Frankrobbn1:



My advice was based on my experience with several applications and the functionality nature of Kenya, Nairobi immigration office. In most cases my guidance appears to be factual, however, the odds were in your favour and it was a crowned success in the end.


Congratulations! I will further advice you to courier your passport through DHL to Accra VAC for visa stamps since the Lagos and Abuja VAC is temporarily locked down due to the ongoing anarchy that has befallen Nigeria. I know a few people that have followed this route and have gotten their visas stamped (please note it's at your discretion). If possible, you can as well confirm if any of the VAC in Nigeria have started accepting passports.


It will end in praise.

Please Mr Frank
If we send it to Accra with DHL. I assume we will pay the return leg, of which I do not know the amount and include it in the package? I honestly do not know the way to go about this.
Thanks

Hello Onweke,

You should thread carefully with any lump sum deposit given to be the major concern for your first application rejection. I want to believe you provided evidence to support the lump sum deposit in your first application. If you didn't or you did but didn't shed proper insight on how the funds came about, then I may want to think you're on the right track based on the name narration from the land sales and the Deed of Transfer (the copy of your survey should be photocopy) couple with Sales Receipt as the lump sum evidence.

If you feel your initial SOP is good and well-suited to address yoir reapplication study purpose, you may include it or restructure it if the need be. The LOE can focus on how well you've addressed the visa officer's concern regarding your funds.

It may even be more better to wait and run your account adequately with the available 7m. This would go a long way to demonstrate your economic level of establishment and self-sufficiency in your home country. Anything you do, ensure you clear explain and address the VO's concern convincingly that the funds isn't borrowed.

In my opinion on using a Gift Deed as POF for study permit application, I have never been a fan and I have always tried to discourage it because I have not seen or heard of a testimony. Maybe others may have seen or witness but if true, the success story maybe very few.

All the best

PPR DROPPED. How do i start ooooo......

my journey started in 2019.

I graduated from Nnamdi Azikie University with 4.25cgpa Mechanical Engineering in 2014

I served in 2016(NYSC). I DON FIND JOB TIRE OOOOOOO.
At a point, i gave up. I stopped applying for jobs. I just focused on playing piano in my church, and also, my father's business.


I was accepted into the university of Saskatchewan for Msc, 2019.

Then i was accepted for 2019 september term.

I was dupped of 450,000 naira by my friend's agent. Very long story. Then, i found out in August 28th 2019. By Then, it was already late. so i deferred again to 2020 January. I applied again through another agent. My money was refunded after wasting one month of precious time. I applied again, late November myself. No help from anyone. i gathered all documents with small account statement. I was denied in January 2020.



At this point i almost gaveeeeeee up ooooo.

But i picked up the courage again. Then i gathered all required documents and then appled again in June.


SUBMITTED DOCUMENTS

ACCOUNT STATEMENT
LETTER OF EXPLANATION
Sworn Affidavit
Sponsorship letter from my dad registered company.

Don't ever loose hope. GOD has always been my strength. Don't listen to anyone that says otherwise.

it took me 2 years before i was accepted for my masters. GOD helped me. HOLY INFANT JESUS helped me.I don't want to sound too religious. I am not. But i got this admission after i asked INFANT JESUS for help. HE told me that i will be accepted 10 days after applying for acceptance by a professor. IT HAPPENED. FEEL FREE TO DOUBT OR BELIEVE.


Please don't loose hope.

GOD is GREAT. I have my reasons.

TAKE CARE

Congratulations to you!

Just to add something. Transcript is not unnecessary to everyone. It really depends on your situation. If you don’t have work experience please kindly attach your transcript.

Update from

Cambrian College, Sudbury. ONTARIO

From all indications,
a DLI with a COVID-19 Readiness plan is now a yardstick for an Applicant to get updates via his/her Canada Study Visa Application from IRCC. (BVL >PPR)

adefunkeadelaku:
Please guru's, I graduated in the year 2009, studied environmental biology, I came out with 2.2, can I apply for masters or it has to be pgd, am looking at university of saskatchewan.

Chocs:
Honorable, I don’t think this attached picture is saying that. It’s not in anyways saying they won’t get BVL or PPR if the school is not on the list. It’s in fact saying they should keep processing their permits.

Chocs:
Honorable, I doubt it has anything to do with not getting a BVL. Applications are processed by different officers and affected by so many other factors, So BVL is not always according to when the application was submitted. AIP is already pointing in a positive direction. Your friend should keep calm and stay positive.

Best wishes

Lekiboboe:

Yes they would, but according to the response from the international dept. of the school
based on an IRCC Webinar
It says,
All the applications will be on hold if the said DLI is not yet on the list. only those application who's DLI's are on the list will be prioritised and also advances to 2nd stage.

Reason why am assuming that its applicants whose DLI are on the COVID-19 readiness plan are the ones Updates on their application.

Hopefully all will turn out well for other expectant applicants

nayo10:
