Why are you regretting ?
Where are you rushing to ?

I’m one of the New Portal tester but I have my reason for using Old.

There’s no late comer. Jan applicant on old portal got PPR recently. So what’s your rush?
Just keep the faith.

I am keeping it too…

Yes I’m keeping it sir

It will end in praise for all of us

This is my first time to see PFL for fraudulent employment letter. Frequently heard in tourist visa application because many agent use the same letter to apply for thousands of persons.

Your best bet now is you ask the HR and any director(attach CAC document and identification as evidence of share capital ) to write a letter acknowledging the fact that the individual is employed by the company and often receive monthly salary. You will also have to produce history of PAYEE deduction from salary, Salary Account. If the individual can produce government issued Payee Tax certificate, it would be great.

Good day guys..

How can someone defend a PFL as a result of claimed fraudulent employment letter?

NB: both company names are genuine.

I dont really understand though, the employment letter was not stamped(he can get it stamped) but asides that, is there anything else?

Stamping is not the issue.
I’ve worked with 3 companies and I just checked, None of my employment letters were stamped.

Something must be wrong somewhere.
Probably they called someone who claimed He or She is Ghost.
Kindly investigate from the applicant vividly…
Then next step can be taken from there…
If Genuine truly, then a letter from the HR with proofs of payments from company and other available documents of company should solve.

Regards.

University of New Brunswick (UNB) No tuitton fee payment or deposit

Thank you and God bless

Bobomaigida:


First thing is to sort out your proof of funds, because you need to have this in place considering you would have to get statement of account to show this for 4 -6 months, then you need to start applying to schools, but take note of the programme start times and tuition payable as well refund policy and then start writing your Statement of purpose because this document would be what the VO will be using to judge your application
After getting admission, then you start getting your documents together, then apply and start praying

Wait for other contributions

All the best

I can't thank you enough for your kind response..
Now I see that I have been putting cart before the horse.

Thank you so much.

Good news guys, my PPR just came in at 7:46am this morning. It can only be God, I am still in shock. My story is a special one, my Bachelors is Law, I have an LLB, BL (Law School), and Masters in International Business, but I applied for Diploma, not even Post Graduate Diploma, but Diploma in Digital Business Management. I wasn't even aware of this forum when I applied in September, I just followed a YouTuber (Noel Abingwa) and learnt the steps and documents needed when applying for my visa through one of his Videos. I contacted him and he was kind enough to share his statement of purpose/ letter of explanation with me. As I started getting anxious, I decided to join this forum 30th December and it was so encouraging because I kept getting alot of support, more especially from @Makano.

I got this message below from Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship's Office, on the 18th of February 2022

IRCC records confirm that your application was received on September 6, 2021, and is being processed at the Canadian visa office in Nairobi. Criminality checks and medical examination results are passed, however, further review is required before an eligibility decision is made. This means that the case is no longer straightforward and will, in most situations, lead to additional delays in processing. Once a decision has been made, officers will be in a position to determine next steps in processing

Thank you for answering my questions, more especially in the past two days after the message I got above.

@Makano encouraged me that "If truly you are truthful with your application and you didn't hide any information from them, then expect a positive decision from them"

Thank you @PatrickOkunima @olasubomy @mrprolifik @VIKKYIFE @Teemenzo @Time2soar1 @Predator188 who helped give me answers to my posts as well.

I even ordered for GCMS notes on the 4th of January but its still not out.

My Time Line

Submission/AOR 6th September 2021
Medicals Passed 25th October 2021
1st Ghost update November (Not sure of exact date)

Good evening everyone, please can someone help me with the link to IOM for medicals booking. Thank you.

Ask if truly the person submitted a fake employment letter or not..

I just reponded to a similar PFL from an applicant some minutes ago, and he confirmed he submitted a fake employment letter and I told point blank that there is nothing I can do, cos I do not involve myself in fake documentations, and possibly nothing can be done since he admitted it was fake he submitted..

So ask the applicant very well, if he didn't submit a fake Employement letter , then there is a way out..

Where is your fact to the bolded..

Please put your points on fact and not assumptions..

