there have been cases of fake admission letters involving newly arrived foreign students here. it got so much media coverage that the Immigration minister had to wade in. The foreign students were on the verge of deportation before the minister granted them short stay out of public pressure.
MY POINT: there is going to be an added level of verification for every acceptance letter submitted for study permit. It wont be business as usual. If an agent obtains acceptance letter for u, easily u can verify by calling the school or emailing them. Just know ur date of birth and details about your course of study and u will get a response at no cost. they are not like Nigerian schools

smiglet001:
Hello this is quite an issue. You need to ask your agent to send you a copy of your LOA (if you don't have one yet) and check it well for genuineness. I am quite sure you will get something. You can use the student number on your LOA to reach out to Niagara College to be sure its correct. All I am looking at is that you just need to be sure that LOA is not forged....else, its a different ball game here.

Please my people Help me out urgently
I got the response on my application after 10weeks through my agent that
" I have concerns that you have provided a fraudulent or inappropriately obtained letter of acceptance from Niagara college in your application ....."
I would like to provide you with opportunity to respond. You will have 7days from the date of this letter to submit evidence and documentation you deem will address these concerns

Congratulations

It is PPR for a close friend after two rejections.

First Application (GC Key)
Submitted – 11/09/2021
Upfront Med passed – 14/10/21
Refusal – 7/12/21

GCMS notes revealed no detailed information, just that the VO stated that though funds seem available he/she/it was not convinced that third party funds will be available for the duration of the programme.
The sponsor was her brother in law who was based in Canada and he had provided statements of about C$51,000 with no lump sums at all, while she had paid first semester fees at Lambton college for a two year programme, after this rejection, she was in dilemma on what to do, because Lambton College does not allow deferral of admission and she was hoping to resume for Spring 2022, she actually submitted the application early to get quick processing in line with the 4 months timeline of IRCC then, since there was still time before her proposed resumption, she decided to resubmit her application, with same documents hoping that a considerate VO will look at it with favourable eyes, but guess what she was bounced again!

Second Application (New Portal)
Submitted – 8/02/22
Existing upfront med passed – 18/2/22
Refusal – 25/5/22

By this time, she had started online courses with Lambton college because spring classes had started, hoping that the second application will be successful. When the notes came out there were blunders from the VO.
The VO claimed that her whole family was travelling when she was only traveling with her daughter while her husband and son were to be in Nigeria.
The VO also claimed that the sponsor and the applicant were not bearing the same surname whereas this was not true. Applicant surname was same as sponsor who was her brother-in-law.
The VO was claimed there was little documentation to show relationship between sponsor and applicant, when picture and a letter was written to explain the relationship.
Then the VO also picked out the fact that the statement submitted did not have names on it. (MBS could not be done since the account was a foreign one) at the point of trying to scan and attach, the first page of the statement was omitted.
When the rejection came, it was time to strategize because no retreat, no surrender. She applied to get her semester tuition payment refunded, this was done after like 1 month, then she went back to the drawing board.
Since her grade was a second class upper, she decided to jettison colleges and instead pursue Masters, she applied to Northeastern University in Sept 2022 with plans to resume Fall 2023, the application was fee and she was offered a 15-month programme in Analytics, she had also applied to Toronto Metropolitan but was rejected. Then she went to start building her POF such that by the time she submitted her application it would have been perfect, and we all joined our heads together to draft a very strong SOP starting with an LOE on the last application, the LOE was used point out the blunders the VO had made in that application. She built her POF from Sept 2022 till she resubmitted a new application May 2023 for Fall 2023 intake. This time she did not do upfront medicals because she wanted to see progress with a medical request.

Third Application (GCKey) used because of the documents size
Submitted – 19/5/23

Medical done -30/6/23

You mean tuition deposit or secondary school school fees? Clear us.

Good afternoon,please who paid through flywire (online bank transfer) recently. Payment details used to be 9payment Service(SEERBIT) but what am seeing since yesterday now is one GTB acct (Squad Checkout).Kindly assist, am afraid of sending to this new acct from flywire.I called their support but response seems not to be clear.Please help.....trying to pay tuition fees

u need to understand his case and question before you can advice. He was asking if he could update his new LOA with IRCC while in Nigeria
if he changes his DLI with IRCC while in Nigeria, he will need to make a fresh study permit application with the new DLI. the travel visa issued to him is dependent on the letter of acceptance issued by the DLI in Canada. People who understand how these things work have given him the right advice here which is: travel first with your old LOA, enroll in your old DLI then seek to change to your new DLI while in Canada. the condition of his his approval is he will need to study at the school which he has stated in his application, should that change, he will need to make a fresh application and prove he has the POF for the new school because no 2 schools have the same tuition structure. when you already enrolled in Canada you can switch schools but if do that while in Nigeria, you will be invalidating your visa and will need a fresh visa application with your new school

Zeed13:
This information u just provided is false.
So far ur eTa is withing the stated date, you can enter with a new admission letter.
What he/she have is not even a study permit, the study permit will be issued at the point of entry.
And there, the admission letter is asked for.

