Canada visa approval/ rejection takes two stages.
A case officer does initial review before final decision by senior officer( VO)

awys:

There was one notes too I saw somewhere too they already created the notes for refusal the same day the Application was submitted cuz from the notes it was showing pending biometrics but the person's Application was still running that they are reviewing the eligibility until the person had done the medicals and biometrics infact they already updated the medicals to pass after that they now sent the refusal what baffles me they had already refused the person why not inform the applicant immediately but rather wait until they do biometrics and medicals while the applicant's will be hopeful that his or her application is running smoothly but they had refused it on the GCMS notes the very day the person submitted that's one of the lapses that I don't like inform the applicant immediately the decision was made and don't keep them waiting that's why it's ideal one orders the notes once it's taking longer than necessary at times it's might be running smoothly but at times they might have refused it a long time ago but didn't update it on the Portal!!!

Got delayed too yesterday based on purpose of visit.If I were delayed coz of financial status. I will just pay full tuition and do a GIC of $10,000.
That should remove all doubt concerning finances

Cuddles7:
My spouse got a 2nd refusal today for exact same reasons.. personal assets and financial status. Meanwhile we had about 9.5 million in his account and we submitted 12 months banking history via mybankstatement. Plus showed he is a member of a board of a company that has been running for over 35yrs. (Family business)

Seems judicial review is the only way out now. Cos there's nothing more to add.

First refusal was based on purpose of visit in September. Reapplied November now this....it's heartbreaking.

It is possible that the NSE document is uploaded but not submited.Check it again.You may raise a webform on the case and attach the documents.It shall end in praise!

Debbyiiii:
I applied october 28
Nse request came on Nov 26th
Submitted request December 19 since then nothing my eligibility hasn't started and no mails telling they have seen my additional documents .
My portal says additional documents uploaded
Should I be worried

You can use IELTS general as both are acceptable

saskatoonguy:
Good evening Guys, I received NSE letter today and the letter was dated Jan 12 and deadline to be Feb 12. Now my questions :

1. I have taking the IELTS general test before and its still valid. Can I submit the IELTS General Test like or I would need take another one which is IELTS academic?

2. The next IELTS date is Feb 6th. Can I still take the test (CDT)and still submit the online result before February 12 since the Hard copy of the result will not be available before the deadline.

Thanks . I await your response

Same here

Hi Bro,

I applied late Nov along with IELTS & MyBank Statements off the bat. I did not get an NSE request(perhaps as I have already applied with both documents upfront along with medicals as this was my second application).

My eligibility review has been on for 3 weeks or thereabout. Would it make sense to send both IELTS & MyBank Statements again, this time via webform or email and ask that the application should go through NSE route? Its been more than the 20 days processing time.

Good day to everyone in the house and special greetings to those contributing highly to see others successfully getting their TRV. I am learning a lot after my first refusal...I’m a silent reader on this platform. I was refused Study Permit in September 2020 due to purpose of visit and financial reasons. I already got my gcms note.

I want reapply, my questions is,

1. Is it now mandatory we all have to write IELTS?

2. Is mandatory we all go through the NSE route?

I asked because I haven’t written IELTS before and with the nature of my job it’ll be hard to write it now..And I will appreciate a lot if someone can help me review my LOE/SOP to see if I tackled all necessary issues highlighted from my previous refusal..Thanks!!

It's called Ghost update.It means VO aceesed your application. I read somewhere that you may have btw 3 and 5 Ghost Update b4 PPR

Hello my people,
Pls I have searched I have not seen school which I can apply for PGC in Electrical engineering with my Electrical engineering HND. I was directed to Conestoga and Fanshawe College but they don't have direct Electrical engineering PGC.

Pls you guys should help. School that offer electrical engineering PGC in Canada

I submitted my SP on 29 Oct & did exactly the same thing by sending MBS & IELTS on 23rd Nov.IRCC confirmed by 9th Dec that the MBS & IELTS are on my file.I went ahead with upfront medical and passed late DEC.Awaiting PPR by God's grace.

davo99:
I didn't get the NSE email, but during that period people were getting, I submitted IELTS AND MBS because I had them available.
Submitted them multiple times through webforms &mails, it was never acknowledged though.

Any will do provided you have at least 6.0 in each of Writing, Listening,Speaking and Reading.
BTW, when did you submit your application and how many months are covered in your MBS (4,6 or 12 months)
Thanks

Adetunji001:
Goodday everyone. I congratulate the latest PPRs.
I just got a mail from IRCC to submit IELTS alone( i submitted MBS including upfront medical).

Please i don't know which is acceptable or better between:
British council ielts and mod IELTS?
Paper based and computer based?

And pls, can someone point me to materials i can use to ace it because i intend to write before the end of next week.

Truth be told oo, i just pray i get my PPR before my test date. I believe God can do this for me.
What God cannot do doesn't exist.

Congratulations, It shall end in praise for us all

What God cant do doesn't exist..

1st application August 4th refused October 2nd

2nd application I did myself with Gods help on October 8th and approved today January 8th..

