i welcome you.
To our Month of Goodnews

You guys remember I ordered for my GCMS(mistakenly out of curiosity)after one month of submitting application, now here is the summary of the 62 pages.

Please gurus what does this mean?

Abeg I've been struggling to attach a screenshot of the note but it's not working, please how I achieve that?

Pee2Jay9:
Patience isn't one of my virtues so I struggled with this process but I thank God it worked out eventually.

1st Application: Visit visa refused in 2018
Study permit application - 10th July 2020
GCMS notes - 21st September, stating absolute rubbish that didn't tally with my submissions, I'm self sponsored but they said I'll deplete family savings plus other crap they wrote. I started sending plenty webforms and emails, requesting that my application be reviewed as the assessment on the notes were very wrong, all to no avail
Official refusal - October 2nd 2020. Reasons stated for me - family ties, personal assets, purpose of visit including travel history, lolz.

2nd Application - 16th October 2020
Upfront medical - 30th November 2020

NSE request for only ielts - 1st December. I replied next day telling them that I can't write cos I'm unavailable. Then I merged my LOE as to why I can't write + my medical sheet + tuition receipt of $2,500 to UoR and submitted in the column provided for NSE. I first used UoM LOA to apply but later adviced them to continue processing with UoR LOA since the previous admission was valid for only the winter term, no deferral. I haven't read of anyone doing this for an ongoing application and was strongly advised against doing it but I sent it anyway.

Medicals passed - 16th of December 2020.
17th March 2021 - IRCC finally replied one of my several emails (that processing has exceeded standard time) asking for ielts again. I had to promised them that I'll go and write it and send the upper week.
IELTS exam - 27th March 2021 but then, I didn't know that
BVL & PPR had dropped on 26th of March 2021
UPS 2-way courier to Abuja - 29th March 2021
Passport returned to me - April 2021

Documents submitted for both applications:
All IMM forms
In the Admission section, i uploaded:
Admission letter, Correspondence with school and application receipts
BEng certificate and transcript
Certifications - COREN, NSE, IPMP, NYSC

In the passport section, i uploaded:
International passport with visas to Singapore, UAE and Ghana
Birth Certificate and LGA certificate
Biometrics documents

Proof of funds section, I uploaded:
myBank statement ticket, amount to tally with a table I created to show all funds required for the duration of my study
My several Investments and pension accounts showing that the funds for my studies is only a percentage of my networth, all to prove assets and economic ties.
Employer's Letter of introduction
Payslips
Tax Certificates
Business agreements and Investment Certificates - I think some of these were unnecessary especially the FX investments.

Client info section, I uploaded: Table of content for documents , followed by LOE
Age declaration documents for parents
Birth certificates for siblings
An inauguration brochure for my dad as ICAN chairman, that had pictures of my family members as professionals in different fields
My personal land deed, survey and receipts
Proof of car ownership, explained as assets
Updated CV, Work ID card
Congratulatory emails and awards from work, some had pictures from expatriate supervisors, an award from global Manager
Employment history - all my promotion documents and offers from past and present

In summary, what I did differently was to only subtly rebut the previous reasons with same documents used for the first time (even the myBank statement was the old one I reused with no money in my UBA account sef, but I got a letter from Stanbic asset managers attesting my finances, and submitted SOA from 2016). I also paid $2,500 as part of my tuition, just to show commitment of some sort.

The Letter I wrote for the second application was termed LETTER OF RECONSIDERATION, telling the VO to refer to their error in the previous application and that I meet their requirements. I showed my POF budgeted as $50k (a % of my total) to cover the entire 2 years of my study - $15k tuition, $25k for living expenses & $10k flights and miscellaneous, as I'll be self sponsored.
Home ties were parents, siblings and friends, Stanbic asset management Investment letter, UK-DION investment certificate to be receiving monthly ROI to cater for unseen events while studying (all to show that I'm not going there to work), Pension, Landed property & Car.
I studied Chemical Eng. and going for MSc. in Industrial as a progression in my career.

The gist:
When the GCMS notes came in that first time, I feel into depression cos I couldn't fathom how poorly my application was assessed but I found strength, after many hard days, to maintain my faith, holding unto the fact that God won't leave me half-way. I reached out to plenty lawyers to just go straight to JR cos up till now, I don't understand what went wrong with that first application, considering that I had studied this thread from part 13 and know what was obtainable. I wrote my LOE using every refusal reason as subheadings and addressing each as it applies to me, but then... I learned some lessons - so much is outside my control, God is faithful so I should depend solely on Him than trust my own understanding, In such cases, sound more sympathetic than professional.

Upon seeking JR approach, one lawyer just advised me to reapply first and we'll take it up after the second time. Now, God perfected it. To all hopefuls, God doesn't put to shame those that put their trust in Him. I literally gave up plenty times and even stopped going to church, but His mercy and reckless love won't just give up on me. I even prefer traveling now than that December I had wanted, God's time is really the best and I thank Him for how it turned out.

