My concerns where the specifics you gave. That's all. I have read the affidavit. I expect you should know IRCC is not ready to be fully transparent and there are different versions of this processing tool. That means whatever illustrations given in the affidavit is not elaborate enough and some things are redacted. You should already understand where I'm getting at.

As for how I knew my application was chinnoked. I was scanning my notes and saw a phrase saying my app was processed with the aid of chinook 3+ if I remember correctly.

Thank you.

Thanks for your explanation boss. But in my submission above, the starting statement was " Most Study Permit application " . Meaning more than average, above average , certain percentage, not all, " larger numbers ".

We still have applications being processed manually, infact , Canadian Visa offices refused to use the Chinook software.


Will rather love to see the screenshot and how you knew you were chinooked.lolz .

We learn everyday boss. Everyone is currently studying the Chinook app including lawyers .


Also if you can study " Ocran vs Minister of immigration case " at the federal court. You will understand how ircc currently process applications.

The ircc witness who came to defend the Chinook software in his exhibit submitted " Daponte Affidavit " and his cross examination, he explained fully how the software works and how it processes applications. You can also read his cross examination by the applicant's lawyer during the Judicial Review processes. This might take more than 8 hours of your time though.

I wouldn't want to say what you wrote here is wrong. But it's definitely not correct and I'll use myself for example. I got refused and my eligibility at the time I received my notes prior refusal was review required. In my pre-assesment the officer claimed to have verified all my documents including bank statements and Loa and said I was established in Nigeria. My case file was also chinooked as also seen in my second gcms I ordered after refusal. Based on all I've said you see it doesn't accurately tally with what you have described. No one knows exactly how IRCC operates.
Thank you

You don't have to be scared . Most Study Permit application gcms note comes out without pre-assessment note cos of batch processing by Chinook software used by ircc currently. They are doing away with the junior officers. Application gets processed in batches
on Chinook spreadsheet in 50-100 applications per page . So not having a pre-assessment note is not an issue.


If officer can't make decision instantly on your application due to bank statements confirmation, Loa confirmation, documents request etc. He will place your application on "review required" or "recommend interview " . He has 30 -60 days to get back to your file. The documents department will place the requested details on his/her action list after confirmation or your submission.


You will have to mail your visa office to remind them that your file recall is due if you didn't hear from ircc within 60days after the RR got updated.


Here is where paying tuition fee, doing gic, Mybankstatements ticket without lumpsum deposit comes to pay. From the testimonies on this thread, scholarship/funded applicants gets decision faster. Reason I decided to pay full tuition fee and additional 10,000CAD for living expenses. I got med request 10days after my file was re-opened with resubmission and PPR 10 days later. Total of 20 days. There's absolutely nothing the visa officer want to confirm from Bank again.

Based on what you submitted your profile looks good at least financially. When your notes arrive you'll have a better insight on what is going on with your application

No you're not. How many months was your application before you ordered?
Status may have changed now because obviously they aren't finished reviewing your case file as seen in your pre-assesment. Be hopeful. Order again to see the latest stage again.

Pre assessment notes is showing - "further review"

What can you guys make of it?

I'm i in trouble?

International students in Canada have the right to change their program or institution as long as their study permit is valid. This means that you can change the college you are studying in Canada after getting a visa or study permit. You must make sure that you meet all the criteria required by your study permit. This involves studying at a designated learning institution (DLI) and regularly participating in your studies in Canada. Note that your main purpose and activity must be studying, therefore, your study program is required to be a full-time basis.

You will also need to inform (CIC) about the college change. This is done by reporting the federal government through your online account that you have currently changed your post-secondary institution. After signing in your online account, you will need to enter your new college’s DLI number, your student ID number and as well as the date you are going to start your new study program.

In Quebec, the procedure of changing schools or study programs is a bit different. If you want to study in Quebec as an international student, you must have a Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ). Those who are already in Quebec as students, need to submit a new CAQ application to be able to change their educational program, school or institution.

Tcrown2020:
I understand it is better & safer for one to change his Dli after getting his study permit here and after landing in Canada. My questions are these .
1) can I use LOA of eg U ottawa to get a study visa , Land in Canada & before resumption change to another Dli in
A) same Pronince but another uni.
B) change tona Dli college in another province eg Alberta.
Thanks .

Exactly

Iamgrac:
I am sorry if my questions are too much,
So all I need to do is to just get the deed of gift letter, the duration doesn't matter?

You already said it's a gift deed why would you wait a while? Do you want the officer to suspect you for using the funds for demonstration purposes? There's no specific time period funds should stay in an account it's a mistake people make and a trend officers are aware about. They are concerned with the sources of funds. And you already declared the source by saying it's a gift deed!

