If it is catholic or Anglican church, i don't think there is any course for alarm, well recognised.

It is Methodist Church of Nigeria(MCN)

How about it?

Elfortunato:
I am seriously beginning to get anxious and worried for my study permit application.

Application received by IRCC: December 13
Biometrics completed : December 16
Review of upfront Medical passed : January 04

It's already almost 2months and no word from IRCC asides the normal "we are processing your application...". Meanwhile people that applied even in January are already getting PPR all around. Is there anybody in this same category? Please Gurus in the house. How can I know what is causing this delay? Help!!

I appreciate bro

Legitmenaija:
Congratulations Bro.

Seems you applied yourself.


Reading about failures by Visa agents and requests for another 1,000 CAD to reapply for the visa is somehow discouraging.

Can i apply for study permit myself?

Can someone kindly assist me with the process.

I already paid 1st semester tuition deposit. I will pay 2nd semester with form A next week.


I want to commence study permit application but confused whether to use an agent (Visa agent license bY IRCC) or the admission consult team that helped me secure the admission. or do it myself.

If anyone will be willing to assist me through the process, kindly indicate or send me a mail legithustlingbabe@gmail.com.

The last 2 people with testimonials of PPR said they are willing to assist anyone as a way of giving back to the platform.
Why not contact them? Anyone is no one.

Hello house.

I studied health education but about to apply for web development course in a college.
I know it doesn’t tally with my undergraduate course but I have been taking online courses on web development on udemy and some other platforms. Could this increase my chances if included in my LOE or do i need to show a certificate? (I haven’t completed the course so i don’t have that yet)

Still need answers to this please.

There’s no cause of the delay, it depends on the vo handling ur application
Mine I submitted 25 of November,did my biometrics dec 1 since then no update apart from my eligibility that started 25 of jan
So u have to be patient

Congratulations @ Ogidigan 1, I thank God for you and I rejoice with you!!! You are a big man.. the figures you have available are quite intimidating, but as you mentioned it is not by packaging.. and thanks for the hints too. May the land of Canada favour you.

Ogidigan1:
PPR ALERT!!! (Long post)
MY PROFILE:
I am a 40-year old self-sponsored applicant.
Over 12 years experience in oil & gas engineering.
Sources of fund: Full time employment in oil and gas engineering + Private business + Real estate.
I applied alone (used immediate family members as home ties).
Other home ties: Study leave approval + landed property and buildings + personal business + cars + pension.
Travel history : 3 African countries + 1 middle east country.
DLI: Uottawa (Masters prog).
Study plan: career advancement from Snr. Engineer to Engineering manager (Note: my 1st degree was in engineering).
1st APPLICATION:
1st application submitted June 13th 2022.
Biometrics: June 16th 2022.
Upfront medicals: July 29th , 2022.
POF: $48,000CAD in personal savings account + Paid 1st year full tuition of $19,000 CAD and 10,000CAD GIC.
1st application refused 19th Oct 2022.
Ordered CBSA and GCMS notes: 25th October 2022.
Refusal reasons: (1.) Insufficient documentation for source of funds as earnings were not commensurate with declared savings. (2.) proposed study not a reasonable expense given the high cost of intl studies and funds available.
2nd APPLICATION:
2nd application submitted 1st Dec 2022.
POF: $71,000CAD in personal savings account + Paid 1st year full tuition of $19,000 CAD and 10,000CAD GIC.
HOW I ADDRESSED MY PREVIOUS REFUSAL: Honestly, the VO was correct about the fact that my monthly earnings were not commensurate with savings shown in my account. This was because a lump sum payment for a property sold in 2020 was made into my bank account (over N10m). I attached an excerpt of bank statement showing the transaction date, deed of transfer and land survey docs. I also attached some copies of my previous pay slips and excerpts of bank statement showing salaries and benefits from my previous employers. I also explained my company's plan for expansion and how some employees (including me) have been lined-up for impending management positions. I explained how my salary would triple when I eventually clinch the management opportunity.
GHOST UPDATES: 20th January 2023, 24th January 2023 and 1st February 2023.

I do not want to bore you with too many stories. However, these were the main documents submitted during my application.

SP application nor be by muscle...Na baba God get power...if you like do all the packaging in the world, if it's not your turn, it's not your turn.

But don't forget, visa officers always want to see the following items:

1. Good home ties (e.g wife, children, siblings, parents, personal business, landed property, study leave approval letter etc.).

2. Sufficient and available funding (not fixed deposit or pension).

3. Show sufficient documentation for source of fund.

4. Good study plan. 1 or 2 page SOP/LOE. Explain the benefits of proposed program. Explain why paying the cost of proposed program would be a reasonable expense considering the high cost of intl studies. Show career progression. Get a good convincing story.

5. Straight fwd application.

6. Pay 1st year full tuition (it will boost your chances). Ensure the total amount of money required to complete the proposed program is readily available (plus some extra money).
Finally, I sincerely wish to thank everyone for their contributions on this thread.
Dear Uottawa Fall 2023 folks, pls lets connect.

Pls house how many month bank statement is one expected to submit for Canada study visa both for sponsor and personal account

So I should leave it blank?

makano:
No

Peace

Pls house, how do one explain lump sum, is it explain in the SOP or one have to use anoda documents for the explanation!

Someone suggested that I should apply for GCMS and CBSA notes. Any idea of a link that I can use to make this request? Any help will be appreciated

Everything is dependent on how you explain your decision on your SOP. If it's reasonable and genuine then you will be fine.
One can have career progression and still be rejected for several reasons. It is only advisable to show career progression to easy the scrutiny.

Ensure you explain the reason for your career switch, what made you decide to switch (don't say it's cos u love IT, it wouldn't fly), what you intend to do with the degree afterwards (what value would it add to you), what value would it add to your country etc, I'm sure you understand.

Good luck.

God’s Blessings chief! Appreciate this.

blkomo:
First of all,
With your BSc you can get a postgraduate admission even with a 3rd Class. I have been able to secure admission for people with 3rd class several times.

Your NECO result if you made Credit in English can be used for proof of English.

You can hit me up if you require further assistance.

please how can i reach you

no, i did not, I paid for one semester and the acceptance fee.

I paid about $8k+CAD, the showed 10K(living expenses) and 3k travel expenses

pufframmy:
DID YOU PAY FULL TUTION FEES
HOW MUCH you show as POF

Thanks a Lot. I appreciate

technix:
1. You can do a course related to business. Perhaps, a post graduate diploma in business management or even MBA.

2. You shouldn't have a problem getting admitted. Just try choose a course related to your work experience and check the admission requirements.

3. You can apply for them immediately you get to Canada. Since you don't have much money saved, applying together may be more challenging.

4. Well, some schools don't have openings for September anymore. I think January 2024 should be more realistic.

Please I want to receive money from a us account to my FCMB dom account and they’re asking for my routing number…what should I enter?

Input the bank account number or routing number. You are fine to proceed if you fill other information correctly.