Personally, I haven't used the new portal yet, I still make use of the GCkey for the applications I handle, and I get approvals steady...

Like I said in my earliest posts as regards these portals , no one is better than the other.. Just use the one you most comfortable with..

I am very comfortable with the GCkey portal and I still use it till tomorrow , the new portal is also good cos we have also seen approvals here with the new portal..

Let's be guided..

Peace

LONG POST ALERT
This testimony is on behalf of my wife, who is a silent member of this forum and has been following this thread consistently since Part 19. The Canada journey started in 2019. We started with the EE route by doing WES and writing IELTS, but due to age, we couldn't gather the needed points. Getting PNP also became difficult. So, in 2021, we decided to focus fully on the study route. As such, my spouse and I devoted time to gathering knowledge from this thread. The biggest challenge we had was how to convince the VO on her choice of program (Master of Organizational Management) considering her career as an Auditor in the public service with previous degrees in Accounting( 1st) and Policy Analysis (MSc). She also had lump sum deposits into her account. However, we took another 3 months to systematically build her account as a self-sponsored applicant and also gave detailed explaination on every lump sum deposits in a separate LOE. So, after settling for Crandall (she got admission into many colleges) we eventually submitted her application (alongside a visitor visa application for my son.

Thank you sir

Please is 8m proof of funds enough for student visa and sowp.
The uni cost 5 million per year

sinorte:
It's a choice to start over or not, but I wouldn't advise that you open a new request. I'll rather suggest you fund the account adequately and follow up with a visit to the bank.

Please note that unless you have so much money in your account, you may not be able to move funds from your account until your account has been fully debited for the Form A transaction. The reason is because you may not really be able to pre-determine when the bank would want to debit your account and complete the transaction, and you wouldn't want your account to be met unfunded of course.

Thank you very much.
I have funded the account again…. Which rate(CAD) do you suggest I use to estimate the amount that is to be in my Acct? I am expected to pay 9,122.08 CAD

Hello and congrats to you.

I'm also applying to UCW (MBA). Below is the POF I'm targeting:
Tuition 36,840CAD (N12mm)
Living Costs 1yr 10,000CAD (N3.3mm)
Naira equiv. N15,258,598

I have 2 options of funding.

The 1st and preferable is to be my own sponsor, but with receipt of bulk of the funds as lumpsum into my account from a non-relative. I might not have enough time to allow 4 months before applying for visa. What documents would I require to explain the lump sum.

My 2nd option is to use a sponsor, who is not related to me. Is this possible?
The sponsor lives and runs his company in the UK. What documents would I require of him to provide?

Will appreciate your kind feedback.

AFTER 2DAYS of posting this



LONGGGGGG POST ALERT!!!

Guys I really do not know where to start from!
I'm short of words. God's just too good to fail.
I'm still in shock cause I can't really fathom why my application was this quick or why I was just favoured, but I give God all the glory! For he alone is to be praised!

I've been following this thread for about 4yrs now. Just observing with no plans to submit my application. Was just here for the information basically, and to read people's process (which I enjoyed doing) didn't even know I'd eventually apply.

Time came for me to apply, I was scared to the Bone! I was scared to doing it myself! My sponsor (brother) literally begged me to look for an Agent to handle my application, I was skeptical at first, but I succumbed cause I didn't want any issue or stories that touch.

I contacted an agent on this platform, he charged me 150K for admission and 250K for Visa. My sponsor agreed to pay for the first stage (admission). Las las I eventually paid 190K for only admission!!! Only school admission ohhh!!!

Then it was time for Visa Application, and I was told Visa Fee has increased to 300K. And I was like hell No!!! I no go school? Am I daft? No! I can do this shi# myself. 300K no be 300 naira.

That's how it began, took a leap of faith and decided to do and handle my Visa Process myself, and God blessed me with the GOLDEN Mail (PPR)! Guys please do this stuff yourself!
You can do it! Yes YOU! You can!
There's nobody else that cares about your application than you! You don't need any agents NAIRALAND is the real deal! NAIRALAND taught me everything I know and used to get my Approval.

