Please what are the other documents a retired civil servant will need to tender as sponsors documents?

Hello Bankky

She should present her birth certificate showing her Lastname(your Father's name) before she got married.. Also her picture with you or preferably your family picture i.e your Father, mother, she, you and your other siblings... Also, your picture with her on her wedding day too is good to go..

Hello good evening and I hope my message meets you well. My sister abroad wants to sponsor me, i Hope it's fine. she is married and bears her husband's name. What are the things she can present to confirm she is my sister?.

Hello Prince

1. Online

2. Create a new GCKey for your study application... EE is an application for permanent residency, while Study permit is an application for Temporary residency, so they are different.

Peace

PrinceAdeAde:
Need advice

My spouse has an EE active profile and is applying for a student permit

1. Which mode of application is prevalent or recommend i.e papper based or online application

2. Is it advisable to use the same GCKey profile she created for EE in putting in her study permit application?


Thanks in anticipation

Hello Malone..

Put the correct employment date, be truthful with your application..

You didn't submit fake documents in your refused application neither did you deny you were refused visa in the past, so yours isn't a major one...

Be truthful with your application..

Peace

Malone122:
thank you very much please I have a question for a friend my question goes thus
First application on his IMM forms the person filled a wrong employment date
Now you planning to submit a new application
Should he fill a correct employment date in the new IMM form Or since they have it on record go with the former one

In his SOP and CV the correct one is there showing dates of employment

Hello Debbie

It's actually too late to do anything.. IRCC has already issued you a 5-year ban..

But if you know deep down you didn't submit any fraudulent document and also if the chargeback wasn't intentional and also you truthfully replied to the Procedural fairness letter sent to you prior to your ban, then you can get a good immigration lawyer and go for Judicial Review..

Peace

Good evening everyone. Please can anyone refer me to the link for the list of the documents needed for visa application. Pleaseeeeeee o

Good one Benquip..

I remember recently one of my applicants told me his agent in his previous refused application told him if he can pay 2 Million naira for express, then his Visa is sure and it will be out within 1 week.. That there are people in the Canadian embassy that will arrange his Visa for him within a week..

Can you just imagine such a statement?

The things these so-called agents do just because of this money... It's well

Peace

Benquip:
Hello my good people.
Please be careful of agents that sell you application that's as fast a speed of light both in Nigeria and overseas.. Misrepresentation is a very big thing. Be careful of frauds.. Do your research diligently before giving money to any agent that's promising you speed of light application.. Don't because you want to travel you will fall victim of fraud 5 years ban isn't a joke....
God Bless Us All and make our application easy...

It's an online application, so yes you can submit it on Saturday/Sunday...

Peace

Malone122:
os it okay to submit an application on a weekend Saturday / Sunday for instance ? Cc Makano

Ooh, you have not even gotten your Visa..

When your Visa is ready, notify the school about your Visa..

They should get you a date that will be within your validity timeline..

Peace

Aissy:
Thank you for your reply
Though My visa application is still under review with the winter admission letter i submitted but the school said after my first visa refusal I mistakenly deferred the admission to fall 2022. Now I am asking them for the fall 2022 admission letter to send to IRCC to notify them of the change of program date but the school said I should wait till the end of November. My fear now is what if my visa is approved before November end?

Please feel free

Blazca:
@Makano please can I send you a mail?

Hello Aissy

Have you informed the school of your PPR?

Also your Visa is valid for a year, so if the deferred date is within the 1 year validity of your Visa, then you have no problem..

But I will advise you inform your school of the new development especially if your deferred date is beyond the 1 year Visa Validity..

Peace

Aissy:
Hello everyone
Hope we are all having a good day
Please I wanted to ask what to do in a situation where after you have gotten PRR but the school then defers your admission to another session?

Hello Debbie

Sorry about your 5 year ban..

For you to have gotten a Ban, it means you refused to reply to the warning in the PFL or your response was not convincing, i.e it lacked evidences to proof your claims...