Iamgrac:
Please can someone give me a reply to this

The tuition estimate on your letter is your actual tuition fees. They probably haven't updated the website. But I know MUN increased tuition. Maybe it's a special fee.

Semtu:
Please is there anyone else here studying or has been offered admission for a MASc degree in Memorial University of Newfoundland?

I just got an offer but the tuition fee written on the offer letter is much different from what is on their website so I am confused.

The total program fee on their website is 10k CAD but 29k CAD is what is written on the offer letter

What were the refusal reasons?

lilangel20:
Hello Guys,
I got a refusal today with full funding and tuition waiver too.

I really need help and advise please.

@makano @lekiboe and all

Please correct your Number 2 data point. Cash in account isn't really an assets?. That literally the foundation of your proof of funds?

Ketima:
Hello SallyK,

So sorry for your refusal. is just a temporary delay. Now as we all know, you need to get your note to know what actually is the VO concern(s) as the reason in the refusal letter is generic.

Now one thing about having huge funds in the account and paying just a deposit is that it will make the VO question the genuineness of the applicants to study or is the fund just for demonstration purposes? Showing you earn 560k monthly, do you have other assets other than the 12million in the account to show that you're well established in your home country? Again, hope your company is a known establishment that will make the VO easily believe such monthly income and not from one SallyK and sons limited? So, you need to tighten all loose ends.

A Vo will believe that an applicant with 2million in account and paid one-year tuition and has assets in form of lands, shares, other properties is more established and will likely return back home than you who have all the millions but not established. which can easily tell him/her you don't plan to be established in your home country.

So my opinion is

1). Pay the entire one-year tuition to show that the money is yours and is meant for studies ( as the money is just floating back and forth between your account and mutual funds).
2). Show some assets in your name, not just huge money ( in this immigration process, cash in account isn't really an ASSET per se but Assets is cash in the making). This will go a long way to show you're well established and have what will likely bring you back home.

Again, as the funds keep moving between mutual funds and your account, I would like you to trace it back to the origin of the money movement from your account to a mutual fund and diligently explain it in your LOE to prove that the money is truly yours and also explain why you like keeping it in mutual funds. Why I said this is, people can borrow funds from people who do not like their money to be idle. So as not to keep their money idle, they send it to mutual funds so that it will be growing. Now once the visa application is approved, the fund is reversed and sent back to the owner.

So while you wait for your note, be your VO and begin now to draft your LOE and start also to get documents you may need to tackle the concerns.
But then, if the note comes out and you feel the refusal reason isn't justifiable, you may seek JR if you can afford it.

All the best.

Amen. When did you reapply Tee?

Teemenzo:
Grace will find me in this thread in Jesus name.

You should have done a GIC. help confirms that the sponsor will go to any length to demonstrate his commitments. Making transfers alone might not cut it.

Paying tuition is not a prerequisites for approval but I believe it's a good step.

Your program. does it last for one year or two? depending the officer might still have some concerns if you didn't demonstrate where the funds for subsequent year will come from with verifiable proof. Remember it's not about have hooge funds it's by verifying these funds bad making sure it's accessible to you.

It might even be that you didn't demonstrate the cordial relationship to the extent the VO is convinced so thus the reasons he gave.

Other times it's just the mistake of the VO. Some refusals are illogical it's either you reapply or JR?

BolaT53:
Hi Ketima,

I honestly don’t understand what the VO mean when they say sufficiently/availability. In my situation my sponsor paid my one year full tuition, transferred my living expenses to me, booked a return flight ticket for me. I as the applicant had about 1.5m my personal funds and my sponsors statement was about 40million no lump sum. But my visa was refused based on he has concerns on if the funds will be sufficiently available for me throughout my program. What do you think went wrong in my application.

The officer has concerns that your funds will be enough for the whole course maybe you didn't prove sources for subsequent source of funds.

Hubmon360:
Hello fam my gcms note just arrived. I applied since the 22nd of September, on it is the reason for my delay. I would appreciate any suggestions given on how to tackle this issue. Thanks. Gurus in the house I am loyal.

Mine took 3 months

Freshestc:
Mine Took 6 days but I think it's usually 5-10 working days.

Mudi, during these period of waiting. You didn't order your notes!

mudiwest:
Amen

Then wait till it's possible. You've been rejected twice. It's gets harder from there. If you like have 500 billion if you don't show commitment you'll get the same reply. Please don't let these officers keep rejecting you. Let there be a significant change from what you did the last time.

