Please need advice. My 16 year old BIL was denied a study permit twice on financial grounds meanwhile his Dad in Nigeria is very financially capable with good account balances and lots of documents provided.

First he applied for September intake, and they denied on finances as they weren't sure he had access to the money. It was a corporate account. (we submitted board resolution letters, CAC, shares showing major shareholder etc).
We deferred till JAN, Now they denied him and say the bank statements isn't legible. His bank statement was 6 months, very lengthy (52 pages) and it was a hurdle compressing it. Did it severally, quality was reduced but still legible. I even sent the bank statements separately via webforms. (I hear now, that's a gamble).

Please I need advice so I can reapply ASAP this week as it's quite unfair as the funds is truly available in the Zenith account as his Dad is a a well established Engineer and contractor.
1. Is there a way for Zenith bank to provide additional details, we can send for them to verify this online.
2. He had admission to Bow valley college. Should we offer to pay a session of fees? Will that help?
3. What can we do please? Any advice everyone?
4. Should we open a bank account for him in Canada and use? Is that possible?

is your wife in Canada as a student or on a work permit? because both are different POF

Thank you.

1. I have requested for this and will get it tomorrow. Hope this one page MyBankStatement Ticket is verifiable in Canada?

2. If we pay the fees, is it refundable if he doesn't get the visa?

3. How can I register for GIC. What's the best way. Can I tell him to send me the money in Canada and I fund the GIC here or must they show a direct trail from Naija account to GIC Bank?

I am asking because I presume the bank transfer from Zenith to a GIC would take time and we quickly want to reapply for January start.

Thanks and appreciate your responses.

Don’t make a simple situation look complex and if I was the visa officer I would have denied you too because the submission was clumsy. Here are my reasons:
1. Inability to submit a legible statement, compression will make it blurred, deterring the officer from making an informed decision. Solution is to use mybankstatement
2. If you have that sufficient cash as indicated in the account statement, nothing should hinder you from paying at least one year school fees and a GIC. To address this, pay one year fees then let your spouse Open a GIC with the student’s details but fund it on his/her behalf using a wire transfer and should show the transaction trail though.

The visa will be granted most likely if addressed in this manner.

esosa4real:
Thank you.

I am going to contact the school this AM and figure out the payment of his school fees ASAP. I am hoping it's refundable.

About GIC, his sister here in Canada has CIBC, is that whom she needs to contact? Or are there known Canadian banks that do this effortlessly and easy?
Also, his Dad who is sponsoring has a Naira account at Zenith, can he do this wire transfer?

Thanks.

IRCC generally expects you (the applicant) to show enough money to cover your living expenses and your children’s expenses, in addition to supporting your spouse while she studies.

I do not know the exact amount, but to be on the safe side, having around $40,000 CAD should be more than enough in my opinion, since with two kids, expenses can add up quickly.


Thanks, she haven’t gotten a work cus she’s resuming Jan 5th and I’m planning to apply Jan 28th… I don’t intend to waste time before applying
Hopefully, your wife is working her allowed 24 hours per week to help support the family application ....she can submit her T4 and pay stubs as proof of employment and income to support application

Good day everyone,
My fiance apply for visit visa, last year December through an agent, and she went for Biometric same month, after that she haven't heard anything from the agent and now we wish to apply for invitation visa.
Can this work?

ndoeyopbennet:
Hello all. It's been a long time since I followed this thread (I was very active in 2020). Quick question, does it still apply that once an applicant gets the medical request, their application is likely to be approved? Are there any new developments that contradict this view?

Profgordons:
Nothing is certain right now

ndoeyopbennet:
Thanks for your response. Can you explain further? Have there been cases of rejection after medical requests?

ifeanyija:
please can someone process study visa for January admission?

Do not waste time contact a Canadian licensed immigration consultant

No one here can give you the best answer except someone you can pay to carefully review your documents and identify the main issue

why you might ask because we need more context to understand the POF document that was shared and that's what someone that is licensed will look over

specifically a Canadian licensed immigration consultant (not the ones you see on Facebook or in random groups). In Nigeria, there are only about six or seven officially licensed immigration consultants.

They need to go over your documents because, from what you shared, here are the key issues mentioned:

Illegible Documents: The copies of your bank statements and several other documents were of poor image quality and contained illegible sections. This prevented proper verification of account details and transaction histories.

Lack of Verifiability: An electronic verification method (such as a bank-issued portal or verifiable MyBankStatement ticket) was not provided.

Inability to Confirm Details: Due to poor legibility and lack of verifiable information, the officer could not reliably confirm balances, dates, payors, or the source of deposits.

Anything related to financial documentation is very delicate in any immigration profile. It’s best that he spends the money to consult a licensed immigration professional who can pinpoint exactly where the issue lies and guide him on how to fix it.

Is it normal to submit study permit application without receiving Submission confirmation on my dashboard. Only confirmation of online application transmission was seen. It is over three hours now.
