Study Permit Timeline

- [ ] Biometrics updated: Next day after biometrics i think

- [ ] BVL and refusal letter were sent at once
- [ ] Reason for refusal: Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).

I requested GCMS notes but didn’t wait for it before reapplying. While waiting for a response to my application I did some research and picked out some things I did wrong in my application.
- [ ] I didn’t explain the source of funds in my account and
- [ ] instead of uploading the flywire receipts for fees ( which are verifiable), I took a screenshot of my student account with the school.
- [ ] Another thing I did wrong was that I made a mistake with the document arrangement. Under the part for POF, I merged the screenshots from my school account (1st page) and statement of my savings account. In the section for other documents, I added the statement of my salary account as part of the documents which had about 2m naira in it.

GCMS notes: This was sent exactly 30 days (excluding Canadian public holidays) and it stated that I did not pay school fees and I had only 4000 USD as proof of funds.

This meant that everything uploaded as POF was disregarded or the officer looked at just the first page of what was uploaded and didn’t bother to look through the rest. This is despite stating the amount of fees paid in my LOE.

I didn’t have upfront medicals or police certificate for 1st application

I sent updated LOA via a webform and I got a response weeks later that my records would be sent to the necessary IRCC office in Nairobi for update.

I still sent this again with an updated letter from my company approving a change of the date of my leave of absence. I also clearly stated that I had deferred my admission to the winter session.

I also sent a webform on week 13 and an email on week 15th when nothing changed on my application. For the mail, I immediately got an automated response and another email explaining that they have a backlog. My eligibility started the day after I got the response.

I decided to create this account to share my testimony because this group gave me hope during the waiting time (plus all the gbas gbos made me laugh, but I’m glad we moved past that). I want to encourage everyone waiting not to give up, and keep having faith because with God all things are possible. I joined the Halleluyah challenge and tabled IRCC before God ooo, my response came after the last day of the challenge which was themed VICTORY!.

The last thing I will say ( which is very funny because I thought people were being ridiculous typing it here all the time until IRCC showed me shege) IT WILL END IN PRAISE!!!.

I’ll be active here for another 1 week to answer questions before closing the account. All the best people.

I also typed this in faith around the period that my eligibility review started.
