You didn't do anything wrong and you got a 5 YEARS BAN?

Bro you used an agent for God's sake, ask your agent what he did wrong, ask him if he submitted fake documents.

I am sure IRCC would have sent you PFL before this ban, but your agent hid it from you, which has resulted in your 5 year Ban..

You may not do something wrong, but trust me your so-called agent has done many things wrong without you knowing...

Hello Xydami

First, Canada does not conduct interviews..
Your SOP / LOE will speak for you to the Visa Officer in your absence..

Second, Yes it's possible... It's only applications that are on the route of approval that gets a Medical request.

Hello Raimiade

These are just the normal automated emails from IRCC..

And to the bolded, so far your application has passed the IRCC Processing time, sending too many mails or webform shouldn't negatively affect your application..
In addition, we have read here of many applicants who testify of them getting updates as a result of the numerous mails they have sent to IRCC...

Hello Kelchy

Guess you would have gotten responses to your query, but lemme chip in one or two things,,

Yes, your Uncle can be your sponsor... Even though Uncles/Aunts are considered 3rd Party sponsors, but in your case, the Visa Officer won't see him as a 3rd party sponsor, the reason is that he has shouldered the responsibility of taking care of you right from when you lost your parents as a little gurl.. He took care of your education right from when you were a child till when you left his house to get Married....

So he is more or less your parent... So making him your sponsor is so on point. What you will just need to do is to state all these in your application so the Visa Officer can know he has been your "Father figure" since the demise of your parents..
You can attach your previous school fees receipts or any other beneficial expenses he would have made on you in the past, I am sure you have pictures of both of you, attach as many as possible... Your uncle in his Letter of sponsorship should also state how he has been sponsoring you since when you were a child and how he is ready and committed to sponsor you to Canada just the way he has been doing for so many years. If you do your homework well, you should have a problem with your application as regards sponsorship..


And to your statement of account, it's, not compulsory for an applicant to submit SOA, we have seen many applicants here stating in their timeline that they didn't submit their SOA and they still got approved. So if you wanna submit it, good. If not, fine..
It's only compulsory for Self-sponsored applicants to submit their Statement Of Account...

Peace
kelchy:
Please guys, someone should really advise me. This is the third time I am posting without getting any response.


I finished school in 2012, studied Business Management but want to apply for HR and I ahve been working in HR for over 6years.

My concerns are can my uncle act as my sponsor ( my parents died when I was little and he was the person who trained me in school and I lived with until I got married) because I'm currently 32 years.

Will I have to show my Statement of Account?

If Yes, what's the minimum balance that you can advise to be in it.

Hello honeycandy

You do not need to fidget over this, be calm.

Since your school has said no sit available till Fall of next year, there is no issue about that.

Go ahead and submit your Passport for stamping and don't be in a rush about it unlike how most peeps here are always in a rush to get their Passport back , in your case you have enough time. The reason for this is because the same date your Passport is stamped is the same date it will expire next year, meaning the Visa is valid for a year...

So when you get your passport back, make sure you leave the country before the Visa expires.. Do not change your course, remember you have already Sugar-coated the Visa officer in your SOP why you wanna study the course you chose.

And you know the schools give reports to IRCC of all international students in Canada, so that IRCC can know the status of the students if truly there are studying in the school that was in their study permit application and also the course.

So play safe and stay patient... You will have enough time to prepare and also save a reasonable amount before finally leaving the country.

Peace



honeycandy:
Someone should please answer me biko. I deferred to September next year because the school informed me that the course won’t be available for Jan and May 2022. Except I’m willing to change to another course.

I don’t know what to do like this.

Thanks for the reply. Yes he is my blood brother

In my dads letter of co sponsorship, he stated in it that “ if further details is needed they should ask him”. At the time of submitting my application I didn’t know i was meant to submit his payment stub


I stated in my Sop that my elder brother would be the sponsor stating that he would make available all funds in the account for my education. And i made mention in just a sentence that “my father is also representing as a co sponsor” that’s all i said.


And to add also, i included the three of us, pictured in the application

Hello Raimiade


First, its not compulsory you have 2 sponsors for an application especially when the Co-sponsor doesn't have the required funds for your study and also the expenses in Canada . In your case, your brother(hope its your blood brother though) can just be your sponsor, since your dad doesn't have money in his account according to you. Your focus should be on your main sponsor which is your brother, but since you have submitted your application, leave it like that... Do not submit any other thing until when IRCC ask for any document..

I want to believe you were able to convince the Visa officer that your brother is very capable of sponsoring your study in Canada, its not about the money now but about how well he (your brother) showed his commitment in your application..

In addition, its not compulsory an applicants submits his SOA, with the exception that the applicant is a self sponsored applicant.. So there is no red flag in you not submitting your SOA..

It will end in praise..

Peace
raimiade11:
@makano

Just asking, when i applied, i never used my personal account, though my brother is my main sponsor with over 37kcad and my dad co sponsor, i didn’t put my dad’s account too, i just put his land document

I’m 26 years, i hope it is not a red flag?

I established relationship with my brother with pictures and passport. But am thinking can it be the Reason for my long delay?

Why i didn’t put my account and dads account is because we actually don’t have money there. I put my dads employment details as he is a university lecturer sha

Hello Josh

This totally depends on you though..

You can apply as a family since you have kids, but the chances are slim..

You can apply alone, get to Canada and apply for spousal permit for your Wife and Visiting Visa for your Kids... You have more chances of approval with this, and this is what most married couples in this thread do..

I can see you have assets in your Home country and also you are financially okay.. So it will make sense to apply alone and use your family members as strong home ties and also you can state in your SOP/LOE that your Wife will be managing your properties while you are away in Canada studying..... And when you get to Canada and you have your Study Permit, your SIN and other vital documents, you can then apply for spousal permit fo ryour Wife and Visiting Visa for your Kids to come join you...

