Please I need help with online .. I used gcjey and I tried making the payment .. it said declined .. but on the cic account it shows payment processing .. please anyone .. there's also a deadline on the payment ..


Hi there,


When did u try making this payment. Recently, GTB increased their international payment from 100 to 1000USD a month. So with a GTB Master card, u should be good to go. Better still, open a GTB USD Dom Acc and fund it. Get a card for the Dom Acc and pay for it. It should be okay.

Regards.

You dont actually need a Dorm account for this purpose.

Most banks have increased limit bewteen $500 - $1000

So use your naira card to pay

I've seen such issue severally. Calm down. Your account payment status will be reversed soon. So you will be able to try again.

Goodluck

MrMarc:


I just saw this...

Please I am not trying to discourage you but sincerely i wish you saw this thread and read all thru part 12. You would have come up with a far superior app.

Home tie:
You never submitted any birth Certificate of any of ur siblings and as you pointed out no employment letter even when you have a job tho is family business. (You being the Manager would have been a strong home tie)

Funding:
You should have paid your tuition so they have just your living expenses to worry about.

Secondly..submitting ur bro statement of acct with CAD27,500 when you have a budget of CAD23,500 meaning your bro hav to live off jst 4kCAD after paying ur fees which doesn't seem cool. I would have recommended a Co-sponsor in this case.

No travel history....The landed property documents would have gone a long way as well.

Pray and hope for the best.
I stated it in my application that I am actually working as supervisor in my dad's bakery (though I ddnt add employment letter cos I dont have any but can provide one incase VO requests for it).
Its not actually only my brother that will cover my expenses. My father will help. We just submitted only his bank statement to prove I have more than enough funds to cover my 1st year of study according to what CIC website clearly states. I can't pay tuition now because Brandon Uni said I can pay during my registration. I don't know if its better to email the school that VO needs me to pay my tuition now or just leave it amd let things just flow naturally.
Its since I saw this thread that I learnt people also submit landed property. Plus during my bros finland visa app, he ddnt even submit financial status or landed properties but still got his visa.
I am just hoping on God now. He can make the impossible possible

OdeyemiAdekunle:


What is the way forward gurus.... Please remember that I have paid tuition fees... Help me out please
Please please please help me out now cry cry cry

Your app isn't that bad...but can be improved!

1. Try to defer your admission to create time for reapplying trv

Finance..
2. It is good you paid your fees..now the living expenses is the issue. If yoursponsor has jst about 4M and you take out 2.5M or 3M i.e CAD10,000 meaning she has jst 1M to live off which doesn't sound cool.

Get a co-sponsor (if she cant meet up the below statement) this time around and have your living expenses transfered to your account and state it clearly on your SOP.
Have extra 1M aside the living expenses (flights & Miscellaneous).
You paid your fees, have you living expenses in your account. Then get the fund export letter from your bank saying you have no restrictions to access the fund from Canada

Home tie:
This is the "proposed lenght of stay"

I have always been of the opinion that siblings and parents aint strongly enof home tie except maybe one is used to travelling and returning or applying from another country as a resident or student.

However, If you can't get a job from your aunts firm and get an introduction letter and leave letter, Then further state that as the only son and in your native tradition you are to inherit all your parents have including family business and need to be accessible as your custom and tradition demands. Also get a consent letter from your parents permitting you to travel for your 1yr study. (Note: Do the same even if you get the Job offer letter)

Let your SOP summaries all this very strongly.

Before i forget...Pls dont stop using agents for visa applications...they try desperately to get you visa and get the rest of there money even if it means falsifying documents. I have friends who were banned cos of info the filled in U.S visa app not corresponding to the one for Canada because they don't evn know what the previous agent filled.

Anyone would be far knowledgeable than this agents if the read this thread from even part 8-12.

Me self don turn Visa agent self thanks to this thread and other similar ones tongue

Finally, It is only by HIS GRACE! #PrayToGodAlmighty

Odeyemi. .....how much is your tuition fee..2...room and board fee....3...others.....that aspect need to be calculated very well.....and that will determine what will be in your sponsored account and your sponsor must have something left that will be enough for him.......
You read guidance and counselling. ......look for another program related to what you study ....and you can reapply

I totally get you. But the important question is...will the Visa officer understand from your point of view. I usually advise applicants that 'If any part of your application doesn't add up in your head, chances that it wouldn't to the VO is high'.

With your years of experience and what you intend to achieve with the training you are applying for, I think it is only proper to act as your sponsor! Leave family issue of who will cater for your family in your absence. You will sort that out happily when your successfully collect your visa!

About the program you are going for, it is left to you to convince the visa officer in your letter of explanation why you are going to spend so much on an international degree and why you have chosen to not study in your home country! You need to do a lot of work and research on this letter and explain everything in full details and facts to back up your claims!

