Hello Frank.. I dropped you an Email.. Please reply at your earliest convenience.. Cheers

Frankrobbn1:



Boss, I regret to hear that your visa was delayed by the immigration officers of Canada. If you would listen to me and save yourself the stress of rewriting an LOE about your intent to pursue a diploma program which doesn't hold water. I would advice that you should simply apply for a PGD program that is relevant to your current work experience. In your next attempt, explain to the visa officer how you have strategically address their concerns and as a matter of fact your situation has changed with a PGD admisson on file instead of an ordinary diploma.


I hope this information helps.


It will end in praise

Good day House,
I submitted proof of upfront medical via webform about a week ago after getting medical request and haven't got any message confirming that it has been received. My status has not also been updated. Please how many days does it take to get status update regarding this? or should I resubmit?

I sent the webform using this link: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx

Please anyone with useful information should help. Thank you very much.

Thank you. I understand your point.

You will have to be patient judging from both my own personal experience and a few other similar cases reported on this platform. The best you can do is what you have commenced doing. Sending web forms as reminder and maybe directly emailing the country office in charge with the e-medical slip as attachment. I have been in a similar situation with no update since Sept. 3rd, so patience it is!

Thank you. I have ordered the notes

Away from the others , i don't always say anything until the Gcmnotes come around , because it helps a lot.

I don't think it boils down to Funds every time.

How about the nature of the funds ? You have 6M, Your husband has 4M, Your MOM has 20M

Why are you showing the account balance of people instead of bringing that physical money together and calling it "YOUR" money?

Applications being submitted everyday makes this people to Upgrade on their scrutinizing of documents and looking at situations.

What is there to get statement of Account? anybody can give you statement of account, the problem is the money inside the account , na ur own?

I said it earlier, "when you submit a basic application, the VO tries to build on it".... and trust me, there is no foundation here, Just people's statement of Account,.

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate.

I actually included fixed deposit of 10m for my husband in the application

I have applied for GCMS NOTES but I need to ask if I should apply as


1. Acting as Self sponsorship-
Is it Advisable I increase funds in my account, pay the tuition fees, buy GIT worth 10K CAD and reapply after the GCMS NOTES ARE BACK.

or

2. get husband to cosponsor and increase funds in both our account with GIT 10k CAD BUT ONLY ( PAYING PART TUITION OF LIKE 20K FROM 37K

PLEASE ADVICE


Also when reapplying Can I resuse my Police report, Upfront medical earlier used in August.

Most of the refusals I see here is either as a result of poor documentation or the inability of the applicant to follow the various standards and criteria set out in the immigration regulations and requirements for Canada study Visa.


Madam, the primary reason why the visa officer rejected your application was basically because your mum is the main sponsor to your application. Another reason is that your hubby personal financial establishment is very weak (3M closing balance) with 4 kids staying behind in Nigeria. How would they (spouse and kids) be faring when the entire funds meant for the family upkeep has been mapped out for your studies in Canada?. This totally makes no reasonable sense to the visa officer that you've adequate funds to embark on this project.


By operation of law, and in view of your family composition, the visa officer has no objection but to reject such application considering that your spouse is not well established in Nigeria and the incentives of staying back in Canada far outweighs that of your home country. Going forward, my advice in your next attempt is that you should properly build your husband's account statement to the tune of 10M if possible while your mum can co-sponsor your education.


I hope this information is helpful in your next application.

I think you are in the same shoes with my daughter. I'd taken her for medical exam after receiving her AIP...incidentally, the medical request from IRCC came exactly 3 days after the UPFRONT MEDICAL EXAM> i've sent webforms with the e-medical information sheet to them without feedback (only feedback was the e-medical sheet has been forwarded to the appropriate desk/office. No update on her GC Key account profile...exactly 4 weeks today.

Ok. Thank you.
What's your school and program?

University of Winnipeg and Post Graduate Diploma

Good day house, your contributions are wonderful.

Pls I need advise here!
Someone currently works as Financial Sales Executive with 2yrs experience in an insurance company, though has BSc in Human Physiology.

Now, got admission in two schools both are 2yr programs, courses are International Business Administration (IBA), tuition/living exp for 2yrs is 41k CAD
and the other is Strategic Marketing Communications (SMC), tuition/living exp for 2yrs is 54k CAD.

Concerns:
1. He can afford to self sponsor IBA which is 41k but does International Bus Adm relate to financial Sales executive enough to convince VO?

2. His traditional ruler can afford to sponsor him in Strategic Marketing Communications -54kCAD which the applicant can't afford to self sponsor. But the king is not willing to provide an account statement whether his personal acct or community acct. However, he insist that the 1yr tuition and 1yr living exp will be transferred to the student's account. Also willing to provide intro letter stating that the 2nd yrs tuition/expenses will be provided in the end of the first yr. Will VO accept this?

3. For a 2yrs course, if someone has tuition for 2yrs and living expenses for 1yr, will it be a red flag if it's a self-sponsored trip?

Pls your contributions will be helpful

Thank you

Congratulations. That was a long wait since february.

I don't think you can print the counterfoil from your GC key account. You will only get notified on your GC key account that your counterfoil has been stamped, document number, status, expiry and status date updated. This notification will be under the document status section.

When you physically get your passport, you can then print your counterfoil (which is the visa stamp on your passport)

The documents you can print from your GC key account will be under the section titled messages about your application and available to be downloaded (such as your correspondence letter, passport request letter).