I personally know applicants that still got approval after Charge back PFL and also of recent, an applicant here got his application approved, after responding to the Charge back PFL..

So Charge back was not the reason for your Ban, you didnt actually do the right thing to defend yourself...

Peace

Debbie345:
I didn't use fake document, there was a charge back

Hello geawears

When your friend knows she has all her original documents, why did she give the Satanic agent go ahead to submit fake documents..

Why do a fake Marriage certificate, can't a Single person get Visa?

I don't just understand people for crying out loud.. If an applicant gets banned, these agents continue with their life and business while the applicant will be the one that suffers for the mess these agents actually caused..

Are you sure she hasn't gotten banned?

Mind you, CANADA has records of all applicants i.e if an applicant is refused and wanna re-apply, they already have all the information the applicnat has put down in the refused application, now you wanna state the original documents which will be totally different from what was submitted in the past..

Anyways, you can send the original documents this time and pray hard that God will grant her favour in the sight of the Visa Officer that will handle her applications..

I still dont understand why an applicant will give a satanic agent a go ahead to submit an application with fraudulent documents..

Peace

geawears:
Guys! A friend has LOA and about to commence her study permit visa application.

She has one previous visa refusal to Canada about 3years ago. But meeeen, the agent did a lot of fraudulent acts as highlighted below.

* He declared my friend married then provided fake marriage certificate (but her study permit visa will show her genuine marital status i.e SINGLE)

* He declared a fake bachelor degree certificate (but her study permit visa will show her genuine BSc Certificate)

* He declared fake employment history (but her study permit visa will show her genuine employment history)

My friend was able to realise all of this on the day of her biometric. It was a big mess.

WHY I AM HERE---- Given the highlighted fraudulent/fake documents highlighted above, please how would you advice my friend to present her visa application, she is even willing to commence her study online. She does not even know how to explain herself in the personal statement. Please advice oooooooo gurus in the house.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

Hello Deronke

I have quiet a number of questions to ask you as regards what you posted,

Was it an agent that advised you to do this kinda application?
Now that you and your hubby both applied for separate study permit applications(strange), what do you wanna use as home ties?

You said you used 5 million balance account, with this I wanna assume you have already paid your full school fees, right?..

How is your inflow and outflow i.e transaction history? cos SOA is not about closing balance..
Are you a self sponsor applicant, cos your hubby cant be your sponsor because he also applied for study permit.
Did you draft an SOP and LOE to explain your situation.. i.e Yourself and your hubby applied for study permit together

I dunno why you both took this step, maybe someone that is void of knowledge of this Canada study application process advised you to do this, which I know is a wrong move. What married applicants do here is that the spouse that have the higher chance of getting an approval applies, he or she uses the spouse as a strong home tie here and when he/she gets the Visa and gets to Canada, then the applicant applies for a spousal permit for his/her spouse to come over..

And for the Married ones with Kids that wanna do a family application i.e going together, the main applicant applies for a study permit, he/she applies for Spousal permit for the spouse and Visitor Visa for the Kids.. And we have seen many applicants here getting their Visa for a family application..

So this your kinda application is not advisable, but who knows, you guys may make history and be the first couples to get your seperate study permit Visas at the same time... It will end in praise despite the ODDS..

Peace

Deronke1:
Hi, actually it's my first time posting here...
Please I want to confirm if I'm on the right track.
My husband and I got a conditional acceptance to study at CNA. Due to long visa processing in Nigeria, we decided to apply for Canada study permit for both of us with the conditional acceptance. We did our biometrics November 9th,and he used his payslip and I used 5 million balance account for statement of account.
I really do hope we are on the right track. Any advice please to help

Hello roberto

1. Your Biometrics is valid for 10 years, so you have no business going to Lagos(VFS) as you can apply online from anywhere...

2. If you wanna apply now, why not. I will advise you to apply now so far your LOA is ready.. When your Visa is out, you will have sufficient and adequate time to prepare before leaving your fatherland..


