Hello everyone....

Gentlesoul3268:

Degift what wrong with IRCC new portal? Is GCKEY account better to apply ? Or does it determine the outcome of the study permit

The new IRCC portal uses AI and in most cases gives premature automatic refusal even without human visa's officer input and has been responsible for prolonged delay in visa processing. Anyone who loves themselves will stick to the old GCKEy account which is faster for now.

LumiTee:
You can use the old portal if you have more documents to upload as it allows for 4MB maximum upload per placeholder.

You can use the new portal if you don't have too many documents to upload, if you don't intend to apply with your spouse for SOWP, and if you don't want the stress of IMM forms. It allows for 2MB maximum upload per placeholder.

hommiekr:

Yes you can

DaChem:

Thanks for your prompt response.
Yeah, he applied through the IRCC new portal. His total tuition fee is 32000cad for 2years program , he has paid 8500cad.
Spouse applied for visiting Visa. Child is a year and 8 months old.

Saikichan:


Pls what's the link to the new portal?

Degift:


You still need to provide more details? What is the source of your funds, personal savings, sponsor, loan or what, how much is total funding in CAD since your total required funds should be like 32,000CAD+ 34,000CAD + two-way transportation cost if the spouse will apply for SOWP. Why applying for visiting for the wife instead when the child will also accompanying on vistor visa of more than 6 months, who will be taking care of the child while the visiting wife travels back (by implication) when the student should be allowed to focus on studies, do you enough extra money to pay for the child care of like 50CAD/day in addition to the required living expenses of 3000CAD/year since the visiting wife not on SOWP can travel and leave the child behind with the study- busy student from time to time? Those are the factors.

You will use both (one after the other).

Please this is URGENT:
Please my friend who applied to Conestoga College May intake didn't receive application decision on time after 2 months of submission. She finally decided to defer till Fall intake. Unfortunately the PPR came a day after she had deferred. She has been trying to reach the school to tell them to cancel the deferral so that she can resume ASAP but the school hasn't replied her emails and when she tried calling it was entering voicemail.
Is there a contact phone number she can call? Her campus is Kitchener.

tenderjunkie:

What acceptance letter did your friend submit if she didn't receive application decision on time?

LumiTee:
Oh I'm talking about study permit application o.

tenderjunkie:

Ohhhh. I understand now. Other than reaching the school, she should also send a mail to her program coordinator

Degift:



I guessed you applied through IRCC new portal instead of via GCKEY account.

Well as to determine wether your funding is enough or not, you need to mention how much is the total tuition cost and if your spouse applied to study or work and how old is the child to be able to advise.

PPR finally � �
June 2022 applicant. Longest wait of my life but i give God the glory.

Thanks so much everyone. Especially the guy who dropped Q_life email address for me, was really helpful, after calling them so many times for booking and they told me no date available, was able to book through mail. Cos medical date was super tight that period.

Kalclinton:



Good morning
I'm really grateful for your response
Yes the refusal was since january and my application was done by an agent
so i didn't try to apply again immediately but right now I've got more documents and I'm willing to go at it again and i don't plan on making use of an agent anymore which is why I'm trying to know what i may need to do after the 1st refusal before i go again so that i don't get anything working against me again.

And please what is a GCMS note and where can i request for it
Also how does it help my application at this time
Bless your heart greatly for your response

Most applicants here used GCkey

StJohnKml:

Sir/Madam,
Why do you use 'instead'? Does that mean GC Key is better?

nnamdi346:
Oh my, there hasn't been any change on this dashboard for the past 8 weeks.

I wonder if it's because of the new portal I used. Maybe I should have just used GCKey instead. This is frustrating, guys.

Do you have any idea what might be causing the delay in processing my application? It's being handled by the London Visa Office, and I'm really tired of waiting.

Degift:


Capital YES, even much faster!

Army2022:
What's your point? You said the person has a registered business and applied to study business admin, ...which is good.
Did the person I replied to mention he had any
certificate or JOB relating to Business ? ?
Pls I no get strength, just give him/her your own advice.

nnamdi346:


Congratulation!!

It seems like our submission timelines are similar. Did you have to closely follow up with them like I am planning to do?

Hope4Naja:
