Update of completed to we do not need your fingerprint means that your actual background check just started. U still have a long way in your application

You mean to tell me every online applicant’s background check only started today? Not true. It’s either a general change or a change for those who experienced it, indicative of progress in their application towards the final target. Given all I have seen now, I tend to think it’s a general change.

You are kidding right? because this is my 7th week since my application submission.



goingforward.

But this new change only started today and does not apply to him. Has he done the biometrics without CIC requesting the outstanding balance? I would be surprised if they allowed him to be fingerprinted without getting their money. Prior to today, everytime you apply you have to pay and be fingerprinted again every time you apply.

Check very well, all biometrics have been updated to elapse in 10 years. I did my biometrics early July and the update is applicable to me as well as someone that had his in May

All biometrics have been updated to elapse in 10 years. I did my biometrics July 19, the same day I submitted my paper application and just few minutes ago , I checked my linked application online and I found this .

Biometrics:

Biometrics Number: *********
Date of Biometrics Enrolment: 07/19/2018
Expiry Date: 07/19/2028

jnyuwa02:


But if you file paperoute, biometrics from day one always reads “we do not need your fingerprints.” It will follow then that those who filed paperoute profile would not necessarily be reflecting this change today. Am I getting anything wrong here? As far as I know, paperoute applicant did not see the change today as their profile already reading we do not need your fingerprints from day one. Only change is in the ten year gap period specified on all applications active and closed.

There's a paper route applicant up there that experienced the same change

Ratawu:

This is so wrong unless we don't understand what background check actually means. Are you saying that CIC will discard all the checks they've done on people's profile prior to today? Only mode of update changed not the process

Hello guys I sincerely think we should stop misleading people on this platform. If you don't know the reason for the Biometric update today and you don't believe the attachment from CIC website then keep quiet and accept it as general update.

Bodmillz:


You can use the company’s SOA. I used my Dad’s company statement of account with a closing balance of 23m. Didn’t include his personal statement of account because he hardly use it too. So far he can demonstrate his commitment to sponsoring your studies through his sponsor letter, you have no problem. Got my TRV already.

Goodluck.

Your sponsor is your dad, his' is his uncle(third party) so it's a different case. Though he might be lucky but to be on a safer side the sponsor should go beyond just stating it in his letter of support that he will sponsor him and show more commitment by paying money into the applicant's account or pay his tuition

Who's this again? I don't know what makes people believe they can talk to others anyhow they deem fit on an anonymous forum like this

Please you guys should take it easy okay. It's a general update by CIC that applicants are not expected to give their biometrics after 10 years, effective from 31/7/2018.

Good day Mr Ratawu,

I don't think your assertion may be right, because it may not have been deduced from any premise. Are you simply saying people's application that have stayed 9weeks that it is today they will start background check? I may be wrong but can you enlighten the house how this could be possible because in this house applicant has been rejected within the same period we are saying so what is the correlation .I see success

Hello House,

LONG POST

@Jnyuwa02 @Mcobex @Frankrobbn1 and other house mates.....

Please find attached, a change in my profile.
Let me just break it down here for easy understanding after which i have questions to ask.
I just checked my account now and saw that "We do not need ur fingerprints" under the biometrics. And i have not done any biometrics for my re-application yet cos I just re-applied on the 28th of July. Buh meanwhile, I last applied on the 13th of September 2017 which was refused, and that is the date showing at the date of Biometrics Enrollment(as seen in the photo). Now my questions.
1. As stated earlier, I said I re-applied on the 28th of this month and I was debited 285CAD, which I think should not be, since they already have a record of my bio-metrics. So is there a way to let them know about this so I can be refunded for just the biometrics or something?
2. I have already booked an appointment for my biometrics for tommorow(I had already booked before going to my profile to see these changes), should I still go and do another biometrics or I should just ignore since my profile is saying they do not need my finger prints. Please I will really appreciate answers cos I do not knw what to do now.

From my point of view, I think you are suppose to undergo biometrics again. Because the rule says applicants that did biometrics after 31/7/2018 will not have to submit their finger prints till after 10years. Looking closely from your profile, I was baffled to see the biometrics enrollment date being last year (2017) and expiration date as (2027). Inorder not to judge by our assumptions, I'll be very eager to know if you finally did this biometrics of yours at the VFS Office.

Keep the house updated on how you went about this. Finally, I don't advise you mail CIC because of this issue at hand. It's not reasonable to do so.

