Naheem4real:
Hello beautiful people, any idea on explanation letter for not writing an IELTS exam?

Did you get a request? Just let them know that all exam dates within the deadline are fully booked already, and that they should proceed with the processing via the regular channel.

Many thanks @shupy
Your words are convincing enough.
I'll do exactly what u said.
Thanks a lot again.
Pls, how is a gift deed done to prove home ties?
My mother has a landed property that she would like to transfer to me to be used as a gift deed in my 2nd study permit app.

shupy:


First of all, don't even try to run the bank manager package. It's a very risky thing to do.

Your uncle can sponsor you along with your mum. One thing most people fail to do when it comes proof of fund, is to demonstrate genuine access to the fund they're showing. It is very essential especially when using a 3rd party sponsor. Let him provide fund for living/tuition expenses from his account. Payment of tuition is not a requirement but it's always a plus to an application. The transaction should be pointed out in his letter of sponsorship. A letter and an affidavit of sponsorship goes a very long way. Don't underestimate both.
Your uncle should also show source of fund. Be it employment letter or CAC documents.

LOE/SOP it doesn't matter what you call it.

Finally, I have my reservation regarding sales of property. There's simply no guarantee your application will be approved even if you raise the fund from the sales of property.

Wishing you all the best.

aminat2000:
I think all these updates actually depends on the officer in charge of your file. I guess some decides to update their clients profile while others don't. So, your eligibility might have started but not updated. All in all, eligibility starting is not the issue, getting PPR is the main thing. May God help us. I submitted IELTS and MBS with my application though. What about you?

only MBS

Hello guys,

Does anyone have a draft for writing SOP

Did you get a request? Just let them know that all exam dates within the deadline are fully booked already, and that they should proceed with the processing via the regular channel.

Yes Shupy, I got a request since 7th of May and I expected it to be processed through the normal route, still my review of Eligibility is under process and I recently noticed my review of additional documents says “We need additional documents to continue processing my application” as shown in the image below. So, I got an advice to upload mybankstatement certificate and an explanation letter just to let it clear the documents requested since I can still upload.

I just replied your email.

MY LANDING GIST!!!!

KLM Flight at MMIA, Ikeja. Lagos to Amsterdam (almost 6hrs layover at Amsterdam Airport), Amsterdam to Toronto.

Got to the Airport 4pm, August 11th

Brought three bags (22kg Clothes, 20kg Food), Laptop bag with my laptop, clear bag having my docs. & some other Contents (chips) inside of it.

Interestingly, the first search port , they checked my first bag which was having my clothes in it, as I was trying to bring my second bag (which contained Food stuffs) , they said I shouldn't bother, was quite surprised. Because i know i might not be able to go out during quarantine, I packed a substantial amount of food stuffs and ready to eat foods such as Peanuts, Chips etc. The second bag i used to pack my foodstuffs was a Traveling bag, am assuming they thought it was Clothes that was also inside that bag. In a nutshell I wasn't directed to Nigerian Quarantine Agriculture service, I went straight to KLM post to check-in.


Documents Asked;
- International Passport
- LOA
- Tuition Payment. Receipt from the School
- Negative COVID-19 Test
- Enrollment Letter was asked but i had only "Travel Authorization Letter (Travel Support Letter)", Enrolment letter wasn't available, my DLI would not give me cos my Program is in-person (can't be done online) and they told me i need to be in Canada in physical, get the STUDY PERMIT before I can be allowed to register. The KLM staff was a bit skeptical about me not having ENROLLMENT LETTER, but only TRAVEL SUPPORT LETTER, I had to show her the e-mail from the school to prove that what I was saying was legit, she called her OGA, the oga sha scanned thru the TRAVEL SUPPORT LETTER and the mail, he was pointing out a portion of that letter to her & told her "I was good to go".

She directed me to another port to check in my luggage, and i met another lady, she asked for my passport, gave me YELLOW card that I should fill it and also write the name of my destination, DLI, Naija Phone number on it, then she gave me my boarding pass (Lagos to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Toronto)

From there, I sat down somewhere near one Foreign Affairs mini office. I was jejely waiting there, Mumsy, Dad & my Aburo (sisto) were with me. Naxo one man with I.D card just come meet my mumsy say, is he your son, mumsy answer " yes". He come talk say make me i follow am (he looks like a Custom/immigration/foreign affairs staff, wasn't able to see details about his ID, but he be like say he get mouth for that airport, he was on a casual outfit, not in Uniform). He was with some travellers going to Canada as well. Naxo me just follow am, he told mumsy, say make dem give him her fone make he snap us Sharp sharp, telling her that " after this place they are not allowed to follow me to the Immigration section".

