Hello to the gurus in the house.

Questions

1. For someone who is going for a bsc program and hasn't paid tuition deposit or fee and is using parents as sponsor, how much should be d minimum closing balance of their account?

I advice undergraduate applicants their sponsors should declare a bank statement with a closing balance of 17MILLION Naira. This amount is adequate to cover up for the student's first year tuition and living expenses in Canada

Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. After careful review of your study permit
application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet
the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and
Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application on the following grounds:
• 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 your personal assets and financial status.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can
demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be
accompanied by a new processing fee


How do i address this refusal, house pls advise. Was refused today applied Feb 28th.

I regret to hear that your study visa was refused, how were you able to establish your ties and personal financial establishment in your last application. Did you include documents like, property documents, proof of source of income from employment/business etc.

The visa officer wants to be reasonably convinced that you possess strong holdings in your home country that is possible to compel your return home after studies. From experience, this is one of the easiest refusal reason if you submit additional information/documents that will demonstrate the fact that you've true intentions of seeking a Canadian study permit.

Emmasonic4me:


This is not absolutely correct.

If you're self sponsored for more than one year program, you need to either show proof of fund for the entire duration of your studies (since you're not relying on the 20hrs/week work allowance to pay your fees) or you can show very convincing proof of source where the remaining year of study will be funded from. It's just a rational requirement.

Don't tell us someone has self sponsored and showed one year fund before. Such person might just be one of the lucky few with very lenient VO.

I wish everyone awaiting approval here success. For the ones that their applications were 'delayed', you'll definitely get there if only you don't give up. Keep pushing!

You're absolutely right!, this is one of the mistakes most individuals make in their respective applications. I remember I have addressed this question long time ago in 2016/2017 when we had to argue it amongst ourselves on this platform, the thread was bubbling then LOL .

For clarity purposes and for future readers:

"If you're self-sponsored, you're expected to show proof of funds for the entire duration of your program in Canada. Only on the account are you being sponsored by someone can you declare proof of funds for the first academic year". Please ladies and gentlemen on this platform take note of this and make the most of this advice in your application.

These IRCC guys are just making us to waste our money when it comes to GCMS notes. They no longer update notes when you still have active application in place. I have ordered for two notes since I applied in January 4th, 2022 . One came in March 4th and nothing was inside apart from medical and biometric passed and info sharing complete. No eligibility yet.
Ordered for another one on March 18 and it just arrived yesterday evening and same thing as the first one. Now making me to defer my admission to September 2022 as my school is billed to resume on the 9th of May

Halyshia:
1st time applicant
Application submitted- Aug 27th
Biometrics- September 1st
Then the long wait.....,.sent emails, got drained, fasted, prayed, cried, lol, I’m such a cry baby
Feb15th, I ordered for gcms note, raised webforms, messaged mp and sent multiple emails to different offices
Then on feb. 15th got a medical request
Booked for medicals on February 16th, didn’t get a slot till March 17th, too far, called qlife and asked for earlier date, couldn’t get a slot for except for March 10th, did my medicals, my medicals passed March 28th
Nothing after, got worried and hv been sending emails and webforms till last week that I got tired
And gbam ppr landed, thanks for everyone who has helped me in me in one way or the other...I pray every other person waiting for ppr would testify too ijn

Congratulations

It is the time your flight is expected to arrive in Canada. Use the time on your ticket.

Semtu:
Please, is the 72 hours to fill ArriveCAN calculated as to when I board my flight in Nigeria or the time I arrive at the port of entry in Canada?

Oh thank you so much

CentennialGuy:


Don't worry, it will come with your email for LOA. The LOA will come at the most in 3 business days after payment was made.

I was concerned about this too. Thanks for the clarity.
What about for a 1+1 program, is it also counted as 2 yrs? I applied for a bundled 1+1 PGCs running concurrently and the LOA states study duration is going to be 2 years…does IRCC also expect that I show funds for the second PGC even though I could decide not to do it after completion of the first PGC?

Wait o

Is it that the money will be left in the account till the completion of the visa process or just to print account statement for the interview?

makano:
Like I said earlier, this is easy to tackle..

Just follow the instructions I gave in my earlier quote to your post, also lets wait for your GCMS notes to drop, this will further guide you in the right direction in tackling the concerns of the Visa officer..

Peace

The GCMS notes is out: Here is the comment - Taking the applicant's plan of study into account, documents
submitted show some funds seem available, but there are concerns the funds would be sufficient and available for the whole course.
I am not satisfied that the proposed studies would be reasonable expense
weighing the factors in this application. I am no statisfied that the applicant will depart canada at the end of the period authorized for their stay.

Hello Nyaoffiong,

These are just generic reasons. You ought to have ordered your note to know of VO's comment. Nevertheless, you can still order it now to have a full view(s) of the refusal.

But situation you cant wait for note, you really need to work on your home ties to Nigeria. Ties that will warrant you to come back after studies

Hi Ketima

Hello Mr Frankrobbn1 , with regards to the bolded, could youexplain that? How does submitting additional supporting documents to boost your application lead to a refusal? Are these documents submitted with the application or uploaded after via webforms?

Or i read it wrongly.

Kindly clarify the house sir

Good morning house, please do any one knows the cost of authentication of documents at the Canadian Embassy.

It's been 8 years since you finished HND. It's advisable to go with a program more in line with your most recent work experience.
Although you're going for a course that relates with your last academic qualification. You have a long study gap. I believe a well detailed study plan might suffice if you choose to proceed with cyber security. But the safer option is to go for a program that complements your work experience. You'd stand a better chance if you do.

1. Use both your diploma and work experience since they are related or even the same. This shows that you are fully focused on this career path. If the course you're applying for in NBCC is advanced diploma, that's even better. Because It's easier for even a blind VO to see the Academic & Career Progression in your application. Btw, make sure you write a convincing SOP in regards to this and ensure you touch other parts of your application as well e.g. Home/economic ties, POF, etc

2. I'd advise you not to use 2 sponsors, most times, the VO sees it as being weak financially/ economically hence having to combine sponsors. So you can use anyone but ensure you use the one that best fits in after considering the available balance, landed properties, etc If your mum meets all these, I think she'd be the better sponsor.
