Hello Onikoyijnr

I will advise you to go with Fall 2022, this will give you enough time to put in a convincing application, and even when you get your Visa, you will also have enough time to prepare for your travel plans...

Peace

Onikoyijnr:
Good evening all, please I need your guidance. I am about to apply to Universities in Canada for my masters degree. My plan is to apply for a post graduate course in Economics at the university of Manitoba next week.
For my planned year for the commencement of study, please I need your guidance on the year to pick, can I proceed to pick September 2022 as my start date for the program considering the processes and the lot of time involved in getting a Visa after getting an admission.

Please I need you all advice and suggestions many thanks.

Hello Fawaz

Being refused twice isn't an issue, as we have seen applicants here getting approved after their 4th, 5th re-application..

Personally, I have worked with many applicants like this, so it's not an issue.. And to your GCMS notes, I didn't see the concerns of the Visa officer, that is what will give you a direction on how to address the concerns and get your Visa in your re-application..

Peace

Fawaz12345:

Hello Henrie

She can try for a Masters' even with her 2:2, but truth be told, it is difficult getting a Masters admission with a 2:2 because of competition from 1st class and High 2:1 graduates..

A PGD will be ideal for her(less competition), but most times we advise applicants to go for a course related to their work experience especially if the said applicant has finished school more than 5 years.. i.e if the applicant has been working for over 5 years, then he/she should go for a course related to his/her work experience..

And if the applicant wanna go for a course relating to the 1st degree, then the applicant should do a lot of work by convincing the Visa Officer on the reason for going for that course despite not doing anything relating to that course for so many years..


Peace

Henriie:
Hello everyone. Please a friend of mine got 2.2 BSc in mass communication. She does have years of work experience in sales. She intends to go for Masters in management and the question is any chance of her getting an admission with her 2.2 or should she apply directly for admission in pgd programs?
If she does qualify for Masters please what school would you recommend if you got an idea? I appreciate your response. Thank you

Hello Prettymi20

You do not need to wrap your head about a "Purpose of Visit" refusal reasons..

It is one of the easiest reasons to tackle even without ordering for GCMS notes..

But please order for your gcms notes, if you can (Recommended)

Prettymi20:
So sorry about the delay Teemenzo. It will end in praise.

I was also refused based on purpose of visit, still trying to wrap my head around it and how I can tackle it.

Hello Teemenzo

Sorry for your refusal, was gunning for your approval though, seeing you were always positive here..

Your refusal reasons are easy to tackle even without a gcms note, you failed to convince the Visa Officer of a career progression in your application and also that you are a genuine student going to Canada to study.. A strong and convincing SOP/LOE will do the magic..

Travel history will disappear if you take care of your purpose of visit as we have seen applicants with a virgin passport getting Visas. So it is never a refusal reason..

To fulfill all righteousness, order for your GCMS notes though to know the exact concerns of the Visa officer, no guess work..

Peace

Teemenzo:
Guys, i got refused just now. See attached

Hello Katehasty

Since your resumption is in January, you have every right to disturb IRCC with multiple emails everyday. Let the content of your mail look or sound urgent because your resumption is a little over a month..

Send them at least 5 emails every day.. Send individual emails(do not copy any office, let it be direct) to Lagos, London, Nairobi, Accra.. Let the subject of your mail be URGENT..

And as for your GCMS notes, you can resign and resend to them.. But if you do what I say as regards the daily mails, you should get a positive response from IRCC before the GCMS notes drop..

It will end in praise

Katehasty:
Mr makano i actually did this but only for me to get this mail from ircc in the below image and Also I got a mail from aitp that I should resign my document October 22 which was the due date that am supposed to get the notes I did and submitted it again and also got below mail from them since then I have gotten no response
Please what do you think could be going on ..doz it mean I have to wait for another 1 month which is dec 3 and I already defer admission to Jan intake..will visa processing meet up

Hello Oluwashindaara

Sorry for the late response, been so busy..

I checked my mail some minutes ago, out of all the messages I got from nairaland applicants, I do not think I got a message from you..

Please you can re-send, I am online now..

