I hail oh
see you at MUN internationalization office in Sept.

ILoveDLord:
Thanks chibertha!
I wish you the best!

ILoveDLord:
Please don't mind the typo errors. If any thing is not clear let me know.

NOTE I had to give all these details in order to answer as many questions

Congratulations! And thanks for all the details you have provided.

My question is on proof of funds as I'm also planning to apply as a self sponsored applicant. Is it okay to leave your funds in fixed deposit instead of liquidating it? I noticed you did that. I was planning to liquidate my money market investment and move the funds to my savings account. Also, what's RSA?

Frankrobbn1:
No, the 235CAD you paid during application submission is inclusive of the biometrics fees. Thus, you don't have to pay an additional fee for it at the VFS.

Thank you so much.

APRIL IS LOOKING VERY GOOD FOR THIS THREAD.... CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THAT HAVE GOTTEN THEIR VISA APPROVED!!!!

I'LL ADVICE WE KEEP UP THE FLOW OF USEFUL INFORMATION TO ASSIST ONGOING AND HOPEFUL APPLICANTS......(tap into the blessing and wisdom of the season).

GOD WILL BLESS AND FAVOR US ALL BEFORE ANY MAN.......... AMEN!!!!!!

Qudkom:
Your denial is simple and also complicated. Using an estate account signifies funds that are available for general upkeep for you and your family. The fact that the funds is also been accessed by third parties aside from you means anything can happen and you might not be able to fund yourself in canada. My advice would be this:
1. You have to pay your 1st semester school fees.
2. Have a substantial amount transferred into a savings account to show the money is readily available.
3. I'll suggest your mum write a compelling letter of sponsor; something emotional probably your late dad (May his soul rest in peace) always wanted you to get the best of education and if he was alive he'd be proud to sponsor you..... I hope you get the drift, this people are human beings like us.
4. Attach a Family picture showing your late dad and his death certificate
5. If you have a family business that's registered you can use it as part of your home ties. If you are going for a management/business or any innovative program then you can add it to your SOP that you want to add innovative ideas to the family business and lift the pressure of your mum etc... and that your dad would be proud.

I hope you get more advice from this forum. Good luck.
P.S: It is left to you to proove to the VO that there woll not be pressure on your family to sponsor an expensive educational program in Canada. You have to attach proof that your siblings and all are doing well financially and gainfully employed because the VO is skeptical that the pressure might be too much. It is also advisable to have funds in traditional banks that can be easily verified than investment companies.

You’ve nailed it sir

@yacha77 Liquid cash is more important to the eyes of these VOs
If you’re submitting any investments
Make sure you do the justice in Your SOP
Calculate everything with Oanda in your SOP
For example
my full tuition is C$ blah blah blah and the living cost estimate is C$ blah blah blah bring the total amount required for the programme to C$ blah blah blah out of which C$ blah blah blah has already been paid to my school bringing the balance of my tuition to C$ blah blah blah and the living cost remains C$ blah blah blah bringing the outstanding tuition fee and living cost to C$ blah blah blah.
In support of my application i submitted brothers account, my account and, please add a co sponsor. (State the closing balance of each of the account using Oanda in Cad)
A estate investment account Valued at N 15 already matured and convert it to Cad using Oanda
Saving account with (Mention the bank name) N 3 million naira as at the date of my application (also put the amount in CAD using Oanda exchange)
(Your personal account) Saving account with Keystone Bank Plc with closing balance of N 300k as at the date of my application. Also in Oanda.
“Now this is the work, sum everything together”
Therefore, the total amount of money in my sponsors account was eg 19 million as at the date of my application which is equivalent of C$ 70,288.2 using oanda exchange rate as at April 6th 2019 which is C$ 1 = N 269.20

Please get a co sponsor, pay your tuition fee (first term or 1 year) 1 year preferably
Try and be emotional in your SOP about your late parents, tell the VO the promise and fulfillment you made to them by attaining your aviation dream)
(Sorry for your lost)
Your brother should write constructive sponsorship later (He should state the amount he’s committing to your education).
If he has plenty dependent he shouldn’t list all of them in the affidavit (just 1 will do).
If your brother is earning like 7 million yearly..., in your affidavits make it 15 million yearly. Then he should mention the real estate and any Auxiliary business or job with proof).
Please try and get a co sponsor. Your co sponsor doesn’t need to have fortune. He should just show some commitment to your account.

These are the thing I can think of right now... if there’s more, I will let you know.

And again, if you have a family picture
Take a clean sheet of paper and gum it on top of the picture then you draw a line and name each of everyone of you in the picture (including your late parents)

Please if you can liquidate it please do.
If you have good amount in your personal closing balance then don’t liquidate it. And make sure you do the justice in your SOP

Thanks you boss, that's exactly how I wrote my SOP, I want to forward it to you so u can see where I might have gone wrong. Another sponsor can be a third party?. I didnt mention the investment in my Sop but only added proof. Should I have money in my account instead of paying tuition because flight schools have crazy refund policies so even them do not encourage payments before visa( I'm going to a flight school and not a regular uni).

