Hello everyone… please can an Agency still be scam even after you have gon for biometrics?

Good day to each and everyone on this faceless platform that has done wondrous things for people in the past and still is doing so now. I read some mind opening details about study permits on a blog based in canada and I would like to share. If you'd like to read these chronicles yourself I'll drop the link at the end of this write up. In essence I'll summarize what you should keep at the back of your mind concerning the student visa processing according to VANCOUVER IMMIGRATION BLOG and maybe these findings will help with how we view these operations.

1.) Not all DLI are treated the same by IRCC. DLI'S with better reputation gives candidates an edge in securing their visas i.e UNIVERSITIES HAVE BETTER REPUTATIONS THAN COLLEGES.

2.) Dual intense is acceptable but it could be a reason for rejection if the VO senses the applicant has a single intent(no intention to return). even if an application qualifies for the visa.

3.) if you are student from a refusal producing county e.g Nigeria, You need to demonstrate you're bona fide candidate. i.e scholarships, prove of adequate finance and even with all these it's still by CHANCE you'll be able to secure a visa.

4.) don't be fraudulent in any way especially with banks/creditors who are willing to bend the rules to assist you. same thing with language tests. you will be caught.

5.) IRCC informs the VO'S of the fraud level relating to immigrantion of certain countries i.e Nigeria. With this information in mind your application is under more scrutiny and the VO'S also keep in mind that the larger percentage of applications coming from that country is going to be a refusal.

6.) you could have the best grades and best stories and you will still be refused as 50-60% of applications will be refused. where will these refusals come from?. it's very unlikely it'll be from france,UK or US. ITS from 3rd world countries like nigeria and india e.t.c

7.) your application is decided using a microsoft excel spread sheet. with this method your pre-assesment(whatever you filled on your IMM FORM) will be very important to making decisions on your profile. this method also helps the VO'S work faster although there's a possibility that IRCC is changing to an AMAZON based system of operation.

8.) The process involved in processing your visa application is 50% A.I driven. it is said that these applications are divided into 3 group most likely by the A.I. 'The simple case file', 'The fairly difficult' and 'the Complicated case files'. the files in the complicated case files are most likely going to be refused. at least 80% of them.

9.) Reasons for refusal are documented only after refusal and I mean the ones you see on your notes. even with this, the reasons documented on your notes are thinned out as well. the bulk of the information is retained on IRCC internal systems.

10.) due to the high rate of applications everything happens by chance and the best way to push luck in your favor is to set your application in such a way that the most important pieces that can convince the VO'S are put first in your file. I.e puting your SOP as the first document in your proof of finance column.

PPR Just landed for my family. Study for me and SOWP my wife. June 23 applicant. Details later

Good day everyone, please where do I make payment for my Visa, there was a charge back and now I want to pay for myself do I go to the website to check for the payment details?

Munamoqel:
I have sent over 100 mails including to the prime minister and they routed my last mail to the IRCC Minister but yet no respond .I now seek a closure cos of the uncertainty has deprived me of taking up my admission to the UK. I have lost trust in their process and integrity of the system. any respond will be fine by me positive or negative .

Send another one to them copy all the emails (minister,mp,etc but this time tell them their lack of decision is affecting your mental health and that your life is in limbo cos you have committed considerable resources to get SP.

KellyKk:

We have warned you several times without number on this platform stay away from Wokostravel! When you hear woko it means fraud

I just joined this platform… I wish I had an idea of it earlier

Enjay316:
ahhh.woko travels.one chance oooo.they are fraudulent .we have had ppl on previous thread report them in this forum.make sure u get ur GCkey and take charge. There was a time he used one bank statement for different ppl.one of them had procedural fairness letter and they never told the applicant. he was later banned.there are also issues of charge back.be careful with wokos travel oooo

Please do I request for my GCKey from the agent…what else can I do please cos my chats are not delivering and he’s not picking up at d moment

Log in to IRCC website and search online payment it will take you page where you select temporary residence and study permit payment

Enick:
I doubt if this is the actual reason for the refusal. He or she should apply for GCMs note to determine the exact reason for refusal. This because on this platform, we have seen people with less amount and some have not even made deposit for school fees, yet got their application approved.

Yes,he mentioned they have applied for the notes,we are only sharing our thoughts

good day i plan to travel soon to brandon manitoba i need help on how to search for a house so i can get one before leaving

Hello house, good day all. Please If I land in Canada on a student’s VISA, can I invite my mum to come visit me?

Thanks.

Please is there any October Applicant here.

I sent you a mail, do respond or mail me back

I've been unable to reply or comment on nairaland for almost 2 weeks now.

So here is me dropping my testimony of PPR.

I've been a silent follower of this thread and I have gained so much from it

Application date: may 17th

Biometric collection request: May 18th 2021

I did my biometric a week later and IRCC refused to update my biometric ( I was really worried )

July 8th biometric updated to passed ( after raising webform)

Upfront medical: August 5th

Medical passed: August 12

Started raising webform everyday ( there was no change on my eligibility review, background check)

On September 27th elegibility review started and my medical was updated to passed for the second time

Bvl and PPR dropped on September 30th

Just want to God and the good people of nairaland. The wait was very exhausting but still, it's worth it.

For those still waiting for PPR, just chill and believe

Lemme add this

First time applicant

I had no traveling. In fact my passport was collected December last year solely for this Canada parole

Went for an undergraduate degree in Computer science even though I had a National Diploma in Civil engineering Technology

Waooooo, congratulations dear, victory at last

How many weeks does it take before they start to review the eligibility of a first time applicant?
Just thinking out loud.

onyinyeehC:
it is so funny how you got your ppr a month a ago. Now they ask you to share your timeline(details). You are replying will be done in due time... I have never seen a selfish reply ever.. you benefited and also want to benefit more, yet sharing your details is still a difficult task for you. Good luck.

Wow! Why so bitter? For me to ask about means of submission shows that I am still in the process. Situations differ.Hence my response.

Tinakem:

Well deserved.
Congratulations
