Are you an agent?

We are here to help each other with information and not advertising oneself....

Your 1st statement is okay, when a moniker see you as fit for guidance for his/her visa application, then they can contact you and you can then inform the moniker of your "Professional service". Not you putting it up here..

I have never advertise any "Professional Service" here and still I have many monikers sending me mail almost everyday for guidance on their application and I put them through with my little knowledge...

If a moniker sees you are good at what you do, then you can be appreciated, and not you putting up this "Professional Service" tingy here..

If we are doing what we are doing here with this mindset, then many applicants will be void of knowledge...

I am not saying you shouldn't get reward from your expertise, but do not advertise here.. When a moniker sees your depth of knowledge, he or she can contact you and you can from there advertise your "professionalism", but don't put it here..

Please lets be guided.

This is actually funny....

Get a good Immigration lawyer and apply for Judicial Review, you gonna win this case..

Judicial review is way expensive though, if you have the financial capacity for Judicial review, then I will advise you go for Judicial review, if not..

Apply again with this same application, I am sure you will be approved..

ITS obvious the VO that worked on your application had family issues at home before reporting to work..

Personal Assets & Financial Status

My first preassessment notes were vague, in fact i still don't understand it till today as attached.

I did a lot of things differently despite that in this second application:

I paid 28k out of 33k of my tuition through my mum, she gave me 7m which i immediately used to pay 20k cad (in my first application i paid only 7k)
I showed 10.3m in bank account (MBS) (my sponsor gave me 6m since last year Nov and still standing in my account, balance of 4m was my savings) (funds were still intact)
i had mutual funds of 1.4m (since first application)
I had 2.4m in pension ( got a letter from PFA 25% is immediately accessible) also since my first application
i attached gift deeds for both my uncle and the new funds my mum gave me
My uncle showed over 18m in his bank plus introduction letter showing his net worth
My mum attached a retirement letter and stated that she had funds from her 32 years of working, she also had a balance of 4m left to show she will be fine
I included study leave and evidence I got a promotion last year and commendation for stepping in an acting position as MD.
My husbands business docs, showed also 2.3m in his account, he had 2m as fixed deposit (same with first application)
I attached his land docs and added the survey in the second application
i bought shares almost 500K to establish assets (new)

I have ordered for my first and second notes, maybe I should have ordered final notes from my first application because i used preassessment notes while my application was still in progress to apply.

I am numb, I am sad, I feel like all my efforts were in vain.

I had ordered my notes last month to see what was happening and they are only due tomorrow, i guess they dished out the refusal today so i wouldnt have time to ammend.

I know how it feels, sorry about that..

Your next application will come with an Approval, all you need to do is not to give up....

Pick up yourself, order your GCMS notes,re-strategize and apply again..

If you need any guidance, u can contact me or any of the gurus..

Its not over until you Win

This is a 50-50 chance though..

This simply means a Junior VO needs clarification from a Senior VO as regards a final decision on your application..

Whatever the senior Visa Officer concludes on your application will determine your final decision, either Approval or Refusal..

But be Positive...

The bolded may not be necessary since your mum isn't the sponsor...

If you believe your mum is also financially stable, she can be used as a Co-Sponsor, which will be very good cos both parents are your sponsor..

And YES, you can add all that to your application but make sure you state all the documents you are submitting in either your SOP or LOE..

You can put up a table of content of all documents you are submitting for easy assessment by the VO...

PEACE
emmalextemtop:
Yes, definitely, i have them already.

I was thinking before since he didn't register his cocoa/poultry occupation, hope the VO won't say a whole government worker couldn't register?
We didn't want to register this year cos we see they might not believe us as it's late, that's why we wanted to submit just receipts, invoices, pictures and his banks statement indicating payments/transfer of wholesale exchanges.

We didn't register cos Farming is an informal occupation now, na cocoa now, anyone can do it especially the elderly ones.
I already started it in my SOP(4 pgs) that Farming is an informal occupation therefore we provided those docs above... to prove the existence

My mom also has a trading store with proves of how she pays money to internal revenue yearly and taxes and to L.G for many years now.
Thinking of adding that to my SOP, just to show other assets, hope is okay?

When I post information here, I have facts to back it up..

