@JustMellow please what do you mean by *get a letter to support the inflow of the liquidated cash into your personal account*. I also intend liquidating my mutual funds investment and also transferring a lump sum of 4m from my personal savings account (sent to me by my sister) to my salary account.

How do I prove the source of these funds? (I am applying as a self sponsor but I am using the money from my sister to increase my account statement)

Hello Sleekcheek,

I am referring to the reference letter that should evidently backed the authenticity of the liquidation to the specified (or specific) account that will be used for the visa application.

I think the funds coming from either your parent holds stronger weight except there is a reason why this can't be possible. Then include a letter of support with well-structured contents.

If your sister still remains the most suitable person to make the transfer to you, the funds could come as a share from a sold inherited property, loan/debt repayment or run your account with the 4m over a period of 3 - 6months by maintaining the minimum or slightly above cash inflow that is normally received. On each occasion, different names can be used as the depositor. If you're opting for the first two options, endeavour to get a document and letter as evident proof.

All the best

Luckymama,

If you continue to post things like this, you’ll gradually be dragging your reputation on the forum in the mud.

A conversation ensued here, after which you made a few statements which everybody (including you) knew was wrong. It was clearly a misunderstanding on your part. A simple apology (“I’m sorry, I guess I misunderstood what you were trying to say”) would have avoided all the insults people are throwing your way. I mean, there’s nobody above mistake. But instead you’re trying to beat around the bush and talk about irrelevant things.

Sincerely, I’ve been following up with your posts and I was honestly happy for you after I read that you got an AIP. I always look forward to your comments but with this today, I may begin to look at you in a new light.

Luckymama:


Even if you were the one who paid my tuition fees and packaged my visa application, are you God? Does that mean you are perfect and can’t make a mistake? Does that mean you can’t be corrected?

All I said is that we should give full disclosure. I still stand by what I said - it is not normal to advise people to spend over a million naira on judicial review when you have not exhausted all possibilities.

For judicial review to be the first line of advice to someone who has not even received GCMS notes for their first rejection is unfair. Assuming the person has applied several times and is still rejected then you advice such then that makes sense.

And for all of you to suddenly appear out of nowhere to start insulting me and trying to shut me up simply shows that I have a point. You people should sha be doing things with a conscience. People listen to you and make life decisions. Don’t carry that load lightly.

Good day everyone
My nephew got rejected yesterday based on "
Family ties in Canada and in your country of residence.
Purpose of your visit.
Personal assets and financial status
Travel history"

Timeline
Applied June 16th with upfront medical
Biometric given August 24th
Refusal September 28th

Profile
He is 17 years and graduated in 2018. He applied for a 2 years diploma program in a college for computer science that cost $9500 a year. His father and paternal uncle are sponsoring him, his uncle is a U.S. citizen.

Document submitted
Letter of acceptance with acceptance deposit of $500

Birth certificate

Passport and passport page showing stamp of last travel in 2016 to Dubai

For financial documents
Fathers affidavit of support

Fathers international passport

Uncles letter of support (could not be notarized due to the riot and covid that time, according to him it was difficult for his uncle to get docs during that time so that was only doc he put for uncle, this was mentioned in the LoE. Had his signature on it)

Uncles international passport

Fathers proof of business ownership

Fathers proof of landed properties (2 or 3 lands)

Proof of cars (2 cars)

Fathers Bank statement for company showing inflow and outflow of 18m with current balance of 800k

Fathers personal bank statement with inflow and outflow of 17m

In Client information
LoE

High school Transcript

High school testimonial

Mothers nin slip

Sisters birth certificate

His nin slip

and an xtra bank statement with an account with inflow and outflow

In his LoE he explained that after his program he would come back and be a director in his fathers company spear heading the IT department and how CS is relevant in 9ja,(how zuckerberg and twitter guy have been coming and all that), also explained his gap years by working in his fathers company and understanding how it works. He also has a brother currently a student in Canada. Apart from that his father, mother and sister are in 9ja

Personal I think he did well on the application and refusing him on 4 reasons is too much

Gcms note is in the process of being ordered for.

Any advice for him?
He had a lot of hope for this

Hello Autotekpro,

I believe this school is Holland college? He should consider going for a B.sc rather than a Diploma at 17, especially applying outside Canada. Given the durarion of a B.sc., his first year tuition fees should be paid and have an account opened for him where his LE will be deposited for one year. The uncle can directly send his financial and other required documents to the embassy.

From the father's financial profile, I think the funds should be seriously worked on as 800k in company account and I want to also assume his personal account has less than 8m? Even if his uncle is capable, the VO want to also understand that there is also other reliable source of funds that is financially sufficient to meet the cost of his education in Canada. At times, inflows and outflows doesn't work the magic.

