Hello Gee

1. When applying for a Canadian Visa application, you make sure you apply way early before the period you intend to enter Canada. Do not assume you will get an early final decision form IRCC especially when you apply late to the time you intend to enter Canada. It actually takes the grace and Favour of God for you to get a very early Final Decision.. IRCC isn't known for fast or early final decision, they actually take their time to scrutinize every application as presented..

2. Yes, you can. But I wanna believe they would have sent your results to IRCC. So you can as well send webform and mails to IRCC with your E-Medical sheets attached (It works).

Peace

geekly44:
please guys my application is a month old however my medicals is yet to be updated i did my medicals in july.
1. will this affect my chances of getting my approval early? i uploaded my e-medical sheet online.
2. should i contact IOM to ask if my upfront medicals have been sent ?

I would have replied your mail

Peace

rahmeekadigz:
I ordered a note July and I haven't gotten an update yet.i already sent you an email

I would have replied your mails.

Peace

perfectbecky:
Great guru you promised to reachout to me, pls im still waiting.

Order for your gcms notes..

This is very easy to tackle..

Peace

rahmeekadigz:
This was the reason given.i submitted my dad's bank statement with 12m ,company account with 35m,my personal statement 1.5million..also submitted 3 landed properties of my dad. The last gcms note I got in June, it was written that the bank statement was illegible

Send an updated Mbs, IRCC will prefer that..

Peace

Fehgur:
Hello! When sending an updated SOA, does one need to send another MYBANKSTATEMENT certificate? or will just a stamped SOA suffice?

Hello Horlah

You can generate your MBS from your bank app, but I will advise you go to the bank cos you will also need a reference letter form the bank.

Its a straightforward exercise..

Peace

Horlar4th:
My Tuition is 18,100 and for MBS how does one do it for GT Bank.

Hello Oluwasegun

IRCC will work with the Letter of acceptance (Updated). So when your school provides you with an updated LOA, do well to send it to IRCC.

Nairobi IRCC Office works on 90% applications from Nigerian Applicants.

Below are the Webform and email addresses for Nairobi..

Thank you and God bless you alwsys

Hello Kukoyimukthar

Your question is kinda clumsy though..

If I should understand you, you wanna re-apply with your LOA which has the last start date of September, right?

And you wanna know what will happen if your Visa doesn't come our before the Last start date, am I correct?

Wanna be sure of your question before advising you..

Peace

Kukoyimukthar17:
@Makano Please I need you to clear me on this . I have three start date on my student information letter which is Jan,May, and September which I have the last start date which is September . My visa was denied the first time so am looking up to the second one .
My question is if eventually I didn’t meet up with the last start date , NO online class and later on my ppr arrived in November . Am I still going or I can’t go again due to that I didn’t attend any class .

Please I need you to put me through on this �

Hello house

I can see many applicants waiting for their PPRs with faith, remember this is the month of delivery. This month is heavily pregnant and the water of PPRs will break soon, so expect your PPR to be delivered to you this month..

It shall definitely end in praise..

Peace

Order for ur gcms notes to know what is actually going on with your application..

In addition, your PPR may likely drop before your GCMS drops..

Peace

Femioye337:
I send mails almost every day.... I was able to reach a MP she contacted ircc but the response she got was basically a summary of my application.... it was stated study permit was submitted 13th December, dey requested for an updated LOA, my medicals expired and ended it with application is still under active review or something similar sha.

Since then nothing.... I just did a new medicals last week Monday which is already updated to pass

Hello Oluwasegun

Once you have your updated LOA, then you can send to IRCC via email or Webform.

But on a norms, if your application is to be approved, IRCC will request for an Updated LOA..

Peace

oluwasegun1809:
Hello wonderful people on this thread.

I'm July 29th Applicant and till now nothing yet nor eligibility started.
I have deferred my admission to winter cos my resumption is 6th tomorrow.
Since i have done that.....PLEASE what is the next step and how will i inform IRCC about the deferement

Thank you all for the wonderful gesture.

If you are doing this for the purpose of your study permit Application, then WES isn't necessary..

Its only compulsory for a Permament Residency application..