If you package your application well and also choose a course that is closely related to your Work experience, I see you getting your Visa...

Hello Henriie

Its the policy of most schools in Canada that it is only a refusal that qualifies for a refund.. You should have read this in the refusal policy of the school before making the payment to the school... It will be a hard nut to get back your refund since you have not gotten a refusal and also you didn't apply with the school....

If you had mentioned this earlier before you withdrew your admission, I would have advised you not to withdraw yet until when you have a refusal letter.. You would just use that as the perfect reason to withdraw your admission and at the same time apply for a refund.. But since you have already withdrawn your admission... Once you get a refusal letter, you can as well upload the refusal letter to them that you have been refused, and you want a refund of your money... Maybe that will work, cos they wont know if you used their LOA to apply or not, except you have already informed them, which I hope you have not...

But if you get an approval, then I am afraid you will have no solid reason for a refund.. I will suggest you send a mail to the MP in the province where the said school is located, lets see what the MP can do..

Meanwhile I don't wanna assume you will be praying for a refusal from IRCC cos of the refund...

Peace
Henriie:
Please guys I need advice on this . Please oo

I made tuition deposit of 2000cad to MUN but for my study visa I used an another institution to apply because I got their admission earlier. I will no longer attend MUN as I decided to stick with the school I gave ircc. I made an admission withdrawal to MUN and requested for my deposit back. I got this from them
"The Deposit is non-refundable except when the visa application is rejected. Please provide the visa rejection proof before your refund request can be processed further".

Is there no way of getting my money back? Can't I appeal against their decision? I was only issued an admission and its for January 2022. Never used the school for my study visa application.
Please help thanks

LANDING GIST

My flight was scheduled for 10:55 pm on Sunday.
We all went to the airport by 2:00pm because we had excess luggage and also to check in on time.
At 2, there wasn’t any crowd, we had 23kg into ten places (entitled to just 6 bags at 23kg) and paid 300k for extra luggage.

Things requested for at Nigerian airport:
1. Arrive can
2. Stamped visas
3. Enrollment letter
4. Covid 19 test

We finished all checks around 5:pm. Please no matter the time for your flight, try and get to the airport early because the crowd from five ehn!, I wouldn’t have meet up if I went late.

Tickets were printed out, yellow card given as well and passport scanned.

I said final goodbyes to my in-laws around eight and got checked in.

We used Lufthansa, we left 10:55pm and got to Frankfurt after 6 hours. We had layover of about six hours.

Things asked at Frankfurt by immigration.

1. Arrive can
2. Visas
3. Covid test result
4. Quarantine plan (14 days at Airbnb)

Our flight to Vancouver moved around 1:35pm on Monday (Germany time). It was the longest ten hours of my life. I never knew traveling with an active baby was this hard. They served their usual
Leaves but I no gree chop am because my turkey and meat Dey my bag Dey wait me(lol).

We got to Vancouver around 14:35(Vancouver time )on Monday . I filled arrival form on the system and moved to immigration.

At immigration in Vancouver, no cue or crowd at all.
Things asked by immigration:
1. Stamped visas of hubby , I and baby.
2. Hubby’s letter of authorization (the letter sent after your pp has been stamped ).

His work permit and baby’s visit visa was printed. No need for mine as i already had my study permit since July .
I waited for welcome to Canada and nothing grin,yet again.

I and hubby got tested for covid at the airport and self test kit given for day eight test.

We moved to claim luggages(every bag complete ) there after entered taxi to our Airbnb for quarantine.

I wish everyone all the best.

Its not a good thing at all..

One thing that can lead to a refusal after PPR is FRAUD...

Fake financial documents, fake passport, falsified information and all..

The person you talked about didn't probably follow up simply because he or she knows his/her application has some fake documents e.t.c..

If you submit a clean application, there is no how you will get a refusal after PPR...

Lianna2020:
All good, no one knows why that happened.

The person didn’t follow up as to why rejection came after PPR and no matter what , ircc should have done all checks before sending PPR . That’s negligence on their part.

Why would they send PPR only to see fault after? , God forbid , I don’t wish that for anyone .

And what was the reason for the rejection, you should back up your claims with fact...

Its easy for anyone to just come here and say you can be rejected after PPR..

Final decision

Your application was approved. You need to send us your valid passport to finalize your application. Check your messages below for details

The above message is what you get when Original Passport request drops in your profile.. Meaning for you to get that, it shows you have met the IRCC requirement to study in Canada..

So getting a refusal after PPR is totally the applicant's fault and not IRCC, probably the applicant submitted a fake or falsified Passport, account statement et.c.

Its not in the operation of IRCC to refuse an application they have taken months to review before granting approval for a study permit...

Hello Sweet

Note: Before IRCC can send an applicant PPR, they would have done their thorough check and investigation to see if truly the applicant meets the IRCC immigration requirements of a study permit Visa.. Meaning, for IRCC to send an Applicant a Passport request, it shows the application has been approved...

You cannot be rejected after PPR except you submit a fake Passport or you robb a bank and you are caught..

Hello Temmy

So far its the same DLI you applied with that gave you the LOA, It may not be necessary sending them your new LOA. If it were to be an LOA from another DLI, then it will be required of the applicant to inform IRCC even after the applicant have been approved, and this will result in the applicant applying for another study permit application.... But make sure you hold it with you when traveling(together with your receipt of payment of school fees, that is if you have paid though), this is very important because you will be asked several times en-route Canada..

But if you feel like sending it, no crime in doing so...

Congrats and wish you the best in the great white north...
