Oh nice. How long did your application take

.

Thanks a bunch. You guys here are wonderful

Thomsyne:
He did one way courier to Lagos.
If you wanna do to Abj, see attached. I’m guessing you did biometrics in Lagos so you’ll pay 9930 and 990.

However, this one people are saying DHL doesn’t do two-way anymore, I’m not sure what the other options are.

It’s been 41 days since I submitted my passport to IRCC. I don’t understand the reason for the delay. I’ve really lost a lot to this delay.

Chiziteremary:

I guess you have the right response already
Congratulations once again

Hi guys, I'm in dire need of your assistance
My application which is almost going to two years now, I got a message first time since August 2021, letter of procedural fairness about my study permit stating I haven't paid the allotted 235 CAD for my study permit
The payment was made for me by a family friend earlier this year I still have the receipt with me right now
After going rounds and checking through multiple threads I've come to a conclusion that it was probably charge back
Please what is the next step if he claims there wasn't charge back
Is there any way I can verify that there was a charge back
I've been given 7 days to clear my name or I'll recieve a 5 year ban and I'm only left with 4
Please assist me

Please a knowledgeable person should assist this person.. 5years ban no be moimoi.

Guys pls what should i fill in this from/to -----------. i dont really understand what to fill there. Pls help

Hello Everyone

Please, I meed help with my study permit application

I am confused as to where to uoad my SOP on the online platform

I am also applying for my children (age 7 and 9) and do not know where to upload their documents

Is there a different process for applying for one's kids?

Hi @ introvert56, the reason VFS returned your envelope was it because there was no return envelope in it?

You're to upload your sop on Additional docs and as for your kids, I believe you're to apply for a visitors visa for them. You can await the gurus in the house for further clarification

Is there any other thing added or just the payment invoice?

What GOD cannot do does not exist! What GOD cannot do does not exist!!!!!!!

Hi Olokings,

Please can you give me the contact of the MP that responded to you?

Father - PA: Study visa

Child 1 - Study visa, Child 2 - Study visa, Child 4 - visitor visa. Accompanying child 3 - US Citizen to apply study permit within canada

Application submitted April 30th 2022

Eligibility commenced July 5th - 11th (based on MP feedback) Eligibility updated on CIC portal- Aug. 3rd. 2022
Study program - 16 months Masters (course based) UNB
PPR - X5 for all family applicants 24th Aug. 2022

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....

Meehn, the feeling of ecstacy is unspeakable, i swear....

I bid all of us, particularly 2Pretty4u, Kiari, Charitojames et al positive decisions from IRCC..

we will all meet there

thank you so much Fam. i was reading this NL thread more than 4 months before i applied and made changes based on lessons learned gatthered here.

Make i gather our passport go drop for VAC tomorrow.

Good luck to us all....!!!!

I had initially sent my consent form, processing fee receipt (9930), passport request letter, and my actual passport before I was requested to pay 18710 because I did not send it in a return envelope.

Jaykeh:
Is there any other thing added or just the payment invoice?

Yes. I think so

Exact same image that was sent to me. I wonder why I haven't received the email yet.

Good afternoon ladies and Gents, my application was refused, reason: financial assets and personal status, (see GCMS notes below)

course of study: Diploma in hospitality management which is in tandem with my work experience.

Sponsor: my father, I had 4million in my account, no lump sum, payed first semester tuition.

Note: I’m 35 years old, i do not have a first degree which is why I couldn’t go for a masters program however I have a very long work experience in the aforementioned occupation, could this be a deterrence?

Our eloquent Guru’s should please analyze my GCMS notes for me thanks

Chiziteremary:
Guys its PPR for my daughter o. Prrrrrrraissssssseeeeeeeeeee the LORD o. Honestly, God is too much. I bombarded them with over 100 mails today.

I already bought her flight ticket since August by faith. I applied since 27th July 2022

This is the way I would address this if it were my application.

I would first apologise for the reversal. I would explain with the receipt of payment that I didnt have a dollar account so a friend paid for me with his dollar account ( attached is the receipt). I would further explain that the friend dient tell me the money was reversed to his account. Then i would attach the new receipt. I would further explain that if I was told about the reversal, I would have paid immediately since I would not want to do anything to jeopardise my dream of studying in Canada

Before sending the letter of explanaination, I would have paid another $235Cad.

This is what I would explain in my letter which would be sent thru webform with the receipt of the new payment

Panasonic101:
Why not look for another college? Haha

Official Transcript is the one sent directly to the Oversea Institute of Learning from the school you graduated. So, they want you to ask your University here in Nigeria to send your transcript to them directly without passing through you. This involves some extra expenses: Payment to your Uni and then cost of Courier to Canada. Most Canadian Universities - like other foreign Universities (if not all) demand for Official Transcripts. Some go as far as demanding that the transcript be evaluated by WES. WES is another story all together. The to & fro involved in passing thru WES is scary and discouraging.
Unofficial Transcript is the scanned copy with you. Most (if not all) colleges in Canada accept unofficial transcript. So, make your choice. If you love the University so much, then go for it and plan your budget well. But if you can look for a college in Canada, please do. I dont see much difference than the fact that one runs Masters/PHD Programs and the other stops at Graduate Diplomas/Grad Certs. Cut your cloth according to your material.

My POF document is about 32mb after been compressed and in the coloum available to upload shows the file must not exceed 2mb.
Please what should I do
