Ur first question is funny tho, is the new birth certificate for the day u were born again? Anyways to answer ur question, the VO is nt concerned if the BC is old or new, so far it's the birth certificates of ur family members. I will advise u submit the original one i.e the old one.. 2. It depends on ur situation , but I will advise you also submit ur SOA and payslips so far you are working or have a steady flow of income... Peace

librangyps:
Please house, must every member of my family get the new birth certificate from local govt or can we use the old one we have?

Secondly can I use a sponsor's account alone even though state that I am working and I have pay slips, must I show my own bank balance?

The moniker can as well comment/reply above the Quoted post, just like have done to ur post.. With that no one needs to scroll... Peace

If you want to quote a very long post, especially an approval alert, please shorten the post you are quoting, to prevent readers scrolling a lot in order to read a reply. Thank you.

He is not the cause of the rejections,Nairobi VOs are just unfortunate... I watched their debate a week ago, and he was the only one that was really interested in brining in massive Immigrants to Canada.. The remaining were careful talking about brining in immigrants, so its good news for us... Unless he doesnt do what he promised tho, and i doubt that cos he is not a Nigerian politician..... Just watch out for the rate of approvals next year, what am saying now will make sense by then... Peace

Ayodeji786:
So Justin Trudeau don enter back as the prime minister.

Let hope for good approvals this time around.


Since his other opposition doesn't want immigrants at all

I am not a VO, but left to me, I will approve this application without thinking twice.. Its just unfortunate u applied during the time their quota got filled up for the year cos in the past 2 months, we havnt witness any approval here despite the tight applications we see here.. Its either Nairobi hates Nigeria aplicants generally or their quota for the year is filled up... Anyways today was their election, lets wait and see the final decisions from 3rd week of next month, if approvals starts coming by next month, then it will be obvious the reason for the rampant refusals was the election... Just my assumption tho... Cos this ur app is too good to be refused.... Peace

Sumji:
So I initially decided not to post, so as not to discourage anyone. On a second thought, the thread is about sharing experiences (good or bad).

2nd application, applied via Paper route on the 24th of Sept, BVL dropped last week thursday, visa denied about 31hrs afterwards. Reasons for denial were generic, FAMILY TIES & PURPOSE OF VISIT.

I definitely put my best foot forward, so I'm convinced that for me, this is end of Canada, via study Visa route.
For a 2yrs co-op masters program, 1 year tuition was paid to the school, accommodation deposit also. Last 3 months payslip from where I work, including my savings account, and every relevant certifications were submitted. Sponsor transferred USD15k to my dorm for first year living expenses, flight, etc. Sponsor swore affidavit, showed proof of more than enough, including evidences of several businesses. All my family members submitted their birth certs. and passport datapages, including property I oversee (home tie things). Competent guru's proof-read my SOP, made adjustments, course progression was clearly explained. BSC and prospective MSC are both under Engineering, blah blah blah etc., etc., etc., etc.

On that note, all applications are unique. Congrats to those approved, past and future! Stay positive for those expecting, irrespective of statistics.

Local man moves on! Would definitely explore other options, for now, off to get my fees back! Cheers.

Affidavit of Sponsorship is necessary, but nt compulsory. Submit ur photocopied documents cos the embassy do not return documents once their is a final decision.. So do not make the mistake of submitting the originals.. Peace

oniwoski:
Hello Everyone..thanks to all the Gurus,

Please i am gathering my documents. Do i have to do any affidavit for my sponsor nd co sponsor?
Do they accept Age declaration as proof of
age?...i dont have birth certificate.
Lastly do i have to submit original documents or photocopied? I am using paper route.

Many thanks all

Sorry about ur refusal bro
1.Is this ur 1st time or re-application
2. When did ur BVL drop before this refusal
3. Did u do Upfront medicals, if yes, when was it passed?

You can order for ur GCMS note to know the actual reasons why ur application was refused.. Peace

Nzeelvis:
On the 9th of September. Paper route.

Did u get any Medical request? If No, then am afraid.. Still be hopeful tho, cos this peeps cant be predicted.. Keep the house posted when u finally get ur final decision.. Peace

george009:
No upfront medical and its Validity of biometric information

U just received ur BVL (U can open the document to be sure tho).. Did u get a Medical request form CIC which has been passed or did u do any Upfront medicals which has also been passed? If ur answer to the FORMER is a yes, then dts a very good sign, if ur answer to the Later is a Yes, then thats a 50-50 chance of approval.. But if the answer to both categories is a NO, then am afraid its nt a good sign at all.. Also when did u apply and what route? Keep the house updated... Peace

george009:
Please who can explain this to me and what next to do;