Peace

ymbiola:
Good morning to the gurus here, can someone please explain to me how to send transcripts to WES and how much does it cost? If my school will be sending to WES directly, is there a fee attached to it? Please put me tru�

Hello House

To correctly answer your question, you will have to mention your full tuition fees..

Anyways find below to answer your question

Full Tuition fees + 14KCAD (Living expenses + Missi).

Convert your total to Naira, then that will answer your question..

And as for MBS, for some banks, you can generate it from your Bank App. For some, you will have to go your bank to inform them about MybankStatement (MBS)..

Peace

Horlar4th:
Hello House can less than 10m Bank statement be okay as proof of funds?
And also how does MBS works please?

Hello Femi

How often have you been sending mails and Webforms to IRCC?

Have you tried sending mails to the MPs of the province where your school is located?

Have you ordered your GCMS notes?

9 months is a long period though, you shouldn't be sleeping..

Peace

Femioye337:
My application is entering its 9th month now no response nothing at all.... I applied since December 13 2021.... last request was updated LOA June 7th... it’s so tiring �����

Hello manuel

Sorry for the late response, I have had so much to do lately..

I just replied my unread mails now, so I would have replied yours too as I am currently online..

@Makano, could you please respond to your mail?

Hello Ocool

PGD -Post Graduate Degree

PGC- Post Graduate Certificate..

Actually, the moniker asked a question on going through PGD/PGC route, so I had to correct her that there is nothing like PGD/PGC route but Study permit route..

Peace

Ocool:
Please, what does the bolded (not PGD/PGC route) mean. Can you explain more please?

Hello Nadingo

Your 1st and 2nd questions clearly shows you are a novice which isn't a problem at all, that is why we are here on this forum to guide you.

Now I will summarise the answers to the your 1st and 2nd question.

Yes you can relocate with your family through the Study Permit route (not PGD/PGC route). But you have a high chance going alone and using your other family members as home ties. And when you have your visa, you can apply for a Spousal permit for your spouse and Visiting permit Visa for ur kids.
With your second class lower, you can get a PGD/PGC Admission and you can use that to apply for your study permit application and get your Visa.

3. I am not sure about this cos the least you can have is a 2.1 for a Masters degree in Canada. If you last CGPA is high, then you can be lucky with some schools that considers the last CGPA, but I do not think work experience with 2.2 is a requirement for a Master degree Admission in most schools in Canada.

4. Yea, sure.

Peace

Nadingo:
Hello. I was meant to understand that for a 1yr PGD/PGC, applying to go with my family of 5 is a red flag due to the duration of the course. I was also meant to understand that I can only qualify for 1year PGWP after a one year PGD/PGC program. This means that it would still be a red flag to apply for my family to join me in Canada at that time due to the duration of my PGWP (1yr). My questions are:

1. Does that mean I can only relocate my family to Canada when I get PR (after may be 3yrs) if I choose to go the route of a PGD/PGC?

2. How does someone with a second class lower degree take his family along to Canada using the study route?

3. Can my 10yr work experience alongside my 2:2 get me a direct Masters Degree admission in Canada?

4. Can a Canadian PGD/PGC be used to secure a Masters Degree admission into a Canadian University?

Thanks Cadygosh for this..

I actually saw his post before seeing yours, but I chose to ignore, as I do not have the luxury of time to exchange words with anybody especially when the person is trying hard to get attention.

I spend little time here, and it would be a waste of time using the limited time I have here to argue with someone that just joined this thread less than a month..

Thanks once again Cadygosh for having my back in my absence even though I do not know you.. Thanks once again, I appreciate.

Peace

Cadygosh:
Kick Makano out?

Abeg oo, he is one of the rear gems on this platform.. Since when I joined this forum some days back, I have been reading his posts, Justmellow and that of Frankrobbn1 and I can say I have gained a lot from reading just their posts...
And also many applicants here have gotten their Visas working with Makano and none has said anything like he scammed them(Cos ur assigment is to catch scammers).. Even in his profile, he said he doesn't want to be addressed as an agent. So please oo, leave our guru oo..
And the post u had an issue with, he has already responded to bullstriker in a peaceful way as seen below.

https://www.nairaland.com/7255452/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/159#116209768

So please oo, Makano, Frankrobbn1 and Justmellow are rear Gems on this forum and I am sure I am not the only one here gaining from their wealth of experience..
Like Makano always ends his post, Peace.