Peace

robertito7:
Hello all, please I have some questions about applying for visa.

1) I was already did biometrics in 2020 and I want to apply online. Can I submit my application without going to Lagos? What are the pros and cons of applying online against going through vfs

2) My academic session starts in September 2022 when is the best time to apply

God bless us all

Ooh Okay..

Noted with Thanks

Tinakem:
@makano, I think u joined the conversation halfway bro, someone asked what was her PFL and someone responded that it was charge back. I remembered she posted it here when she received the IRCc msg so her own was about charge back which was what Benguin was trying to say.

Congrats Gbemisola,

It ended in praise.. Happy for you

Peace

TheGbemisola:
2 weeks and some days after getting Procedural fairness. God is Good and his mercies endureth forever. I’ll share my timeline soon. I don’t even know how i feel like this. This feeling is out of this world

This is not totally correct..

PFL is not limited to Charge back visa fee.. It actually a letter given to applicant by IRCC to explain why they should not punish or ban the applicant for the wrong doing of the applicant...

It can be that the applicant submitted a fake Statement of Account or fake documents,
The applicant gave a false information in his or her application..
Charge back, e.t.c

So bear in mind, Procedural Fairness letter is not limited to Charge back..

Peace

Benquip:
It was about charged back visa fee

Hello Malone

Just put Yes, then u can just mention the countries you were refused in the explain section...

You will have to state it again in your LOE with details....

Peace

Malone122:
Please when filling if you have been denied a Canadian visa or any other type of visa
And “Yes” is the answer…..( even if it has been more than once for both countries )
should I state the generic response given for denial in the explain section right ? and also do I need to input the date of denial
Example is this okay
Canadian refusal —
I was refused as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on my purpose of visit.
- based on my personal assets and financial status.
USA refusal
I was refused based on section 214B which signifies that I did not demonstrate sufficiently strong ties to my country.

Cc Makano and everyone who has an idea.

Hello DrAFOguns

You failed to provide enough convincing documents to back up your financial claims in your application. what documents did you submit as regards finances in your last application?

The Visa Officer feels the course you are going to study in Canada is actually available in your home country, so why are you planning on spending a lot in Canada on a course that is actually readily available in your home country.
(Your SOP failed you here, cos you were not able to convince the Visa officer why you wanna study that course in Canada). Work on that section in your SOP.


Your purpose of visit does not appear reasonable simply shows you failed to convince the Visa Officer that you are a genuine student that is going to Canada to study and not to Japa.. Your SOP failed you here again, you didn't convince the Visa Officer of the importance of you going to Canada to study..
The applicant's immigration status, with this I wanna assume you applied outside of Nigeria, so they had issues with the fact that the country you applied from isn't your country, which means you do not have ties in the country you applied from. If you know you have ties in the country you are, then you will need to work on this in your LOE. if not, I will advise you go back to your country to re-apply.

Now the solution to this is simply your SOP and LOE, I wanna assume your SOP was watery, you generally failed to convince the Visa Officer with your SOP. A strong and convincing SOP will do the Magic in your next application..

Also for your finances, make sure you provide reasonable and convincing documents in your next application and also state these documents accordingly in your application, also if you used a 3rd party sponsor in your last application, and you are planning to use a 3rd party sponsor again, your sponsor has a lot of work to do on a commitment to your studies..

But I will personally advise you do away with a 3rd party sponsor if you have know the said sponsor wont be able to show total commitment in your next application.

Settle down and work on your SOP and LOE, if these (both) documents are strongly convincing, coupled with the right documents for your finances, your Visa is visible in your next application...

Peace

DrAFOguns:
Guys, please help.

Hello Yurfav

A Post graduate Degree or Masters in a business management related course will be convincing than going for sociology...

YurFav:
Thanks but I'm thinking if I'd be best going for a masters or advance graduate diploma in any business related course
Or can she do a master in sociology ?

