I will explain this further for the benefit of someone who wants to learn, I have 2 close relations who applied inside canada the first one applied as a visitor and applied herself and when applying she choose applying from inside Canada she was denied because she indicated she is applying from inside Canadathat was indicated by ircc instead of choosing applying from outside Canada even though the applicant was in Canada .

The second applicant while applying choose applying from outside Canada and visa was approved .Note that,they both applied from Canada as visitors

I hope you understand my explanation.


josephb:
It is not confusing to me, maybe to you, on the Canadian Visitor's thread we have seen couple of people who did and got their Study Permit mailed to them.

I don't want to argue this any further, let the person try whatever he feels right for him.

Well,I am not here to argue,but it seems the terms applying inside Canada and outside Canada is confusing to you,you should get more Information on that then you will have an understanding of what I explained.


josephb:
This is not true, the guy is right, you just need to research more so you can know more.

When a person applies for study permit inside Canada,it means the applicant is a PR holder or Canadian citizen, as a visitor you cannot choose applying from inside Canada you have to choose applying from outside Canada when you want to start your application, though you are visiting but you have to choose applying from outside Canada.


don4real:
This is not true. I got someone who is stidying in Canada but went with visitor visa. He applied for student permit inside canada

The 48hrs does not matter just submit your form A application, when your form A is approved, PayMyTuition may need you to create a new invoice by then.Below is an example of the mai you may receive from PayMyTuition after they receive the funds.



Please note that you are to create a new transaction every time you send funds because each payment needs a unique reference ID in order to be processed. Once we see the transaction, we will be able to proceed with processing the funds.

saucekid50:


But they give just 48hours for the transaction

Congratulations to your sister,and thank you for sharing this, your testimony lifted my spirit.



Adwoa816:
Good evening my honorable colleagues. I feel I have to share this testimony to encourage everyone who has an ungoing TRV which is either delayed or even rejected.

I submitted a TRV application for my sister on 22nd May,2022 for fall 2022 admission at Conestoga. Her program was a one year postgraduate certificate. Fast forward we did not get any update from IRCC . I therefore sent a number of GC notes request to IRCC but to no avail.
In November 2022, I forwarded a request to withdraw the TRV application but still there was no response from IRCC. So we just forgot about Canada and further declined her admission at Conestoga.
Surprisingly on 13th February,2023, She had a request for her medicals. We just couldn't believe it. After, the medicals, we had a request letter for an updated admission letter. We quickly reapplied for another program and God been so good we had the admission in four days time. We submitted this new admission letter and on the 1st of March ,2023, we had a PPR.
It took almost a year for a TRV application to be approved. This can just be the doing the Lord.
No matter your situation here, never give up and keep trusting God for a miracle and he will definitely come through for you.

Generate invoice from pay my tuition or send an email to pay my tuition to give you an Invoice for bank transfer payment. You will have all the details in the invoice.


Are you trying to pay for school fees or deposit fee?

Please I do not understand you at all, you posted you got SP in 2018 and sometime in 2021, you posted that you were denied, and then posted that you were approved in 2022 again and asking how to send your passport, so which application was refused in 2023 again? Why are you getting approval and refusal at the same time
This is not fair, people genuinely come here to seek and provide help, but when one person sits somewhere to spoof the thread thinking they have an anonymous identity, they should be careful. Please pull down your post!!!!

Na wa o,in 2018 you sent a story of how you landed in canada, in 2021 you were denied visa,in 2022 you got your visa approved ,now a denial again in 2023?Which one we do we believe?

By now you supposed don get PR now lol.


Dorisdili:
Hi everyone. I got denied again the second time. Please see screenshot attached for the reason.

The first denial was due to ties in Nigeria and Canada as I have siblings in Canada. Also, the purpose of visit as I used a diploma course to apply and not post graduate. I ordered gcms note and the officer added that I am single and mobile and is not convinced I will leave Canada at the end of my stay, the officer also wrote that the program is not in line with my career path as I have a first degree in English and I was going for Health care Admin. I choose this course because I have work experience working as an admin in a clinic. My sponsor was my Dad at the time, I paid first semester and closing balance was about 34million

I took my time and read through nairaland, I reapplied for a post graduate health care administration and I eventually got married along the line.

This time I applied with a post graduate admission, used my husband as sponsor and my dad as co-sponsor. Husbands statement was 27 million, my personal account was 17million, my dad's statement was 34million, I paid first semester tuition and in my statement of purpose, I explained how the course will be beneficial to me and the family business as my husband is a Doctor and he owns a private clinic, as how I have experience working as an admin but I wanted to improve on my skillset in order to revamp our family business - the clinic. I added my husband's land documents, my land document and my dads land document, I added my husband's business registration and clinic documents, I added my dad's business documents as well. I also added my shares documents. I also added sponsor letters from both sponsors stating willingness to remain sponsors.

