Hello mancinho

Your sponsor can be anywhere from any part of the world so far she is more than capable to sponsor you and committed to your studies all through your stay in Canada , but he or she must have establishments and ties in her home country.....


Also if you have been doing meaningful and productive since the time you left the company, then its workable.. Dont just be idle for so long cos the Visa officers always have problems with applicants being Idle for long...

Good evening house,

Please someone should advise on the way forward as I await my admission for Sept 2022.

Planned to use a USA based sponsor (Sister). Is this a red or green flag?

Also have a Nija sponsor (brother) who is a businessman but the business is not registered.

Graduated in 2018 and worked in a company for a year (With appointment letter, confirmation of employment). Currently a freelancer and have about N4M in savings.

How best could I package my application?

Hello Kokolanre

Your deadline is on Monday and you are just reporting this here on the last working day before your deadline and my reply coming on a Saturday..

Polaris does not have a good record of processing fees on time to schools abroad, Stanbic IBTC is one bank I always recommend to applicants because of their fast processing that gets results in days and at most in a week or 2.. If you had mentioned this much earlier, you would have gotten it done with Stanbic IBTC...

At this point, you can try using FLYWIRE or any online payment solution... Another option is liaising with a Nigerian in Canada that you know and trust, who can pay the fees for you in CAD and you transferring Naira to him/her or anyhow the said person would prefer how the transaction will be..

Hello Marina

IELTS was never and will never(with an exception of an update) be a criteria to speed up a Canadian study permit application even though it was an optional requirement for a study permit application.. But of recent, it isnt a requirement anymore..

What this means is that, you can get your Visa without submitting any IELTS result... Take a look at all the approvals so far, its only 10% - 20% that submitted IELTS...

IELTS is only very compulsory for EXPRESS ENTRY Visa application..

Good evening house , I've been offered post grad. Certificate admission in Conestoga college for spring 2022.

I got 6. 5 band overall but 5.5 in listen ing and reading . Should I include the result in my application or ignore it ? I think it could limit my chances. Waiting for your responses.

Hello Katehasty

This is simple to read and straightforward

According to what I am seeing in your notes, the Visa Officer feels your course of study is not in any way related to your work experience, neither is it related to your 1st degree... So to them you just wanna japa without having any intention to study since you didn't show Career progression with your application.

Also the Visa Officer feels your sponsor, who is your brother is not capable to sponsor you cos your school fees alone would dry up his account, meaning their wont be provision for your Living expenses, miscellaneous and also his dependents... They do not feel you will have access to any funds for the sustainability of your stay in Canada...

Make sure you work on all these before you re-apply.. Chose a degree higher than your 1st degree and also a course related to your Work experience if you have graduated for more than 5 years and a course related to your 1st degree if you have graduated less than 5 years..

You can use your Naira MasterCard as many banks have increased their Limits above 100USD..

I know of GTbank and Access who have increased theirs to 300USD, and some other banks which I may not know of..

So get any of these Bank's Cards and make your payment yourslef, do not use an agent to make payment to avoid Chargeback later...

Hello MJ

Based on what you have shown as your finances they believe that spending the amount of money on your proposed course would not be reasonable. You will need to explain why you are spending so much on the said course, the Visa Officer may feel you have the said course also in your home country, so why not study in your home country which will be way cheaper compared to studying the course in Canada which is way too expensive...

So it's your duty to state why you are spending so much to study this course, dwell on the importance of studying this course to your career, and also the benefits the course offers in your home country after the completion of the proposed program..

Also, what were your tuition + living cost, and how much proof of finance did you declare.

Alhamdulillah!!!

I feel so relieved sharing my PPR as a silent reader of this thread. I applied to NBCC Moncton mainly because I have siblings in New Brunswick. I was a bit worried as I have ties to Canada which reduces my chances of success. However, I took the wisdom from this thread focusing on my ties to Nigeria in my SOP. I did upfront medicals at IOM in early July and submitted my application at the end of July with biometrics a week after that.

Then the wait began, four (4) months of daily checking of my IRCC account, reading posts on this thread, and constant refresh of my email. Other parts of the four months were spent worrying over how small the number of documents I submitted was compared to other PPR posts that I have seen on the thread. After the regular processing time passed, I sent two webforms and decided to request GCMS notes at the end of November.

I woke up this morning to the BVL and PPR mail.

Okay, good to know you have access to your account.. The Afghan thing was then, and I believe its never a reason again..

Find below the emails addresses of the concerned Offices and also the Webform for Nairobi office..

Send at least 5 mails everyday to this Offices, do not copy any office when sending the mail, send individually to each Office... Let them know that your application is far delayed and your resumption time is in few weeks time(January 2022) and you need final decision from them so you can prepare yourself adequately for your resumption date.