Fawaz12345:
The no 1 can’t be possible now cause it’s not available now, but I can submit a lot of assets.
And Transfer the funds I’m going to show to my account from my dads account(sponsor)

@Justmellow already gave similar guidelines. 1.Pay your first year school fees.
2.Provide Documentation to assure the VO you're parents will be able to fund your living expenses and tuition even after your first year. 3.Draft a SOP that will demonstrate your interests in the program you're going for so as to solidify your purpose of visit.
4.Also expound about your hometies and family ties to just solidify your candidature all round.

Fawaz12345:
Hello Everybody where are my professional, so I’ve been denied Canada visa twice now and I’m about to apply for the third time and I don’t want to make any mistake now please kindly guide me
Please Check the attachment for my two denial letter and gcms note
I showed 10m
My dad is my sponsor

Use your discretion brotherly. I understand your POV tho. It is well, carry on.

Peace

Fawaz12345:
The thing is that there is actually money but it’s not available now.
My mum makes a contribution called AJO
She contributes 3 million every month for a year which she later collects 50 million I think.
So she’s going to collect the funds in June but now it’s not available and I don’t think ircc will understand that

A moniker once mentioned that there's a possibility this thread is being monitored by IRCC. Talking about borrowed funds knowing full well that it's not acceptable. Any sensible person here wouldn't advice you to borrow funds. I remember once when abingwa on youtube also mentioned that IRCC delayed him for 6 months before giving him a visa and on the 6th month they requested an updated bank statement. According to him they suspect he borrowed these funds. Maybe this is even one of the reasons our applications are taking so long in general. Who knows?. In any case if you decide to use funds just keep these points I've stated in mind.

Fawaz12345:
Hey guys so this proof of funds is becoming a problem for me. Can I use borrowed funds for the application which will later be removed after printing mbs ? But I’ll show evidence that the money is for some goods bought from us. And the account is very familiar with lump sum, my dad is into steel and iron rod and other stuffs.
And have you seen anybody approved with lump sum?

I’m talking of like 20m

Yes it's a positive sign. Congratulations in advance

GbemiBukk:
Good morning to you all on here. I have been a silent reader on here. And I must commend you all for your contribution.
Please I would appreciate if my questions can be answer. I am a may applicant and sometimes September I received a correspondence letter and last week I received a request letter to upload a renew passport as I have less than 6months now on my passport.
Is this a positive sign as the request letter came after the correspondence letter?
Thank you all as I will be in the comment section

You can apply when you want as far you can explain the source of the funds with valid Documentation. People who wait six months may want to avoid the trouble of explaining funds as it makes the application more complex. As we know simple applications are more likely to be approved. It's down to you.

Bankkydarry:
Dear nairalanders, Good morning and happy Sunday. I want to know how this canadian proof of fund works, I have a sibling who wants to sponsor me but the amount needed for the sponsor will only be complete by month end. Can I apply for the visa immediately it is complete or I will have to wait for about 6 months to show his Banking history before I apply?

I also want to ask if one can have co-sponsors.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

Your congratulations are in order. Be patient it'll drop soon.

Andytheo:

Biometrics done/updated: July 14th
Medical request: September 30th
Medicals done: October 21st
Medicals passed: October 26th
Eligibility review started: October 26th

I haven't gotten an update for more than 3 weeks since I passed my medicals and eligibility review. My program (PGCert) is to start by January and I'm getting worried.

I have raised two webforms complaining about the delay, one 2 weeks ago, the second last week, but no response.

I hear a final decision is made shortly after medicals is passed and eligibility review starts.

Please guys what's your advice?

A decision has already been made on your application. Congratulations in advance.
No knows the outcome but I believe it's positive for you.
You don't need the slip just attach the BVL you just got with the documents you'll send later to abuja. I'm hoping you know the requirements already and the fees to be paid.

Hopefully you'll come back here and we congratulate you properly.

LadyIE:
Good day house. After waiting for several months for PPR, correspondence letter (BVL) drops with no Final decision attached. what does this mean please? Has anyone experienced this? Are the outcomes usually positive? What are your advice also?
Also my biometric slip was done in Lagos and the slip is missing. What do I do if I send my passport to Abuja to get the visa stamped on it. Thank you

Lmao. The person that wrote this SOP just dey para. Was just writing anything that came to mind.

Fawaz12345:

I believe there are certain vaccines that are I'm unsure if AstraZeneca is a part. Do your due diligence and do some research.

Ceas0001:
Are you saying you won't be allowed if you take any vaccine aside that. Please I need clarification. I took AstraZeneca.

johnson and johnson vaccine is the only vaccine you can take only one shot for unlike the others. I'll advise you take it if available

peruxie:
Good evening guys, which of the vaccines would be adviceable to take for entering into Canada?