Chocs:
Your GCMS note is very important. Share a screen shot of the VOs final note and your profile (age, course studied previously, course you’re going for now, age, any educational or work gap, what you do now etc) and also the documents you submitted. Without that, no one can give any reasonable advice. Also it’s important to know your exact problem so you can fix it before reapplying to avoid another rejection. The processing time shows 27 weeks but we are in a different time (covid) so nothing is black and white. People are still putting in their visa application for January regardless of the processing time. All the best

Taking the applicants plan of studies into account, the applicant does not appear to be sufficiently well established that the proposed studies would be a reasonable expense. The applicant's plan of studies appears vague and poorly documented. The applicant's prior travel history is insufficient to count as a positive factor in my assessment. Weighing the factors in this application, i am not satisfied that the applicant will depart canada at the end of the period authorized for their stay. for the reasons above, i have refused this application.

Above is what my GCMS note says.
Profile for my last application Sep 2019
Age 28years
Graduated with 2;1 in Electrical Electronics Engr and got admitted for masters in Information Technology security
Got employed at a Telecom service provider company immediately after NYSC 2016 till date
Documents submitted; B.eng cert, sponsorship letters from Aunt and husband who resides in US, their bank statements(all joint accounts) and property documents
Nb; Bank statements are well funded, even pay slips showing they are well paid annually
Also submitted their Birth certificate alongside my parents own to show my aunt and dad have same parents


Now, i want to re-apply and wish to get advice, these are what changed
Got admission to a better ranking school than the other, the first school ranked about 5k in the world while the present is ranked about 1k in the world and about 30 in canada
Using my mums account statements as a sponsor (having about 13m, could be increased if neccessary) school fees 33k
Wrote IELTS exam

Your advice is highly needs as i need opinions as to also go ahead to apply for winter (jan) 2021 as time seems limited or should i defer the admission again and apply for next year?
Also does the foreign account statement used earlier a factor?

I will answer any more questions needed
Regards

all these points to lack of sufficient funds

Good day Gurus in the house.

I made my first application in February and I got a rejection. The GCMS notes shows that the Refusal reason was based on Current employment situation and Home ties.

I have addressed these issues to the best of my ability and I want to try again. I still intend to use the same sop but I want to also submit an LOE tackling the Refusal reasons.

Please can someone help me with a sample of an LOE?

Frankrobbn1 and other Gurus please help.

Kekereekun123:

No! Point No1 is not lack of sufficient fund but how the work experience relates to proposed course.

Or do you mean the VO may conclude on insufficient fund on point 2 & 3?

Yes,for Fall2020 SP,
I received the mails today and also tracked my application with VFS.Tracking revealed that documents have been dispatched today .
NB:I paid for DHL courier when I submitted the passport.

I need help on how to prove home and economic ties.
I am single
29 years old
no landed property
I have 6 siblings and my dad is still alive but my mum is late
I am currently employed with a gross monthly salary of above 250k
Pension account of over 1m
Self sponsor, I have enough money in my account to cover my tuition and the mandatory one year living expense of 10k cad

How can I prove strong family and economic ties apart from my pay slips and my pension account?

What he is saying is that your funds are not enough. The fund available should cover your Tuition, living expenses and more funds should be available in your account or your sponsor. The extra fund should be enough to cater for their expenses while you are studying.

buggi102kruse:

Hello,

I’m not a guru but from what I know, number 2 will most likely lead to a refusal.

As for number 3, if you are self sponsored and can’t prove total funds, it might lead to a rejection too, they would want to know how you would raise the remaining money needed while in Canada without working more than the permitted time for students. Though only 1 year tuition and 1 year living expense is required to be shown, I think they will want to see how you would pay for the remaining year since you are self sponsored.

Pls advise on what next.
Applicant is my girlfriend, I am also studying in Canada.

Good day everyone. I appreciate the info so far. However, i have a question bothering me deeply..

My wife want to apply for Study permit and include our 8 months old daughter and I as dependants/spouse in the application.

1. Do we stand a chance of getting approval or does adding family members affect the chances of success?

2. Can she apply alone first and when she gets approved and travel, then me and our daughter will apply? It this a possible route? Any implications?

I will appreciate your guidance please.

Hello. I’m not a guru but from your GCMS note, your fund doesn’t seem like the problem. The problem might have been from your statement of purpose(SOP) You did not explain how the course would be beneficial to you considering the huge money you’ll be spending on it. And maybe your SOP was not well written.

13 million alone with a tuition of 33k is not enough. You need tuition+ at least 10,000 CAD for living expenses. And your sponsor should still have something left.

I hope the gurus @frankrobbn1 and others would throw more light into this. All the best

I’m sorry to hear about the refusal. Please let her order her GCMS notes to see a more specific reason.

What was her msc in? Is it related to the PhD she applied for? Was her statement of purpose well written?

What proof of funds did she submit?

Hello,

I’m not an expert but 1 and 2 are possible. But 2 might be “easier” as she can use you as home ties. But leaving an 8 month old baby behind might also raise a red flag.

If she’s applying with the baby, she’ll have to make day care arrangements for the baby and prove that it won’t affect her studies.

If she’s applying with you and the baby then you’ll need to have other ties to your home country and a good financial standing that will compel you to return to the country after her studies.

I’ll wait for the gurus to throw more light into this.

I think it is always advisable to include funds even if one has funding/scholarship.

Her SOP should also be worked on. Maybe a guru in the house can help her review it or get a paid professional.

But most importantly please order her GCMS notes right away as it can take up to 35 days to arrive. Google gcms notes and you’ll find how to order it, it costs $12. With this, you’ll be able to see the visa officers comment and work on it before reapplying to prevent another rejection. All the best.
