Hello Chikaima18,

Big Congratulations on moving to the next stage of your Maple Journey. See below.

rebecausoro:


Two copies of signed consent forms
Two copies of passport
Passport itself
Passport request letter

Ensure that your passport is insured by the courier company. I paid extra N2,500 for that.

Hi I saw that.

My enquiry is regarding the slip.

I no longer have the slip issued to me when I did my biometrics about three years ago. So am asking if I can attach my bvl instead of the slip.

Thank you.

Thank you to every single contributor on this platform. From the gurus to everyone assisting and replying questions. I made my first application as a complete novice without checking nairaland, and only started reading threads here after refusal which helped me repackage and refire very well.

Like I've learned here, "It will end in praise!". I'll add, "...and it will continue in praise!!!" to that ever encouraging statement.


I wish everyone of us good luck and success in our journey to Canada. God bless us all!

please what was the content of your BVL?

Hello Olu98,

I will leave the choice to you.

I was the sponsor. I had about 20M Naira in my personal account and 25m Naira in my business account. Also, I had certificate of investments in Agro companies worth about 30M Naira and property documents worth about 40M Naira. I would post the excerpts from the GCMS notes shortly too.

Chocs:
Hello,

Sorry to hear about her refusal,

The worth of your property does not count in regards to the money available.

Property serves as home ties (something to compel you to come back home after your studies)

The money available for studies must be liquid. That means it must be available in your bank account and accessible. She is required to have 1 year full tuition + 10,000 cad for living expenses.

Who was her sponsor? I always advise the sponsor to transfer the 10,000 cad to the applicant as a sign of commitment.

She can also pay her tuition fee ahead and attach the receipt (check the refund policy of the school before paying)

Also did you order your gcms notes to see the specific concern of the visa officer? The reasons given in the refusal letters are usually generic and not specific. Order your gcms notes to see the specific reason.

To order the gcms notes, google “gcms notes sites Canada” choose any of them and apply for the notes. It costs about 20 cad and can take up to 35 days to arrive.

All the best

Thank you sir. You all made it happen. Special thanks to you @Justwise, your wise counsel over the years served as reference materials all the way through.

Hello Akannitommy,

You knew what you were doing. The brief about your application is apt. Congratulations and good luck on your rest journey to Maple land.

Evening guys

please I have a question.


As a first time applicant as undergraduate,Should I use my WAEC result printed from cafe(common one) or the official one directly from waec?

I just checked the new list Fanshawe is not there.

Were you charged 10% of the property value for the evaluation?

JustMellow:


Hello Sleekcheek,

Situation varies. For undergraduate study and depending on the situation, the WAEC certificate is relevant. NYSC may also be relevant to explain gap(s) as a fresh-graduate visa applicant.

Sorry, I have to talk about the aforesaid as I think it may help someone. In your case, the WAEC isn't necessary neither is your NYSC. No harm including them also.

All the best

Spotlights:
Please what's the date showing on the updated list as I can still see 20th october as at the first announcement

Hopefully before the end of the week I get an update.

Hello JustMellow .

Thanks for this , do you mean she shouldn't have uploaded her transcript since she had poor grade ?

JustMellow:


Hello Mideyo234,

If you didn't include your academic transcript, then, the fault comes from you for the VO to have been able to know about your poor grade. This may have been given as reason, thinking it will suffice enough to prove your study intent and its importance on why you're embarking to study in all that huge expenses in Canada.

In the sentence that the VO mentioned the occupation of you both parents, it meant to be only an acknowledgement of the information and nothing more.

You were refused because of home ties, current employment situation in home country and purpose of visit. You may have not been able to argue on the importance, relevance and what necessitated your decision to pursue the specific course in your study plan. On the balance, in your next application, and since you've previously talk about the poor grade, you should strongly argue on how it won't be disserviceable to your study in Canada. Point out your strong academic strength and briefly demonstrate how you have improved as a student.

Ultimately, the supporting reason(s) for your refusal is stated by the VO in the last three sentences as "insufficient information," in order to understand your situation and to make an informed-decision. Address your ties economically as a prospect (considering your age) as well as any available ties belonging to your parents.

All the best
