Hello Bruno

It depends on the applicant.. According to my research and observation.

Major Reason applicants prefer waiting to get a request from IRCC:

Considering the cost of medicals, some applicants feel since Upfront Medicals is never a guarantee for Visa approval, they don't see any reason to book for Medicals, since it does not guarantee Visa. So they prefer they wait for Medical request which is a right signal that the application will be approved. Once you get a Medical request, its top priority at the clinics, so even if there is no space within the deadline given you in your Medical request letter, they tend to allow you do your medicals before your deadline, but this is not so for Upfront Medicals. When you get a Medical request, your application is 99% sure of approval (unless village people are on your case). The only disadvantage to this is that the application may tend to delay.

Major Reason applicants prefer doing Upfront

This is simply for fast processing (not proven) of one's application. When it gets to the stage of Medical examination, instead of the Visa Officer going through the process of sending the Medical request, he/she works with the already submitted upfront Medical Examination result, so much time wont be spent during this stage. But like I said, upfront Medical does not in any way have any effect on the positive outcome of an application.. Its 50-50 chance..

Its your Eligibility to study that determines if you will be approved of your study permit application or refused..

Peace

You shouldn't be surprised though..

IRCC gives PPR even on Sundays, so why not Saturday..

Probably your application has been escalated to a senior Visa officer for further review on your application, be prepared and be positive..

Its accessed by who before it gets to the VO?

Please drop a link to backup this ur claim... I need facts

bullstriker:
When you submit an application, it assessed before it is eventually assigned to a visa officer. So, whenever you receive a message stating that your application is currently under active review, it simply means that it has passed this stage and is assigned to a visa officer.

Hello Moore

1. I have gotten Visa for applicants that submitted just Deed of assignments and survey plans, so Yes.

2. Yea.. If he has Intl Passport, then that will be an added advantage.

3. Degree certificate should be enough, you are applying for Visa and not Admission..

But if you have the transcript, then there is no harm in submitting both..

Peace
Mooe:
Hello Everyone,

Please I need clarity on some things for visa application.
- Is Deed of Conveyance and Assignment alongside Survey plan enough to to show for land documents?
- Can my sponsor submit only his National ID as proof of ID?
- Do I need to submit my ND & HND transcripts for an undergraduate diploma or just my certificates are enough?

I'LL REALLY APPRECIATE QUICK RESPONSES. THANK YOU SO MUCH

You can send another mail to makanoglobalservices@gmail.com, I will be online for some minutes..

I got denied after waiting for six months, this is really frustrating, first time applicant. Although i had previously applied for u.s but was also denied. Please how can i order for my gcms notes to know the main concern of the v.o. I tried checking online though, what am seeing is that i must be a Canadian citizen or a resident in Canada for me to apply or a resident can apply on my behalf. Play the gurus in the house should assist, @makano i sent you a mail please respond. Any suggestions from anybody would be highly appreciated

Hello Emotions

No one can determine this..

Most MPs do not respond, cos actually they attend to residents in their provinces/constituency (in Canada)..

Its only the nice ones that go all the way to attend to queries outside of Canada, prolly because the said applicant will soon be a resident in their province..

So there is no timeline on when they respond, they may and may not respond..

To God be the glory, great things he hath done! It's PPR my people.

I thank God Almighty for approving my SP application. It's only Him that can actually do it. IRCC, or the VO in charge of my file, was just a conduit for His works. I praise the name of God Almighty. Thank you Jesus!

I specially thank my spouse. I understand you just always want the best for the family. God bless you real good.

And now to the big masquerade, Makano, I can't thank you enough for the encouragement and support. Your professional guidance right from the onset is part of what we are celebrating today. You sure know what a sure application is. Despite my worries about the delay, you were cock sure that the visa would be issued, and more so in August. I know I didn't take to some of your advice, but I'm sure you'd understand that was due to anxiety about out nation. Thank you Makano. I recommend Makano to you all.

Meanwhile, Makano, we go still find way resolve that good dilemma.