If the father is able to economically demonstrate his level of establishment in Nigeria, he may not likely have any concern relating to Personal Asset and Financial Status as he's only a minor with no prior employment or work experience. Travel history will take care of itself if the other concerns are properly addressed.

Its advised to request for the Gcms notes

All the best

Canadian travel restrictions extended until Halloween

Canada extends travel restrictions on international travellers for another month while it continues to invite new immigration candidates to apply for permanent residence

@CICNEWS

Hi Just Mellow,

I can have my dad send the money to me instead. If my dad sends the sum of 4m to me does it mean it is a cosponsored application? For the letter of support do you mean a sworn affidavit of support or just a letter from my dad explaining his reason for supporting me? Also do I need to get my dad's bank account statement or will the letter of support suffice.

Please can somebody kindly help me with a school that admits mature student into its undergraduate programs without a tuition deposit...thanks and God bless

Hello,

As far as I know, no school discriminates based on age.

Please note: if you are a mature student going for bsc, you’ll have to explain to the visa officer with proof what you’ve been doing (must be meaningful) since the completion of your secondary education.

So if you have applied for a Canadian study permit once, and you are rejected, the next logical step is to go for a judicial review just because you can afford it? You won’t try to find out what was wrong with your application at least? You won’t try to fix it and apply a second time?

I noticed that he gives this advice to people when it appears from their profile that they can afford it. That was what I was taking issue with. And he responded by telling me I have no idea how things work. I may not have an idea how things work in visa applications because I am not a professional visa applicant. But I know how things work in the world. You just don’t throw away thousands of dollars when you are planning to emigrate to a new country with a lot of unknowns. You conserve as much of your funds as you can because believe me, what you expect is never what you find out there.

If it were not for all of his defenders that appeared out of nowhere to bully me, the matter would have since died down.

This place is not just a random chat thread. People (myself included) take advice from here and act upon it. Whoever is therefore giving advice here should endeavor to exercise a bit of fiduciary care and advice what you know to be in the best interest of the person you are talking to.

have a great week

Lol. Stay there and be forming voltron defender of the universe for what you don’t know. Are you aware that some of the “gurus” on this thread are actually business people? It is when you contact them outside the thread for help that they inform you there services are not for free.

He can very well have an arrangement with some immigration lawyers where he gets a cut out of whatever client he directs their way.

Somebody has been on this thread for donkey years since 2017 and is still here actively commenting because of the goodness of his heart. Lol

Yoooooo!

Respect people and their time.

Some people on this thread work jobs that pay them $100/hr. My first post on this thread is more than 4 years, and here I still am. People will come and go, but some of us will still be here, asking questions and offering our opinions.

But yes! I will ask you to pay me (for my time) if I feel like it, and at that point you will have two options. Pay or don't.

Luckymama:


I am active on this thread now because this is the stage of life I am in. If God wills and I move on to the next stage, I will move on to other things. How many of the commenters on this thread from 2017 are still here? Anxieties of life has moved them on. They are struggling with school, jobs, bills and mortgages.

But you can all believe and do whatever you want and wish.

People sha

So you think everyone on this thread is a student. And that because some of choose to stick around, we ain't moving on with life??

Justwise has been a moderator on this thread for as long as I can remember. I have been a member of NL since 2009 (July 18, 2009 to be precise). NL is our own Twitter.

Again, people like you will come and go and the selfless contributors of this great thread and website will not be subject of your childish mockery.

@luckymama
I will try as much as possible to be polite!

After going through all what you thought in your head and put it into writing condemning a fellow human like you, I wonder what your points and assumptions are for those words to be said by you.

1. Even if @frank has a connection and to get commission from any immigration lawyer whatsoever (there are 2 ways to advice- u take it or leave it) after all it's an harmless suggestions for you to have picked up on him and blackmailed him for you are not sure. (He never lured anyone- say what you know)

2. Getting GCMS notes that u claimed and reapplied till you got your AIP isn't your saviour, just take it that it's time for you to have it- circumstances do change and not that you're perfect.

3. Having a believe that everyone is poor and would want to stress their life over everything, you shouldn't be the judge of it. Judicial review works 70-80% once u have identified your reasons of refusal (after all, its not your money)

4. If next you want to advice, please be neutral for you're not an immigration officer / VO too. U can make your contributions more simple, plain and light that it would make more sense.

5. Next time, think about other peoples feelings before you drag them falsely. Don't be too loose to speak in terms of giving advice or words counter.

6. FINALLY! IF U HAVE WHAT IS CALLED SHAME AND CONSCIENCE, KINDLY DRAFT AN APOLOGY LETTER.. I BELIEVE YOURE MATURED AND NOT A CONFUTIONIST..