Mumsy come dey kinda cry, hug me, me come dey feel emotional but smiling, Daddy and my Aburo (sisto) no cry but we hugged, snapped pictures and said their BYES to me.

So i went through the Naija Immigration section, and it was seamless. This man was in our front all through, I no know wetin him dey follow those Customs guys, immigration guys talk. I guess that man na one ANGEL. I was with my one year Living Expenses in Cash $8K USD (equivalent to $10K CAD), I wasn't able to get PTA for naija bank cos my ticket na ONE WAY.

Naija Immigration guys only asked of my:
- International Passport
- Boarding Pass
- Yellow Card.

He made a stamp on my PASSPORT, collected my YELLOW CARD, gave me back my boarding pass and said I can go.

We went to another port of immigration, commot belt, remove shoes, remove phone, remove laptop put on big tray like that,entered the other side and left.

In a nutshell, I didn't grease anybody hands, nobody asked me for money (anything for the boys), nobody asked "how much is with you" customs seff no ask me any question, i just walk pass them as that man dey go for our front . I was just being attended to like a DIPLOMAT and all was a cruise.

Along the line I saw one cute yarinya (kai walahi odo wun yefe ), his Dad/guardian (an Airport/Aviation staff I guess) was with her putting her thru, na so we gather dey together dey gist till our Amsterdam Flight was called for boarding, but our seat come far, nobody to gist with again

FLIGHT FROM LAGOS TO AMSTERDAM (SCHIPOL AIRPORT)
Flight departed Naija : 11pm , August 11th

Food Was quite OK, Oyinbo Food, chai.... We were served twice. Me just zip my Orange Juice after eating.

Movies Yapa ,
I watched GOLD STATUE (Gabriel Afolayan, Sola Sobowale, RMD, Kalu Ikeagu) but didn't complete the movie, BOB Abishola TV series and WonderWoman 1984

Got to Amsterdam 5am the next day " August 12, we waited till 10.45am (5-6hrs stop over) before announcement was made about boarding the Flight going to Toronto from Amsterdam, we were on queue, the KLM staff there asked for my Docs., told him I was a student.

Showed him my
- COVID-19 Negative PCR test
- Boarding Pass
- Passport
- Travel Authorization Letter

He said I should make sure I show all documents to the CBSA guys at Toronto P.O.E. & he wished me a safe trip

I can count the number of Dark skin passengers on that aircraft, 80% of them were Whites, Middle East & Asians.

FLIGHT FROM AMSTERDAM TO TORONTO

On the KLM flight from Amsterdam to Toronto, we were served oyinbo food, me i just jejely asked for Natural Orange Fruit juice all through to press the food, the food was delicious, and was jejely sipping it (to keep boosting my immune system). I was able to complete the MOVIE (GOLD STATUE) on this flight, also saw the movie "Godzilla vs KingKong".

We arrived Toronto Pearson Airport 12.45pm (journey was 6-hours). We Trekked wella before getting to the CBSA officers check point. There was a machine i visited first with my international Passport (for Scanning) & also answered some questions, and also the machine snapped my picture, when i was through, a white slip was printed out automatically with my picture on it and some other info.

So I was on the queue, met an immigration officer (a Cute woman with a latina-like face attended to me);
she asked me
- why are you in Canada, told her to "TO STUDY"
- International Passport
- Negative COVID-19 Test result
- ArriveCAN receipt.

So on that slip that had my picture in it, she made a remark with a Marker on it, gave me back, and also gave me a Paper having some information about COVID-19.

So I proceeded to the next immigration officer.

He asked for my
- Passport (Gave to him)
- Why I was in Canada?
- Is this my first time in Canny?
- What DLI (School) are you attending?
- ArriveCAN receipt

Within 5-minutes, he printed my STUDY PERMIT, on that letter there was an information which shows I can work as a student & he also gave me a Work permit (Co-op Work permit). In a nutshell i got two WORK PERMITS.

I was directed to an exit, met another immigration officer, he asked how much was with me, I told him $8K USD ($10K CAD equivalent), was trying to bring it out, he just said "you can go"

Went to claim my LUGGAGE, saw my first bag, was intact, saw my second bag containing the food stuffs, the Bag has been opened, zip messed up, the KLM staff come dey apologize say na the people wey arrange my load no do am well, and talk say the few turbulence that happened in the air affected some luggage including mine. i checked if all was intact and discovered nothing was taking cos i get list of everything in a paper.

