Guy please read it up on my reply to maziude, i am not in the mood for Q and A's. I know how to deal with it. Just if you have an answer to if anyone has escaped misrepresentation, you can please give examples. Thanks

To those whose study permit application got refused for one reason or another, GET YOUR GCMS file! No need rushing to reapply. If your situation or information hasn't changed substantively since the refusal, there is high likelyhood that the re-application will be refused for same reason(s) and there will be little reason to expect a different decision.

Your ONLY chance to put an air tight reapplication is when you know the officer's information as surmised or inferred in your file. DO NOT underestimate your immigration file because once CANADA refuses your visa application, most top destination countries will have that information and it will stick with you for atleast a decade or 5 years to say a minimum. Do not give them continous reason(s) to refuse your application on same grounds. Each reapplication is treated as a new application but information from any previous application will be used as reference for the new application.

This thing has been buttressed here repeatedly. Please, don't take a chance to get a good immigration record for granted. Get it right in your new application.

To our newbies and silent followers, it will not be enough to silently read or assume you have put in a good application. If you have any doubt whosoever about your documents or any information about your application before you apply, come out of hiding and get help. Nobody is an island of whatsoever kind of knowledge, it's a collective effort to get things right. It is seemingly getting tougher by the day for study permit applications coming from Nigeria. The scrutiny is increasingly stringent even with an assumed good application. However, this new development will require re-strategizing with cogent and vital information that will present you as a genuine student irrespective of which level of study your proposed program is.

CALM DOWN and get your GCMS file! It will help you.

Congratulations!! You mean you applied 27th of July... It's less than a month Wawuuuu...God be praised!!!

ebubedrums001:
Thank u lot. Does he need to state, in the letter of sponsorship that he's going to liquidate it, or the pension firm are the ones to state that upon request

Hello, in my humble opinion, your uncle can liquidate his pension, transfer it to his savings/current account and give you a particular sum for your tuition and living expenses .
He has to have a sufficient balance left which depends on the number of his other dependants (especially if he is paying for your studies and you have no personal funds).
Also i dunno what should be the content in letter of sponsorship but an affidavit should pull through! Gurus could help!
Take care!

ebubedrums001:
I greet everyone here. I intend applying for study permit few weeks from now. The only issue is that my sponsor has a pension fund of over Nine million naira(and another over 1.5million in his savings account), I'm quite skeptical if d pension fund would be acceptable.
Pls it's kinda urgent. I need u guys to help out with necessary info.
Thanks y'all

Hello sir/ma
Firstly i think pension fund is considered a fixed asset except your uncle is willing to liquidate it(correct me if im wrong)
Secondly you uncle need to provide enough physical funds in his account with a good source i.e YOUR TUITION+10KCAD (say U of Manitoba 14kcad+10kcad living expenses Totals 24kcad)
Your uncle might need to transfer some funds to you although it isn't compulsory but with recent happenings it puts you on the safe side to have part of your funds given to you by your sponsor
Hope this helps,
Take care

i got a message from accraimmigration@cic.gc.ca. Do anyone know what this means. I am suppose to resume on the 5th of september but up till now i am still waiting for VO to call for my passport. What do i do. Thanks for your help

Dear Sir/Madam,

This email acknowledges receipt of your documents. Kindly note that a final decision has been taken on your application.

You will be contacted by the Visa Application Centre once they receive it.

Thank you for your interest shown in Canada.

Hello
Fnal decision has been made nau...
Na to check your portal if you linked your application online
What other interpretation do you need?

adebunmi07:
you guys pls now answer me pls

They already advised accordingly, if you don't get a response by the end of the month from CIC then you defer.... Still it's all your decision alone to make!!
Goodday!

You have spoken well @jnyuwa02. Well my employment letter(Job) and my family member can serve as my home tie, together with Landed properties.

MUN has refused to waive the ESL program on the ground that i was taught in English language throughout my high school education and obtained a B grade in WAEC.

They said that students from Nigeria are to sit for IELTS exams and acquire a minimum overall score of 6.5, reading and writing 6.0 each. I once wrote IELTS last year and obtained overall 6.0, reading and writing 6.0. They refused that i should rewrite the IELTS exams or go for an ESL program.

