Hi. Has you biometric status been updated with biometric number and all

Hi Mademan, my home page status changed from “your action is required” to “submitted”

My profile status changed from “we need your fingerprints” to “we have not received your fingerprints”.

My Biometrics number hasn’t been updated.

OBANLABAMIDELE2:
Hello good morning everyone,
Please my bank statement was printed on the 10th of September and I submitted my Visa application on the 2nd of October and did my biometrics on the 16th of October. Till yesterday that I go a mail for NSE which they said if I don't submit the required documents before 17 the of December that the will go on with making decisions on application and processing it accordingly and what they required for is my bank statement again and IELTS score. so my question is hope my Visa application will not have issues or any problem because of account statement because when it is September 10th i printed it and apply October 2ñd, that means my bank statement will be 3month by 10th of December from the day I printed it hope it will have any issues and also I can send them a webform to continue my application in the normal processing. Do the Canadian embassy really call the bank to confirm the money in the account.
Thanks.

Hello OBANLABAMIDELE2,

You were given a choice and there is no harm either raising a webform informing IRCC to continue processing your application via the regular stream. Take the SDS as an example, not all applicants from eligible countries are participants.

All the best

Congratulations to all those who recently got approved and to those still expecting, my best wishes are with you.

Hi guys,

Please o give me your opinions on this GCMS note.

33yo married woman Nigerian woman seeking entry to Canada to obtain master’s degree in comms travel to UK in 2019, no other evidence of travel financial support: husband, 2 children under 4 yo. PA has 3 siblings, 1 in US and 2 in CDA, one of which in a SP. Proof of funds: bank statements showing consistent low balance+ large deposits. PA will obtain masters in peace studies in July, works as monitoring + evaluation associate (data quality). I am not satisfied that the course of studies is reasonable given the high cost of international study in Canada when weighed against the potential career/employment benefits and the applicant’s personal circumstances. Based on the information provided by the PA, I am not satisfied that based on factors such as family ties, financial establishment and relevant travel history, the applicant will be a genuine temporary resident who will depart CDA at the end of the authorized period of stay. Application refused.

Hello Oreafe,

From what I understand from the notes, you should probably try to improve in these areas,

1. Your study plan/LOE or go for a program more related.

2. Include evidence of your travel history

3. Prior to your reapplication, build your account according to the inflows and avoid any lumpsum deposit. If any, carefully explain it and give source and reasons.

4. Your future prospect or career goal should be spelt out. Enlighten the VO on its lucrativeness amidst the current employment situation in your home country.

5. Demonstrate that your spouse (and you) are independently well-established both economical and socioculturally. Also include spouse's proof of source of funds.

6. Demonstrate how the kids would fair in your absence and steps taken to ensure that their welfare are meant.

7. Provide additional evidence that may help the VO understands the lucrativeness and employability of your prospect course and ways you've planned out to recoup the expenses back home.

8. In your letter, don't tell the VO that you're a genuine student and the VO figure that out through your filed application and good worded letter.

9. Include any relevant documents that can further help to demonstrate how your situation has improved or changed from the last.

10. Keep both eyes on your home ties.

All the best.

The gurus will know better maybe @Chocs, @Justmellow @ Frank can advise

I am inclined to think if they were not specific on the Academic you can try but let the gurus who are more experieced advise further

kelvine95:
Please guys, I am in a bit of a dilemma here.

I got this Nigeria Student Express email today. I have toefl of 110/120, and I can't afford writing IELTS again. I have raised a webform to make enquiry on using my TOEFL result instead of IELTS. What do you think?

Also, for the bankstatement, I got funding of about 26,100 CAD per year for 2 years. My tuition is 18.3k cad and I have over 4,000 cad in m bank account. Can I send them a merger of the funding letter and the mybankstatement verification slip?

Please advice guys! I will honestly appreciate.

@frankrobbn1 @chocs @justmellow

Hello Kelvine95,

In regards to using TOEFL in place of IELTS is something I am not sure of because the requirements clearly states IELTS. Being that the NSE is relatively a new stream and no application has been successfully processed completely through it for the techniques to be understudied.

Its no different from the SDS but with few tweaks in requirements. You may want to find out if you're the curious type. You can as well help us find out if TOEFL would be accepted despite it not been stated. If its not accepted, your application is likely to continue to be processed under the regular category but again, this is your decision.

In respect to your funds, it seems okay as you've stated.

All the best

silvamania:

I remodified this post. You can use the General for NSE since its for immigration purpose.

Hello Nairalanders,

Which is the best study pathway for immigration to Canada?

