My school (university of Manitoba) does not require that I pay my fees before issuing unconditional admission letter.

So I didn’t submit any receipt of fee payment for my study application. Is this a red flag?

did you get graduate assistantship

My quest for visa started way back in 2003/2004; during Law School/after the death of my father/NYSC.

First UK visa application (Visit) was in 2004 - refused.
Second UK visa application (Visit) in 2006 - refused.
Third UK visa application (Study) in 2008 - refused.
Fourth UK visa application (Visit) in 2011 - approved.
Fifth UK visa application (Visit) in 2020 - approved, but wasn’t used cos of COVID.

TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations....... It ended in praise

PPR dropped this evening.

TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!!!

Good morning everyone,
I have a BSc degree(in ngr), and I wish to study another BSc course in Canada. After successful admission, will my visa be refused because I did not go for a MSc program?

Please I need your advise...

Congrats in advance

Hello great people,
So, I received my GCMS notes last night. Eligibility shows "Recommend Interview". My Eligibility review already started though.
However, I see a lot of "FILE AND/OR APP TRANSFER" on my notes. Is this usually the case? Will this cause any form of delay?
I'm thinking to send a webform/email to all these offices to ask for updates. Perhaps, it will nudge them to take a look at my file.

Please Gurus in the house, your responses will be greatly appreciated.

But I believe a tuition deposit was paid right

Petrrr:
this is the reason I was denied the visa. What do you think I should do now?

You've done what you're supposed to do by ordering GCMS note. I hope you made the order yourself and not your agent. You probably still don't have have access to your account. Are you certain this is your refusal letter because I don't understand why you were presented with a hard copy.

May your joy be permanent , cobgrats

Bvl and PPR just arrived!
What God cannot do, doesnt exist

I guess they are saying they requested NSE documents from you and anytime that is done it takes additional processing time. Kindly clarify to me what MP means. Also, when did you submit your application?

Hello everyone,
Congrats to every PPR grabber!
I recently sent a mail to a MP, here is the response I got.
“Hello,

I spoke to IRCC regarding your file. They stated that it is still in process and eligibility is being worked on. Any time IRCC requests additional information from you (which they have done) the file is considered non-routine and takes additional time for processing.

They stated that they would be in touch with you directly should anything further be required”

Please does anyone know what this suggest?

I did not notice grammatical errors. In fact, your testimony was interesting to read. The flow in your writing style did not make the error obvious.

You are a real go-getter and very determined. Keep it up sis.

I can imagine the joy in your home. Congrats!

Thanks.

Hi all!

When one ignores the NSE request, must he/she send letter of explanation explaining reasons for that action?

I can’t categorically say yes. But IMHO, it may help the VO to appreciate your case better.

Hope this helps.

From my personal experience, I think IRCC are reviewing your app, and will get in touch with you once there is an update/decision.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nana53,

While you await more contributions from the gurus, below is my take;

Age is not a barrier to further your education. What is most important is career progression enough to convince the admission officers. You have extensive years of experience, so I don't think you will have any issue in gaining admission. GDBA and MBA are both good choices depending on your academic background and your job functions in terms of work experience. I don't know what you do on your job but the career progression must be logical, especially when you are presenting your application to immigration for your visa.

Your academic programme and course of choice have to be similar to your work experience or academic background. One good thing about your profile is your extensive work experience most especially if the 7 years are related to your current job. You can use this to your advantage to convince the visa officer you are established and coming back because you have a good job waiting for you. The motivation for your studies and how this will add value to you and your organization when you return has to be documented when you are presenting your application to IRCC for Visa.

@ Lekkiboboe is our career guru, and he has lots of expertise on issues like this, or you can await more contributions from other gurus.

Thank you Olasubomy. Your response has been very helpful even as I await more contributions from.the gurus. I have held position in legal and compliance for financial service organisation for the 7 years experience I was talking about. Thanks for the directions. I would start my application in September by God's grace.

Congrats in advance