I'm a FIRST TIME APPLICANT, my timeline goes thus, I used the NEW PORTAL,

Then a good man, a blessing, friend turned brother, a brother from another mother, Teemenzo (God bless you for me brother, he has always been with me from the beginning of my application) adviced me to send a mail to Abuja which I did, I eventually, reluctantly sent to everybody (London, Nairobi, Lagos, Abuja) yesterday, 26th of January just to disturb then.

I'd also like to use this medium to appreciate Teemenzo and EyinjuGod. God bless you guys again for everything. You were with me from the start to the end. I'm rooting for you both. My prayers aren't complete yet, till y'all get your PPR's

I also want to appreciate Makano for the series of questions of mine he answered. God bless you boss. Ketima, thank you for always assisting and encouraging everyone. You actually encouraged me to do this myself and I appreciate, Scotisshh (dunno if I got the spelling correctly) your testimony dey come. Lianna aka Rela, thank you for your encouraging email replies.
I also want to thank you all, my fellow Nairalanders for the congratulatory messages and mentions.

If I decide to reply all mentions, I might fill up 5pages of this new thread. God bless you all. I'd also be here to congratulate y'all when your turn comes. All of us go enter this Canada! That's for sure!

BTW, I'm for University Canada West, April intake.
Going for MBA Business Administration. I'm open to connecting with my fellow UCW students or anyone going to Vancouver by April.

Make i stop here. Story don too plenty!
Thank you again guys. God bless us all.!

An Affidavit wouldn't wave away the suspicious that a fake employment letter was submitted. It doesn't work that way.

Good day all,
Kindly avail me visa thread to US on study route if there is any.
Or better still avail me site that can educate someone to successfully prepare for US student visa interview.

Congrats to you

Please, must my sponsor be related to me?
The sponsor lives and runs his company in the UK. What documents would I require of him to provide?

Note : my gcsmnotes I ordered stated insufficient proof of third party sponsorship . I came to nairaland to ask for what I should do . I was asked to act fast on it because it is very close to a refusal but God doesn’t fail. Nairaland gurus told me to fire back using email and webform this thing actually works most important the general webform which make you know that they have received your enquiry.
*Letter of explanation explaining the relationship between I and my sponsor why he would what to sponsor me .
*I stated that his children are grownups and successfully established in their careers so he doesn’t have major financial responsibility towards them
*birth certificate of my grand uncle and my grandma,
*family tree,
*old pictures of my grand uncle and grand ma ,
*recent pictures of my grand uncle and I on my Graduation day
*Receipt of my full year tuition fees,
*stating that GIC account will be created for me once my visa is approved
Also, all glory and honour to God that made this possible because this application is far from perfect . “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:5‬ ‭NIV‬.
With prayer and fasting the application was approved. Also , trust God while waiting because I was so discouraged when I come to nairaland and I see most application with uncle sponsorship are not approved even those with same surnames talk less of me that it is grand uncle with different surname from mine.
I told God that I want my application to be different with this grand uncle sponsorship. I want to give a testimony of grand uncle sponsorship because what’s impossible with man is possible with God.
Also, while waiting try to distract yourself from thinking of it because it really affects one’s mental especially. The waiting period is not easy but it will be easier if you have faith in God . I joined NLP by pastor b which made me closer to God and speak to God about my application.
In the mighty the name of God , those that are planning to submit their application and people waiting for a decision to be made on their application they will get a positive decision very soon in Jesus name because mark 11:24 “That what ever you ask in prayers believe you have receive it and it is yours”Also ,remember “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11‬ ‭.
Thank you so much nairalanders always answering my questions especially @ makano , @scott9ish , @anon123 , @liana2020 @justmellow ( who said he his looking forward to my testimony here is it ) and others that I forgot to mention .I really appreciate. I hope this helps someone.

Hi house, is there anybody who has gotten admission into a graduate program in memorial university of newfoundland or who is a current graduate student in the university? I want to apply to the school for winter intake, but I need guidance on documents required. On the admission requirements portal, I was told to upload official transcript, but my school here only send official transcript through courier, same as proof of English proficiency. Please someone should kindly enlighten me about it, thanks.
