First application
Feb 24th 2016.
Refused 4th march 2016.
Reasons : Purpose of visit and home ties.

2nd application
June 21st 2018
Biometrics 22nd June 2018.
I was in Lagos for a friends wedding, decided to do medicals on 25th August 2018. Sent to CIC and my online profile was updated to passed on 29th August, same day, eligibility review started.
On May 14th 2019, I was asked to submit an updated admission letter because my resumption date had passed. I called my school and after 10mins, letter dropped, I forwarded to CIC. 24th May 2019, Original passport request dropped. Application approved.
My application took almost a year. I sent over 1000 mails (not exaggerating) regarding my application. I was sending 5mails to Lagos office and 5 to London every morning and evening. I mailed 121 MP's in Ontario province where my school is located, twice. I mailed the prime ministers office and the immigration ministers office, they responded after the third round of mails, and asked for more information which I furnished them with and I was told I will hear from them before 24th May 2019.
And on the 24th of May, 2019, my application was approved and I was asked to submit my passport for stamping. As if Gods favor is not enough for me. While I went to submit my passport after 15mins of getting PPR, I walked into VFS and did the process, got my number, the whole place was so crowded (1st time am seeing VFS Abuja so crowded), I sat down, removed the passport request letter and was reading it again to be sure if am not dreaming. Guess what guys, the manager of VFS walked out of his office, walked past me and came back and asked if am here to submit my passport and I said yes, he called me, when behind the counter, collected my passport and signed on the letter, put it in the VFS bag and that was how I was attended to. The entire VFS Abuja were surprised to see a June 21st 2018 applicant. They checked twice to be sure. I can't thank Jehovah for his infinite Grace towards me. He is the Almighty and supreme being.

Yours is nigh baba, for your selfless service alone

I think your admission can be deferred. But, you must ask the school for either a new acceptance letter or a statement or letter from them which would enable you explain things better at the port of entry.

While the visa will be for a specified time, usually for a period less than your study period, your visa can be renewed after you've entered Canada.

Just get your visa first, then you can go from there.

Guys. I can not thank you all enough .
Original passport request . First time applicant with virgin passport .

Application lodged on the 12th of June 2018 with upfront medicals.
Biometrics done on the 22nd of June 2018 . And medicals updated as passed on the 7th of August 2018 and that same day my eligibility review started.
And since then , I didn't hear from the embassy . because of the delay I lost my admission and I had to reapply again as the school does not defer ... a specialised and highly competitive programme . Fortunately I was offered admission the second time and I mailed my new admission letter to the embassy and also sent an updated statement of account alongside the new admission.
Since then , I've been bombarding them with mails.
I sent mails to several MPs, about 7 responded and took up my case , including the PM and Minister for immigration , I even extended my mails to the senators and speaker of the House and also the some Assistants or top personnel in IRCC office.

I didn't stop . I kept sending mails to anyone I see as a too official in Canada because my understanding is that they can't refuse me visa cuz I'm sending several mails(in don't know who has that thought )
And just today , I got the passport request .

Thank you everyone . special thanks to Makano(this dude advised me not to withdraw my apllication just yet and told me to keep sending mails. Makano will connect me to his office internet and tell me to check nairaland visa section for updates . I will go prepare the place for you bro, I'm your John the Baptist , yours will come in no time) @frankrobbn1 , @kpizzle ,this dude called me late in the night , shared his experience and gave me reasons keep hopes high when I was hell bend on withdrawing my application.
@Asapant, my man . You're blessed .
@qudcom, @sillysassysally @justmellow @austacus @bracha and all other persons who gives to this section of the forum , God bless you all. Good work you guys are doing ...

Thank you so much. We will expedite actions on the new admission letter.

OptimusPrime21:



Woow! This was an approval if only u submitted an updated admission letter

Pardon me to say this but I feel your cousin was at fault of not differing the admission immediately, you entered the month of April or May....though normally cic should have asked for an updated admission letter but you were meant to apply for an extended updated admission letter and info cic via mail or webform that you have contacted this school about the new admission letter... cic would definitely hold on...

But as of now...I think wat u can do is reapply with the updated admission and with the exact docs u applied with initially. on your Loe, explain that you have included an updated admission letter...thats all u need to tackle the refusal reason...

Finally, introduce your cousin to this forum....let him/her be educated

Thank you so much. We will expedite actions on the new admission letter.

5454Darese:
This case is easy. Just obtain a new admission letter and address a letter to IRCC notifying them of the refusal reason and that you have obtained an updated admission letter and ask them to kindly reconsider your application ion.. attach you appeal letter and the new offer letter and send to their email. That should do.

It's good you have a positive mindset to this....it's up to u to decide if u wanna go for an upfront or wait for the mail to drop...

Oh my God, a big congratulations to you, this is why it's good to listen to wise counsel in this forum.

Yes you should be able to do that. I used Fidelity Bank master card to pay mine.

abnoble:

chisongozi:

In place of Letter of employment, can i use reference letter because it also contain everything in my employment letter? Basically, what will the introduction letter contain?

Thanks for your prompt response.

Yes you can use reference letter. It is also similar to letter of introduction

Hi Qudkom

It is similar as they both show progression. However the post baccalaureate us almost like a second degree or should I say a certificate that boosts your previous degree and can be used for msc admission in future. The advanced diploma is often a good pathway if you have a very low cgpa and also streamlined and makes you employment ready after completion.

I have 6.7M in my personal account after the payment of my first semester tuition fee. After paying my first semester fee and securing my LE which is 3M, I have 3.7M left in my personal SOA.

The CEO of my firm is a relative from the same community. And my firm is a big firm which inflow and out runs almost 300M in the last 6 months. Huge cash comes in and leaves the account frequently because we are involved in contracts.

JustMellow:


Hello Amahjosh,

You left out a bit of detail. You didn't state how much is the closing balance in your personal SOA given that you're a self sponsored applicant. If after you've paid for your tuition fees and have your LE secured, what is the balance left in your personal SOA?

Its a good idea your employer wants to cosponsor you but how long have you worked for your employer, and what about someone else like close relatives?

If the closing balance in your personal SOA isn't sufficient maybe to cover your LE after paying your tuition fees, then your application might be up for proper financial scrutiny questioning the reason why your employer would be stressing to sponsor with the limited funds holding in the closing balance irrespective of the inflow and outflow even though if it sometimes plays a contributive role during financial scrutiny.

It doesn't make sense saying someone who's not a relative is willing to use the last 6m that is left in the account to sponsor another person who isn't blood and bone through an expensive educational journey especially if its a one man business. Am not saying it isn't possible but in this Canada immigration of a thing, the VO are suspicious of every moves made by applicants.

This is my best news of the week for me. I am so happy for u.

It is a good character to know how to listen to others, learn and execute even better than them. I am glad you did take advice and use it. Congrats once again.