Congrats to you IntimidationJay..
IntimidationJay:
this is new! Cos I had emailed the MP of my school and the assistant responded in less than 10 mins asking for my details which I shared with him, he responded 20mins later telling me that he has sent an inquiry to IRCC and if I don’t get an email from him in 2days I should follow up. The next day I got my PPR, two days after I got a response from him saying that My study permit was approved since June 25th but I got PPR on July 16th. I think the email from the MP reminded IRCC to issue my PPR.

Hello guys,

For the bolded, if his business account have more than the required amount for your stay in Canada, then that should be enough..

But make sure you submit his other official documents I mentioned in my previous response to your previous post because you have an upper hand having a government worker as a sponsor..

Peace
emmalextemtop:
Thanks so much.

I guess pay slip is not necessary then, cos am submitting his personal account for the businesses, cos that will be the source for my sponsorship and am not submitting his salary acct.

Someone that sponsor his child before, just told me showing my sponsor is also a civil servant is a good stuff..., maybe probably being recognized by the government sha.
Travel › Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 19 by makano: 10:40am On Aug 09, 2021
It depends on the MP you send your complains to, the content of your message to the MP(maybe prolly you didn't submit your full details to the MP) and also your province.

As we know there are many MPS or few MPs attached to every province.. Some will give your application urgent attention while some won't.. That is why it is advised as an applicant you understudy the MP that gives urgent attention to applicants complains, don't just send ur complains to any just MP..

In my 4 years on this thread, I can say applicants whose applications are way over the processing time that sent mails to an MP get quick response than those that don't send...

Even in this Part 19 we know of some applicants that got their final decisions of their application after sending their provincial MPs mails..

Peace
Kam3:
Sending a mail to MP doesn't guarantee a quick decision because I sent a mail to the MP of Kamloops they will only enquire about the status of your application and tell you to wait.

The bolded is funny though, why will they refuse you because you sent them mail.. Your agent must be a comedian...

We have seen several applicants here bombarding the several IRCC offices with messages through emails and Webforms, some even go the extra mile by sending a mail to the MP of their province.. And they still got approved of their Visas..

Canadians are not like Nigerians that get disturbed by constant calls or messages, its only in Nigeria here that even the slightest thing get us angry, the whites are not like that..

So go ahead and send them messages and through emails and also webforms, your application far more than the processing time, NOVEMBER 2020 is actually a long time..

SO FAR YOU MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF IRCC STUDY PERMIT VISA, YOU WILL BE APPROVED EVEN THOUGH YOU SEND THEM 1000 MAILS IN A DAY.. SENDING THEM MAILS ISNT A REASON FOR THEM REFUSING ANY APPLICANT.

Its actually a good idea sending a message to any member of parliament in your province, explain to them that your resumption date is a month from now and you haven't gotten any response from IRCC as regards a final decision on your application..

When sending the mail, make sure you also include all your details as regards your application cos they will need that to make them have a smooth communication with IRCC..

If you get a response from your MP, be rest assured a decision on your application would be soon afterwards...

I mentioned Letter of promotion though, and Yes official ID card can also be added..

For the Pay slips, he can ask of his pay slips from the respective authorities, either from he account office or office of Human resource... And if he cant still get it, he can print out SOA for his salary account showing the consistent and regular monthly payment of his salary..

For his farming business which isn't registered, it should not be too much of a problem even though CAC documents of all business/Companies are required, but since he has all the documents you mentioned that is related to his Business, you can as well submit them.. There is no harm in doing that, the only problem is when you try to submit fake business documents for his business, but since the company isn't registered, you can go ahead and submit those documents..

Canada is interested to know that the sponsor is really capable of sponsoring you conveniently throughout your stay in Canada..

Having a Masters degree and going for Post graduate certificate is not a good move at all (Red Flag) because it does not show career progression....

Why not go for a PHD, or even a second Masters(even though this isn't certain) but it is better than going for a PGD..

There is no particular timeline for this..

Apllicants here have gotten their decision after months of Eligibility review starting and some have gotten weeks after..

I personally, the earliest I know of is 2 days of decision (Refusal) after Eligibility review started and the Oldest is 7 months of decision(Approval) after Eligibility started..

So no particular timeline for it.. Every process/ stage of an application is based on that application because no 2 application is same, every application is unique..