Thank you Jesus...I was so worried and God did it...

At first, I received only the email with ticket/psw.
But after calling FCMB and complaining to MyBank Statement firm.I received A PDF document which I added to my application.

Jojo257:
Did anyone who submitted the mybankstatement use an fcmb account? If yes then please we’re you given a one page ticket or just an email containing the ticket number and password.

A court affidavit is what you need

hopeyemih:
Good morning and thanks for this wonderful thread.
Please i have an issue I’d like to get explanation on as I intend to go to Canada for my masters.
On my International Passport, Birth Certificate and Bank statement of accounts, my names are; Makinde Oye Oluwafemi.
While on my BSC certificate and transcript, my name is written as;
Makinde Oye Femi

Please what issues may this pose on my visa application and how can it be rectified.
I need urgent answers please. Thank you.

What this has shown is that it's not enough to have large amount of money in your bank statement, sources of the fund is essential. The GCMS suggest that you did not add enough documents to show source of the funds( yours and that of ur uncle)
You may need your uncle to provide his employment documents or his business documents.

ehiremen2002:
I am wondering what else they want. I share the finance session of my SOP and please need help to compare this with result from IRCC complaining of Finance

It's 20 working days( that's about 28 calendar days).Give and take, 30 days

awys:

Am telling you no difference na 20days don elapse for people that submitted the NSE requirements yet no response.IRCC self dey worry oooo.God help us

Then print the MyBankStatement for BTW the date u submitted ur application and a year b4. For example if u submitted ur application on 1st October 2020; let the MyBankStatement cover 1st Oct 2019 to 1st Oct ,2020
However, u should generate the statement from ur internet banking App first and be sure the inflow for the one year is consistent with final balance.
If this isn't ok by you, just mail them to continue normal processing and wait

Longjonjoe:
Guys, I’ve uploaded my IELTS and it was successful, now this mybankstatement is the problem kos there’re no much funds on it, when i printed it initially, I borrowed 16m to make it up to 20m and returned it back. Asking the person again, em no gree borrow me. Chai

Is there any October 2020 applicant
(1) Whose Eligibibility has not started.
(2) Who is yet to receive NSE letter.
Thanks All!

Wow, you must have given it ur all within that short time.Congratulations for the success in the IELTS. The IRCC letter says MyBankStatement with POF of at least 6 months with 12 months bank history.In my opinion( I stand to be corrected though), POF for 12 months = 1st year tuition+1000CAD. POF for 6 months = 1st semester tuition+ 5000CAD. In a normal situation and based on you have funding, minimum POF for 6 months is 0(coz u have funding for the tuition) + 5000CAD(ur 6 months living expenses)= 5000CAD. This is just my thought, I am not sure if this is the expectation of IRCC/ ur VO

kelvine95:
So, guys, I gave IELTS Academic a shot last week Thursday( using the Computer Delivered method. Result came out this morning and somehow, God helped me to get 7.5, and I prepared for less than a week due to the NSE urgency. But then, I am still not settled yet about the funding part, do you people feel I should add my funding letter plus mybankstatement authentication slip showing about 4,700 cad as financial support? I don't want it to be used against me since they specifically said mybankstatement,but then, I don't want to wait till God knows when for Visa application outcome. I just need general advice from y'all. Please, I am very confused.

For study permit, the spouse will get Open work permit , LMIA isnt required but as you said, applying with family/spouse may rob off the applicant points for Hometie, this may lead to rejection except the SOP is strong and clear enough to convince the VO

adeenzo:

It's possible but there are so many mitigating factors.
1. for you to have a work permit, a company (LMIA) in Canada must have given you an employment letter before you even begin the work permit process.
2. It might count against your husband when it comes to family ties in his home country, it is better he goes alone so that he has you (his wife) and if you guys have kids, as his family ties to comply him to coming back
3. My overall advice is that you guys should try the express entry, it might be a better route for you.

Please wait for the gurus in the house to give more inputs

@JohnErrin I think NSExpress isn't for you based on your explanation.When u receive the NSE letter, just send them a msg to continue you application in a normal.

JohnErrin:
Hey guys, i can see alot of people are getting the email from ircc that they have been chosen for student express entry, and are required to send bank statenment using mybankstatenment and ielts. My question is will i be needed to write ielts as i have done it before and i graduated from a school in the UK, and also my dads bank is first bank and i dont see it as part of the banks that offer a mybankstatement option.
if i was given this student express entry letter how would i go about the bank situation? because waiting a long time to opt out of it is not an option for me as my school starts jan 12.
Thank you

First bank is not among the listed Banks

bale98:
Good morning, Please does first bank issue Mybankstatement. Or how do I get it from Firstbank please.

@silvamania, You may need to impress it on them that what you need is called MyBankStatement. It is supposed to be one page with Ticket ID and password.
Some of them dont know about it yet

silvamania:
Good day All,

Regarding mybank statements for Nigeria Student Express . My bank (Union) sent me one year bank statement in soft copy. I was expecting that they will just forward the ticket No and password

Can I use this soft copy or I must tell them to send the ticket

Thank you