Please help which will show career progression in line with job prospects and purpose of visit

Hello quin

Sorry about your refusal, but why are you all so obsessed with Judicial Review, it's not as easy or straightforward as you all think.

Apart from it being expensive($4000 - $6000CAD, depending on the Immigration lawyer in Canada), a decision doesn't come quick, in fact, it comes out in months... I have personally seen a decision of Judicial review coming out after a year and 2 months, and guess what? The Judgement wasn't in the applicant's favor.. Even if you win in a Judicial review, you will still need to re-apply..

And mind you, Judicial review doesn't mean you will win the case, so imagine wasting a whole $5000 CAD..

The only reason you can go for a Judicial review is when there are lots of blunders from IRCC as regards your application and you must have a very good immigration lawyer..

Simply order for your GCMS notes, note the concerns of the Visa Officer, and strategize on how you can address their concerns..

You do not really need a Judicial review to get your Visa in your next application..

Peace

Pls can you be kind Enough to take me back to the link on how the person got there gcms notes in 2 days cos mine is also over 1month

Another funny agent... Can you just imagine such statement?

Keep waiting for your GCMS notes. If its taking too long, check my previous posts of what one of us here did to get his notes of over 1 month in 2 days.. When your notes drops, alert the house..

And if you like, go back to that comedian of an agent... Its your choice

Kelvinphy:
Greetings great people. My student visa has been denied due to Personal assets and financial status. I have ordered for my notes for a month now and I am yet to receive it, beside I have a landed property and two cars registered under bolt as my business which I didn’t summit with my application because my agent discouraged me to, because he feels I am still young to have those, beside I’m 23. Please I need help on this, thank you

Hello Decuttergirl

Yes you can, only on the condition that you choose a course of study that is related to your present Job position/description or business..

But in the case you do not have a Job or business, kindly choose a Job that relates to your bachelors..

Decluttergirl:
Thanks for the advice, can I do postgrad in something totally unrelated to what I did in my bachelors?

Hello awitness

I have replied your DM..

And hope you ordered your GCMS notes before writing your LOE, reason is because I review LOE with the concerns of the Visa Officer in the GCMS note.. I do not review with guess work..

Peace

aWITNESS:
Good morning Makano , I trust you're doing great. God bless you for all the help and support to this great forum, it is well appreciated.

I plan to resubmit my application which was denied earlier, could you please review my LOE to be sure I have addressed the singular issue raised by the VO.
I sent you a DM already, thank you.

Hello Decluttergirl

Before applying for a Canadian Study permit Visa, you must have an LOA from a DLI. An LOA is one of the major documents required to apply for a study permit application.
So in your case, for the school to issue you your LOA, they require you to pay $1000CAD, after which they will issue you your LOA and you can then apply for your Visa with the LOA..

Why go for a Diploma when you can go for a Masters's program(1st class, 2nd Class Upper) or a Postgraduate Program(2nd class Lower, 3rd class).. Yea, some peeps have gotten their Visa with an Advanced Diploma LOA, but as a BSc graduate, you have more chances of getting your Visa if you either go for a Masters program or a Post graduate Program..

Peace

Decluttergirl:
Hi everyone, happy Sunday.
For Nova Scotia community College (NSCC), do I have to pay full tuition ahead or half? I saw something like a confirmation fee of $1000, is that what I have to pay before I can apply for a visa?

Also, what are the chances of a 20 year old with a B.Sc in a health related course getting approved for Practical nursing Diploma from a 2 year college?

Would really appreciate responses to my questions. May God bless us all.

Hello Yurfav

If she has gotten her 1st degree for over 5 years, I will advise she goes for a course that relates to her Job Position/description. So look out for courses that are related to Sales... and if otherwise, go for courses related to International Relations...

Below are some good Universities and Colleges in Ontario you can make your research on:

University of Ontario
University of Waterloo
University of Ottawa
University of Windsor
Conestoga College
Niagara College
Senega College
Centennial College
Humber College

e.t.c