Hello Craig

Do you really know the status of your application before you decide you wanna start sending mails, what if you have already gotten a final decision and your agent refuse to disclose it to you..

We all know these agents hide alot of information from the applicants that use them for their study permit application..

For instance like 3 months ago, an applicant contacted me to know what he can do as regards his delayed application that has been on since November 2020, because of my experience with applicants, I immediately asked him if he used an agent or not, when he said he used an agent, I advised he ordered for his GCMS notes to know the exact reason for his delayed case..

When his GCMS notes arrived after a month, he sent it to me and I discovered he has already gotten a final decision for his application 2 months back, and the final decision was a refusal and the almighty 5 year BAN...

Now the his agent didn't disclose this to him and I am sure he does not have the paln to do so.. Now this applicant was left in the dark by his agent simply cos he doesn't have any access to his application... Now imagine him sending 5 daily mails to IRCC on an application that has already been concluded....

So tell your agent to give you access to your IRCC account so you can see and know the true picture of your application befoe taking any step, it is your account and you have paid for the service of this agent, so you have every right to have access to your account and know the true state of your application, so it will guide you on the next step to take as regards your application...

Hello Victor

The bolded has been asked multiple times on this thread and the answer is always there is no specific timeline for anything related to Canada study permit application or any kinda Canadian Visa process.

Even the approved processing time on the IRCC website isn't strictly adhered to..

With my observation and experience as regards the Canada study permit application process, the timeline for each application depends on the application(documents submitted e.t.c) itself and also the Visa officers attending to the applications... What will take 12 months for Applicant A to get a final decision can take 1 month for Applicant B to get the same final decision...

So asking for the Timeline for each stage of the application process is not really a necessary question to ask..

Hello Hibiscuslady

Visa Officers always look out for Study Gaps in every application.. And any Study Gap that is not well explained can lead to a refusal by the Visa Officer.. For applicants that have Study Gaps, you will need to explain in detail what and what you have been doing productively during those years...

If possible, you can outline in detail what you been engaged within each year of your study Gap, if its a job, business, seminars, training e.t.c, just to show you have never been idle in those years of study gap, cos truth be told, Visa Officers do not wanna see any kind of Idleness in an application...

It's not a bad thing having a Study Gap, but it will be a bad thing and a bad move not explaining in detail your productive engagement in those years of Study Gap...

I want to go to get study visa to canada with a view of migrating. I have a MBA already and will be choosing another degree.

Hello Anon

This isn't totally correct... There is no need for a daily message as regards uploading an upfront medical E-sheet...

Have it in mind that IRCC actually work with what the Clinics send to them and not necessarily the ones sent by applicants, but because of lack of patience from applicants, they tend to send their own copy of the Medical result which doesn't actually contain the actual and deatiled Medical Results of the applicant, just a summary...

This is not a delayed application situation where you have to keep reminding them of your delayed application via mails and webform..

Even if you don't submit the E-medical slip after your Medicals, your Medical will still be passed. And this is cos IRCC works with the Full detailed result the clinics send to them and not what the applicant actually upload...

Be guided..

Peace
Anon123:
Google Canadian webform and keep sending the slip daily till your app changes to medical passed.. You are sending daily cos if you send once or twice it wont be updated on your app cos these guys are super busy with multiple apps.

Hello Sailingseafarer

You are lucky you could get a cheap tuition fee of 10kCAD for 2 years..

On the norms, that 20k is below the tuition fees of some schools for 2 years, if you were in that situation, we both know what the answer to your question would be.. In addition IRCC requires nothing less than 30kCAD..

So 10kCAD wont be enough, if you need to build on the amount, please do.. If it requires you work for months, please go ahead..

As a Self-sponsor, your Proof Of Funds must be really convincing to the Visa Officer...

If I pay full tuition, I will be left with 10k USD

My concern is : is 10k enough for POF or should I work for more months and increase that amount?
From your experience, given my course duration, can insufficient POF be grounds for visa refusal?

Note: I am single , employed(I work on ships). I will sponsor myself. My Masters program is very much related to me B.sc and current work.

Let me start by saying thank you to every one on Nairaland especially the gurus who give out free information without asking for a dime, you guys are great and you will all prosper

To this Omicron virus I got two words for it 'Your papa', you can not stop we Nigerians no matter what, we are born fighter, we soldier through everything so you got nothing on us, this travel ban phase will pass and we shall enter Canada by God's grace.

A few background story,
I am one of the Methuselahs on Nairaland, joined since 2006, yes 2006 and was a great contributor to the Free Browsing Tricks (that was the most active thread those years) and left the day the thread was taken down, I was really heartbroken.
I came back partly in 2011 to help people with some few ways on how to unlock paid phone applications for free and got banned and some of my thread locked so I had to open a new account and stayed in the background

Back to the Canada waka, after the endears saga, I knew I was done with Naija and I started looking for how to look for a 'better' country, hence my return to Nairaland
to source valid information and I was not disappointed.

