If you're truly trying to liquidate one of your assets and use the proceeds thereof as POF, there is no problem.

The problem is if the officer is swayed by this. You have to prove that you will use the funds generated towards your study as they can only analyze the origin of these funds via evidence of sale to which is difficult to verify from CA.

You will need to show commitments by paying your first semester or First year tuition from the funds and/or buy a GIC.
This further proves you're bona fide and truly dedicated financially to this endeavor.

You can use your other properties, family, societal bodies/groups, and business as ties to your home-country.

After submission you will receive a mail in a day or at most a week. Login to you portal and you'll find a biometric instruction letter that you'll take along to enroll for biometrics at VFS

No need to submit any hard copy of anything else your biometrics letter,2 copies of your international passport, appointment letter, your intentional passport.

When you're ready to go for your enrollment.

Read the pre-assesment part. The LES noted that the income isn't commensurate with what in the bank statement. There are inconsistencies with the financial documents you've submitted. Hence, your funds are insufficient.

Chefbella:
Hello good people,

I recently received my gcms notes, please someone should help me interpret I applied since November although it looks like a final decision has not been made.

During my application I submitted my bank statement mbs as well as my father's own but his 12 months mbs and CAC of business (real estate) I later sent two more bank statements as to show more funds in my application through webform.

Anyone with similar experiences? Your contribution is appreciated.

Have you contacted IRCC?(Lagos and Abuja Office via mail).
Did you get a biometric instructions letter?

There must have been a reason your appointment wasn't acknowledged by VFS.

Good day all,
Please in a situation whereby appointment for biometrics was booked twice by one applicant. What is the best way to be attended to by vfs for biometrics?
As the applicant was not attended to on the scheduled date to be captured and was told they would have to contact IRCC before she can be captured, as a result of her booking twice.
It's been over a months now and no feedback has been gotten. Several webforms has also been raised.
Is it advisable to just withdraw the application and reapply again or just wait for a feedback from IRCC @makano @omiinii @frankrobbn1 @anon123 @destinationcann @centennialguy

Good Morning , please I like to know the chances of this person (currently living in Nigeria) getting a Canada student visa :

1. The person's highest education is a Masters degree from a Nigerian School
2. Got admission into a Canadian school to study a graduate diploma in a course that is non-related to either first degree (B.sc) or second degree (M.sc).
3. Considering 1 and 2 above, should the person go ahead to pay the admission acceptance fee?

If you have enough funds to cover for the expenses of you and your family through the duration of your stay in Canada and can also demonstrate that you have solid ties that can bring you back home after completion of your program, I believe you have a chance at securing visas for the whole family.

However, you have a higher chance if you apply alone. Upon your arrival in Canada your family can apply to join you.

Yes you can explain this lump sum and use the necessary documents as evidence of the sale.

I'll advise you pay your first year tuition from this amount so it'll prove to the officer that your sponsor is willing to commit to your education.

If one obtains a new LOA from the DLI that they used to get TRV, won’t they need to update the IRCC before traveling?

You're not banned my friend.
When you revoke your GCKey, you will not be able to use it for any Government of Canada service.

Your GCKey can't be recovered. To gain access to your account again, you would have to submit a new portal enrolment application. You should indicate that you've previously had an account.

Goodluck. God bless

You can't use the LOA from a DLI different from the one submitted in your initial application. Since you've been approved kindly reapply to the same DLI you used for your visa. Obtain a new LOA and travel. If you want to change schools you can do that from inside Canada...

Please, This information is partly correct or not correct at all. I read the persons testimony and no where did he explicitly say Crypto is acceptable source of income or he used crypto to prove his income.

He tendered his futures trading account and trading history via binance. He showed proof of the proceeds and the transfer from his trading account to his normal bank account. This was the major takeaway from his antecode amongst other things he did to prove he account earned the profits.

He didn't use an investment in crypto as evidence of source of funds.

The image attached confirms my claims. That's IRCC's take on cryptocurrency.

@eniola1010 since you're into forex, you can show evidence of your earnings at least for the past six months. Highlight the transfer of profits to your bank account and hope for the best.

Other gurus can weigh in and correct me if I'm mistaken.

Goodluck. God bless

From what was explained. This is what my little brain understands.

1.) @Shadesbyespoir International students can now use online study taken until August 31, 2022 toward their PGWP eligibility.

2.) You've completed your program, therefore I believe that if your study programs is with an eligible Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and meet other PGWP requirements. You're good to go(I'm assuming your goal is PR so this is a necessary step to that)

3.) However, because it's a joint masters degree program. I have some uncertainties.
It's is mandatory that the shortest length a program may be is eight months. But IRCC stance on Canadian study programs with an overseas component states that: If your study program has an overseas component, you may be eligible for a PGWP as long as you earn a credit from a Canadian school for it. The PGWP will only be valid for the length of the time you studied in Canada so I believe regardless of the bolded in this paragraph you are still eligibility for a 1 year PGWP.

4.) So with your 2 months visa it's imperative you act quick. you can either go to CA and apply for PGWP or possibly apply for another program and extend. But I think you have to physically be in Canada to do that.

Let other gurus weigh in as well.

Goodluck God bless

DestinationCann:
What you got on your passport simply means you have to enter Canada within 2 months.

You're right. However IRCC doesn't put that into consideration when evaluating your app. It's not even compulsory. It's just a way to increase your odds of approval. That's if your financially buoyant. That's how you prove you truly own the funds in your account. Show undeniably commitments.

ActivatedDreams:
Since the money you will use to fund your GIC is aboki dollar which would be high, I think just leaving your naira in your bank account is sufficient for living expenses after paying your tuition fee.

Financially, I believe you'll be well off if Full tuition is paid and &10k GIC is bought. Prove funds for subsequent years(if there is) and address other aspects of your application and your visa issuance is highly probable.

It's unfortunate what's going on with ASUU. I'd advise you finish your program then apply for a post graduate program. I'm saying so because there'll be close to a four year gap in your academic profile and that could pose a problem in the evaluation of your application.

However if age is on your side, you can apply to schools without your first degree. With a well detailed study plan you'll be fine in my books.

There are also various factors to consider. You can shoot me a mail so we can discuss about your situation in detail.
