Hmm.....I can't wait to share mine




[quote author=Lekiboboe post=104782495]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.

Have u sent a messages to the IRCC centers via Emails and also Webforms? If not, you have to start doing that..

In addition, since you said your resumption date is getting clsoe, you can as well send a message to a MP of a province where your school is located...

Send at least 5 messages everyday to the IRCC center via Emails and Web-forms until you get a response from IRCC...

PEACE

I have a valid Canadian visa and a US visitor visa, I have applied for student visa since May with no update to my application, please what is the chance of getting feedback from VO before start of class September 2021. should I cancel this application then travel to us to apply from there?

Hello Unbin,

Do not cancel. The delay is not restricted to one geographical region only but general. The least you could do now why you stay patient is requesting your notes.

Best of Luck

Thank you, any specific idea on how to draft the letter of explanation for not writing the IELTS?

Greetings from Nigeria,

Thank you for reaching out to me.
Attached below is MyBankStatement certificate. However, I am unable to register for an IELTS test as examination dates have been fully booked way beyond the deadline.
I hereby request that my application be processed accordingly through the regular channels.

Hi Ppr hopefuls!
I will reapply as soon as my gcms notes for my refused app comes out.
In my first app, my uncle was d main sponsor; my mum was the co-sponsor.
Now, though my gcms notes is not yet out, I dont want to use my uncle again, coz I know his acct statement must have faulted in one way or the other, considering the fact that I didn't show his source of income, proof of relationship in my first app, and he is also a third party.
Would it be a red flag of I use my mum only in my second app?
Secondly, my mum doesn't have the required money to show proof of fund, but she wants to sell a land for 12m.
Should she go ahead and sell d land so as to use it as a proof of fund?
Or
Should someone we know, a bank manager, help fund her account with 15m, and backdate it? This one dey come wth commission ooo...up to 600k commission.
Pls, would it also be a red flag if she does d second one, considering that she didn't have up to 3m in her account in my first app?
I just don't want my uncle as my sponsor again; although he has enough money...I do not feel like using him.
Finally, in this my second app, should I write SOP or LOE? Which one?
Tnx a bunch 4 ur answers.
Pls, @shupy @Lekiboboe @justmellow @frankrobbn @anon...and others, I need your help.
Tnx again.

Hello Jioke1994,

There is certain information you don't post publicly. I will only be able to share my contribution on some excerpts.

Going by the provided information, your financial situation is weak whether or not the landed property was sold to raise funds. A strict officer might use other financial and economic establishment grounds to critically assess your or your family's level of establishment.

However, a friendly officer will not want to see beyond the readily available funds raised from the sales as long as credible and verifiable evidence is included, with some good explanations to help the officer understand that the money is not borrowed or arranged.

In my opinion, keep your Uncle as your principal sponsor and your mom as a supporting sponsor. If the property can be sold for NGN 12m (quoting you), during payment, give the buyer two account payment details.

The sum should be split into two payment halves. One part goes into your account to be used for the application process with a payment description as landed property sales "payment" whilst the other goes to a second that has no connection to your application.

From the second payment, pay your first-year tuition and have the balance in a fixed deposit. Submit the fees payment receipt, the fxd., and the primary account the other half went into. Use a letter to give a constructive explanation of the origin of the funds in the account stating that it will be to cover your first and second year living expenses (if the program is 2 years). Provide justifiable evidence for the funds' origin.

Then your uncle can give you a sponsorship letter couple with his financial and economic documents and any relevant documents to meet the IRCC study permit requirement. So doing, your mom can just give you a Letter of Support stating she will offset your itinerary and flight cost couple with other relevant economic documents aside from her financial record.

OR

After selling the landed property, have it paid into your account with a land sales payment description. Ensure you get evidence from the buyer even if it means asking a lawyer to draft and authenticate an Attestation of Property Purchase between the seller and the buyer to support other sales documents available.