Pay your tuition fee cause it’s clearly stated in your refusal grounds (Half or 1 year). clear that ground real quick

And again, if you have a family picture
Take a clean sheet of paper and gum it on top of the picture then you draw a line and name each of everyone of you in the picture (including your late parents)

Yes co sponsor can be a third party.
The commitment is the main thing here. Pay your half tuition fee or send your living expenses to your account

Either way is fine. In fact, I think, the more liquid the cash, the better.

I did fixed deposit and treasury bills not because of visa application but be I needed to make sum cash instead of just allowing it to be "wasting" in savings account.

RSA... Retirement savings account(Pensions fund)

Hope that helps

My able Guru frank, I hail you too.. I am also congratulating you in advance on ur PR application, cos anybody that does good will definietly receive good in return like the case of Austacus... we shall all laugh and Testify las las... Amin

Frankrobbn1:
Austacus Nwannem o! Congratulations to you bro! May the name of da Lord be praised for this crowning achievement. You've been of great help to this reputable platform and very committed to the process. I am extremely excited that your visa was approved in the long run after several months of non staggering response from IRCC. Thanks for your compliments. I wish you the very best as you en-route to Canada for your studies.

To the May, June, and July applicants, this is a clear evidence that your approval testimony is not far from now. Congratulations to you guys in advance Cc: Makano, litterbug, 042Viber12, and co. Be hopeful, something good is coming your way soon.

OK that's noted .. I think I can fire back without waiting for gcms note with all your help. Kindly respond to the email I sent through NL so we can communicate better bro. Thank you again and again Austacus and @ Qudkom. Another one is how can I reduce files and docs for online app.... Any advice on that based on your challenges during online application .

Austacus:

You can reduce the size of your application online eg ilovepdf, smallpdf, sodapdf etc so many of them.

As for the Gcms notes I will advice you order for it... while waiting for it, use the time to look for a co sponsor and reorganize your application and make it tight this time.
Then Hope on God

As soon as I got the letter, the first thing I did was order for the gcms note before coming here or calling family about it.

Good morning house. Thank you for these awesome responses and feedback.

Please kindly advice what other documents do you need to proof that someone is your guardian and willing to support your education if you cannot get him to do an affidavit as he is an old man. Getting him through the stress is a bit pushy. I have a letter of sponsorship on his letterhead paper saying he is my guardian and willing to support, his bank statement and his business registration document.

Kindly help or what else can I do to proof that claim of him being my guardian as my parent reside out of town and I have been staying with him since my undergraduate days.

Thank you.

Good morning I got this mail from cic this morning
There have been no updates to your application (S302428699) since you last checked your account. Thank you for your patience.

I want to use this measure to thank honorable justwise without you, this thread wouldn’t be possible. Thank you sir for the opportunity. I feel you don’t like me but I love you.

I also want to thank the man I value and treasure sir Frankrobben. Bro you be angel (no too much talk)

Bracha thank you so much for your selfless service. Thank you. Fine girl with the good heart.

To every hopefuls don’t give up on your dreams.

To all May June and July applicant slide in my pm, I have a secret for you guys.

I actually went to anifowoshe on Wednesday. The person I met just like me at first sight and he told me the secret then he prayed for me and wish me good luck. I may go back there and tell him thank you.

This visa suffered me.
The day I did my biometrics, VAC was still working till 8 pm that day, I left home around 7 and left VAC 7 pm. I was sleeping on steering... I almost had an accident that very day but God came through for me. So whenever I remember that day and imagine why my visa is still pending, tears will drop from my eyes and I will look up to God.

I contacted more than 150 MPs (senators) in Canada then on Wednesday I gathered mind and drive straight to Anifowoshe.

I was in the movies watching “Hotel Mumbai” as soon as they finished the movie, I saw the alert in my email address.

I will recommend you guys to watch that movie and thank me later.

God is indeed faithful
Nara ekele chineke.
May June July, don’t lose hope, your visa is sooner. Don’t forget to hit my pm.
“God answers prayers”

God bless everyone that is reading this my success story. Whatever you ask from God, don’t give up, he knows your worries. He will answer your prayer.

“When God wants you to grow, he makes you uncomfortable”

Please don’t mind my typo error. I am so eegxited.

Claraben:
@ Julbu, I have emailed you. Reviewing of my transcripts are on going at the moment as they have been communicating with me through emails.

This is good to hear...Hope it will be positive.

Congratulations bro! Please I need to know this secret o. �

If you have good amount in your personal closing balance then don’t liquidate it. And make sure you do the justice in your SOP

Thank you, Austacus. I appreciate

Prolly not for new applicants.

Tlontin:
No ooo. Check my previous comment.. I applied 2nd april

yacha77:
Very helpful and God bless you. My mum is also late and all sibling wrote letters of support stating their support and that they are gainfully employed attached with work IDs. My brother is the signatory to the estate account also. I'm planning having the money transferred to my account to show availability and fire a LOE, SOP to support purpose of visit(kindly note that I am going to a flight school which normally has no link with my degree in sociology but I have over 4 years aviation experience with professional certification.

I guess the gcms note will shed more light. No need to rush reapplying. I believe you will get it once all the details are established.

Very much noted. I appreciate you and thanks. Will keep u posted .

Go to court and get the affidavit take it to him to read and endorse then take it to commissioner of oaths to sign. Try this method
