I was just refused based on personal assets and financial status. I own 4 lands, 2 houses and submitted a one year bank statement of 21 million closing balance. I paid 9600 cad of my school fees which is one term. It’s a one year course… my company cac, letter of introduction, id was submitted. I’m so lost right now

so sorry for the delay, order for your GCMS notes first.

kennyjoy:


Ok thank bro, and yes I’m using ilovemyPDF, but some of my docs are 1MB and when I compress them they are still legible. What if I compress PDF with larger file and still legible after process. Does it make sense that way?

if u feel it's still legible ,then go ahead bros.

I was rejected visiting visa in 2019 for travel history purpose. I made sure I fixed all corners now. This is so sad man, the reason for refusal is so vague

Ketima:
It was a funfair of PPR so far. Wishing you all PPR. Lord remember Iffylove, Teemenzo, Tinankem to mention but a few and many more awaiting the joy of PPR.


SweetJJ, I'm waiting for landing gist oooo

Amen ooooo, the wait is killing

Teeprecious:
Hello guys, thank God for me. I got my PPR this afternoon,apparently it's been sitting in my mail since 3.30pm but I had a busy day at work. After work,I went for a program in my church. It was when we closed I checked my phone and realised I had a message in my Gmail.
Lo and behold...there sat my approval since 3.30pm this afternoon.
This was a reapplication and in my previous application, the VO showed concerns about my funds stating he perceived it was for demonstration purpose only(I saw this in my GCMS notes.
Timeline below:
Application submission: 14th sept
BVL and PPR: 27th Oct.
I saw only one ghost update and eligibility never started till after PPR sef.

Since the concern was mainly on finance,all I did was pay a year tuition as against the initial tuition deposit I paid. I perceived that if I claimed I was self sponsored and the money accessible to me,why pay the minimum which was the tuition deposit?
I only submitted MBS for my pof,snip shot of my student account showing one year tuition,upfront medical,IELTS,LOE and new LOA.

Special thanks to all the gurus and everyone taking their time to answer the numerous questions here. For everyone expecting,God will make it speedy and easy for you.

Congratulations Teeprecious

Winnn:
It's PPR l!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God of signs and wonders!

Congratulations I rejoice with you
The joy of PPR shall not elude us this year

All the best!!!


[quote author=HakHim post=107125431]Hello good morning everyone good morning to all the gurus as well.

It will be a long post and please I really need guidance and help/ advice.

Kindly read.

I have gotten two refusals.

My first application.....

I applied first early this year. Self sponsored. 18M in three banks all statements attached, but had lump sum deposit in one of them (sold some assets).

HERE WAS THE REFUSAL REASONS

"I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based in your family ties in Canada and your country of residence."

"I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR based on personal asset and financial status."

REQUESTED GCMS....

HERE IT IS......

PA is self funded. Employment letter shows PA makes 16,000 annually. Funds provided are not commensurate to PA income. Transaction on bank statement shows lump sum deposit. Source of funds unknown. Concerns about funding. Bank statement to be verified.

{[/b] please note that in my SOP I stated there the businesses that I do I attached CAC OF MY COMPANY I ALSO PUT THE RECEIPT OF ALL EQUIPMENT THAT I HAVE FOR MY BUSINESS, so my only source was not just my salary, but I think I was judged based on only my salary as my only source of income}[b]

HERE IS THE REPORT FROM IMMIGRATION AND BORDER

Boss please I'll advise you not to compare your application with others. I'll advise you wait for your notes. Since you addressed the finances the last time maybe the VO has a different problem. I learnt from SHUPY that sometimes your family alone can't be your ties. You can also demonstrate ties by talking extensively about the employment prospects in Nigeria as that what he did. He didn't submit land document and wasn't married. I'm not even sure he had siblings. All the same don't compare your application. Do your ultimate best and God will crown your efforts.

HakHim:


For the home ties.... I used my parents, my siblings and also my fiancé as home ties also includes pictures of the both of us in there. And why I will want to come back to meet her after my study....I also included landed properties.... Also the business I am just starting.... About the school fees payment... The school requested I pay for first semester yes I could have paid full tuition but then we still have folks who didn't even make tuition deposit and got PPR....

Yes that's what my agent told me. He said they gave him 1 month to provide it.

Lianna2020:
First time I’d be hearing this!.
Are you sure the request is from ircc?

PapaObi:
When I did my 1st application in 2018, I paid my first semester school fees and my sibling a Canadian citizen was my sponsor and I was refused based on ties, travel history, purpose and assets. I didn't order my GCMS notes after going through this thread because most of what the GCMS would say is already available here. I reapplied this year. See what I did different.
I applied for a master's not PGD in which this time I did not pay any school fees but I showed home ties. I now have a child and I am engaged. Showed pictures and child birth certificate. Showed that my child and his mom are well established. Showed pictures of my parents properties and showed that I stand to inherit them and that was it . Note, they said they don't consider your course of study a reasonable expense. What did you graduate with and what are you applying for? Does it tally with work experience and or your educational background? Answer this question first. And as for the bank statement, you see this lump sum thing is two ways. If the lump sum came in today and then you apply for a visa they would see it as a red flag. I had lump sum, the difference is my lump sum came in February and when I applied in July the money was still there. What this shows is I didn't borrow it because who will borrow me 7million and leave it with me for 5months. I hope this helps a little.
Regards

Can I appy for a masters with a 2.2

Brother your profile looks good. Order your notes to know the exact reason for refusal.we can't tell the exact reason you were refused without it.

This medicals you are doing, were you sent a new medical request or you choose to fulfill all righteousness ?

Ye. My medical will expire in April. I will be doing another medicals by March[/quote]

Hello Canadaboy

I wonder why Canada would refuse it's boy..

Order for your GCMS notes, if you sit up and address the concerns of the Visa Officer, I see you getting your Visa in your next application..

Peace

I believe it's a good sign. They want to give you PPR but they might need to confirm whether your SOA is legitimate. Send them the requirements exactly as they want it. From what you wrote na MBS they wan see. Congratulations in advance

Hello Oby

Yes you can, but your chances are slim, truth be told. Masters is always competitive between 1st class and 2:1 graduates..

Applying for a PGD wont be a bad idea..

Hello

Outside the large pages you have to scan in your statement of account, what are the other benefits of using MBS over SOA?

If MBS is used during application, can VO access details of your bank transactions beyond the period you submitted MBS?

Please somebody should answer me na!! Pleaseeeee

Majemitee:
Hello! Please I need the opinion of the experts in the house.

I started my studies online before my study permit came. During that period,I realized the program wasn’t what I had thought it was and I decided to switch programs (I’m yet to travel). Now the school didn’t switch me like they said and I had to apply for the new program afresh and now there seems to be some delay in them responding. Did I do something wrong by changing program of study?

Please how can I send my passport to Abuja