I am not vaccinated, so i went for my rapid on arrival PCR TEST, they asked if I have reg. on the switch health website, I said YES. So I went to switch health (representing TORONTO) to do the COVID-19 TEST. Afterwards, I.was directed to go get my COVID-19 TEST KIT

Note:
If you are landing at TORONTO PEARSON AIRPORT (YYZ) make sure you reg. at the switch health website so you won't waste your time at the airport.

I connected to their Wifi and got across to my Airbnb host, cos she say make I call her if I don finish with Border officials.

My Airbnb host (a Philippine Woman) come use her OCHARA TEAR RUBBER TOYOTA JEEP come pick me for Airport go the Airbnb Location. She was very nice and welcoming, we gist small sha, and i related to her wella as if we don know each other before, she was enjoying our convo all through, me jz dey use some Geography totori her. We got to the Airbnb Location & she showed me around, her place make sense, bed dey bounce wella, WiFi dey (the speed no be here at all, I come use style remember my GLO network for Naija, wey I go Switch-On the WiFi, climb tree up go out am to receive fast network reception).

So far so good, Quarantine as being dope, na one Israeli guy dey the other apartment , he is fully vaccinated but was staying in a room in that same Airbnb. The guy sha help me change small money, rate was dope sha, come help me buy Groceries. He talk say if I need anything make I holla at him.

All I can say is, GOD TOOK PERFECT CONTROL, journey was long but amazing

I MUST say ORILE EDE CANADA is damn amazing" no fire brigade approach from anyone, no body blood dey hot for here. Everyone looks cool , respectful and ready to help, everything na SEMPE SEMPE for here.

I pray for everyone awaiting a decision from IRCC, your Canadian Dreams would come to reality soon & very soon!!!

Peace!!!

This is loud, Congratulations

MY LANDING GIST!!!!

KLM Flight at MMIA, Ikeja. Lagos to Amsterdam (almost 6hrs layover at Amsterdam Airport), Amsterdam to Toronto.

Got to the Airport 4pm, August 11th

Brought three bags (22kg Clothes, 20kg Food), Laptop bag with my laptop, clear bag having my docs. & some other Contents (chips) inside of it.

Interestingly, the first search port , they checked my first bag which was having my clothes in it, as I was trying to bring my second bag (which contained Food stuffs) , they said I shouldn't bother, was quite surprised. Because i know i might not be able to go out during quarantine, I packed a substantial amount of food stuffs and ready to eat foods such as Peanuts, Chips etc. The second bag i used to pack my foodstuffs was a Traveling bag, am assuming they thought it was Clothes that was also inside that bag. In a nutshell I wasn't directed to Nigerian Quarantine Agriculture service, I went straight to KLM post to check-in.


Documents Asked;
- International Passport
- LOA
- Tuition Payment. Receipt from the School
- Negative COVID-19 Test
- Enrollment Letter was asked but i had only "Travel Authorization Letter (Travel Support Letter)", Enrolment letter wasn't available, my DLI would not give me cos my Program is an in-person and they told me i need to be in Canada in physical, get the STUDY PERMIT before I can be allowed to register. The KLM staff was a bit skeptical about me not having ENROLLMENT LETTER, but only TRAVEL SUPPORT LETTER, I had to show her the e-mail from the school to prove that what I was saying was legit, she called her OGA, the oga sha scanned thru the TRAVEL SUPPORT LETTER and the mail, he was pointing out a portion of that letter to her & told her "I was good to go".

She directed me to another port to check in my luggage, and i met another lady, she asked for my passport, gave me YELLOW card that I should fill it and also write the name of my destination, DLI, Naija Phone number on it, then she gave me my boarding pass (Lagos to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Toronto)

From there, I sat down somewhere near one Foreign Affairs mini office. I was jejely waiting there, Mumsy, Dad & my Aburo (sisto) were with me. Naxo one man with I.D card just come meet my mumsy say, is she your son, mumsy answer " yes". He come talk say make me i follow am (he looks like a Custom/immigration/foreign affairs staff, wasn't able to see details about his ID, but he be like say he get mouth for that airport, he was on a casual outfit, not in Uniform). He was with some travellers going to Canada as well. Naxo me just follow am, he told mumsy, say make dem give him her fone make he snap us Sharp sharp, telling her that " after this place they are not allowed to follow me to the Immigration section".