Worthy mentions also to Mama12345, Ketima, Tobe1997 and Toceen2022. God bless you all.

Key information about my application and my timeline below:

1. First time applicant/New portal
2. Sponsor: Spouse
3.Tuition for 2 years: CAD 31,274
4. 1.5m + 2.9m (Applicant)
5. 5m (Sponsor)
6. USD 6,888 + USD 7,000 (Sponsor)

O ya o! Make una help with visa submission process. I know it's been shared several times. I just need reassurance on the choice that can deliver my 'visaed' passport within a week. School resumes early September.

Thank you all

Hello Gloria

What do you wanna know about Conestoga College..

2. Yes, you can. With the assumption you have other strong home ties apart from your family members..

But if you know you don't have strong home ties, I will advise you apply alone or at least with ur youngest child and use your other Family members as home ties..

You stand a high chance of getting your Visa when you apply alone and use your other family members as home ties than applying as a family without any home ties in your home country..

Remember, Study permit application is a Temporary Visa application and not a Permanent resident application..

Hello Aboki (Lol)

I don't think you will get any response from either the MPs or IRCC cos your application is still very much within the Processing time..

You only send mails to IRCC when your application has passed the approved IRCC processing time for study permit application and send mails to MPs when your Resumption date is getting close without any response from IRCC yet.

I have been following your response to the said moniker and you seem to be very intelligent and calm with the way you responded him/her.

And as to the bolded, I totally agree.. His/her reply to my post on August 10 saying I am discouraging her when in fact I was advising the concerned applicants(I wasn't even directing that message to her) shows she isn't even calculative when responding to sensitive posts..

I chose to ignore her cos of course I don't have the luxury of time to argue here on a faceless forum with someone I dont even know how he/she looks like.. I have alot on my table to attend to, both Canada related and non- Canada related..

HouseRavenclaw:
1. Not sure what you’re on about but nowhere did the original poster say the applicant was yet to apply. They also didn’t say it wasn’t possible to receive a final decision before September 6. They said the applicant “might” not receive one and they wanted to be proactive. Whether you just applied or have an application looming over 12 weeks, it is not advisable to assume IRCC will respond before your required deadline.

2. You’re right. We do learn everyday. This is why it’s better to allow those equipped with immigration knowledge to share the facts. The applicant in question specifically requested for guru and consultant takes. Not fellow applicants. No one is saying you cannot contribute but be aware that if your contribution has plot holes, they will be pointed out.

3. There wasn’t a single insult in anything written there. If you feel that way, you’re free to highlight what caused you to feel insulted. I simply pointed out the irony of asking if IRCC is on leave while having an application that has been looming for months. You seem a tad too defensive.

Another agent wahala..

Why will someone keep details from the Original owner of the accounts they actually paid for..

Where is even the time to be keeping details of many applicants and monitoring their applications...

Apply for them and give them their login details so they can be following up with their applications, what's difficult in doing that...

Thats why I frown at anyone that calls me an agent, Guru is okay with me..

Guess your agent doesn't even know Jack, cos if he does, he will know that Medicals is valid for 12 months and he wont have told you to go do another Medical Examination.. All you need to do is to write IRCC informing them that you have done an Upfront Medicals earlier and make sure you attach your medical E-sheet with the
mail you will be sending..

Good morning,

Please I am quite new on here. My study permit started on the 30th May through an agent. It hasn’t really been a nice experience but it is well

Here is my current issue, both background, criminality and eligibility have been approved on my profile. I received a medical request yesterday of which I had done upfront at IOM on the 1st of August 2022 and it was confirmed to have been sent to IRCC on the 9th of August 2022

Now, my agent who seems to be really secretive about everything down to my log in details is insisting that I do another Medicals which I believe shouldn’t be so as they emphasized this during my Medicals at IOM

Please, any advice on what I can do because there are even no close dates, the earliest i see is September 16th and I have 30 days to complete the Medicals.

School resumes on the 6th of September

Thank you and may God grant our heart desires.
