Hi. Urgent help, asking for a friend.

She applied to conestoga PGC Project mgt, to resume Sept 5th. For admission, acceptance $1500 paid
Visa was approved August 8th. However 1st semester tuition was only paid Aug 28th & 29th.
Unfortunately, post has admissions revoked her enrollment (admission), and after sending an email requesting for reinstatement, she's being advised to either defer or sell refund.

Please help advise how she can please her case for reinstatement to resume this Sept semester as tickets had been bought.

Anyone with experience on similar issue before? How did you resolve it?

Ejoor my peeps.

Look for somebody to help you buy it from Canada.

Send the equivalent using Remitly.

You wont spend half of that money.

Ticket for August, September is so costly. We paid 5.7m for I and 3 years old baby. For no layover in US or UK. Its the ones that need transit visa that's cheap. Unless you move your date to like 2 months later o

Hi,

Please, I would appreciate advice from the gurus on the usage of 2 sources as POF,

1. Employer - Using my employer's statement of account and additional documents

2. A lump sum from a relative and supporting it with a gift deed.

I would appreciate any insight into if this can raise any red flags

Your driver's license shows date of first issue.

Unless you did "oluwole" own and it shows that this is your first issue..lol

Your license is valid for as long as you are a student. And should you want to convert to using the province's license, you simply take the tests, pass and go straight to unrestricted license issuance.

While am not tagged for this I‘ll make an attempt to answer this.

Even if you satisfy case number one which you can do easily by having your brother transfer money to you and doing a gift deed to explain that, number two will make it almost impossible for you to explain you will return. Simple reason is strong ties in Canada. Having mentioned that you can also easily explain that. PM and I’ll tell you what to put in your letter of explanation.

I dont see the logic in that.

If you are the owner of the company, and a sole proprietor, that simply means that you have the financial capability and access to the funds. The REASONABLE thing to do is liquidate the required funds into your personal account and facilitate your application as a self sponsor. You cannot be a sole proprietor of a company and that same company is sponsoring you in your international studies. I am not a financial auditor but i think that is borderline unethical.

Bare in mind that, if you boost financial capability to be a sole owner which can sponsor int'l education, then you know that it will be an expectation to demonstrate commitment and confidence by paying significant portion of your tuition so it doesnt look like you are just packaging finances for visa purposes. In addition, your account history should show relatively huge deposits and withdrawals as per commensurate spending attributes. You cannot claim to be a company owner using the organisation as sponsor and your PERSONAL account history 10k and 100k spending.

See these PoF of a thing has a lot of passive criteria they use to validate the claims, mostly when us Nigerians are involved.
N200million as bank balance for company account with CAC claims wouldn't just cut it.

PS: Your study venture is a PERSONAL EXPENSE hence should be facilitated by your personal fund (whether you moved it from your company or anywhere. It should be in your personal account. You only use your company account and business transactions to demonstrate source of funds) There is a difference between PoF and Source of Funds

you get my drift?

skentelelady:


Are you saying it is not write to use your company's account as POF even if you are the sole signatory to it??

I am using my business account to because that's where my income comes from. Then my personal account for personal/running expenses.

I hope this is a right move?

There lies your problem i think.

simple logical reason posits that you require at least N11.5million to fund your one year educantion venture + another N2million for flights. Now you are submitting a company as your sponsor, if you say you are the owner of the company why do you need YOUR OWN COMPANY TO SPONSOR YOU? If you are an employee of the company, why will they be consuming almost 70% of their financial capability to sponsor ONLY YOU for your study?

The above DOES NOT DEMONSTRATE REASONABLE EXPENSE. And do no forget to articulate the 3rd party sponsorship flag while you are at it.

You may wanna address that.

UBA sent a mail last month or so, they no longer give cash. Its now in a debit card like Access does.

Curious. Did your wife gain her visa with or without full declaration as your spouse? (If she didnt declare you, asuming that she acquired the visa after the ban was in force [unless she got the visa before the ban or before she met / entered into legal partnership with you])

With your UK 10 year ban still in play, you still went ahead and used a wishy-washee visa agent (representative) again?