Thanks to everyone that replied my enquiries and emails, I really appreciate y'all. I've made great friends from this forum, It's really overwhelming and I'm grateful to y'all.
Congrats and shout out to Lekiboboe (my amazing and selfless paddy that have always been just a chat away) and NairaLuck (my first application set-mate that it happened for before me, I'm happy it ended in praise for us all), IRCC made me weak to even type here again. Thanks to Frank (u literally had to stand by for my unending emails) and Dommakaveli - this 2 argued one time on one enquiry I raised, lolz, all follow o. Shout out to my UoR crew. I thank u all so much for believing in my application and wishing me success. God will always show you favor. Ehem, Brace up, landing gist to follow�

Congrats. God has done it for you.

If your travelling isn't around the corner why not open a dormicilliary account and follow up with the bank to do it fast cuz it seems opening a dormicilliary account here is war ooo cuz you have to look for someone that has current account to reference you and if the person banks with your bank it makes it faster was on this process for one month+ cuz of looking for Reference and following up for them to confirm the References I just collected my card and finalized the process yesterday then when you get the card you will have to FUND the card with USD cuz it's in form of a credit card which has a separate account number from your Dormicilliary account which would enable you to pay with it. But if there's no time you can try flutter Wave I guess it should work not sure!!!

Good day everyone, I’m sure we are all doing well, please I need an immigration lawyer in Canada, can anyone recommend good one for me, thanks for your help.

Have you gotten one yet?

Please I have a question. The minimum amount for NSE route is 30k CAD but it seems people get NSE request irrespective of if they have such amount. I have read through these trail and noticed that people with about 10,000 CAD where given study permit via the NSE route. Can someone clarify me on this? Because I have all the requirement but my statement of account is about 17,000 CAD.

I really appreciate this response. Thanks bro

Uzomachukwu:
1. You can send the SOP to me at delphianconsulting@gmail.com. I should be able to give some useful thoughts on it.

2. The expression 'just got busy' is very vague in terms of explaining your financial situation. But if you mean that there had been no serious funds in it until recently, and that what is there is not yet enough for your tuition, travel and living expenses, then my advise would be this: wait till June when you'll get that funding letter from your PI. It will add a whole lot of weight to your study permit/visa application. Time, as they say, will be against you by then. That's true, but you can buy time by preparing your mind to start your PhD online for the Fall term and then travel when your visa comes out, or you can defer to winter term if at all this is possible in your case (depending on your funding arrangement with your department and PI/supervisor, you could be allowed to defer by a term or for a full session — the former is always preferable if your funding arrangement allows it).

3. Applying via NSE is well advised. You could use the waiting time to obtain a satisfactory score in your IELTS. A PhD student, I believe, should be able to score 9.9, if not the full 10 points, in IELTS. LOL... What a joke! (It would have been true if only IELTS were a respecter of one's academic level. I read with pleasure the story of the white Australian born English PhD candidate and star student who couldn't score up to, was it, 7.0 in IELTS. Ah! This English-language-oil-refinery which the UK and Australia mischievously set up just to milk the so-called global south dry).

Anyone applied to the University of Waterloo? Have you gotten an admission/rejection letter?

Good Morning all,
I applied through an immigration lawyer,15th January 2021 and till date no updates asides biometrics completed January 21st. I did an upfront medical 5th March and till date no updates whether it’s been passed despite qlife claiming they have sent the result since 14th March.
Can I personally be sending messages and web forms to the Nairobi visa center email addresses considering the fact that I used a representative( an immigration lawyer) for my application. I ask this because I feel the intensity at which I will be sending the messages will be higher than my rep.
Someone help a brother pls! Thanks

ajikaz2003:
Screenshot the page that has the officer's comment, if any, and the page that has the status of the eligibility/criminality/information sharing. You will have to attach the screenshots here.

That was what I did initially and still trying but it dosn't pick/attach any of my selected file.

oyibo4real:

Look at the section titled ASSESSMENT, it should be on page 2, it should have Eligibility, criminality, etc subsections. You need to take a screenshot. After typing your post, under submit is attachment, click choose file, then choose the intended screenshot, to upload and submit the post.

If there is a note on your gcms it'll be on the last page. You can screenshot and upload the same way I described above.

More importantly blurr any personal information or identification numbers on the note.

If you can't figure out how to attach screenshot, then type out the note assuming there is any and type out the Assessment section too. The gurus will explain the meaning.

Hope it helps

Yes you can personally send a webform with your medical information and a prompt to update your medical, that should get your medical updated and showing as passed.

Since your application is still within stipulated processing time, be patient regarding asking for a decision. Hopefully you'll hear from them soon. If your application goes beyond the number of processing weeks advised, then you can start sending them emails and webforms.

I applied around 2nd week of Jan 2021.

oyibo4real:
Please when did you apply?
Am asking cos I was placed on waiting list since Dec 2020 but I got a mail from them today giving me hope of admission. Meanwhile I've already submitted my visa application using Fanshawe, anyways; let's see how it goes shaa.

Thanks for your response ...but the down side is the fact that my school resumes May 10 which is approximately a month away, also my rep has sent them the medical slip I got from qlife on that same date (March 5)

Good evening my people, please can one pay online visa application fee with a regular GTB master card. This is for re-application.

Good Morning, please for those who have applied for study permit online. How did you go about paying... Please kindly reply?[/quote]
