TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 18 by Onweke: 4:28pm On Feb 07, 2021
Are you applying for undergraduate course?. Its not required for MSC/PGC.

EyinjuGod:
Good afternoon people, please for those who got admission into Cape Breton University, did you upload your waec serial number and PIN, I could see it as part of the requirement for Nigeria but I can't figure where to include it in my application.

Proposed Course is business analytics

Congrats. I was waiting for your testimony. God is indeed great !!.

So you did not pay any tuition at all?. Did you submit first semester tuition to IRCC ?

Yes oooo thank you sis am making my payment immediately you will also testify!!!

Well said !!!
Conclusion of the whole matter.

fratermathy:
Concerning the refusal of qualified applicants, there are other factors that one should consider apart from sheer mistakes on the part of the VO. I've started to realize that Canada allocates a limited number of study permits every year. It's a technique they use in controlling immigration to Canada. Just as there are PR limitations (i.e. They may issue a specific number of PR visas each year and every country gets a certain quota of that), so too do they restrict the number of study permit approvals. Apart from this, they also give higher quotas to more populated countries and they favour those from certain countries too.

Beyond the politics of quota, they also aim to evenly distribute international students across the nation. The implication of this is that those applying to study in Ontario are bound to have more issues than those applying to study in Manitoba. If they allow every student to study in just one province, that won't be good for the economy of the other provinces.

Furthermore, they assign specific quotas for students applying to study in colleges, and at various levels in Universities. This is why PhD students may likely get better approval rates than those applying for a Masters (because there are fewer PhD applicants). The higher you go in the academic ladder, the easier it becomes to get the permit (especially if there is a logical progression in your career).

Another factor is that in some countries, like Nigeria, applicants submit fake documents. This adds to an overall suspicion of everyone's application. In a bid to verify documents, the VOs can misjudge the real facts of the matter. Sometimes, because of the high number of applications, they won't have the patience to do in-depth verifications and will simply reject the applicant so that his/her next application would clear those doubts.

Note that what I've said are based on my personal observation of the process. The lessons to learn from these are:

1. Submit your application for a study permit as early as possible. Don't wait till the last minute before you do so. It may backfire.

2. Apply to study in other provinces like Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, North West Territories, etc. It shouldn't always be in Ontario.

3. As much as possible, apply to programmes that are logically cognate with your previous educational or work experience.

4. Save the VOs the stress of verification and submit authentic documents. Some VOs can know if a document has been tampered with via Photoshop or other apps. Others see certain documents frequently and can easily detect if something is awkward about a specific document. They are trained to find faults, especially in applications from certain countries.

5. If you're rejected, the best advice is to defer your admission to the next intake and apply at the point when many people would not have submitted their applications.

Some people here have gotten PPR request before medical request. Nothing is impossible with IRCC just trust God that yours will happen that way. Don't create unnecessary panic for yourself.

So can it be PPR if one has not done medical?

When did you receive your letter of acceptance for GIS application specialist from College of North Atlantic ?.


Queenbeloveth:
Good evening house, please gurus in the house should assist me with these questions.
I got admission to College of the North Atlantic to study GIS Application Specialist (Post Diploma) September Intake.
Please I want to ask
1, What's the changes of getting visa for someone who graduated 2012 and want to go for post diploma and how good is the school?
2, Is it a must to write IELTS before applying for a visa? As I'm seeing people talking about that but my school except Nigerians from test of English.
3, How soon çan I start my visa application?
4, Will 6m be enough to show a financial proof? Tuition fee for a year is 10k+ and I will have to pay a deposit or about 4500.
5, Can any close family meme we be a sponsor or co-sponsor?
6, I got admission into a UK University which I've paid almost my tuition fee for a year but due to some unexpected incident I had to deffered my admission till September, I really prefer Canada to UK that's why I decided to push the Canada admission. Please I want to ask people with experience if it's possible to apply for Canada visa and get it before July, so that I can determine my UK fate.
Thank you

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Onweke: 1:13pm On Nov 21, 2020
Sir, does it mean one should not apply for schools in Atlantic province ?.

Frankrobbn1:
This is because their tuition fees are cheaper and the Atlantic province is the easiest place to secure your PR without stress. The visa officers are fully aware of this, that's why prospective international students find it very challenging getting approval with some of the schools there and only a few are granted visa.


It will end in praise

Well noted. Thank you JustMellow.

JustMellow:
Hello Onweke,

You should thread carefully with any lump sum deposit given to be the major concern for your first application rejection. I want to believe you provided evidence to support the lump sum deposit in your first application. If you didn't or you did but didn't shed proper insight on how the funds came about, then I may want to think you're on the right track based on the name narration from the land sales and the Deed of Transfer (the copy of your survey should be photocopy) couple with Sales Receipt as the lump sum evidence.

If you feel your initial SOP is good and well-suited to address yoir reapplication study purpose, you may include it or restructure it if the need be. The LOE can focus on how well you've addressed the visa officer's concern regarding your funds.

It may even be more better to wait and run your account adequately with the available 7m. This would go a long way to demonstrate your economic level of establishment and self-sufficiency in your home country. Anything you do, ensure you clear explain and address the VO's concern convincingly that the funds isn't borrowed.