Hello XtyOgor4g

As we all know, no 2 applications are the same. There are many factors that determines the different timelines for different applications and I am going to mention a few..

1. Visa Officers- Canada Visa applications are assigned to different Visa Officers. What will take Visa Officer A, 1 month to handle can take Visa Officer B 2 weeks to handle..

2. Background Check (Info sharing)- Applicant A has travelled to 5 different countries, Applicant B has toured round the World and Applicant C hasn't left Nigeria in his life. And we all know there are many stages a visa application go through before a final decision is made for that application, one of these stages is what is called Background check(Info sharing) i.e the Canadian embassy communicates with other countries an applicant has travelled to in the past and get information about the immigration status of such applicant in these countries, if the applicant defaulted or not. Now compare the Info sharing stage of an applicant that has travelled round the world and the one that has not left the state in Nigeria he/she resides.

3. Documents submitted- Applicant A submits too many docs that are not really necessary, some submit documents from their grandfather/grandmother, from church/mosque, from primary school or coaching lesson before getting admission into University, e.t.c. And Applicant B submits few docs. Now you cant compare the time the Visa Officers will spend reviewing the docs of Applicant A with his grandfather's docs and Applicant B with few docs...

There are so many factors to this, but I will stop with just these 3 factors.

Peace

XtyOgor4g:
Please I have a question to ask my thoughts why does some application get approved faster than the other no matter how early you submit what could be the factor. Same apply to start of eligibility

Hello duke

Once your passport is stamped, it will drop in your portal..

Peace

duke2000:
Gurus in the house, please a quick one on POE:
PPR received but no PoE introduction letter. When is the letter expected? Does it get returned with the stamped passport or must appear on the portal? Has anyone received it with PPR together?

Thank you.

Hello Manydethink

He can go ahead and add it, it doesn't affect your application in anyway as its a strong hometie.

All you just need to do is to convince the Visa officer on how your Home ties will force your return to your home country after your studies in Canada..

Peace

Manydethink:
Thanx makano
I am self sponsored but he wants to add d landed property as one of my properties documents



]Hello Manydethink

Are you a self sponsor or your hubby is sponsoring you?

You said your husband purchased the land and you wanna put it in your name, is it not supposed to be in your hubby name except he bought it for you though..

I will advise he puts it in his name or better still the Mr and Mrs will do i.e putting it in your names as couples..

Peace

Hello Bullstriker

I wasn't in anyway opposing you bro, I just touched on that particular sentence where you wrote "Lump sum is always a red flag" if you had written "Lump-sum is always a red flag without explanation like the 1st bolded" then I wouldn't have mentioned you as regards that statement cos the later seems like a complete statement. I personally have worked with applicants who had huge amounts in their accounts and they still got their Visas because we made sure we explain in details about the lump sum.

And to the 2nd bolded, more knowledgeable than others?? . Bro, I am still learning, no one knows it all.. Apart from dishing out professional advises here, I also read up and research (on nairaland and outside nairaland) everyday as regards Canadian immigration. I am just doing my thing here with the little time I spend here and I go offline as I do not spend the whole day here (I have a Job I do as a Computer programmer)..

In my ending part of the post, I even gave you kudos for the great work you have been doing while I was away from here for days, but you didn't see that cos you obviously took it personal.. Once again kudos for the great work you doing here..

I always come in Peace.

bullstriker:
You are just unnecessarily trying to oppose something clear. What does a red flag mean? Is it not something that can draw attention and lead to further scrutiny? Again, I wonder why you are eager to oppose without first gaining an understanding. First, you commented on my statement regarding an application assessment before it is sent to a visa officer to make the final decision. Luckily @ Frankrobbn1, who we know has immense knowledge in this field, has confirmed it.