I have read other people's input as regards this ur post, and I can say I cant agree less.. But to me from my observation from last year ,the problem is the Nairobi Visa officers, I have this feeling they personally hate Nigeria applicants. Since when they have been in charge of study permit applications from Nigeria, we have seen very little rate of approval... For those of us that have been on this thread for over 1 year, we all know even when London and LAGOS were giving approvals anyhow like water then, these same Nairobi demons(Yes I call them demons cos they dnt have Joy) will still refuse any application dt comes their way, even if the application is super tight... Am not surprised of the rate of refusals now, immediately I learnt late last year that Nairobi will be in charge of Nigeria study permit, I knew we were in for it.. Since ma presence on this thread for over 2 years, I have never seen the rate of study permit refusals in this manner, and this is simply because the DEMONS themselves are in charge.. They only approve 1 application in like 20 applications.. I just pray the incoming Prime minister will be kind enough to do something about it, cos if not then it can only get worse... God help us.. Peace

bennyg24:
see as this thread just quiet!
chai! Canada just they dull people with refusals
I remember when I joined this thread in 2018, it wasn't like this

Ok thanks, just PMed u, waiting for ur response..

Joydavid2000:
Hello,
Please is the any available scholarship for undergraduate in Canada? If yes, how can I apply and where?
Thanks in anticipation.

This question has been answered times without number.. If you are a first time applicant, u just need an SOP. But if you have been refused before , then u need to add an LOE to ur re-phrased and improved SOP.. LOE is simply to show the VO that u have "tackled" the reasons stated in ur previous application.. Even tho they ain't compulsory, they are very necessary.. And please take ur time to write both documents, do nt rush things.... peace

Ayodeji786:
Frankrobbn1 Bracha Justmellow Makano Blema111 Mzjokky16 please help respond to this dude. Thanks alot.

1. I will advise you defer ur program to a later date, as Nov is obviously late to apply for Visa for Jan resumption.. As we have seen of recent on this thread, there has not been any quick positive decision from CIC, the final decision we see that comes within a month or 2 are always refusals. So u have to defer ur admission to either May or September so u can have enough time to prepare to depart after ur approval.
2. Yea, u can do upfront medicals and police certificate.. NOTE:Police certificate isnt compulsory for study permit application. especially if you have submitted i in ur previous application so many peeps here have gotten approved without Police certificate (I personally know of 8 peeps that got approved without it). But if you are a 1st time applicant, then u can submit it.
4. Since u are no more in the EE pool, then dts good.. But mind you, they already have ur record that u were once in the EE pool, so they will know u already have the intention of not coming back to Nigeria even after ur study in Canada, but that isnt a prolem tho as we have seen someone here in previous thread getting approval even with his EE status. In all this, Canada application is just by Gods grace cos even the most qualified still get rejected and the least qualified get approved, so it still boil down to the grace of God.. Do ur best in putting a tight appication and ask for Gods favour on ur application.. I hope this helps.. Peace

Hello, what is the essence of posting ur picture here? Is it that you dont know how to post on nairaland or is it that you are a fashion designer advertising ur attire, if its the latter, then I assume Fashion designers have their own forum on nairaland, cos personally I see no reason for posting ur personal pix here, cos it does not in any way relate to this thread. Not that u even took it in Canada to show us around.. Please be guided.. Peace [quote author=mustapha02 post=83023470][/quote]

You can go ahead with ur study permit application as it is stated on the Canadian webiste that an applicant can have both EE and study permit running simultaneously, but the truth be told, if an VO sees that a student permit applicant also have an EE profile then that obviously signals a wrong impression to the VO that such applicnat does not have any intention of coming back to his home country, resulting toa refusal.. But like I said, u can go ahead with ur study permit application.. What did not work for one may work for you, goodluck.. Peace

Useful1:
I have an ongoing Express entry visa application which is yet to be submitted. However, I just discovered a university within the Atlantic Region of Canada that offers the particular Masters program of my interest and also affordable to me. I would like to apply for study permit through the institution.

What should I do with the current application (yet to be submitted)?

Pls your response@

Everyone here with the answer

Yes. 90% of study permit applications both Paper and Online all go to the Nairobi office.. I think the remaining 10% go to either Lagos or Accra.. Peace

Toheebbello:
Thanks a lot for this response boss!

Please do online applications go to Nairobi office? Or what office do they go to for processing? Thanks

1. From when u did ur biometrics..
2. It is showing "No records found" because u applied through the online route.. You will need to check on updates from ur Online protal and not through VFS website.. The Link works for peeps that applied through the paper route.. Peace

Toheebbello:
Good Evening Guys,

I have two questions please:

1. For Online route, please I would like to know when the 9 weeks processing time starts to count for medical request to drop, is it after you submit your application or after you've done biometrics?