Now that you are seeing that Canada channel is fasting closing up and becoming most difficult, how do you want to approach the UK delima with the 10 year ban still fresh? I (and others i think) will really like to learn what your solution idea is.

SoftdudeKay:


Trust me, I am not sleeping truly. I haven’t slept up to 20hrs since I received this letter on Saturday.

Now this is the issue here: I already have UK ban due to an agent’s stupidity. I applied for a visit visa in 2019 and submitted my original bank statement but guess what? The bastard went to fudge a statement which I didn’t know about, it resulted to UK giving me 10 years ban and this year’s December would make it 3 years. And due to my own stupidity, I trusted another agent with the visit visa to Canada in 2020 and the application fee was reversed back to him and I didn’t know about it until now. Now that this my current study application that I did by myself is about to work out, but that silly error on the 2020 application is about to ruin my chance and a possible ban too. My wife would be relocating to the UK next week Thursday (exactly a week today) as a registered nurse, we haven’t been able to have a good time together since I received this procedural fairness letter.

I look at my wife that we just got married last month and I want to express my feelings on how much I would miss her but damn!!! Something inside of me is killing me so badly that I can’t even express my feelings and our excitement for her new job in the UK and her departure is affected as a family, obviously my laughter and smiles are forced and unreal because I’m hurting inside and she knows. We now have to start looking at UK for me again.

God please, I come before you with Matthew 7:7-8 that says, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”

Please, wipe our tears and answer all our prayers, open the doors of Canada to us all on this platform through Jesus Christ your only son. AMEN

i think we just need a dose of the ugly truth here.

right there on the IRCC portal and even in the forms your filled, there is a line where they ask you to give a disclaimer if you have a representative and if anybody helped you in filling out your forms.

I think as adults, we need to take responsiblity for our actions regardless whether we are ignorant or yet. Before embarking on a venture such as this, you are supposed to research and know the critical requirements, hence if you decided to flaunt the rules, then it is your own cup of tea. Screaming I did not know, na representative / agent do am, it is all in your name, it is you records that will be soiled.

They are going to use you as an example to deter others.

You won't believe me I still get emails, asking for ideas how to fake PoF, as if i help folks for visa walaha...

bepositive11:


It looks like the guy intentionally reversed the payment and he intentionally wanted to scam IRCC.

I think you should just apologise profusely, say that you weren't aware of the reversal, and attach proof of the new payment. You could also attach proof of the payment for your student visa application and ask them to let you know if there was a reversal for that as well (even though you know that there wasn't).

You may also want to get in touch with someone who has dealt with an issue like this before. Maybe try contacting an immigration lawyer. You can also try posting your question on reddit.com/r/ImmigrationCanada and canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board to get different advice, then decide for yourself.

Most of those so called "agents" out there are basically "hungry" folks looking for quick bucks.

How much is application fee that the oloshi had to request a refund simply because there was no feedback from IRCC and if i recall, they instructed applicants to reapply from a certain period. Sometime, we need to learn say, no be every opportunity to say "no i no wan do again" naim we go take.

I had a visitor visa for 3 which was applied in Nov. 2020 as well, but when i saw the broadcast message on media to withdraw and reapply i just left the thing. It is still stuck like that till date.

That your agent is an hungry duck who have put you in problem now.

You may just have to explain the situation with evidence that your representative executed that action without your consent. I assume you are managing this application yourself, and if this is the case, use the change in approach of processing your visa application as a case in point to drive home your position.

Good speed with the response though.

SoftdudeKay:
Good afternoon guys. Please I need urgent assistance and advice.

I applied for tourist visa in March 2020 (before the lockdown) through an agent, and there was no update on the application. So, I applied for study visa in July this year by myself. I have been waiting to get response from the IRCC and I just got a response today, saying that my previous application there was a request from me (that’s my agent) to my bank that the application fee should be refunded. Now I have to provide valid point and documents within 15 days as to why I requested for the refund and I need to pay the $185CAD. The payment isn’t the problem, but I contacted the agent and obviously, he knows about it but claimed he didn’t make the payment from his card, that someone else made the payment for him, and he’s not been able to reach the person.

This is the only thing holding my application back and if I can’t justify and clear this, it’s a 5 year ban.

Please, how do I go about this?
