Please my HR is about providing an introduction letter to me. Does my salary need to be indicated on that letter?
What I told them to currently include is
1. Year I joined the company
2. Current position.

Please what else needs to be on this letter?

badmanjo:
I think this means showing a bank statement of 1 year and enough money for studies that lasts at least 6 months which is mostly 2 semesters

Yeah, I think this is the correct interpretation.

Please anyone, it’s quite urgent

Good day Guys,

Please can I just walk-in to the VFS centre for my biometrics without an upfront Appointment.
I got my Biometric request letter today, and I would love to have it today, as I am leaving Lagos over the weekend.

Hello Gurus.. have got few question.
1 I keep seeing people mentioning NSE message. Is NSE message clue that student visa will be issued.

My self and my boss submitted test of English waiver letter for our applicant in replacement of IELTS score. She got test of English waiver letter from the school in Canada and her school here in Nigeria.

Though she wrote IELTS but didn't have a good score so we decided not to submit IELTS score.
It's over a month we submitted waiver letter and a year statement of account but we have not received any message yet.
She has paid a year tuition fee, with 3.8m in her account added with Grant of 4.2 m ..
What's your view towards this application? Plssss

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�

Oja SOPE!!!!!!!!!

Only God can do what no man can do

BIG CONGRATULATIONS

They don't necessarily acknowledge receipt of a document. However I think prove of fund shouldn't be an issue for your client. No one can say how submission of a waiver in place of IELTS result can affect the speed of an application process.

Legacyedition:
I no be English student, infact I no sabi write well well.


But make dissect this statement again.


"Showing sufficient fund for your studies for atleast 6 months" and 12 months of banking history. @ Uzomachukwu speaks Queen's English.

Trying to figure out what you mean! Are you trying to explain better what I wrote or asking a question?

Guys I intend submitting my online study permit application by Monday but I have a problem..two of my elder sisters live in Canada and my junior brother is also a student in Canada..he left this year, making it three of my siblings in Canada but I’m worried that this may be seen as family tie in Canada and may affect my application, how do I prove that this i really intend leaving Canada and do I mention my siblings in Canada in my SOP or should I just leave it?

Its one month today, eligibility review and background check still going on. What should I expect at last? The suspense is making me fall sick. Please no body should laugh at me o.

Today makes it one month and 2weeks since I applied for my study permit and am yet to get any update. Although my eligibility and background check has been running since then

Did you notice ghost update earlier this morning? As I’ll like to confirm if it was just me or it was a network problem. I got multiple ghost updates earlier this morning. Although when I tried checking my application status error 502 popped up

I didn't get any ghost update

Hello everyone!
Please the college I’m applying to is requesting for high school transcripts which I’m almost sure my school will not have anymore.

Is it possible to use WAEC/NECO instead?

Thanks!

Two of ur sister left before your brother left earlier this year, they did not refuse him because ur sisters are there. Well, you don't have to include it in ur sop, ur family information will show it. Just upload the necessary documents and pray. It will definitely end in praise.

Good morning all,

I woke up to these guys asking for my bankstatement again. I had attached it alongside my IELTS result when I was applying initially.

Biko, is this a good sign or na just now them begin process my application?

Secondly, my hubby who is my co-sponsor lost his job in January. How do I address this? Should I still attach his my bankstatement and maybe a letter of explanation as no inflow has entered his acct since Feb or shld I just send everything like that?

Gurus in the house, please answer me urgently abeg.

Is the balance intact? if yes send it like that.

Same day I did biometrics. Got home and checked my account and noticed biometrics update, the reviews and checks updates too.

Please anyone, it’s quite urgent

let ur HR include your income per annum and other fringe benefits. it would go a long way

Thank you for your response and explanation

olasubomy:
This means that the Case Processing Analyst ( Visa Officer) has done the first level of review and passed it on to a Senior Immigration Officer for a final review and verdict. That is why you see the remark "Recommend Interview". Your friend should be expecting a decision soon.

All is looking positive from the initial review done.

It will end in praise.

Same day I did biometrics. But ever since then no update. Although I got ghost updates 3 days consecutively after my biometrics. After which I also received ghost update earlier this morning. But I feel it’s a server downtime due to the error 502 that accompanied it.

Please anyone going to Conestoga College and has made deposit payment, please how did you make payment. my sponsor (a company) Access Bank says western union has not been working for months. And my sponsor can’t use flywire hence no ATM card as it is a corporate account
