Hello everyone, I came across this forum late I was denied a study permit in July. I plan on changing my university. Please is it possible to apply for another study permit with a different school acceptance letter?

muizzzz:
Good evening Team,

Please can application be refused/ denied as a result of non payment of tuition deposit. Though no specific time was given for payment.

Can one proceed with the application and pay the tuition deposit later.

jnyuwa02:
I am making progress, thanks for checking. I hope to resume this fall God willing. 18 days CIC has to release my decision or I loose my full scholarship, having deffered from last fall and this is my last deferment. God will intervene.

Hi guys, my sister got an acceptance letter for fall 2019 at Durham College, one of the conditions for acceptance stated on the letter is a partial fee payment of $9763.64 must be received by the college by June 15, 2019 to secure her seat. She's gonna apply to CIC next month, since the expiry is still 8 months away is it compulsory she pay the money before application? will it in anyway affect her application?

Good day to the Gurus in the house and distinguished Nairalanders.

My Study permit application was refused for the second time. I was initially refused in London on the ground of purpose of visit. I put up a strong SOP to convince the VO why I would return to Nigeria after my studies. Provided evidence of personal investments, bequeathed building from my late Father, included my admission letter which stated that payment of school fee can only be done after receiving study permit and other strong points which I did not include in my first application, but after notifying IRCC of changes in my status that my wife put to bed and stated that I have made adequate provisions for their up keep I was slapped with a refusal by nairobi in two hours after sending the message. This time nairobi stated four reasons for refusal even though I took my time to prepare a very strong SOP. I do not know whether I did wrong by informing IRCC of changes in status cos I know it is mandatory to reveal such changes to IRCC so as to update your profile. I AM NOT GIVING UP YET.

MsChidi:
Hi guys. I am new to this forum. You guys are doing a great job. I am currently in the process of getting my TRV, I applied for an MBA at the University of Toronto, and I got a message from the VO requesting for me to do my medicals. What I noticed from reading this thread from part 1 to 14 is that no one spoke on what the medicals entail.

Pls can someone be kind enough to tell me what the VO is checking for in the medicals that may make him/her grant a visa or not? is there a certain disease an applicant have that might hinder his/her getting a TRV.

Awaiting your reply

Please after I receivd details about my biometrics on my online status, I haven't heard from the embassy till now, I did my biometrics on the 10th of June I was expecting they should have asked me to bring my passport by now, the school which I applied for would be starting 1st September, I don't know what to do.if the school resumes, will my application still be in progress or they would cancel it because the school started? I want to know please if resumption of school can stop my Visa processing. I would appreciate it you guys help and advise me

APPROVAL ALERT

Sorry this is coming late. I've also been an observer on this thread as well. i was supposed to share with the house but i've been very busy lately plus i wanted to hold the visa in my hand first to see for myself..lool (because CIC people are always surprising us) but after i saw what @mackano wrote i decided to just sharing pending the arrival of my passport.

Program- MBA
School- University of New Brunswick

Timeline.
i applied on June 9th
Biometric letter came in June 13th
Biometric done June 14th at VFS Lagos
Medical request August 14th

Submitted my Passport August 24th at vfs and i was told to cexpect it in 5-10 working days of which im currently waiting for at the moment

Documents submitted:
My Dad's SOA because he is my sponsor (sufficient one)
1.My transcript,
2. BSC certificate,
3. letter of sponsorship signed by my dad,
4.WAEC result,
5 Call to Bar Certificate and CV,
6. SOP (the SOP i used was the one i wrote for my school in other to get admission there, i did not know i was supposed to write a different SOP for Visa,
7. Admission letter,
8.Acceptance deposit of 1k (i did not pay tuition before applying)and passport bio data page.

i finished uni in 2015, then i went to law school, finished in 2016, finished NYSC in December last year (2017) and as that time i submitted my application i was not working then (unlike now). All in all i forgot to submit a lot of things like police certificate and all, i did not even put home ties or submit any information on my siblings or any other thing. when i joined this thread i discovered i did not submit a whole LOT of things and my application looked watery to me and i was scared cause a friend who is an agent did my application for me for free so i was getting jittery.

But regardless i believe that it was just God that helped me out because i was already losing hope. To all the TRV hopefuls it will definitely end in praise. this last week of august will not pass anyone by. there shall be no denials or deferrals just positive vibes only. Thanks to everyone that contributed in this group, i've really learnt a lot.

@jibola, Ralph Daniels, Onyi, Dami, Ruth and Florence, kingfintan it will definitely end in praise

henricson:
Please I need help from those who did online applications?
Please how did you guys upload documents like certificates, police clearance, birth certificates and family documents?
I did ask this before and someone replied he uploaded certain documents certain files, i guess i didnt understand this. But I realised each file say proof if financials for instance can take only one document at a time, any other upload later on replaces the first upload.

Please I want to understand how you guys actually did this

Good morning house . How easy is it to get a job in canada ? And is it possible to work with a study permit in canada without getting enrolled with your direct learning institite ? Please anyone

makano:
Not at all.. So far the VO does not start working on ur application after ur school fees payment deadline date. Cos they always watch out for that.

Carlz1:
July 27th applicant . Eligibility review just started

muizzzz:
Good Morning Friends,

Please can application be refused for failure to pay tuition deposit before submitting application.

Is their any penalty for this ?

jnyuwa02:
I was me who said writing LOE and SOP at the same time was not necessary. I repeat it again. But if you remember correctly, I said you won’t be denied if you did. But it is simply better to obey instructions, the visa office wants an LOE alone. It better to stick to those rules and avoid unnecessary things because you don’t know the VO reading. One may not have qualms with it, another may misconstrue it as extravagant and superfluous. You are more effective conveying your message in LOE instead of fragmenting them Into an LOE and SOP. There are exception to the rules, just like some can write pages and pages of SOP and are approved when you can do so effectively in 3-4 pages not taking the officers valuable time and attention span. I am glad to see exception to the rules when it happens and I congratulate him.

jdhills:
. please can you be a little detail? am stuck as to whether i need to write IELTS or TOELF or not before applying for masters degree in canada. some one told me that they refuse visa for candidate without test of English , hence my fear! Am a pharmacist by profession....

kingfintan:
Finally my correspondence letter has arrived, and would be in Canada by nextweek for the fall session..

I was denied in June, applied for a second degree which some gurus in the house discouraged me not to go for, that I should go for a masters or something higher, despite having a 5 years engineering degree here in Nigeria 3 years ago.

I re-applied with faith without using a gcms note to tackle the reason.. I just wrote 6 pages of SOP and another 4 Pages of LOE together, and today I was approved of my visa(3 years) from the Kenya witchy witch VO, they denied me before.

Whoever has been denied before, please re-apply till you get it, because you will surely get it.. do not let anyone discourage you, go for what you want and back it up with good application and prayers, you will come out victorious.

I pray for everyone here who is waiting on their decision, you shall all be approved IJN, frustration is far from you.. please pray always, as prayer is the key..

I fasted for good 9 days with no food, just Garri and water.. but I knew after that, the lord would answer me..

I want to thank everyone one here who has contributed so well, and those who criticized me, you all made me strong.. and I can’t wait to always see good news here.

It will end in praise!!

Nickibella:
please can someone send me the list of Canadian courses?