I think its just a general update, and does not guarantee a medical request or an approval.

But by HIS grace, it will all end with PRAISE!!!

Please house, I would like to know what happens if one does not get his trv in time, let say an applicant is to resume on the 5th of September and on the 10 of September his application is still in progress, what will happen? Is it possible to defer to January then contact cic that you have deferred your admission to January and that you have a new LOA.. will they work with that or they will just take their decision base on the Fall admission.

And who is talking to people anyhow? Say what you know and leave what you don't know is not a crime. Stop the assumption, I don't think is a bad advice.

Hello house,

Please, I need some clarifications, I got admission to Windsor MSc. Can I use a sponsor who isn't a blood relation? Or what documents proof someone is my cousin? Please help.

Ratawu:

Ratawu,

I'll have to disagree with you on this. What have you to say to applicants whose applications have gone past the 9 weeks processing times? That, their applications are starting all over again?. I am sorry to say but sometimes your proclamations here are invalid. I remembered how you once said that paper route application documents are being scanned to the processing office by the VFS workers, thereby leaving some vital documents behind, which you said attributed to the fast refusal on paper route. Advising folks here that Online route is the best route to suit. I further requested to know how you came up with this ideology of yours, you kept mute. I can also remember some time ago, when you announced that the updated IMM5707E family form which excludes adding details of applicant siblings was fake and not the actual form to use for paper route applicants. After series of debate here, you laterly find out that it was an acceptable form to use from IRCC.

Please let's be very sure of what we are dishing out here. We should have in mind that this is a public forum and many depend on informations gotten here.

Correct! It doesn't guarantee approval nor a medical request.

Hello bro,
I'm actually a new bie.
I plan to apply for pgd in Canada colleges and M.Sc in US schools.
Of course, I know US schools require WES evaluation for M.Sc but I also got to know that some colleges in Canada also require WES evaluation.I am still confused after much findings about one thing. Can I use one evaluation for both country? Thanks for the time





Your chances of getting a visa with a PGD are as good as you make it. Try and put up a strong and convincing application. The higher the degree you are going for, the more convincing to a visa officer would be your purpose of visit to Canada. Masters degree students on the average have a higher chance of visa success than PGD, while PHD students have a higher chance than masters degree students. In that regard, I will highly advise you concentrate your effort in looking for a masters program to get into and apply for a visa with a PGd only if you cannot get into a masters program. Yes, it is possible to get admission for January 2019, infact it is the application now open for submission all accross the board in Canada. Best wishes!![/quote]

DeuxMille,

Yes you can use a Sponspor who isn't a blood relation to you. This sponsor of yours must convince the visa officer beyond reasonable doubt that he/she is financially capable of sponsoring you throughout your stay in Canada. A convincing reason to why he/she is spending so much on you to further your studies abroad while there are available programs offered here in Nigeria, must suffice in your sponsor letter of support. Strong financial commitment towards sponsoring you by paying part or full tuition fees and transferring funds into your personal/dorm account, is very crucial when it comes to third party sponsorship. Sponsor must certify the visa officer that while financing your studies in Canada, that all financial obligations must be meet i.e his/her immediate family members, business, and personal welfare must be taken care of. Evidence of history or ongoing financial support from your sponsor goes a long way to show strong proof of relationship. Furthermore, you can show proof of relationship with cousin by including your father's birth certificates and your sponsor (cousin) father's birth certificates too.. And also your birth certificate and that of your cousin as well. That's if this were to be a paternal cousin...

All the best!

Yes you can use WES valuation for both countries.

The steps to take is as follow:
1. Contact your school and tell them you have applied for your TRV but yet to get a decision from CIC
2. Ask them what's the deadline for resumption? cos some schools give 2 weeks after the official resumption date for students to resume.
If by this time you still don't hear from CIC
3. Ask your school about deferring your admission and the next session for you( not all courses have January or May intake), so you school will advise you on that.
Hopefully before all this you will hear from CIC

Noted.

jnyuwa02:


Please keep the house updated what you find out tommorrow during your biometrics. We are critically depending on you for this vital information.

Ok noted.. Tnks

I RENDER AN UNRESERVED APOLOGY TO TBE FORUM FOR MY COMMENT. IT JUST A PERSONAL OPINION WHICH MAY BE WRONG ANYWAY.
I AM VERY SORRY FOR IT