I am not sure what I did wrong this time to get finance and assets as a reason for denial as I used the same assets as the last application (dads land, statement) in addition to my land and husband's land documents and statement. I am the only one traveling as well. Someone please help. Thank you

To refund a ticket,it depends on the rules of the ticket it is not only qatar airline that refunds a ticket,If the ticket is refundable after departure then you can contact where you issued the ticket and ask for a refund,after you have cancelled your return leg so it does not enter a no show.However,partly used ticket,the refund value might not be that much.

During my journey, this is what I noticed ---
Start and End with prayers, because only God can give you the strength for this process.

Do your own research, watch a lot of videos on youtube and read different forums.

We can all do this application ourselves, but please use an agent if you're not well-versed in the process. To avoid mistakes.

Don't pick an agent that doesn't have your time. Ask questions, and Pick his/her brain. From your little research of the process, you will be able to find out if the agent knows his onions.

Write your SOP yourself Please. Only you can tell your story. If you're using an agent tell him your story truthfully so that he can advise you. If you're not using an agent find someone on this platform to talk to and polish your SOP and Story. Agents don't usually write SOPs sef.

Form A access has been hard recently but please don't give out money to just anyone to help you fast-track the process. Always use a banker you can hold. Don't pay anyone money you meet online. The heart of Man is wicked.

My agent was wonderful, stayed and prayed with me throughout the process.

Now start to Exercise Patience! Build your shield.

PRAYYYYY!!!!

My experience was crazy ...... 27 weeks no be beans. I was sending web forms every day and the replies were generic. I sent mails to MP, PRIME MINISTER, MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION, and EVERYBODY FOR OVER 13 WEEKS BEFORE I RECEIVED PPR TODAY.

I left Nairaland for some time for my mental health but today I'm back with Joy. Thanks to everyone here, I made friends & family here.

Please anyone can reach out to me anytime for any form of guidance.

Peace

Application for Family of 5 with notification of 6 travellers viz:
Father - PA: Study visa
Mother - SOWP
Child 1 - Study visa, Child 2 - Study visa, Child 4 - visitor visa. Accompanying child 3 - US Citizen to apply study permit within canada

Application submitted April 30th 2022

Eligibility commenced July 5th - 11th (based on MP feedback) Eligibility updated on CIC portal- Aug. 3rd. 2022
Study program - 16 months Masters (course based) UNB
PPR - X5 for all family applicants 24th Aug. 2022

Docs. submitted
All IMM forms
SOP - 13 pages long. paragraphed with subheads to address all eligibility review criteria as itemised in the IRCC portal and school immigration support port. (paid particular attention to why i am travelling with all family - argument based mostly on need to keep the family as a single well & tighty bonded unit, and potential damage to spouse & kids emotionally & mentally should the unit be seperated, since father is major provider, there is need for family to be with him for effective care & nuturing rather than remote attention etc.) family have taken multiple trips together (note also, wifey have a Canada Visitor Visa issued in Jan 2020 pre-covid which she did not use - i explained that since the covid restrictions she prefered to travel with her family and not to vacation alone anymore, added and explained all bills were paid for Child 3 US citizenship birthing. Employer approved unpaid study leave but i highlighted 100% re-absorption rate after studies on return back to active service.. .... and other plenty arguments i cant list here.

- Employer intro letter, pay stubs, emoluments, study leave (witout pay) approval letter

- 1 year MBS (salary account, personal savings account [naira / USD], spouse USD account, spouse naira savings account)

- POF: total CAD$80,000.00 living expense + tuition... Paid over 95% program Tuition fee (note that to secure my POF, i had my colleague recieve money from an extern unconnected support to pay the full tuition while i keep my own personal monies as POF for living expenses)

- explained lump sums: explain all lump sums payment into the account over the 1 year period. Note that my personal Naira account balance was N3,000+/- only as at 1 week to application. but my employer paid in over N13million which i explained as project funds returns with evidence. Spouse had incrasing savings of over US$20,000.00 in her personal account which i converted to Naira at black market rate (with explaination of our forex constraints) and converted to CAD$ at CBN rate (CAD1 - N325) based on policy for school living expense in order to increase the CAD$ POF statements.

- LOE: 8 pages where i detailed my US born child 3, attaching all his birthin receipts with zero balances to demonstrate non-indebtedness to the US government, explained other documented evidence attachments which could be included in the SOP due to 4MB limit & doc. legibility following compression, explaination of hometies with evidence of property valuation, child waitlisted primary school study, etc. lots of others i can not detail here.

* 1 week after application submission, i started firing emails to nairobi office & webforms (info gotten here from gurus... thanks again) requesting to update upfront medicals which they started updating kids one by one from 11th May.

* 4 weeks after application submission, i fired request for GCMS notes which haven't returned till today becuase it was delayed.

* 6 weeks after application submission, identified MPs within NB (info gotten from gurus... thanks again), and couple ignored, one rejected, one promised to get back but didnt, one replied and assisted in getting feedback from IRCC to reply after 2 weeks. replied after 3 weeks informing of application under eligibility review (that is 2nd week of July).