It will end in praise

What a day !!!


What I see here today is so embarrassing. I think Mr Frank has helped a lot of people on this thread and some of us have been silently reading and acting on his advise and come here for clarifications including the accuser

He doesn’t deserve this kind of treatment or accusation without any evidence at all


But people will be people

Let’s move on please

Positive vibes only

Hello, I got a final decision today.

• 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.



I used my elder brother as sponsor. Submitted two of his accounts;

11million and 3Million respectively.

I paid first semester tuition to the school also.

Hello NwanyiOkpa,

Sorry to hear about your refusal. I was really expecting a positive response. I hope the next one will be successful.

Have you ordered your gcms?

How much is your tuition for a year? How many years is the course?

Hi all,

I sent email with both the medical request form and e-medical slip report by 9:04pm last night to all 3 Nairobi emails (nairobi@international.gc.ca, nrobi-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca, nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca) as advised. I logged in now and saw that my profile shows medical has been updated to passed on 29th September, 2020.

Keeping fingers crossed, staying hopeful and praying for the best.

#it shall end in praise!

Akannitommy:
Thanks for the response. I will do the same to all 3 emails. But I also think (a theory though) by day 30 they have obligation to check and update based on 1 or 2 similar cases I have seen including yours. The medical update for upfront are usually resolved 1 +/- D-day for extreme types like these.

Hi Just Mellow,

I can have my dad send the money to me instead. If my dad sends the sum of 4m to me does it mean it is a cosponsored application? For the letter of support do you mean a sworn affidavit of support or just a letter from my dad explaining his reason for supporting me? Also do I need to get my dad's bank account statement or will the letter of support suffice.

Hello Sleekcheek,

Your dad don't necessarily need to provide his BS but given the current trend of how the VO now wants to know the source where the funds is coming from, you can just include the transfer page and BS cover to his account coupled with the letter of support. Before the pandemic and as a common norm with previous successful applicants, only the letter of support was used. The choice is yours.

The application remains a self-sponsorship irrespective of the parental show of love and support. Parents have the right to give their children any sum of money irrespective of their age or marital status. Ensure the tone of letter (application) reflects as self-sponsorship. There is necesarily no need for the affidavit of support but it may also be reasonable especially if he is pledging to (continually) support you financially in the future just in case of any unprecedented occurrence. If its your choice to include an affidavit of support, the tone of the letter matters a lot, take note.

All the best

Your first reply to Frank was objective but your follow up comments were emotional and totally unnecessary. This is someone that helped you in your time of need.

I agree Frank exaggerated a bit when he said you can easily recoup the Judicial review money as a student when you get to Canada in few months.

The actual reason I am responding to you is because of your comments above. I mean no disrespect, you need to fix your heart. I do not dispute the fact that some people on this thread may be here for financial gains but to suggest that someone cannot be on this forum for years and help people freely says a lot about who you are as a person.

Someone on this forum helped me in 2018 when I moved into Canada for the first time. This man took me as a son and took care of all my needs for about 2 weeks. He took me to his house, made me meet his family and took me to a restaurant to celebrate my birthday.
This Nairalander has been on this forum for over 5 years, a Canadian citizen and he is very active on here. He has helped several others from this forum before me. He helped most people coming to London, Ontario settle in.

I have been on this forum actively since 2018 and I have no plans of leaving anytime soon. I have accommodated at least 3 Nairalanders when I was a student living in my small basement for free. I have proof read several applicant's LOE and SOP's on this forum for free. I have helped people with their visa issues on this forum for free and I will continue doing that even though I am now done with education and presently working in Canada. Do you know why? In my time of need back then in 2018, it was frank who answered my questions.

P.s Till today, I have never sent an email to Frank, I do not have his contact and I don't know what he looks like. I asked him some questions openly on this forum, he answered me freely and I got my visa. I am forever grateful to him.

Just because of how weird you think, I need to put this out here.
If I have ever demanded money from anyone on this forum, please let them call me out openly.

One of the major reasons why I have stopped responding to PM's or emails is because a lot of you applicants think because someone suggests something, there is a financial gain attached to it. I must confess, It is actually hard helping some people. They will come back to bite you.

What is wrong with Frank suggesting people go for judicial review if he thinks they stand a chance? It is an advise and not by force.

Hello NwanyiOkpa,

How much is your tuition for a year? How many years is the course?

first year is $21k CAD. MAsc in oil and gas engineering.

I have ordered GCMS notes.


Since it's just one reason why my application was denied, guess i have to focus on finance for my next app.

what i submitted was about $45k CAD.
