This God oooo. Congrats darling

Schonebaby:
Good morning my lovely people!
My husband and daughter just got approved.
God has done it again hmmmm....

JustMellow:


Put in your application with the old PP, you can always renew your PP and extend your SP in Canada.

Thanks.

JustMellow:


I disagree.

@JustMellow
Pls can you help me interpret this message from CIC
About VO's Views on every visa Applicant.

In assessing an application, visa officers take into account a balance of several factors such as the applicant's ties to his or her homeland, employment, family, future plans, reasons for wanting to visit, incentive to return home, and previous dealings with immigration and visa officials. Also taken into consideration are “push” and “pull” factors, that is, political and/or economic conditions or an incentive to re-join relatives who have already immigrated, which might be pushing people out of their homelands and pulling them towards Canada.

Schonebaby:

Thanks everyone. I deeply appreciate this forum. He's going on SOWP. But I dunno if I can paste what we used here cos this is study thread.
Thanks

I think you should, so that any student in similar situation can learn from your spouse application.

Schonebaby:
Good morning my lovely people!
My husband and daughter just got approved.
God has done it again hmmmm....

Congratulations sis

Thanks.. But I dont have a Diamond bank account, may use that of ma bank tho (FCMB)..

JustMellow:


Hello Makano,

Form A with Diamond bank goes well in payment to Conestoga. It takes few days for them (Con.) to confirm it.

Thanks.. Was it the full school fees you paid or Just the deposit? Cos this Flywire is way too expensive...

Chaniel:


I used Western Union Student Global Pay, it is less expensive than Flywire based on bank transfer.

If you found a way to use Form A, it's the cheapest, in any case, having a dorm account helps.

Schonebaby:
Good morning my lovely people!
My husband and daughter just got approved.
God has done it again hmmmm....

Congratulations oh!
I key into your testimony, may God do my own too.
But please I have to ask, is it that yours have been approved already or you are in Canada already. Please share some info. Thanks.

Hi @salmahhhh

I am not a guru, but I will try to help as much as I can. Also I do not have answers to all of your questions.

1. How can I tackle the employment situation? Immediately after first degree, I did NYSC, then second degree.
• Just explain what you have been doing after your second degree. There is no harm in being unemployed, but if there is a gap, and no explanations as to why the gap, then it would seem you are not busy.
• Be as truthful as possible, because it is easier to be truthful than to cook up any stories. Now what have you been doing since after your second degree? No matter what it is, put it there.

2. I did paper application. Will I have to apply for my passport to be sent back to Lagos or it will automatically be sent since it was a refusal?
• For this I do not know, but from what I have read on the thread, I believe your passport will be sent to you.

3. Language and Literacy education, and English Education are related. Why is purpose of visit one of the reasons?
• Though purpose of visit is a generic phrase they use for refusals, this can be tackled if you genuinely show you are going to Canada for study, and then tie the connection in your LOE. When you say Language and Literacy education how does that connect with English Education?

4. If I tackle all these problems appropriate for the next application, can another problem like travel history crop up?
• Again this is uncertain, some persons in this forum have used new passport with zilch travel history to apply for study permit and were approved. (Also think the VOs use this as a generic as well)

5. My start date is September 2019. When will be the perfect time to reapply?
• I think it might be too late to reapply given the current trend in delay of response from CIC, however there is no harm in trying. If you feel you have all the problems tackled, then you are good to go.

6. Personal asset and financial status.
• Do you have any landed property or anything to show you have some assets? Also your financial status is of concern because you did not show anything of yours as per finances.

7. 3rd party sponsors SOA (inflow #68m, balance 86k - I was told that the balance wasn't important but the functionality of the account)
• I do not think that is actually correct with regards to “balance wasn't important but the functionality of the account”. The balance may not be important, but I think it should be more than 86k.

Like I pointed out earlier I am not an expert or guru in this, just my opinions based on what I have learnt on this thread.

Best of luck.

Salmahhhh:
Good morning house!

I came across this forum immediately after I submitted my study permit application. Having read through, I knew I submitted an empty application. Please, I need your help in reviewing my refused application coz I plan on reapplying. I submitted the following documents:

CIC forms
Transcripts and Certificates
3rd party sponsors SOA (inflow #68m, balance 86k - I was told that the balance wasn't important but the functionality of the account)
SOP
Sponsorship letter
Introduction letter from my sponsor
Birth certificate
Passport data page
Acceptance letter from University of Manitoba

I was accepted to study Language and Literacy Education at the PhD level in the University of Manitoba. I finished with a 4.6 cgpa (masters in English Education). My first degree was also in English Education. I have never been properly employed, all I did was study.

I was refused based on the following reasons:

Family ties
Purpose of visit
Personal asset and financial status
Current employment situation

My Questions are:

1. How can I tackle the employment situation? Immediately after first degree, I did NYSC, then second degree.

2. I did paper application. Will I have to apply for my passport to be sent back to Lagos or it will automatically be sent since it was a refusal?

3. Language and Literacy education, and English Education are related. Why is purpose of visit one of the reasons?

4. If I tackle all these problems appropriate for the next application, can another problem like travel history crop up?

5. My start date is September 2019. When will be the perfect time to reapply?

I need help please, gurus in the house, see to my case.

Thanks in advance.