Mumsy come dey kinda cry, hug me, me come dey feel emotional but smiling, Daddy and my Aburo (sisto) no cry but we hugged, snapped pictures and said their BYES to me.

So i went through the Naija Immigration section, and it was seamless. This man was in our front all through, I no know wetin him dey follow those Customs guys, immigration guys talk. I guess that man na one ANGEL. I was with my one year Living Expenses in Cash $8K USD (equivalent to $10K CAD), I wasn't able to get PTA for naija bank cos my ticket na ONE WAY.

Naija Immigration guys only asked of my:
- International Passport
- Boarding Pass
- Yellow Card.

He made a stamp on my PASSPORT, collected my YELLOW CARD, gave me back my boarding pass and said I can go.

We went to another port of immigration, commot belt, remove shoes, remove phone, remove laptop put on big tray like that,entered the other side and left.

In a nutshell, I didn't grease anybody hands, nobody asked me for money (anything for the boys), nobody asked "how much is with you" customs seff no ask me any question, i just walk pass them as that man dey go for our front . I was just being attended to like a DIPLOMAT and all was a cruise.

Along the line I saw one cute yarinya (kai walahi odo wun yefe ), his Dad/guardian (an Airport/Aviation staff I guess) was with her putting her thru, na so we gather dey together dey gist till our Amsterdam Flight was called for boarding, but our seat come far, nobody to gist with again

FLIGHT FROM LAGOS TO AMSTERDAM (SCHIPOL AIRPORT)
Flight departed Naija : 11pm , August 11th

Food Was quite OK, Oyinbo Food, chai.... We were served twice. Me just zip my Orange Juice after eating.

Movies Yapa ,
I watched GOLD STATUE (Gabriel Afolayan, Sola Sobowale, RMD, Kalu Ikeagu) but didn't complete the movie, BOB Abishola TV series and WonderWoman 1984

Got to Amsterdam 5am the next day " August 12, we waited till 10.45am (5-6hrs stop over) before announcement was made about boarding the Flight going to Toronto from Amsterdam, we were on queue, the KLM staff there asked for my Docs., told him I was a student.

Showed him my
- COVID-19 Negative PCR test
- Boarding Pass
- Passport
- Travel Authorization Letter

He said I should make sure I show all documents to the CBSA guys at Toronto P.O.E. & he wished me a safe trip

I can count the number of Dark skin passengers on that aircraft, 80% of them were Whites, Middle East & Asians.

FLIGHT FROM AMSTERDAM TO TORONTO

On the KLM flight from Amsterdam to Toronto, we were served oyinbo food, me i just jejely asked for Natural Orange Fruit juice all through to press the food, the food was delicious, and was jejely sipping it (to keep boosting my immune system). I was able to complete the MOVIE (GOLD STATUE) on this flight, also saw the movie "Godzilla vs KingKong".

We arrived Toronto Pearson Airport 12.45pm (journey was 6-hours). We Trekked wella before getting to the CBSA officers check point. There was a machine i visited first with my international Passport (for Scanning) & also answered some questions, and also the machine snapped my picture, when i was through, a white slip was printed out automatically with my picture on it and some other info.

So I was on the queue, met an immigration officer (a Cute woman with a latina-like face attended to me);
she asked me
- why are you in Canada, told her to "TO STUDY"
- International Passport
- Negative COVID-19 Test result
- ArriveCAN receipt.

So on that slip that had my picture in it, she made a remark with a Marker on it, gave me back, and also gave me a Paper having some information about COVID-19.

So I proceeded to the next immigration officer.

He asked for my
- Passport (Gave to him)
- Why I was in Canada?
- Is this my first time in Canny?
- What DLI (School) are you attending?
- ArriveCAN receipt

Within 5-minutes, he printed my STUDY PERMIT, on that letter there was an information which shows I can work as a student & he also gave me a Work permit (Co-op Work permit). In a nutshell i got two WORK PERMITS.

I was directed to an exit, met another immigration officer, he asked how much was with me, I told him $8K USD ($10K CAD equivalent), was trying to bring it out, he just said "you can go"

Went to claim my LUGGAGE, saw my first bag, was intact, saw my second bag containing the food stuffs, the Bag has been opened, zip messed up, the KLM staff come dey apologize say na the people wey arrange my load no do am well, and talk say the few turbulence that happened in the air affected some luggage including mine. i checked if all was intact and discovered nothing was taking cos i get list of everything in a paper.