I can see many schools waving ESL program for students from Nigeria. I'm surprised at MUN.

Do you mean the ESL program will bring a red flag in my next application?

I await your response shortly.

People have done ESL successfully nau but there are several other schools you can apply to, Paying for ESL and university tuition is no joke(abt 4000cad asides your tuition)
You can even get a school furthering your desktop publishing diploma which I think might be cheaper

Hello nairalanders,
I just got accepted for a Master program at University of Manitoba for winter 2018. Please I need help as regard to processing my visa m

Just fall on page 0 of this part/thread... Page 0 Fall on you too for all necessary infos!!!

senator77:
My lovely people in the house please i need your advice:

My middle name was written as " Shola " on my land doc (deed & survey) instead of " Sola " as on my credentials & Int'l passport.
Can i go ahead to use it as one of my home ties or will that raise unnecessary doubts in the mind of VO. Please advise.

Please get a confirmation of name from your local court. It might just save you, dont overlook it, clear your path by yourself because d VO mit be in doubts.... Note: 'mit'

Ranges:
I have letter from my school, pls can you tell me what you mean by SOP?

Study plan....or
Statement of purpose.....or
Letter of intent....or
A letter Stating your profile, qualifications,goals and prospects in the long run too..
Any which one...... Needed to be attached alongside your application.... Its an important doc tho!

Cscd1234:
But you and I know that this "guy" you're referring to is yourself. Because you have asked this question before, and just last night when you said that you work at the airport, I stalked you small (lol ) and saw the same question in your previous posts.

Meanwhile I thought they (the gurus) have answered you, and advised you to apply and study a course similar to your current job.

I don't get why you're hiding under the guise of "a friend" to ask the same question. It's not a thing to hide. Not like you're asking a question that is bad or illegal.
Anyway cheers.

Bros y you no just jump and pass... Nawa to you ooh

Emmane:
Why is it that most people who did not put down their names on the TRV hopeful list for Fall come in to share their Updates - Both Delayed and Approved. No hard feelings and not against any great testimony as we are all longing for some positive response sooner than later. But......

This goes to the silent readers/followers..... Please update the house on your application. So that it won't seem as if IRCC is totally forgetting some of us here, when they are actually busy updating the silent followers of this thread.

Congratulations to the recently approved.

You too handle the list... Alot of people post but are not updated due to busy schedules of our gurus So you can help out too sir.

Osemigho:
Now is the best time to start supervisor search for fall 2018 because some may not reply soon, some not at all, and others may want to work out your proposal with you. Remember to send good and personalized email. Check this thread and others for numerous email format.

Also, Keep an open mind I.e. Except the supervisor says specify your proposed research aka "add research proposal", don't, if you don't have a resounding research. Attach your transcript, resume, and certificate copy if possible.

I started mine around July last year. Good luck.

Sir please add me to the trv hopefuls,Thanks

Cscd1234:
Have you gotten an approval mail yet?

Or passport request?

You say whaaaa?? Just about to join the fever

Anyone going to Vsf abi Vfs lekki tomorrow.... Cold don dey catch me

buggi102kruse:
Thanks so much bro! My fear is if they see variations in the age that might be easy way to refusal. It's only my passport that has this age, ssce is NECO so no age written on it. If only embassy will accept degree certificate without asking transcript or having access to it, I think I will be good

I still suggest you get a Sworn affidavit of declaration of age from the court, Include it because correcting age is no easy process.... Besides it would be useful later even if you don't include it in your Visapp!

buggi102kruse:
Pls house I need help o!
The date of birth I have in my Int passport is different from what I hv in my transcript. And I have tried correcting it but the process, it's almost impossible. Can I summit only my degree certificate to embassy without transcript? Secondly will VOs ask the school for my data to check if what I summited to school and embassy are the same. Please I need advice please please.

I think you should get a Sworn Declaration of Age from your local court and not omit vital documents instead

Austinpee4:
@bbclue, there is always a lot of comic relief in your posts which i enjoy alot! Atleast it ease the tension here! I just like your presence.

There are no shortcuts to success sir.

Honestly if you know how to get people worked up with your posts It wont work for me iJn!!!! This isn't your first oo