2. After I did my biometrics 3 days ago, I was sent a mail containing a link and a tracking number. Everytime I track the biometrics I did, it always pops up "No record found". Is there a reason for this or am I doing something wrong?

Gurus in the house, kindly help with trusted responses. Thanks

Upload ur Transcript directly to ur profile on the Ontario Portal, U dont need to do WES for you to be accepted... Peace

Molly90:
Good day Nairalanders , this is my first time dropping a message here but I have always been on the background reading. I appreciate everyone contributing here for the knowledge shared.

My question is to those currently in Conestoga College or recently applied to the school or have knowledge of the application system of the school. I will like to know if it's compulsory to send my Nigerian transcript first to WES or the other body for evaluation before applying on the Ontario College application centre OR can I upload my official transcript in its original form directly?

I will appreciate your kind response. Thank you in anticipation.

U have nothing to worry about.. ur medical request may drop soon... But since u went ahead to do upfront medicals, I wanna assume the Clinic would have submitted ur result to the embassy... So you should be expecting Medical passed soonest... I will advise you also upload the slip given to you in the Clinic via Webform or u can send the embassy a mail with ur Slip as attachment.. Peace

Jaylap:
@ Frankrobbn,Naijaforeigner,Justmellow,Austacus, Mcobex, Makano, Obehi... Please what next! I noticed my medical results has been under review since last week Friday which I did not submit my application with upfront medicals. So I was advised to go for upfront medicals and I got all the tests including X-ray done today. My application will just be 3 weeks on Saturday.

Its not compulsory here(Study permit application), but its compulsory there(Express Entry application).. Hope u fine now.. Peace

gsk4reality:
How do you mean? Could you Please shed more light on it....

Please ask ur sister if she got Medical request that was passed, or an upfront medical that was passed.. Please read wha I wrote before u come conclude here. I say it again BVL without Medical request or upfront medical passed which is 50% is automatic refusal.... Peace

sadoh55:
Not like bro......my sister got bvl and three weeks later her ppr dropped.

No.. But BVL without medical request is automatically a refusal.. Peace

Uriel12:
Does BVL now mean that your application has been refused?

Its not compulsory here, but its compulsory there.. Peace

Hello Elders in the house.
Please don't mind my question. Is IELTS compulsory when applying to schools in Canada and when submitting visa application?
I saw many post here on nairaland and most ppl don't include ielts score amidst what they submitted.
I want to register for it this month for Pgd admission into Fleming school in Canada.
Prompt assistance would be appreciated.

In my almost 2 years on this great thread, I have not seen such surplus of refusals in this manner.. Well, am not too surprised though cos all Study permit applications from Nigeria applicants are being taken to the Nairobi office, and we all know Nairobi VOs are not friendly with Nigerians, If it were to be London or Lagos VOs that have been attending to our applications, trust me the refusals wont be in this manner cos both Offices are kinda friendly, but you see these Nairobi VOs, they don't have JOY.. My point is that so far our applications still goes to the Nairobi VOs, the refusals will continue except the new Prime Minister coming in next month changes that which I doubt.. Our Leaders have failed us, and we all are really suffering for it... Peace

Ok, sis wish you the best, and get back to us on how you won the case and get ur visa approved.. Peace

Obehi44:
@makano, I have the GCMS notes except for the third one which is still on the way. It was the notes I used to reapply. Ask the great men here they will tell you. Or do you want me to dash you the GCMS notes LOL.
Anyway, as for the court, I have their time because I de vex and yes I will be patient.

If you have someone in Canada, the person can help you order it.... Peace

Olatycoon:
How do I order for gmcs note ? Pls

Request for a deferment, order for ur GCMS note and when ur new LOA is ready coupled with ur GCMS Note, write a convincing SOP na LOE to tackle the refusal reasons in ur GCMS note and re-fire.. Thats all u need to do, except u nt interested going to Canada to study again, then u can look at other countries.. Peace

Olatycoon:
I am sorry I didn't state that I already sent my school an email immediately you told me to. Just curious about the next step after that sir.

Is it that u dont read to understand or what? Ma last reply to ur query, i had told u what to do, and u are still here crying for help.. Or you expecting someone here to come to ur computer or phone to come send the mail to ur school.. I just dont understand some peeps here tho... Peace.

Olatycoon:
Pls what step should I take next? Pls I need help.

Send a mail to ur school requesting for a deferment, tell them you have just been refused and you will request your program is deferred to the next resumption date.. You can attach a copy of ur refusal to the mail to backup ur claim.. When did u apply though? Peace

Olatycoon:
Pls don't ignore me, what Is the next step for me to take January intake and my school said I should present my visa December 1st and just now I got a bad news.