Peace

Oluwashindaara:
Hello Makano,

Please I sent you a message, kindly reply please. It's urgent.
Thank you.

Please has anyone gotten gcms recently? I applied since August 24th, still no reply .

The content of your mail matters though..

Keep sending them constructive mails, your final decision should drop soon..

Peace

Carebeyondcure:
Have been sending mails since last week at least twice a day even webform too

Have you been sending them daily mails, if not start asap..

A final decision has been made on your application, there is no reason for them delaying you again..

Peace

Carebeyondcure:
Already One month after my correspondence letter dropped and still no update.

Do you need to be quarantined again, since you have been fully vaccinated?

Just inform them you have been fully Vaccinated, the quarantine plan should not apply to you though..

Applicants that have been fully Vaccinated before leaving Nigeria can confirm this please..

Peace

Tinakem:
@Lianna, Makano and the rest. Good morning to u. Pls how do I go about quarantine plan. I am fully vaccinated but l don't understand what they meant by the plan. Pls help me
Thank you

Hello Ruby

The bolded is not totally correct..

The normal procedure is that IRCC will send Medical request to an applicant when eligibility has been passed, but because of the delay in IRCC sending Medical request, applicants took it on themselves to go for an Upfront Medical to avoid the delay of medicals...

So you doing upfront medicals before or after the submission of your application depends on you.. If you do it before, you will need to submit the E-medical sheet with your application and make sure you state in your form/SOP/LOE that you have done your Medicals and you have attached the E-MEDICALS to the other documents you are submitting.. If you do it after, you will need to submit the E-MEDICAL SHEET to IRCC via Webform and also Email, and make sure your UCI and application number is stated in the content of your mail..

Peace

Ruby22:
Please I need help regarding medicals for Nigerian Student Express. I was told I have to do the upfront medicals before i can apply but I have not been able to get a slot for medicals(both Lagos and Abuja). There are no available slots through to march 16th 2022. Same with Qlife as well.

I got admission to Conestoga College for May 2022 intake. Can someone kindly explain how I can go about starting my Visa application.

You are welcome..

It will surely end in praise...

Peace

kokolanre123:
Thank you so much Makano, I already submitted this , I am hoping for a favourable response on the application by God's grace

Hello Koko

It's really not a compulsory document, especially if it's not stated in your SOP/LOE..

But if you feel you wanna still submit it, then click on the link below for the Nairobi Webform..

https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=Nairobi

Peace

kokolanre123:
Good evening guys … please my wife study leave permit just came in from her office and considering we have applied without it , how do we raise a webform to notify the ircc on this latest development

Hello buchito

No it's not..

Below are the most important and compulsory documents when it comes to Canadian study permit

Letter Of Acceptance (Admission Letter)
Statement of Account (SOA)
The IRCC forms

Without these documents, an application will be put on hold which may later lead to a quick refusal if the documents are not still provided..
An application can never be approved without the documents listed above..

All other documents submitted are just further documents to support the above compulsory documents..

Peace

buchito1:
Hello guys. Good evening.

Is TAX CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE a compulsory document to be submitted?

Anyone please? Makano help...

Good one..

As you people have settled it by apologizing, were your accounts debited?

And it's not everything you react to you here, let some things slide..

We are here to help each other, we the knowledgeable ones(Gurus) are here for the newbies and people that want their Candian dream to come to reality... So please let us be focused.

Ketima and Aijay26, good you both are on good terms now..

It shall end in praise for all expectant applicants....

Peace

Aijay26:
Hey i am sorry too. If i hurt you in any way. I am so sorry . Peace

Hello Aijay26

Since you have done it and it was successful for you, do a comprehensive write-up/Post/guideline with relevant links on how applicants can go about it...

So Justwise can add it on the 1st page of the next part(Part 21) as this part is getting to its concluding part... It's obvious many applicants do not know about this because they may have missed your previous post as regards this information ...

So do the needful so it can be the new approach of application in Part 21 that will start in a few week's time...

Peace

Aijay26:
For the employment history, you will have to upload only the period where you worked outside your academic years. If you worked during the period you were a student, do
Not indicate. All these are all explained in the portal.. Just English comprehension hard ghan !!!!!. I spoke about how to tackle the 2mb space. The section for consent form, make use of it. Trust me it is way easier and self explanatory. Just that English too much

Okay...

