This is strange. They refused her application after they sent medical request. Kindly order your cbsc notes. Don't even bother reapplying without it. Could be a mistake from their part.
It could also be medical related, don't ignore that also. Syphilis alone makes someone medically inadmissible.

This is certainly not enough as a self sponsor.
First if the 2.5m goes for miscellaneous as you said, then he has zero naira in his acct? And he is a self sponsor? So what happens if he needs emergency funds to carry out unforseen expenditures? If he has family behind, what's he living back behind to take care of them? As a self sponsor, it's certainly not enough.


Well, in my SOP, I stated it clearly that my business account is different from the account I used as POF strictly for the purpose of my studies. There were 3 different occasions I transferred funds from my Business account to the account I used as POF as shown in my POF account. My SOP shows that I have 3 different running businesses, and I stated that my wife who has been running these businesses with me will take charge for the period I will be away for my studies to ensure that I do not run out of funds. Please, note that I supported my claims with official and court documents, as well as pictoral evidences.

BRO my advice is just wait for your decisions or a message from IRCC.. The old rate may be used since you submitted your application before the conversion rate went up... I have a Friend that got his Visa 2weeks ago and he applied second week of May using the old rate..He said if that the new rate was used for his application,his POF would have not been enough but to his surprise, His visa came out..So just wait and be positive..

Yeah, there are a lot of people that have gotten approvals with the old rate, I think they use Lock-in date, I know the policies are not really the same, I saw on UK government website, that the rate to be used will be the rate of the day you submit your application not the date your application is being reviewed, so I guess they may be doing same

You can checkout NSCC and NBCC.

They offer 1yr postgraduate programs that cost less than 15k cad.

NBCC currently have temporarily closed their portal for international students application.

Whether you apply with or without her, they already know you have a visitor visa. It's how convincing your sop will be will determine if it makes sense to travel with her or not with sowp.
If you have the pof, then you can apply with her.
As for working remotely, it could be a red flag cos that job can't really act as an economic tie for you again.

Thanks for the response, how would I explain leaving my job when I’m not the primary applicant who will be studying,? Would it make sense if I say I’m on leave of absence? My wife will be on study leave
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by NorthernshoreTS(m): 9:52am On Jul 09, 2023
EkaAkp:
I recently got my Canadian visitors visa last week, I’m yet to actually travel because the visa came in late and the purpose of travel had passed. However, my wife age 25, has gotten admission and is to resume by January 4th in Canada. POF isn’t the issue, home ties isn’t an issue also as I have 2 lands of over 10Million in value, a very good business and I am employed also. My wife has a plot of land also and she’s duly employed also. We work in the same company. I have a daughter who is 3yrs old from my ex girlfriend. My wife will be granted a study leave by then ur company and I have been granted a transition to another department in the company to allow me work remotely if I wish to accompany my wife.
I will be the sponsor
The issue here is this, should we apply together ? when my wife applies for her study permit, should she apply for my SOWP? Remember I have a visitor visa approved already .
Also, is it a red flag 🚩 that my company is allowing me work remotely and yet I am seeking SOWP ?
Hi EkaAkp
I would advice she applies without you so you can serve as part of her home ties.
Once her Visa is approved and she gets to Canada and is enrolled in school, you do your medicals, travel to Canada and Flagpole (since you have an existing visitors visa) so as to get a work permit.
I would assume your wife is going to include your daughter in her application, I hope there is no custody issue between you and your ex-girlfriend and that you and your wife have legal custody of your little girl.
Godspeed.

I started application to saint John, nbcc, information technology and I just made payment for the application fee ($100) but got a notification I cannot proceed to submit as they already received too many applications and their portal has been put on hold and an update will be made on 13th July. Is there any hope I can at least submit my application by then or there's another thing I can do on my portal before then so I can be able to submit?
I really don't want lose $100 considering I can't even submit to complete the application. So confused.

I was about applying 2 days ago before I saw the memo for temporary closure of international students application, I believe they would open again but won't be for all programs. Please what platform did you use in making your application fee payment?

macdeeza:
the best advice for you is to travel with the admission that got you the visa. inside Canada, you can try to change the DLI. if you switch school while in Nigeria, that will invalidate your visa and you will have to apply for a fresh study permit with the new program.