In my opinion on using a Gift Deed as POF for study permit application, I have never been a fan and I have always tried to discourage it because I have not seen or heard of a testimony. Maybe others may have seen or witness but if true, the success story maybe very few.

All the best
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Onweke: 11:30am On Oct 20, 2020
Thanks boss.

Frankrobbn1:
You will have to write a separate letter of explanation addressing the lump sum deposit that came into your account, the source of the funds and relevant documents to evidence that the accrued funds wasn't borrowed from a third party. Given that the origin of the funds came as a result of a sold landed property, you will have to attach the following documents.

1. A deed of assignment or deed of conveyance duly signed and notarized by a licensed attorney.
2. A land receipt.
3. Survey plan of the land.
4. If possible the valuation report of the said landed property and its address.



It will end in praise
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Onweke: 10:44am On Oct 20, 2020
Good day All,

For reapplication do I have to attach the previous SOP and the new LOE ?. I was refused due to only financial establishment. Large deposits and low balances (GCMS note).
Tuition 8,250 + LE 10,000 + miscellaneous 5,000. Total = 23,250 CAD ( N 6,751,281.86)
I want to do cash deposit 7 million with buyer's name as narration . Thereby tagging this huge deposit to the sale of my land (documents attached in previous application).I estimated the land value at that amount in my previous SOP. I plan to leave this money in the account for one month before reapplying. I already have 5 million in my account since June. What are the documents I should attach in this new application?. Only the deed of conveyance between the buyer and I or with survey plan in my name or the buyer's name ?
Please I need an advise.

I have already paid first semester school fees. Attached the proof in my previous application. I hope to reapply before the first week of December for fall 2021.




JustMellow:
Hello Onweke,

I will give my opinion from two viewpoints.

1. Be patient enough and run your account with the 5m from moms. This can go a long way to prove you're in a good economic standing.

2. If there isn't sufficient time to be patient, get moms to write a letter of support to back the funds committed into the intent.

Both points may make better sense if you can make part payment of your tuition without limiting the current balance. I think point one should be considered.

All the best

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Onweke:
I already have around 7 million before I submitted my application in June 2020 and my application was refused due to finance and weak home ties. I vexed and invested 2m in business. So the fund in the account is 5m since July. I want to reapply but need to top up the funds to 10m. Looking for a possible way to do it professionally without another refusal. I have a wife and a 5 month baby. Wife is working, Mum is working.


Anon123:
Pls how much is in your account at the moment.. I will advice against that deposit cos its too sudden and the visa officer will wonder why was the lump sum deposited at a go.. If you have a good amount in your account, u can use your mum as a co-sponsor. The only way to dump the lump sum is to do it over time(few months) before printing the bank statement.

You won't need mums bank statement and other bank docs if you move the money to your account
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Onweke: 3:46pm On Oct 10, 2020
If I decide to use my mother as a sponsor and possibly ask her to deposit like 5 million to my account then should I submit her bank statement, her employment details and reference letter from the bank or just reference letter and employment details ?.

How do I explain the source of this fund ?

Hello Onweke,

What is the total summation of both your first year tuition fees and LE, is it approximately the 7.2m or there was some extra of maybe 2m aside the budgeted funds for your family wellbeing upon your absence and how was this funds shown. How did you demonstrate that your spouse is gainfully employed and will be able to support/cater for the family in your absence? – this may help you understand or tackle the VO's concern for the low funds.

In terms of your proposed course, and aside you working in the bank, where you able to demonstrate that you have at least little experience in the choice course and/or carried out an assignment as well as an assigned tasks that exposed your limitations? Did you do well to provide clarity that the banking industry in Nigeria is now leaning towards Geographic Information System in solving future problems in the economy and in the industry. Where you able to present a prospect for this course that makes the Nigeria banking industry weak without its implementation and is this a relatively new field in the industry gradually taken shape? Even of I know, I may argue that this course would be a limitation to your professional career as a banker in future, was there any clarity to ensure the VO was properly enlightened?

In demonstrating how well-established you are in your CoR., it may be better to prove this by demonstrating how the owned properties ate not just liabilities but a money making venture with substantiated records of proof. If you claim it earns you funds, it should be able to reflect in your BS and not just dumping documents. Boost about your job and its numerous benefits in the present economy state and the several successful and rewarding financial assignments/contracts you've closed on behalf of your employers and vouch for the potentials you can reach in the future. Though there is a limitation to this especially for someone who earns a meagre pay.

Do well to take your time to explain any cash inflow that happens to be a lump sum deposit and show proof from where it came from, very important. It will be more preferable if it comes from a sales, contract or family.

Generally, I am trying to point all these to how you can improve on your home ties and letter.

- What you studied in Nigeria, the program you are going for in Canada & its qualification (PG. Cert or Masters or PH.D) etc.
- Marital Status
- Employment status
- Home ties - Family Ties.... etc..

Also share how you show your Proof Of Funds (List the Documents)

With that, members in house gonna know what went wrong , and be able to connect the GCM note text with your profile then arrive at a possible way the refusal can be tackled.
