a sudden 10M - 15M drops without any reasonable narration of how the money came about, then the Visa officer will definitely have a concern about it.. But an account that has a major inflow of 5M - 12M wont have an issue with a sudden crediting of 15M, cos the account is very active with amounts close to the sudden amount..

Like I always say, the Visa Officer isn't only concerned about the closing balance of the account, they also look at the Transaction history of the account. i.e the Total Inflow and outflow of the duration of the Statement of account submitted..

Peace
sinorte:
Congratulations to all those who have received their PPRs, and God's grace for those in waiting.

Please I would like to ask, how big could a sum of money be for it to be considered a lump sum? Again, what kinds of accounts could receive such amounts for it be considered a lump sum?

Hello bertv66

No one is better than the other.. You just have to work with the one that is convenient for you..

The reason why some applicants go for the new portal is cos you do not need to fill forms unlike what we have with the regular portal where you have to fill 3 IRCC forms and some times these forms give applicants issues cos most time it doesn't open until when the latest Adobe is installed on the system..

Personally, I still make use of the regular portal for the Visa applications I work on cos I am used to it, I haven't tried the new portal though, prolly the next application I will work on..

So both portals are good, some applicants who recently got their PPRs claimed they used the new portal..

So either of the portals is good to go..

Peace

Hello Taiyejenny

There is no disadvantage in deferring to the next available date of your proposed course.. So go ahead if you wanna to defer, just be sure they have an opening for your course for Fall 2022..

Yea, most schools will tell applicants to show commitment by at least paying the tuition deposit, so go ahead and pay the deposit fee, but please make sure you read about the school's refund policy, and if you are okay with their policy, then you can go ahead with the payment..

Peace

Hello b139

Like I always advise applicants, one of the things to put into consideration when applying for a study Visa is Home ties.

There are 2 ways of applying for a student visa as a family:

- You can apply as a family for a study visa application and still get your visa but the chances are very slim, the reason is that this is a temporary visa you are applying for and not a permanent residence Visa.. So you will have to come back home after your studies( even though no one comes back home) cos that is what the Visa officer wants, and there must be a concrete reason for your coming back home and this is where Home ties comes in, now when you all go together, the Visa officer knows you wont come back since you are going as a family, considering you actually applied for a Temporary Visa..

2. You can apply alone, when you get to Canada, you can apply for a spousal permit for your Hubby and Visiting Visa for your Kids. With this kind of application, you have reasons to come back to your home countries i.e your family members will stand as Home ties, cos the Visa Officer will know that you won't wanna leave your family and stay put in Canada.. So you will use your family as home ties and convince the Visa officer you can't leave your family behind in your home country and remain in Canada, so that is why I always advise family applicants to go first and then apply for their family members once they get there..

So bottom line, you can actually get your study permit with both categories, but you have more chances of approval with the 2nd option..

Peace

Greetings to you all,
I have learnt quite a lot in the little time I have been here.
Please any advice.
I have admission for September 2022 and I am about to start the visa application. I have a family of 5 and I intend to apply with my family.

Is it wise to apply for my entire family from the onset or should I apply first? (Do I stand a better chance of success if I apply alone) ?

Also, do Assets such as cars, landed property and pension funds count as proof of funds?

Thanks.

Hello Ogidigan

1. Yes, you will need to explain in details your study Gap, just to convince the Visa officer that you have not been idle all these years but instead you have been actively productive all these years..

2. Age is never an issue when applying for study permit.. Like I have said some months back on this thread, with my experience, the oldest I have seen getting a study permit(Not on this thread though) is a 59 year old woman..
So age is just a number, just do your home work by giving the Visa Officer convincing reasons why you want you wanna study in Canada..

It simply means you are forfeiting the previous approved application by applying for a new application..

Hello Munaedo

Please if possible apply now, your resumption is for May 2022 for God sake, you have no time at all.

The Tax certificate is not a compulsory document, many have gotten their Visas without Tax certificate, so please go ahead and submit your application with the document your sponsor already have, which I believe SOA is included..

If the Tax certificate is ready after the submission of your application and you wish to still submit, send it to IRCC via Webform or email..

But like I said earlier, it is not a compulsory document...

Hello ybahrbz

1. A Year

2. Changing your DLI if you’re outside Canada

If you change your DLI before coming to Canada and you don’t inform IRCC , you won’t be allowed to board your flight.
If your application is still in progress, you can inform IRCC that you changed your DLI by submitting a new letter of acceptance using the IRCC web form or email.

If your application has been approved

If your application for a study permit has been approved and you change your DLI, you must submit a new study permit application with a new letter of acceptance.

You must also pay all the fees for the new application.

Hello blessing

You have every right to disturb them with mails informing them that your application is passed the processing time and your resumption date is getting close..

Send at least 5 mails day and night, everyday until you get a response. You can also order for your gcms notes while you are still waiting , that will also let you know what actually is causing the delay..

It may be that they are in need of an information or a document from you, and they haven't sent you the request yet.. So your Gcms notes will come in handy here..


So do as advised without relenting until you get a response from them.. Be consistent with the mails..

It will end in praise..