Hello all, I have a concern, I want to apply for my masters program in Canada, I finished my Bsc in 2010, considering the gap in the years, will I have problem with being issued a study visa?

Schonebaby:

Thanks everyone. I deeply appreciate this forum. He's going on SOWP. But I dunno if I can paste what we used here cos this is study thread.
Thanks

Please share with me privately if not here. I sent you an email. Because I have a husband and a daughter. Thanks.

Schonebaby:

Thanks everyone. I deeply appreciate this forum. He's going on SOWP. But I dunno if I can paste what we used here cos this is study thread.

Pls paste ooh, so that we can learn from it. Am so happy for your family

Congrats Dr...this is a happy day

makano:

Yes, full semester tuition. Form A could have been the cheapest but Conestoga won't give their account details.

Hi

What have you been doing since 2010 will be one of the reasons to fill the gap.
Another reason is why do you wanna go now?
Also what are you gonna study? Is it in any way related to what you have been doing? Or is it something new? or related to your BSc? These are things you need to consider.
I have seen on this thread person who have a long gap between their studies and still approved visa.

If you are able to clearly point that out in your application and LOE, and have all the appropriate and correct documents submitted, then i do not think you will have a problem.

Best of luck.

Exactly, they didn't drop their account details, Form A would have been better..

Hello guys, I'm in a state of dismay. My application got Refused and My school resumes by Sept this year.

Documents submitted:

All CIC forms
Admission letter
SOP
School transcript
Passport data page
Sponsor’s letter (My sponsor is my Dad, 7m bal)
Sponsors CAC document
Sponsors letter of sponsorship
Parent’s landed document and survey plan (Lagos)

Reason for Refusal:

Pursuant to paragraph 220(a) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the tuition fees for the course or program of studies that you intend to pursue.

Pursuant to paragraph 220(b) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to maintain yourself and any family members who are accompanying you during your proposed period of study.

Pursuant to paragraph 220(c) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the cost of transporting yourself and any family members who are accompanying you to and from Canada


My undergraduate course was Information Technology (studied in Ghana) and I'm currently serving.

My proposed course of study is Project Management (Post Degree Diploma) at UNIVERSITY OF WINNIPEG

I was introduced to the forum after my application and since then I've been scared of a refusal, well here is it. Is there anything left behind? What didn’t I do right? Please, I need suggestions guys.

All gurus I honestly crave your indulgence. should I reapply by tackling the above reasons or I request for a GCMS note while I defer my admission?

Thank you

Hello, sorry for the refusal. However your refusal is strictly based on financial grounds. This isn't something that can be rushed. Your sponsor and financial portfolio needs to be revised. Looking at your finances it is pretty much obvious you need to work on it. 7mill isn't sufficient enough considering other expenses such as;
1. Cost of caring for your supposed siblings and other living expenses of your parents.

2. The economic situation of Nigeria

3. Matter of fact if you deduct a years living expense plus tuition I think you'll realise that there is nothing left.

P.s: If you decide to lodge money into the designated account for the purpose of the visa it will be flagged by the visa officer. So you have to be careful and thread carefully.

Hello gurus

I just got a correspondence letter this morning. I applied via online route 7th of June and did biometric on the 11th and my upfront medical was updated to pass on the 13th of June. And today been the 27th of June I got a Correspondence Letter, I guess they have already reached a decision and it a refusal. Do I apply for my GCMS notes now before the final decision comes in to know how to tackle the points raised by the VO and also defer my admission to January intake 2020?

I'm not a guru but if you did upfront medical and it was updated to "passed", there's a chance that the decision would be an approval.

I'm sure someone else would still respond to your question

Hello house, pls for those who got passport submission mail, pls how many documents or pages where in d attachment sent? Mine is jst a page n getting to Abuja office 2submit my passport, i was told that a reference letter ought to accompany it or so. Is this d same thing with those that submitted in Lagos?

MsAnne20:
Hello house , I got a mail last week from my school that the deadline for payment of tuition has passed. I replied to the mail by asking for extension of payment cos my Visa is yet to be approved.
.
The school sent me a mail saying that there is no longer space for Sept intake but I can defer the admission to January. Also, the former letter of admission (LOA) should not be used for visa application as it has become void.
.
I have submitted my visa application already with the former LOA. What should be done as soon as I get the new LOA ? i.e do I have to send it via Email to CIC or go to vfs to submit?
.
Please help cc justmellow, frankrobbin1,bracha,qudkom
.
Thanks.

You can send to cic or wait for them to ask for it. CIC normally ask for an updated offer letter if the one you applied with has expired. So no worries

The gurus in d house, pls help me out. I applied for a study permit through an agent in 2017. Now I want to reapply. I've tackled the reasons for refusal.

Now, do I just go to their site, create an account and start filling the forms according to their directives, or do I need to link my application now with my previous one? If the later, how do I do it?

In the previous posts, someone said he has been trying to link his recent application to the previous one refused.

Pls help me out. Looking at my system, I don't know where to begin.
Pls every advice will be greatly appreciated.

You just need only that passport request letter (a page) to submit your passport. Its even stated on the letter and that was the only thing I submitted here in Lagos last week friday then I paid 13480 or so for passport transmission

Why not exercise patient and wait for the outcome of the final decision before taking any action. Final decision could be in favour since your upfront medical was updated to passed, its a 50/50 chance.

You will need to calm down. A passport request will follow. Just believe.