The tone of the letter should be the buyer acknowledging the purchase. Then the Attestation of Property Sales should be for the seller. Both copies can be included coupled with other available, and supporting evidence.

From the lump sum, pay for your first tuition fees and include a constructive letter to explain the lump sum and origin of the funds. If your program is for 2-years, point to the attention of the officer that the available money is sufficient to offset the complete length of study in Canada.

Your mom can furnish you with a Letter of Support demonstrating the commitment to offset your itinerary and flight cost. This way, you can be a self-sponsored applicant. However, the burden is for you to demonstrate that you have a reliable source of income and are economically established in your country.

Best of Luck

Ok.
But, if u don't mind...
How did u prove home ties in your approved app?
Pls, advise me oooooo

Our circumstances are different. I did use family but I didn't emphasize too much on it. I only stated "I come from a close knit family and all members reside in Nigeria".
I focussed more on establishments that were already in place and most importantly the career outlook of whatever program you're going for must be connected to Nigeria. In my SOP, one will actually think I will be better off returning to Nigeria than staying in Canada after my studies. Your future prospect in Nigeria must be promising.

May 5th, I got NSE request which I ignored.

July 28th, I wrote a short LOE on why I couldn't provide the documents requested and uploaded them in their respective boxes.

August 10th, I got a mail on an update, logged into GCKEY, and saw “We are reviewing the additional documents you provided”

Does this mean they are working on my file or they are just using me to catch cruise?

Hello Toopee,

When IRCC receives a requested document, the column tends to display the review of the document. In some cases, the eligibility review will change back to processing.

They are working on your application, consider it as an active review.

Best of Luck

Hello, please while answering the questions at the beginning of creating a GC key account, is it advisable to state you have a family member in cad, even though i didn't mention something like that in my SOP?

And mind you, this is someone i will likely to stay with over there.
Should i just say No

Hello Emmalextemtop,

If the family member is an extended family, then the question is not for you for as long as you did not mention the family member in your application or no sponsorship support is being rendered by the family member.

Best of Luck

thank you so much big bro.it is the issue of lump sum that is making me to name him as my sponsor cos the VO may want to know my Domiciliary account history if I purchased a GIC using funds from there and that is where the lump sum comes in. that's y I want to name him as a co sponsor or supporting sponsor.as for the 9.5m .I have a wife and son that I am leaving behind and my wife's account is so poor ,I cant even submit it.though I am planning to submit an employment letter for her and probably work ID but since I am not submitting her statement of account, it's better I have a healthy balance. what do u think bro?

Hello Enjay316,

The onus is on you to demonstrate with substantial proof how your family will financially cope in your absence. It is on you also to help the officer understand that the study will not be at the expense of your family's well-being.

Demonstrate the economic level of establishment of your spouse and include proof of source of income.

Best of Luck

Hello bosses.. Pleaseni have two questions.

1. Hello, Good afternoon.

I have been granted Visa to do a Master Course in Ukraine but the issue is, I don't know if I can apply for Ph.D in Canada after my Master program in Ukraine? How possible is this?

2. During my stay/study in Ukraine, can I apply for visiting Visa to go stay with my uncle for at least 3 months then come back to Ukraine?

The answer to both of your questions is YES.

1. You need to start as early as possible to start applying if you want to study in Canada.

Your master's degree certificate may not be ready, but you can get a conditional offer, so that upon finishing your masters degree then you just send them your certificate.

2. Concerning applying for a visiting visa to stay with your uncle in Canada, Ukraine has nothing to do with it. So it's possible. It is the Canada embassy in Ukraine that will give you a visiting visa.

Just make sure you meet the required attendance of your school in Ukraine, if not you may have problems renewing your visa.

Hello, house please I need school that didn't ask for tuition deposit in canada for (undergraduate admission)

What do you mean by tuition deposit?

Normally, schools don't ask you to pay tuition until you arrive.

If you get an email asking you to pay a deposit as school fees, it is probably a scam. Be careful.
