Hello all,

I need your experienced views please.

I got admission in the university of Ottawa and applied for student visa. I paid fess and there was almost 20m in my sponsors(husband) account among other properties etc. I just recieved a refusal o.
Refusal was based on financial status and assets, family ties in Nigeria, travel history.

I was in the UK last year, and my husband and two children are with me in Nigeria.

What do you think should be my next course of action? Should I defer the admission and restrategise or go and do PR � I’m confused.

sorry to hear about your refusal. i am also in University of Ottawa as well. please speak to the international students department and there’s an immigration sos zoom meeting every thursday for grad students. they review your application and advice accordingly.

Ideas pleasssseeee!

Hello Tobyy10,

Is this statement for your personal bank account or for a sponsor?

Did you get it from the bank yourself? Was every page stamped by the bank?

Was there any lump sum deposit in the account?

These questions might help reveal where the problem is from.

This situation must be handled properly and with care, as it could attract a 5 year ban

Thank you so much guys.

Tobyy10:




The statement are for my parents(mum and dad) and yes they got it by themselves; each page was stamped and signed and sum amount have been removed since after i submitted for their personal businesses

Phatkayconcept:


Are you trying to say that the sum amount has been withdrawn for their personal business after you submitted your app?

@Osemigho

Please see this

Osemigho:


You have to argue your case with evidence if you know the account is not fraudulent.

Call your bank and notify them. Get their opinion and way forward.

Reprint the statement from the previous statement start date to now. Collect a letter of reference from your bank.

Write a letter arguing your case and submit all the documents as evidence.

These are my suggestions. Perhaps others will know more or offer contrary but better opinion. I also hope your bank is a reputable bank in Nigeria. All the best.

Tobyy10:
When i submitted it was 14m...current balance is 8.5m

oreafe:

goodevening house ,

i wish everyone a successful new week on this journey .
i have been getting lots of pms and i would like to drop this here for everyone.

Please OWN your study permit application process, sop , everything yourself because no one can sell you better than you can sell yourself. yes get tips and suggestions on what to do but ultimately do what you decide to do you are responsible for the outcome.

i had a lot of conflicting information and contrary advise but i stuck to my guns, paid my fees and started classes , i kept sending them web forms and emails with documents i knew i had uploaded. i sent my medical and it was updated the next day even though i had submitted all two weeks prior, before eligibility review started i sent course enrollment and tuition fees payment to add, next day my eligibility review started. then i sent ielts that i didn’t need to, i was sending them email two times a week monday and thursday. early hours of the morning with title: URGENT ATTENTION .

note that it may not work for everyone oooh. but my application was already 3 weeks and i wanted answers in time to resume fall.

please don’t let anyone discourage you at all. you can do it. i am looking forward to sharing my gcms notes with you all.

documents i submitted


Admission letter from University of Ottawa
medicals upfront
personal and company bank statement since i run my own business
vac documents for my business
cute family photos of me hubby and baby
transcripts and certificates undergraduate
first masters degree transcript (australian uni)
marriage certificate
passport with valid usa and canada visa
payment receipts for hospital and accomodation when i visited last year (had baby via emergency)
very long sop (6 pages with sub headings and sections for each point i wanted to address) use your discretion

i addressed clearly why i want to do a second masters in Canada and also why i have an active express entry profile because of the dual intent rules. i quotes it for them sef i think.

i appreciate all those who keep this thread going and whose words of wisdom helps us. God will surely come through for all those waiting. keep the faith alive

Hmm. I don’t think that could be the problem.

Please wait for gurus in the house to advise you

Dear Tobby10,
Have your bank send them your bank statement via MyBank.
The MyBank process allows your bank send the embassy your authentic bank statement directly in a secured format. Your bank will issue you a certificate/ticket that confirms your transaction. While you do this, still request your bank to write a confirmation letter on the authenticity of the statement. Your bank not want to write owing to the fact they did not send the bank statement directly to the embassy as their is the possibility of alteration in between the processes.
Take note again that the embassy is not questioning the authenticity of ur SOA in blindness. There is a red flag somewhere and be careful of your responses.

Overall, let your bank respond on your behalf.

Good luck

dommakavelli:
If you're certain you didn't use a fake SOA then you're good.

Go to your bank with your parents and the letter from CIC. Ask the bank to write a letter confirming the authenticity of the SOA. The content should confirm opening and closing balance on the date it was printed. The letter should also include the date the account was opened, account number and account name. Make sure the letter has the signature of the branch manager, contact number, email and stamp.
They did not ask for a new SOA, so you don't need to submit a new one. If they need a new SOA, they will ask.


you should also get your parents to write a letter to confirm the authenticity of the SOA. And that they provided the SOA to you to support your application for SP. Tell them to include their contact details as well.

Then you should write a letter to deny their allegation. No need to write too much. Thank the VO for his/her time and for looking at your application. Assure the VO that the SOA is authentic and refer them to the supporting docs (letter from bank and your parent). Also include in your letter that the VO should not hesitate to contact you if they require additional information.
Conclude by saying you look forward to receiving approval for your SOA and thank the VO for his/her timely consideration of your application.
Shikena.

Exactly!

My sister's application status enquiry email (using the webform) was quoted in holluville 's GCMS note. holluville reached out to inform her, also send screenshot (Thank you so much brother). My sister just had her application refused for Purpose of Visit, and Personal asset and financial status, and this wouldn't make any sense because she is 17 years old.

Abeg, make una put mouth. I don't know what to think.

Have any 18 year old (or less), undergraduate (BSc) applicant been refused visa for Personal asset and financial status?

Good day everyone,

Please I need our help. I applied for my study visa in January and after waiting for almost 19 months I got my AIP last week.

Due to the long time line, I deferred my admission till June, 2021.

I received a letter of request from the embassy that I should provide my Letter of Acceptance that the one I have is no longer valid.

Please advice me, should I send the letter of acceptance with June or I should reach out to my school and ask them to help me shift it back to January, 2021.

And I want to know if Letter of Acceptance is the same as Admission Letter.

Thank you.