* 8 weeks after application submission, started firing emails and webforms to Nairobi, London, abuja, lagos, china, (info gotten from gurus... thanks again) 3 mails & webforms to each location per day requesting application status & decision.... no response or auto response.

* 12 weeks after application submission, Nairobi replied auto response to emails.... IRCC replied all webforms at once that applications under review

* 16 weeks after application submission, continued firing email & webforms, 1 each per day 2 times a week to Nairobi praying for consideration due to family size and close study resumption date.

* 16 weeks after application submission, Nairobi replied that application under review

* 17 weeks after application submission, Nairobi replied email that application in queue for processing _ (entered panic mode why queue matter again... lol) with notation that continued mailing their office won't lead to an expedited processing. fear catch me, i stopped emailing.

* Contacted school to request online study when semester starts in sept. 2022 as i cannot force IRCC hand again and not continue panicking myself (lemme not lie, i even tried to psyche myself away from reading successes and checking portal every hour but for where e no work...i dey sleep for NL and log in CIC portal every hour... lol).

* Today (24th Aug 2022) was forming tough guy not look check portal and NL, was in a meeting and decided to distracted myself from the long discussions, looked in my Gmail and behold, the "donotreply" mail... BP shot up, breathing held, tension raised, ... logged in portal, went straight to check Child 4 (youngest) account, and beholded, application approved... that is when i smiled and gatthered the liver to go and check wifey SOWP and other....

Meehn, the feeling of ecstacy is unspeakable, i swear....

I bid all of us, particularly 2Pretty4u, Kiari, Charitojames et al positive decisions from IRCC..

we will all meet there

thank you so much Fam. i was reading this NL thread more than 4 months before i applied and made changes based on lessons learned gatthered here.

Make i gather our passport go drop for VAC tomorrow.

Please what is the name of your school?


Ojb555666:
"Good morning,

 

I was able to request an update from the IRCC on your study permit application this morning while in a meeting with an agent. The following information is what I was able to find out:

The criminality portion or the application is completed,
The medicals are passed,
The biometrics are passed,
The eligibility portion was flagged as non routine, this means that additional review is required and they may or may not reach out to you to provide them with additional information or clarification
Because there is a portion of the application deemed ‘non routine’, there is no estimated processing time available
The email you sent on Oct 31st, asking for update has been received and added to the application file, but the office has not yet responded. Now that this update has been sought out, it is unlikely that they will respond to that email given they would be providing you with the same information that I have here today.
 

I hope that this information provides you with some clarification in terms of where your application sits in the processing stage. It is not uncommon for various portions of the application to be flagged as ‘non routine’ or requiring additional review – I wouldn’t worry too much about this.

 

At this point, there is not much you can do other than be patient in awaiting the finalization of the application.

 

In the meantime, I recommend that you continue to check your emails and other means of correspondence with the IRCC to remain up to date on your application status."


The above is the response I got from an MP,
My application is now 5months, no eligibility up till now, have sent several emails and web forms, yet nothing.
What do I do my people?
My school resumes January and no deferral nor online study option.

Your sister does not need to apply for her children,she is only paying for herself.American citizens do not apply for visa to Canadian embassy.She can just metion in her SOP that she will travel with them,attach their US passsports too and also indicate in the form when filling.When she get her study permit,at the airport the children will be given study permit.


Dollarsolution:
Dear Gurus in the house.
Please i have a question. my sister got admission and about to apply for visa. She has two kids. both american citizen (by birth though all in Nigeria presently). The last born does not have a Nigerian passport yet but done and she was told it might take some time before she gets the babys Nigerian passport. She is press in time and want to apply ASAP .
Question is can she apply for the study permit with the united state passport for them or what other option is available. though i was also thinking since usa citizen can go into canada for 6mth without visa probably she can just do hers and when she gets to canada and also whe she has gotten their passport she can then apply for student permit for them in canada. Please any guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks

I made up my mind and started the journey in May 2022, got admission 3 weeks into the month and came to Nairaland for visa application advice. I went through several threads before arriving at thread 21 and I was immediately discouraged with the documents I saw people packaging. People had landed properties, business/personal/sponsors accounts with tens/hundreds of millions as turnover and balance, gift deeds here and there, affidavits of different kinds, scholarships etc, so I spent the entire June gathering the documents I could.
I had over 30 supporting documents so shrinking it to 2mb was no child's play. I eventually did and uploaded without checking it. I checked afterwards and realized that [/b]half of documents were blurry and unreadable[b], I almost died lol. I just left everything. I'm not a spiricoco person but I don't doubt the God factor so I prayed the little I could every morning till PPR dropped.
My take away:
Your documents and packaging are important but at the end it's God so don't get carried away with self confidence and don't be discouraged as well, put in your best and leave the rest to God.
I had up to 15 SOP drafts till I couldn't draft any more and used the last one to apply so don't underestimate the power of your SOP and do a good job with it.
My POF didn't cover my total duration so I ensured that I explained that subsequent years would not be a problem while quoting their minimum requirement on IRCC website.

How do I submit my passport, please help.