Lump-sum is always a red flag, of course, without explanation. However, if you are not focused so much on letting us know you are a guru, you would have noticed I went further to state that she explains the lump sum. In fact, I discussed how to go about it.

Sometimes the feeling that you are more knowledgeable than others can make you oblivious to things that need no interpretation. So, read to comprehend and stop focusing on a word.

Hello Manydethink

Are you a self sponsor or your hubby is sponsoring you?

You said your husband purchased the land and you wanna put it in your name, is it not supposed to be in your hubby name except he bought it for you though..

Manydethink:
Hello house , I have been following dis thread silently,and am learning alot. Thanx.Pls d gurus in d house I want to ask
I am preparing my documents for visa submission, there is a landed property my husband purchased and we want to use it as home ties for me. Should he put it solely in my name or as mr & mrs .... . Which do u guys think advice will fly. Thanx

Hello bullstriker

The bolded is not totally correct..

Lump sum is not the issue but the failure to convincingly explain to the Visa officer the source of the huge amount and the need or reason of such amount at that particular moment. If an applicant can explain in details about the lump sum to the Visa officer, then the applicant will get his/her Visa.

If you say Lump sum is a red flag, so what will you say about applicants that got their Visas despite having lump sums in their account..

Please be careful about the information you put down here and kudos to the great work you doing here..

Peace

bullstriker:
Yes, you are correct, lump sums are always a red flag, but since the money comes from a fixed deposit and is in your name, visa officers are unlikely to have issues with it. You can show the trail from the fixed deposit to your account by submitting the investment certificate, proof of transfer and bank statements. You can also get a letter from the bank to support your explanation.

Instead of removing dad from the account, why can’t you use dad as a sponsor since his name is on the fixed account? Besides, you are a recent graduate with no work experience.

Get a gift deed from dad if you insist on being a self-sponsor.

This is funny though..

Many applicants complain that their Eligibility has started for months without any final decision and this is you getting worried that your final decision dropped a day after your Eligibility started..

What do applicants really want though... Humans.. Lol

Anyways, your application has been finalised, your final decision should be dropping any time soon, get ready and be positive..

Peace

Haremuh:
My eligibility started yesterday, and I got BVL today not PPR yet.
Should I be worried?

Urgent answer please

Hello Sanyaa

I will advise you to get married to her before you get your Visa or better still before leaving Nigeria for Canada (If you have the recourses to make this happen in a short time though)..

Once you have done the court wedding, then all is set. Just make sure you take enough pix together and also with both parents. Also, your Marriage certificate will be very important in your application.

You can apply for a Spousal Visa permit for her before leaving the country, that is if your resumption date is still a little ahead(like 4 months or more) and you both can travel together or you get to Canada and apply for a Spousal permit for her when you get your SIN and Study permit..

Go with which ever works for you..

Peace

Sanyaa:
I expect to get my student visa soonest, but I will like to apply for my girlfriend under the common law, is this still possible? I heard it's late already but don't know how true, do I have to get the ppr first? If yes, can it be applied for when I arrive in canada? or it is something that should have been done before submitting the application. @makano @showyoung @lekiboboe and anyone who could kindly shed light, Thanks

I know of paper application though, wanted to confirm for online applications..

And according to the 2nd screenshot, I could see there is a processing officer(the answer I was looking for) before the Visa officer works on an application.. Even though I can see this is specifically for Express Entry application, I wanna believe its the same process for study permit application.. I will still do my own research as always though..

Good one predator...

Peace

Predator188:
Applications are not first assessed by the VO

Processing office at VAC kenya accepts study permit application, assess application before it gets to the VO that is complete application check ...

I may give you a small hint with Vfs global for paper based application same procedure applies for online applications

Hello house I want to ask what’s the maximum days/weeks my obtained POF from the bank can be valid for before I upload it on my application portal

This question has been asked several times here..

You can use any email to send mails to IRCC, just make sure you include your UCI and application number in the content of your mail.

But please note that IRCC will only send mails/notification as regards your application(if you have any update in your application) to the registered email with your application.

I hope your so called agent gave you access to your IRCC portal though, so you can know when you have an update as regards your application..

Peace