I am not vaccinated, so i went for my rapid on arrival PCR TEST, they asked if I have reg. on the switch health website, I said YES. So I went to switch health (representing TORONTO) to do the COVID-19 TEST. Afterwards, I.was directed to go get my COVID-19 TEST KIT

Note:
If you are landing at TORONTO PEARSON AIRPORT (YYZ) make sure you reg. at the switch health website so you won't waste your time at the airport.

I connected to their Wifi and got across to my Airbnb host, cos she say make I call her if I don finish with Border officials.

My Airbnb host (a Philippine Woman) come use her OCHARA TEAR RUBBER TOYOTA JEEP come pick me for Airport go the Airbnb Location. She was very nice and welcoming, we gist small sha, and i related to her wella as if we don know each other before, she was enjoying our convo all through, me jz dey use some Geography totori her. We got to the Airbnb Location & she showed me around, her place make sense, bed dey bounce wella, WiFi dey (the speed no be here at all, I come use style remember my GLO network for Naija, wey I go Switch-On the WiFi, climb tree up go out am to receive fast network reception).

So far so good, Quarantine as being dope, na one Israeli guy dey the other apartment , he is fully vaccinated but was staying in a room in that same Airbnb. The guy sha help me change small money, rate was dope sha, come help me buy Groceries. He talk say if I need anything make I holla at him.

All I can say is, GOD TOOK PERFECT CONTROL, journey was long but amazing

I MUST say ORILEDE CANADA is damn amazing" no fire brigade approach from anyone, no body blood dey hot for here. Everyone looks cool , respectful and ready to help, everything na SEMPE SEMPE for here.

I pray for everyone awaiting a decision from IRCC, your Canadian Dreams would come to reality soon & very soon!!!

bollybeejay:

If he is not serving any meaning to your application please avoid mentioning him. You staying with him should be something known to you alone. Mentioning that in your application is like shooting yourself on the leg.

Hm, yah.

Appreciate all these advises, seriously.
God Bless.

It shall definitely end in praises for all us. AMEN!

My own humble advise to the applicant is wait for your notes. His case and mine are similar. My uncle sponsor and mum co-sponsor and the RCIC I am consulting with asked three questions:

Did you show ties between your parent and your uncle.
Did the person related to your uncle whether dad or mum do a letter attaching birth certificate showing both their parents names are connected?

Would you say you did your best by connecting the ties? I shouldn’t assume they will do their own check, most of the time they rely on whatever they have in front of them, don’t forget they have barely 1 hour to peruse each application. Forget that 4 month eligibility.

Again, you can’t conclude your uncle sponsoring you is the issue until you see your notes.

If I’m reapplying my consultant has told me to pay entire fees and do GIC. If still you are denied for personal assets n financial status, JR!

Like I said, our cases are similar but till my notes are out before they know what step to take.

bollybeejay:

First of all you can't come to fact that the usage of your uncle faulted your application
Secondly don't make any attempt to backdate or alter any statement of account for the purpose of deceiving the system as such could result in being found inadmissible in Canada and could result in a ban
Like you have stated if you can prove your relationship with your uncle and your uncle can show commitment by sending your living expenses into your account and also prove the existence of his business that will go a long way, you can also use your mom as a co sponsor to your application. If it's really necessary to sell a land of that amount you must be able to explain the source of the funds with proofs eg proof of sales of the landed property with deed of agreement and land sale receipt but if your uncle and your mom are used rightly you might not need to sell the land. Just make sure every lump sum are also explained.it will end in praise

First of all you can't come to fact that the usage of your uncle faulted your application
Secondly don't make any attempt to backdate or alter any statement of account for the purpose of deceiving the system as such could result in being found inadmissible in Canada and could result in a ban
Like you have stated if you can prove your relationship with your uncle and your uncle can show commitment by sending your living expenses into your account and also prove the existence of his business that will go a long way, you can also use your mom as a co sponsor to your application. If it's really necessary to sell a land of that amount you must be able to explain the source of the funds with proofs eg proof of sales of the landed property with deed of agreement and land sale receipt but if your uncle and your mom are used rightly you might not need to sell the land. Just make sure every lump sum are also explained.it will end in praise

May Canada favor you! I have a question, is it okay to print a Nigerian bank account statement of one’s sponsor to show proof of funds? Or does it have to be cash?