I submitted my application on September 1, 2021.
Did my biometrics September 7.
I did upfront medicals even before I submitted my application, started medical Aug 17 at IOM, got a mail for additional Xray view Aug 27, I thought that was all, only for me to get a mail for additional information, I was told I have to come for sputum test at 7am for 3 consecutive days at IOM Ikeja and I reside in Ajah, so I had to transfer to Q-life,
I paid extra 60k for sputum test and was told they need to culture for 10weeks, it was at this point I almost gave up but na Buhari dey motivate me Ajeh.

Going to Q-life for 3days consecutively for sputum test was not enjoyable for me at all especially for the fact that it is a supervised test, they will watch spit into a test tube until it gets to about 5-10ml, after 10weeks, I had to pay and do another X-ray at Q-life which was sent with the result of my sputum test.

Medical updated to pass Nov 25, come and see celebration when I finally passed my medicals you will think that my study permit just got approved.

Got one ghost update, then Dec 2, I was in the office when I saw the mail, come and see 'tough' man like me shaking inside AC, ran to the toilet to check the mail and login, my heart was racing, hand shaking and bracing myself in case the news was not favourable and then I saw the PPR news, small tears of joy dropped because medicals show me pepper.

I want to thank everyone for all your support.

I have read every contributions and comments from part 17, 18, 19 and this 20. After I submitted my application, I realised I didn't do justice to my lump sum, so I raised a webform, entered Frankrobbn 1 mode with a touch of Makano methodology and a sprinkle of Ketima FBI skills and created a believable story about it and reattached documents to back it up.

I raised a total of 4 different webforms at different times to update my information based on what I read here.

One day soon, I will do a story on my sputum test experience and what to expect.

Hello Bola

According to them, you have the funds to take care of your studies and expenses..

But have it in mind that its one thing to have all the millions and its another thing to show them that those millions declared will be available all through your stay in Canada... Its not about the millions, but its about availability and also commitment of the sponsor..

If you had used any of your parents, you would have gotten your Visa.. But as always, Visa Officers always have issues with 3rd party sponsors..

But using a 3rd party sponsor does not mean you wont still get approved, you can still get approved if the 3rd party sponsor does his home work by showing his commitment and also you showing how related you are to the said sponsor..

If your sponsor has sponsored you in the past on any academic or career endeavour, that will really play a big part..

Work on your funds availability(Yourself and your sponsor), sponsors commitment to your Study(Affidavit of sponsorship and Letter of sponsorship will do the magic here) and stay in Canada...

Also work on your SOP and LOE, very important.

Peace

I had submitted my application before coming across this wonderful platform. I made loads of mistakes, but GRACE swallowed them all. A Canadian consultant ones told me my chances are very slim.
The wait was not an easy one, but we that God for the waiting, He knows it all.

I have learnt so much from this platform. Shout out to @Makano (only God can reward the time you invest in this family), Anon, among others, God bless, and my very own brother @FrankRuben (just too good at what he does; much respect Sir, God bless).
Got so much encouragement from others PPR, but the ones with 6 weeks-2 months timeline were not funny to me at all, chai!

Lessons Learnt so far:
-Keep praying, and keep trusting, even when you don’t fill like. HE IS JUST TOO FAITHFUL TO FAIL YOU!

-Don’t ever be discouraged simply because you have not traveled before, e nor follow! Had traveled countless times to the US, Europe and even Canada, yet, and we have seen 6 weeks approval of someone who has never traveled before.

-Don’t ever take any part of your application for granted; ask questions on this platform (there are really good and selfless guys here) and be ready to invest money if the need arises. I rather pay a consultant@ FrankRuben for example, than go through 3-4times refusal. Try convert visa fees, among other expenses, besides the emotional trauma. Just plan your application.

I will be back for more testimonies, by God’s Grace. This is just the Genesis of it all, for what God cannot do, is not in existence.

God bless!

Hello Bola

Share your notes, lemme have a look at it..

If you are constructive and professionally tackle the concerns of the Visa Officer, you should get your Visa in your next application..

You have a good chance of getting your visa in your next application... That's if you know what you are doing..

Peace

Hi @makano please for someone like me I was refused based on personal assets and financial status. My sponsor was my uncle and he paid my full tuition and transferred my living expenses to me. Asides that I had my own personal funds of about 1.5m, landed documents in my name as so much more. I was shocked when I received my notes and the concern was that funds are available but he/she has concerns that it will be sufficient for mr during my entire course. Mind you my sponsor had over 40million in his account and no lump sum. How do I go about reapplying because I don’t know what else to submit.
