Docs. submitted
All IMM forms
SOP - 13 pages long. paragraphed with subheads to address all eligibility review criteria as itemised in the IRCC portal and school immigration support port. (paid particular attention to why i am travelling with all family - argument based mostly on need to keep the family as a single well & tighty bonded unit, and potential damage to spouse & kids emotionally & mentally should the unit be seperated, since father is major provider, there is need for family to be with him for effective care & nuturing rather than remote attention etc.) family have taken multiple trips together (note also, wifey have a Canada Visitor Visa issued in Jan 2020 pre-covid which she did not use - i explained that since the covid restrictions she prefered to travel with her family and not to vacation alone anymore, added and explained all bills were paid for Child 3 US citizenship birthing. Employer approved unpaid study leave but i highlighted 100% re-absorption rate after studies on return back to active service.. .... and other plenty arguments i cant list here.

- Employer intro letter, pay stubs, emoluments, study leave (witout pay) approval letter

- 1 year MBS (salary account, personal savings account [naira / USD], spouse USD account, spouse naira savings account)

- POF: total CAD$80,000.00 living expense + tuition... Paid over 95% program Tuition fee (note that to secure my POF, i had my colleague recieve money from an extern unconnected support to pay the full tuition while i keep my own personal monies as POF for living expenses)

- explained lump sums: explain all lump sums payment into the account over the 1 year period. Note that my personal Naira account balance was N3,000+/- only as at 1 week to application. but my employer paid in over N13million which i explained as project funds returns with evidence. Spouse had incrasing savings of over US$20,000.00 in her personal account which i converted to Naira at black market rate (with explaination of our forex constraints) and converted to CAD$ at CBN rate (CAD1 - N325) based on policy for school living expense in order to increase the CAD$ POF statements.

- LOE: 8 pages where i detailed my US born child 3, attaching all his birthin receipts with zero balances to demonstrate non-indebtedness to the US government, explained other documented evidence attachments which could be included in the SOP due to 4MB limit & doc. legibility following compression, explaination of hometies with evidence of property valuation, child waitlisted primary school study, etc. lots of others i can not detail here.

* 1 week after application submission, i started firing emails to nairobi office & webforms (info gotten here from gurus... thanks again) requesting to update upfront medicals which they started updating kids one by one from 11th May.

* 4 weeks after application submission, i fired request for GCMS notes which haven't returned till today becuase it was delayed.

* 6 weeks after application submission, identified MPs within NB (info gotten from gurus... thanks again), and couple ignored, one rejected, one promised to get back but didnt, one replied and assisted in getting feedback from IRCC to reply after 2 weeks. replied after 3 weeks informing of application under eligibility review (that is 2nd week of July).

* 8 weeks after application submission, started firing emails and webforms to Nairobi, London, abuja, lagos, china, (info gotten from gurus... thanks again) 3 mails & webforms to each location per day requesting application status & decision.... no response or auto response.

* 12 weeks after application submission, Nairobi replied auto response to emails.... IRCC replied all webforms at once that applications under review

* 16 weeks after application submission, continued firing email & webforms, 1 each per day 2 times a week to Nairobi praying for consideration due to family size and close study resumption date.

* 16 weeks after application submission, Nairobi replied that application under review

* 17 weeks after application submission, Nairobi replied email that application in queue for processing _ (entered panic mode why queue matter again... lol) with notation that continued mailing their office won't lead to an expedited processing. fear catch me, i stopped emailing.

* Contacted school to request online study when semester starts in sept. 2022 as i cannot force IRCC hand again and not continue panicking myself (lemme not lie, i even tried to psyche myself away from reading successes and checking portal every hour but for where e no work...i dey sleep for NL and log in CIC portal every hour... lol).

* Today (24th Aug 2022) was forming tough guy not look check portal and NL, was in a meeting and decided to distracted myself from the long discussions, looked in my Gmail and behold, the "donotreply" mail... BP shot up, breathing held, tension raised, ... logged in portal, went straight to check Child 4 (youngest) account, and beholded, application approved... that is when i smiled and gatthered the liver to go and check wifey SOWP and other....

I may give you a small hint with Vfs global for paper based application same procedure applies for online applications

please what are the chances of getting a visa and job if I apply for the below part-time course or another 1 year part-time course

Please how did MP help?
I got someone to help send email to MP
Her reply is even more confusing
She said my eligibility has not started while on my profile eligibility started on 8th of August

I don't even know what to believe
Is it possible for eligibility to start on my profile and not started in their office

I don't understand IRCC

You can also get MP email from someone and ask him to help you on the update of your application at IRCC.

I too submitted on April 27 2022, and I got my PPR yesterday with the help of MP and the email I always send to IRCC twice in a day until yesterday.

Good Luck.

I will celebrate with you soon by the Grace of God.

Alternatively, please how could one track passport submission to VFS Abuja?

robertito7:
Hello Enddystar, I am in the same position with the issue about fees payment, but my problem is that the Tradesystem website requires an the Swift code of the recipient organisation which I currently don't have, can I mail you for assistance

Sure you can

Haba 20k extra is too much now

Anyways, you will pay 30k service charge on their site, then the rest is the chop chop for the person, but my I pay 10k + 30k then the man take me in for biometric and I got the certificate on the portal same day.
Because after the biometric the whatever head will have to approve before you get access to it on the portal.

Hello Moore

1. I have gotten Visa for applicants that submitted just Deed of assignments and survey plans, so Yes.

2. Yea.. If he has Intl Passport, then that will be an added advantage.

3. Degree certificate should be enough, you are applying for Visa and not Admission..

But if you have the transcript, then there is no harm in submitting both..

Peace

Please what of Deed of Assignment alone. I have 2 landed properties. I bought one from someone who had C of O in his name. I have not perfected it as i only have the deed conyeying transfer to me . The other is just a land with deed of assignment.

Must it have a survey for it to be acceptable as ties? Please urgent response will be highly appreciated.

bullstriker:
It is acceptable. It doesn’t have to come from the same account as the POF.

Thank you boss

Chocs:
Hi there,

There’s no rule that states that the GIC must reflect in your account, but please note that it’s still important to submit a solid statement of account from you or your sponsor in addition to the GIC.

Cheers

Yes the balance is good. Split in Fixed deposit and bare accounts.

Thank you for the response

Hello house

Omo no fastest for this one o, make your choice and proceed. The earliest the better especially if you have a deadline.

My initial dep took 25 days, balance payment took 35 days with Access.

Good luck.

Thanks for ur response..

Do you mean you were debited after 35 days by Access?

And was it immediately your school received the payment from the bank?

Did you submit the new application through the old portal?

Yes, and it's the same documents I submitted for the first application that was refused, the same amount in my bank account... I resubmit again, I don't add or remove any documents in the second application. But I don't know the reason I was refused because of financial status in the first application?

I don't know what exactly is the problem of the Visa Officer that access my first application.

You welcome

I know of paper application though, wanted to confirm for online applications..

And according to the 2nd screenshot, I could see there is a processing officer(the answer I was looking for) before the Visa officer works on an application.. Even though I can see this is specifically for Express Entry application, I wanna believe its the same process for study permit application.. I will still do my own research as always though..

Good one predator...

Please can you enlighten me more on the guidelines/Process of paying school fees through Form A cos that Flywire part just got me confused.