I will advice you go back to your IRCC portal click on the additional document section then upload the new school admission letter and also explain the reason why you changed school there so they can be aware of the resent changes cause when you get to the point of entry where they will issue your study permit all your file will be there and once they notice any anomalies Omo them fit send person back ooo

Hello Fam
I want to provide some insight into passport submission after PPR.

For Lagos and Abuja Residents
You may wish to book an appointment at VAC Lekki or Abuja to submit your passport in-person. Alternatively, you can go any nearest UPS or DHL and have them courier your passport to the VAC (this does NOT require an appointment).

For now, I STRONGLY advice against paying VFS to courier your passport back to you after your Visa has been stamped as there have been reports of delays in passport delivery by VFS. Go to the VAC and pick up your passport in-person

For Non Lagos and Abuja Residents
I would advice you send your passport and accompanying documents via UPS or DHL to the VAC in either Lagos or Abuja.
If you have all the time in the world before you have to travel then you can pay the courier fee to VFS so that your passport can be mailed back to you, however be aware that you may experience significant delay in getting your passport delivered back to you.
Alternatively and this is a better option in my opinion, you can either travel down to the VAC location you submitted and pick up in-person or you fill the 3rd page of the consent form with the details of a friend or relation who resides in Lagos or Abuja depending on where u submitted, so that the person can pick up on your behalf.

Note if you wish to submit your passport to the VAC other than where you captured your Biometrics, you are required to pay a transmission fee (it was N9410 as of last week but I dont know if this has changed, so kindly confirm first)

I hope this helps someone and if anyone has a need for any clarification on the above matter, you may contact me directly.

Best regards.

the answer is yes even with your sponsor you still need to put a certain amount in your account let say 5 to 7 million to show that you already have your feeding allowance and funds to settle your immediate bills aside the fact that you will be sponsored also ensure theirs is tier between you and your sponsor

Correct. However, in-person collection is still in full effect. I picked up mine via proxy some days back.

Have you been working or doing business for a while? If yes then it's logically expected you contribute something to your education. Also your sponsor being your brother inlaw, you will have to prove to VO why he shud sponsor you. He can also demonstrate his willingness to send some part of the sponsorship money as a gift to you. Then ofcourse you will use your sop to explain home and economic ties, why your brother inlaw should spend tens of millions sponsoring you, explain his capacity to be your sponsor, that's his source of income and attach all supporting documents. Your sop will play a strong role there.

Yes. You can take a leave of absence and give it a shot. Would have been alot easier though if you were a business owner. Why not her apply alone anyway since you already submitted your visit visa application, if and when hopefully hers is approved, she can immediately apply for you to join in a sowp.

This isn't allowed. The stipulations of ircc are clear. He can only switch when he must have entered Canada and enrolled as a student in the dli that je was issued study permit with. If he does what you are saying, ircc will immediately request he applies for a new study permit if he wants to change to the new dli.

You have to enter Canada first, enroll as a student in the first school then you go to irrc portal by uploading loa, and other evidence of the former school as well as loa of the new school. That's the official way you update ircc. Note: you must do all this when you are in Canada if not ircc will cancel your visa. And if you don't enroll as a student with the first school, they could report you to immigration which you could face deportation.
Thanks bro..I really appreciate. However, I get another question. If I differ admission from September to January with d same uni after collecting my visa. Do I need to inform ircc about d differal or I'll just travel 2 canada straight n inform dem @ d point of entry ?..Abeg I need answers!

You don't need to inform ircc as long You travel within the period your loa is till valid. Ensure you have the new LOA to the deferred new date and ofcourse you will explain at POE why you haven't traveled earlier. When you are finally in Canada, you can apply for study permit extension to complete your education.

Thank you very much for this concise explanation.
Just a little personal question... I did my biometrics in Lagos and I have decided to travel down to Lagos without appointment to submit at the UPS office close to vsf office.
1. Will I still address it (i.e send my documents) to Lagos Vsf office or directly to Abuja Vsf office from the UPS office close to Lagos office ?
2. After stamping if I decided to pick it up in person after sending through Courier, where exactly will I pick it up, at the courier office where I submitted or the main vsf office in Lagos?

Thank you.
