Good evening sir. Google Pay4Me. It's an app that helps international student pay for their fees and application fee in Naira. Also check out, Tuition by Flutterwave (I don't know if they are still operating, but check them out). If you don't trust these platforms, convert your naira to USD with a bureau de change and send to your Dom account. Open a form A application to process the money from your Dom account (I have a UBA Dom account and this is how they do theirs. I don't know about other banks).

I said I don't know much about Japan and I prefer Canada because it's more multicultural than Japan.

PPR on a beautiful Tuesday morning
Congratulations to me and I am grateful to God and this forum.
Good luck to those waiting for IRCC decision.

Duchess102:
Thanks for your response, however, do you have idea of their policy for in-person or representative submission or pick of passports.

Duchess102:
How much did you pay. I thought the $85 should cover the transmission according to what I read online, I saw this in VFS website, 👉👉
> If no package is transmitted at the time of biometric enrolment (when the application has been submitted online), the initial package transmission is included in the fee of CAD $85 for biometric enrolment and package transmission.

If you need to provide your biometrics, the biometric fee of C$ 85.00 (per person) / C$ 170.00 (for a family of 2 or more) / C$ 255.00 (for a group of performing artists of 3 or more) covers the Visa Application Centre service charge for package transmission, with the exception

Duchess102:
Friday is too close to start worrying and is a half day, Monday might be too busy for them, however you should receive a email from them confirming the received of your passport.
Did you pay VFS for transmission?

Duchess102:
Check thread of nairaland for SOWP

Duchess102:
Try VFS global

Kindyl:
That was fast! Lucky you. I pray for my miracle too.

Duchess102:
Congratulations, hopefully you will meet up with resumption.
How did you resolve the requested documents

Neche207:
please when did u submit and which portal did u use to submit

MarksmanD:
Write to IRCC asking for more time to submit the updated documents and genuinely state why it'll take time to get the documents ready. Also what you did isn't right. Until you have gotten your study permit in Canada, that's when you can touch your POF. If you're scared of devaluation, just convert your money to USD or GBP and put it in a Dom account. I pray you come out of this with good news. And I hope others too can learn from you.

Duchess102:
You can go to first bank and request for mybankstatement, explain to the customer care that you want it in your email, you can try to do that also using your banking app.
I don't know if the will reply to your webform about extending of deadline since there is nothing difficult in what the asked for? Unless you are admitted to hospital, kidnapped etc. But you can try to request that today meanwhile you need to put effort and get the documents have the them ready incase you received no or negative reply about extending of date.
If you are sure of getting evidence of investment by micro finance no need to liquidate your investment since a shorterm investment. Just print both account statement and add evidence of investment, statement of explanation for removal of POF and why you didn't pay your fees complete.
For the fee, you can state that you are not sure of their refund policy, so the school allows students to deposit a certain amount to secure their seat and pay complete after their visa has been issued.
Good luck 🤞#i am also an applicant I may not have suggested the best#

Thanks so much for the insightful advice.

MarksmanD:
There's no way you can resume on the 3rd of September. Take your time on this and decide on deferring, but do everything IRCC ask of you. Please, give a detailed explanation of why you moved funds with proof of short term investment receipt, but don't state that you always wanted to defer your admission.

Duchess102:
1,500CAD out of 10,000CAD is not good enough to show that you are committed to the study, you should atleast pay complete or half, unless the fees are non refundable by the school which you should state in your letter of explanation.

Alternatively, they might have requested for these documents because the last one you sent has poor resolutions or was blurred.

Hello Everyone,

I need your urgent help on how best to go about the following additional documents requested by IRCC.

Let me quickly give you a brief background and what documents I initially submitted with my visa application around 28th Jun 2024.

Since last weekend up till yesterday, I have sent about 3 webforms to IRCC, inquiring about an update regarding my application and arguing about the fact that my University program starts on the 3rd of Sept 2024.

So early this morning, I got an email from IRCC, directing me to my application portal and requesting me to send the following additional documents with some very short deadline:

A) An updated proof of funds (i.e. a bank statement specifically from my First Bank account for the period of *2023-12-01* to *2024-08-15* and must be submitted through mybankStatement)

B) Include an explanation/receipts for any large bank deposits received

C) Corresponding pay slips for that period

D) Tuition payment receipt(s) and

E) A current student statement of account from your designated learning institution.

This must be received at this office by 2024/08/26.

Meanwhile, when I submitted my visa application in June, I submitted my bank account statement which included a lump sum received for parcel of inherited landed property I sold. In my SOP, I explained this in detail and attached the land survey, deed of conveyance from the family trustees, the sales agreement proving the source of the lump sum and other documentary evidence of my investment with some other financial institutions.

I equally submitted my four month pay slips from my new place of work which I joined four months ago and my pension fund statement of about 12m.

I also included valid documents of my other landed properties including the one I built and live in. Please, note that I planned to sell another two undeveloped plots but I am yet to see a serious buyer.

I also submitted an account statement issued by my University that I have paid the tuition deposit of 1,500CAD out of 10,000CAD tution for first term.

However, shortly after submission I pulled out the lump sum which is about 40m and I also pulled out about 3m from my second bank account and invested it in a short term fix deposit with a microfinance bank. I made this decision because I intended to defer my varsity admission in order to buy time and raise more money to be able to pay for remainder of both first and second term and the one year living expenses, hoping I could get the visa with a tution deposit.

Now, that IRCC is requesting for an updated account statement within a week, I am concerned about the short deadline and dont know if I can pay the tuition balance and get receipt from the university within a week deadline. Also, I am not sure if anyone here has ever used mybankStatement at First bank.

Please, I need your candid advice and guidance on how to handle this predicament within this very short deadline.



I'd like to ask did nobody advise you? The faith you have is a lot. I feel you were still supposed to show proof of funds

TradeSunMoore:
Two 23kg for check in, one 10kg for carry on and a laptop bag for carry on as well . You do not need a transit visa if Frankfurt is your only stop over before you enter Canada. As for Ghana must go iam not too certain. But other can provide more clarity
Note the 10kg carry on must fit a specific dimension so make sure it is not too big.

JMG12:
Failure to declare it might also jeopardize your chances because during background check the VO might pull out such information if your son used you as a sponsor. Also, your other son and wife in Nigeria with your job or business outweigh your son in Canada.

JMG12:
Print it out from the bank or from your mobile app

Good afternoon gurus in the house,
My wife applied for admission to one of the colleges in Canada and an offer was given and tuition deposit was paid, but she was not given PAL (Attestation letter) and i have been spending in preparing proof of funds so in other not to lose the money I have spend in pof, I want to apply for admission for myself so i can use the proof of funds for my own visa application when the offer is out.
I will really appreciate if anyone can help recommend any university in Canada that can give admission within one week, two weeks or a month so i can use the proof of funds for my own application. I intend to go for a master degree program in Architecture. Please I really need you people help.

technix:
Yes, you can submit your visa application with this type of conditional offer.

It's not compulsory to pay tuition deposit in this case. But paying can facilitate a positive visa outcome.

JMG12:
You can go ahead with your submission but if you have the means to pay your tuition you can as well do that, it will also reduce the financial burden

JMG12:
That is not true, the school might give you conditional admission it means you are to fulfill all conditions stated on your letter of acceptance, but if there is no condition then you can submit your study permit.

colored:
If it's not on IRCC's website then the information is fake.

JMG12:
Where to start is looking up the list of DLI schools in Canada, you can google, but here is the link