Its a new development which will require a lot of awareness, as many do not know about it yet..

With time, applicants will find this new IRCC online platform very useful and convenient..

Kudos..

Concate:
Hi Makano,

A lot of information has been provided on this from page 567 of this thread by myself and @Aijay26. The link was also provided.

Those interested in using the portal can get all the answers they need on the link provided or seek further clarification here.

Lol.. Ok cool.

45 mins just for employment history, that is a lot though.. Prolly with time applicants will get through with it..

Some applicants that do not have bulky documents can find this useful though..

Peace

Scott99tish:
Hi Hon. Makano,

I've checked the process out myself. It's actually cool as it eliminate the imm forms but soo complicated also.
The Employment History will give lot headaches to get through as I used up to 45mins before I found a way through.

My only issue with this new IRCC model is the 2MB limit.
Mehn, Using that will make lot of documents invincible trying to meet limit...
Kolewerk for many people

Regards.

Hello Concate

Where are the 2 students? call them out to come tell the house how they did theirs.. You are the only one talking about it and it seems many here do not really understand all what you have been saying..

Its either you call the students here to come drop the guidelines through which they successfully did theirs or

You give a comprehensive guideline here which applicants here can easily understand and do it themselves.. Let applicants here benefit from this new way..

You can also drop a link on the IRCC website where IRCC stated that application on Study permit can also be done on this portal..

Peace

Concate:
Yes you are right, it says for visitors but when you get to the account sign in/up page, you will see that students can also use it.

At least 2 students here have testified to it. Use this link below. It takes you straight to the sign up page.

Please it is just dawning on me that people use the term 'LOA' instead of admission letter.
I applied using my admission letter, so I want to ask if the admission letter is different from LOA. If yes, how can the LOA be gotten?

Hello Orji007

Having so many millions is not a guarantee for your Visa Approval..

It's one thing to have millions, its another thing to convince the Visa Officer that those millions will be used effectively for the commitment of your studies all through your stay in Canada, and this is where your SOP/ LOE comes to play..

Order for your GCMS notes, so we can know the actual concerns of the Visa Officer.. After which we can strategize on how you can address the concerns of the Visa Officer..

Peace

Orji007:
Good evening great minds,

Please my study visa application was rejected on the grounds of personal assets and financial status.

In my application I provided my sponsors statement of acct and letter showing 16milluon. But still my application was turned down.

Please what should be my next move, will be glad to get a reply from the house. Thanks alot

Hello Phiyin

Your NYSC certificate and recommendation letter from the Ministry will suffice...

Peace

Phiyin:
Good evening house can nysc be used as work experience? If yes is it the posting letter i will scan or i should get an official letter from the institution? By the way i served in a ministry.

Hello Oluwasure

You can go for both, they are both Career progression for a Bsc graduate. But it is advisable you go for a Master's since you finished with a 2:1.

And if PGD is your interest, you should be able to convince the Visa Officer why you are going for a PGD instead of a Master, considering your 1st-degree grade..

In all, you are good to go with either a PGD or a Master's degree...

Peace

OluwasureGig:
Good day canadianlders, I have a 2.1 in geology in a federal university here in the country please which would be my most realistic option between going for a PGD in a college and an M.SC in a university in Canada, thanks

Hello Shinningstar

You do not need to be worried, and there is no timeline when it comes to decisions of IRCC..

Since your account now shows that the additional document has been uploaded, that is progress.

You just have to be hopeful, and if by month-end you haven't gotten a response from them, then you can start sending them daily mails..

It will end in praise

Peace

Shinningstar001:
Hi Everyone,

I applied for study permit on September 20, 2021 through NSE route. I got a request letter on November 1 to submit my original letter of acceptance, I submitted it on November 3. I haven’t gotten feedback since then. My account just shows that the additional document provided has been uploaded. I’m getting agitated.
Please how long does it take to get approval after submitting additional document requested? And how do I know when the visa office has started revising the document? I’m to resume March 2022, really getting worried, but I trust God
