But about the eligibility review it doesn’t mean they not processing the application.

I saw an application that was refused, the day they sent the refusal letter is when eligibility started and background check started when the biometric was done. The portal was updated the day they sent the refusal letter.

What I will suggest is raise a webform and remind of the application and that the medical has been done.

My option

NgumimiT:


We paid tuition for the first semester (8k)
He didn't transfer any funds to my account as it was in a fixed deposit account.

This process na grace and luck, but there are some things that are easy red flags.

Your Second semester and fees (11k) about 3.5 million. Your Living expenses (10k) about 3.5 million. The 6.5 million naira fixed deposits can not cover them. The next thing is if your sponsor have good income source that you can use to argue that your sponsor will continue to earn money to cover the balance and survive.

Also, if your sponsor is unable to transfer the money because it us in fixed deposit, then your visa officer will be right to think the money is not accessible to you.

I am just thinking out loud and guessing. All the best.

Hello Canadian aspirants,
There is this question I wish to address here, that people keep asking me and the question is why is my study visa application taking so long , what could be the reason behind it. At first I use to tell them that maybe it's bcus VOs got their hands full with applications and they should have more patience, bcus apps are processed badge by badge.
But then again I got to discover one of the reasons why some of our applications were delayed. Mind you, this information is base on my perspective and observation.

Whenever an applicant files in an application, the app goes through 2 vital stages at the embassy before a decision will be made and what are those 2 stages, am sure most of you know about this.
(a) Eligibility Review
(b) Background check

Now I will explain the in-depth aforementioned stages for your better understanding in order to clear the grey areas that may arise.

I will start with Background check/review.
Background review is a process whereby the embassy will carry out an investigation on an applicant by using the information the applicant provide with their record, in order to ascertain if the applicant have committed a crime before, refused a visa before, ordered to leave any country before and to find out if the said applicant will be a threat to their security or is on a wanted watch list in any country.
Background check comprises of 2 parts
(1) Standard Documentation check
(2)Security and Criminality check.

Standard Documentation check : This is the stage where the embassy verifies the applicant claims and the authenticity of the documents.
If the applicant case file is well presented and the VOs feels their is no need to scrutinize deeper, then there might be no requirement for the VO to start calling the applicant work employers, references e.t.c. I know your surprise that Vo use to call your employers at work, yes they do but in some cases.
The VOs have a way with that, they are experience enough to ascertain the logical disposition of every applicant case. But if the VO have any concerns, they will ask for additional documents, do further scrutiny by (Calling on phone, Visiting if the need arises)

(
(2) Security and Criminality check:
This stage is carried out by Canadian intelligence and security agencies and it is done with or without cooperation of the authorities of the countries the applicant lived in within the past few months or years and it is done Independently from Ircc.
Believe me when I say this, this task looks deep into your life, ircc may decide to check your social media platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) activities, associations to find out if you are/were involved or are/were associated in any way with anyone who is/was involved in espionage, terrorism, organised crime, crime against humanity or war crime.
It is at this stage that they can also find out if an applicant lied while filling their application form by clicking No, on the educational history on the form, that they have not acquired B.sc degree before while truthfully they are B.sc graduates.
Now the question is, how will they find out, VO will use your name to search for your account in any social media platforms.
The applicant that lied that he or she has not attained a B.sc level, in their Facebook account they will be careless enough to leave their university convocation pictures or any university pictures, NYSC pictures. Once the VO checks it and find out these information, it will be a big problem for the applicant.

This Security and Criminality check is a serious and time consuming stage and it involves many agencies like CSIS, INTERPOL, NASC, Database checking and Touch base with local police, many things are considered here like The Number of countries the applicant visited and verify if the applicant has any criminal record that may make them inadmissible to Canada.

(B) Eligibility Review: At this stage this is where your * LOA offered by the DLI * Prove of Fund * SOP * Home Ties * Evidence that you will exit the country e.t.c are subjected to scrutiny by the VO.
If after reviewing them and the applicant application meets the requirements of the IRCC ACT, then the VO will request the applicant to undergo Medical exam to complete the application..
It is in these Review of Eligibility that some applicants fail to meet bcus their application fail to meet up with Requirements for ircc act (Insufficient Fund, Course correlation, Limited Home Ties, Failure to convince the VO that the primary intention is to study)

In summary of all these I've written, as an applicant if your application have passed the normal processing time and your wondering what could be delaying embassy from finalizing your app, that thing delaying your app is (Background check)

Background Review is broad and time consuming and whenever an applicant have been to more than 2 or 3 countries or the nature of the applicant profession, that is the determining factor, the time length the application may take. If you ve been to more than 2 countries, VO will have to reach out to the Authorities in those countries and make enquiries about you and this might take awhile bcus the authorities in those countries will have to do their own digging and come up with information about you and share it with Canada, so imagine been in 3 countries, embassy will contact them to obtain infor about you and bliv me it will take time.
Although some countries don't share an in-depth details of an applicant to Canada bcus of their policy and the infor is Classified, but you see Canada and U.S.A they are blood brothers they share everything together.

So my brothers and sisters, whenever your application is taking so long, just know that the cause of it is your Background Check bcus your eligibility review doesn't take time, it's something that can be completed within 3 days or 1week top

Are you a self applicant or your brother will be your sponsor?
Is your brother married with Kids?

Your answers will determine how I will advise you as regards your situation..

As regards your proposed course of study, its on point as it relates with your 1st degree course of study...

Hi @makano please for someone like me I was refused based on personal assets and financial status. My sponsor was my uncle and he paid my full tuition and transferred my living expenses to me. Asides that I had my own personal funds of about 1.5m, landed documents in my name as so much more. I was shocked when I received my notes and the concern was that funds are available but he/she has concerns that it will be sufficient for mr during my entire course. Mind you my sponsor had over 40million in his account and no lump sum. How do I go about reapplying because I don’t know what else to submit.

Go there with your;
- Biometric Instruction Letter (1 copy)
- Appointment letter (1 copy)
- Your International Passport
- 2 Coloured Copies of your International Passport Data Page

(Print these documents before going to the Center, cos if u don't , u would be left with no choice than to print it at an outrageous amount at the center e.g Printing a document of #100 at #1000) grin

- Go with your NoseMask so you don't buy #50 nose mask for #500 cool

Note: Ignore any tout or anyone that comes to meet you or wants to convince you that you need Passport Photograph, it is not needed