I wish you all the best! Feel free to share on this thread any issues you may encounter in your application process. We are one big happy family!!! grin

Many thanks Bro, I appreciate.

good evening guys. i tried to read the thread but i ended up being more confused than i was initially, Please i am so new to this and i really dunno what to do or how to start. i intend on studying MBA in canada (because i intend to stay back and work, and i feel MBA will increase my chances of getting a good paying job) but the issues now is when i tried to google schools their tuition is something else with little or no say on funding international students. But i know there are reputable schools out there that i can apply to with my little $20,000 (canadian dollars) and probably also get a waiver on my tuition. But i just don't know how to go about it. I graduated with a 2.1 in Economics. please i just need someone to be my guide and enlighten me on schools i should apply for, what exams i need to take, how to apply quick for scholarships/funding and getting a visa.like which one comes first AND is it possible for me to start the processing/ exams and still make it for the resumption in January or so. pleaseeeeeeeee i need help... please
hello, good morning, i would advise you take your time and prepare all you need, try checking out for schools that will open september 2018. write all exams, save money, get sponsors, and equip yourself with some professional courses so that you can stand out for both admission and visa. there is no rush in life.

Please pay your tuition and reapply for TRV again, including the receipt. It cannot be overemphasized, add landed document and show why it's important to induce your return back to Nigeria. Many include landed documents just for the sake of it and expect the VO to decipher by some telepathic knowledge that they would inherit it. Please explain any landed document not in your name and why you believe it's a factor to make you come back to Nigeria. Getting a visa to Finland is different from getting one to Canada. As far as I am concerned, Canada is becoming the hardest visa to get, getting harder than getting an American visa. Plus it may be long that your brother got a visa to Finland? Things were a lot less stringent in the past. The times they are changing. Everything is becoming more difficult. Good luck.

I believe a comprehensive medical exams is expected to be carried out and will ofcourse indicate the pregnancy. However, being pregnant will NOT affect processing of the applicant's application as there is no basis of refusing an application on grounds of being pregnant but since the primary intention of an applicant should be to study, she will have to convince the VO that her primary intention is to study and not to have a child in a disguise of study even though she can have her baby while studying. She should declare that she is pregnant.(This will add credibility to her assesment. They will still find out) The VO's decision will be on how she has been able to establish herself as a bonafide student who will genuinely study and leave canada at the end of the temporary stay and not because of the pregnancy. She will have to do a good job convincing because her case is perculiar.

She may also have to prove to the VO that adequate preparation is/will be on ground( additional funds,Plans for antenatal, additional health care plans, etc) should she eventually deliver the baby as she studies. She should be truthfull as possible if she applies before having the baby.
The VO will use his/her discretion to then consider her application.

She can as well have the baby first before applying but then, she will have to nurse the baby and if she intend going for study, there will be a burden too to convince the VO on how she will cope with the infant. Difficult situations but surmountable.
Thanks. The whole thing is left to convincing the VO right?

She should disclose her pregnancy at the medical centre. i read somewhere (seems the medical centre where i had mine) that concealing such vital info doesnt affect your chances of getting your permit and it should be disclosed so as not to expose the foetus to dangerous rays while having x-rays etc
That's true. X-rays are not recommended for pregnant women. Thanks

Simplicity is a virtue. I am noticing that people who make their application short and concise and straight to the point, get approved quicker. I was in pm with this guy from NL who didn't even submit SOP, but his documents were straightforward and he has been approved. Please people lets make our applications simple and straightforward. You wonder why so long of a waiting time? Think no further. It's the extraneous documents submitted by people. I feel we should have a list of dos and donts. Don't be submitting pictures of your car or titles as factors to induce your return. Don't submit family portraits and pictures, simply include birth certificates to prove a point. Don't sound desperate to go to Canada in your SOP. Avoid begging the VO to approve your application. Stay off from the mentioning of Jesus and God in your SOP. The VO would not be predisposed to give you a visa just because you are religious. They may actually misconstrue your motif if you do. Let the facts speak for themselves should always be your one rule of thumb as you submit your application. Good luck.

Okay got ya. I thought you were denied already. God forbid. Please email them your land documents and include all bank statements of sponsors. Not only one bank statement. Wait for CIC. If they want you to pay they would ask you to do. If they ask you to pay, it's a great sign that they want to approve your application.

Many thanks for the response, however, i need clarification on the sponsorship.
My sponsor will only be taking care of the living expense with a monthly stipends of about $1600 while i take care of my tuition and other logistics. will this pose a problem considering my circumstance? Let me list my concerns/circumstance again:
i. I have an HND
ii. Over 40
iii. Have a family with wife gainfully employed
iv. Have over 10 years work experience
v. have properties (land, automobiles) worth over N12m
vi. Have Pension account with balance in excess of N3m
vii. Have shares in stock worth over N2m
viii. Plan pushing funds into my mutual fund account to the tune of N3m
ix. Sponsor (inlaw) lives and works in europe (not sure of her monthly take home as a clinical staff)
x. Currently work as head of a unit in consulting firm.
xi. I am applying for a professional programme that runs for 12 months inclusive of about four months internship

All these put together, will they pose a concern for denial?

Boss, I salute you...

Even birth certificates (of siblings), except needed to prove relationship with sponsors, should be avoided.

Everything you said above...is straight on point.

Let those who have eyes and ears, see and hear. Include only relevant documents.

Why are people submitting their transcript to VO? I thought transcript was only meant to be submitted to the school u are applying to for them to give u admission? Ur degree certificate is enough
No need submitting things that are not required for study permit and implicating urself in the process

Thanks so much bro! My fear is if they see variations in the age that might be easy way to refusal. It's only my passport that has this age, ssce is NECO so no age written on it. If only embassy will accept degree certificate without asking transcript or having access to it, I think I will be good