Then I am wrong on this then.
You know better.
Could you please explain to me the people who changed their resumption dates, deferred, (Same school, same course, same DLI) after receiving the study permit? What should they do?
While waiting for a study permit, my cousin deferred her admission, thinking it might be too late to make the resumption, but to her surprise, she got her approval (20 days to resumption). Now she has the new admission letter with her and set to travel this coming month.
Would this be a problem for her?

Also, her study permit in her online portal would expire early (months before her study), does she has to re-apply while in Canada or the study permit will be issued with the new admission letter at the point of entry?
Please shed more light!

You obviously didn't understand what he said. What he said was 100% correct. The only legal way to inform ircc when you want to change dli is to do that on ircc website where you upload both old and new LOAs of exha dli along with evidence of enrollment of the first dli. And the law clearly stipulates you do that in Canada. You can only enter with the LOA used to issue you the visa which they will confirm at POE before permit is issued. The moment you update that ircc with the new loa right here in Canada, you automatically invalidate your study visa and you will be asked to apply for a fresh study visa for the new LOA you uploaded. That's what the law stipulates.

Mind you we aren't talking of new letter of admission, we are talking of new LOA and updating it on ircc website right here in Nigeria. Hope you know when you upload the new LOA, Ircc will contact your previous school to confirm you entered Canada and enrolled as a student before the switch of dli is approved.

thank you so much

Bobomaigida:


SP - Study permit.
LOA - Letter of Acceptance.

obviously you are mixing a lot things. please stop giving wrong advice here. first time visitors to this thread will run with those kind of misinformation.
to defer admission is completely different from changing your DLI. go to IRCC web page you will understand when people say the DLI that gets you visa here u will need to present at POE to get a study permit. IRCC clearly have it on their page, if u change your DLI while in Nigeria, you will need to make a fresh application in Nigeria.
By the way why will someone in his right senses even want to contact IRCC or send IRCC more documentations while in Nigeria when his application has been approved and visa issued. Use common sense, u dnt want to reopen a case that has been settled in your favour...do u?

Good day everyone. Please is there a general whatsapp group for students in toronto? or for Ryerson/TMU?

You have just said to someone u don't know "Use your senses".
Like for real?
For sure, you read well when I said, my mistake and acknowledge that the person knows better.
I thought it was deferred and not a change of DLI.
You this online bully think really think u are the guru.
To my face, you can't utter this.
I am not expected to know all, that's why I asked. It is yours to help with what you know or look away. Don't be rude.
In between, thanks for the clarification.

On what basis was your first application rejected ?

Base on financial,inconsistency of purpose of visit

But what do you think I do I’m just tensed I can’t just stand another rejection

sunkanmi2211:
But what do you think I do I’m just tensed I can’t just stand another rejection

Just be positive. Hopefully it will come out good this time around. While delay does not signify anything whether good or bad, rejection tends to be swift especially after medical update.

Thank you I really appreciate this

sunkanmi2211:

You can’t stand what? What will happen if it gets rejected? You won’t die.

I know someone who got rejected 4 times but got it the 5th time.

Mine is in the 6th week now and no update since the 2nd of June. Resumption is on the 21st of August. I am tired I swear!

What did you differently please, mine was rejected on the same basis. I'm still confused especially about the 2nd reason, I'm still waiting for my gcms notes.
Please waiting for your response, thank you!

You don’t need any English proficiency test. You want to apply for Masters, I want to assume you graduated with Second class upper?

smiglet001:
Well, I choose to include it in my application. Its has become common for people to include it. I don't want any loose ends😂

Sincerely, no loose end for not providing a police report. You don't need it.

CanJ:
The agent helped to get the admission.
The agent said that the admission has been cancelled now because I don't pay the school fees before the time schedule. But is that how they do?

It is my understanding that you must abide by the conditions stated in your LOA.

Let me ask you one more question.

Did the agent submit the visa application knowing that you have not paid the tuition deposit or you asked him/her to submit without the tuition deposit?

I don't want to trigger a panic in you. Note that failure to provide reasonable explanation may result in a ban. Yes, that is a ban due to misrepresentation that is about to be issued to you. You will do well to address it.

Yes I graduated with a 2.1 in physics but I would like to pursue a master's in renewable energy and sustainability