Here is my profile summary,

I have B.sc and M.Sc in Economics and also obtained ACA (Chartered Accountant).
I have 10 years experience in Accounting, Audit and Finance.
My CRS score is around 460 and it seems quite low for Express Entry ( Pls share other means to enhance it)
I really want to relocate to Canada through study program as this seems much available.

Please advise on the funded M.Sc or Phd programme that fits my qualification and work experience.
I will appreciate if you can also share university links for this.

Thank you to all Nairalanders

Hello Fareemah,

If you're already in the EE pool, you may look at PNPs or use the next 6 months in learning French and try to score CLB 7 if possible. Your CRS score will be above 500 and if your above to get a nominee from any province, your CRS score will be above 1000 sufficiently enough to get ITA.

All the best

brovaSketch:
Hello fareemah,

I am not an expert but I'd advise you to take short professional certifications or french classes that can boost your CRS score, you have a very interesting profile and stand a chance if only you can add few certificates to improve your points. I really think that the Express Entry is a better route.

Praise at last, is the watchword!

Hello BrovaSketch,

There is no need for a professional course since a Master is amongst the possessed academic qualification. The best options to boost the CRS score is taking TEF/TCF as you've said or PNP, or to retake IELTS and max out.

Cheers!

From what i read from Indian applicants (remember that they do SDS that requires IELTs ). You can use IELTS general, however u may send them a message for clarification or tweet them.

BTW, When did you submit your application,did u submit upfront medical, what type of bank statement did you use (Normal printout of MyBank Statement),
I sent you a msg, kindly check you mail

silvamania:
Good morning all,

I got a message for additional documents regarding Nigeria Students Express Entry

I am to submit one year bank statements
IELTS


I want to inquire if my IELTS ( General) will work or what line of action can I take ?

Thanks

fareemah:
@brovaSketch - Thank you for this
Please can you suggest any professional certificate that can add to my CRS score ?
Any suggestion as regards where I can get good French classes in Lagos?

There is no professional certificate you can do at this time that can boost your score. You should ask questions on the EE thread.

Olayinkaji:

Sorry your 2nd application was an approval. Congratulations, that was very fast

I hope so.
Not heard from them yet

Guys pls help, I have browsed through tons of schools but still not sure the ones that are more likely to give admission. My CGPA is 3.63, Second class upper but I applied to Queens University last year, I didnt get admission. Bla bla bla we are not offering you admission, the admission process was very competitive kinikan kinikan.

My friend too who applied to University of Ottawa too with a 2.1 didn't get admission.

I Don't want my money to waste this time around biko.
Will I get admission with this CGPA.
What options do I have? My first degree was in law.

What schools are more admission friendly and not too competitive. If they say 2.1, is it 2.1 truly abi they have other things they look at.
Note that I want to do masters in Law and not all schools offers it. Memorial university, University of new Brunswick etc do not.

Epp

Insanity:


Thanks. Whenever it comes, I am ready. My classes will resume January 7, I can even do online till second semester.

Seriously, what do you think of the delay? I read your post on the second Covid19 wave and plans for another lockdown, do you think that's the reason?

ATM I'm not sure of why PPRs have delayed more than 24hrs and more are still getting BVLs.
Could it be that they're trying to clear the backlog of passports already submitted some 3-4 weeks ago? Know that almost everyone sends in their passports within 24hrs
Or are they trying to introduce Stargerd Process ?

Honestly I'm not sure.
You guys should wait for tonight again around 2-4am to see if you'll get PPR request.

Maybe the gurus in the house can throw more light on this as they may seen cases similar to this in the past.

Lekiboboe, Frankrobbn1, Justmellow, Lekiboboev2, Pee2jay9 Anon123 please shed more light for them.


So we too coming behind can take note and maybe prepare

Can somebody gimme a link to Scotland study thread. seem not to see any thats active like here or am not doing it right

Good afternoon house and the gurus,

Pls I need advice on what to do regarding my application with respect to the Nigeria Student Express. The bank account am using is my mum's account that is domiciled in the UK. My first question is how do I submit the online certificate since it is not a Nigerian bank.

@Lekiboboe, @frankrobbn1, @justmellow, @Lekiboboev2, @Pee2jay9 Kindly help out.

Secondly, in my application I said my two kids would be following me but I am yet to apply for them because I had to apply for their passports newly(they are few months old), hope this won't have effect on my application.

Thanks in advance

Oga JustMellow,

Please I need your input.

I'm currently working at company A.

I have another company B willing to give me the job offer letter as proof of home ties to the V.O.

Will it fly if I submit my application with company A as current workplace in my C.V bearing in mind that salary payments, pension payments will reflect from them in statement of account and also also submit job letter from company B as proof of home ties: all together.

Wat is your current job role/experience.
A car is not a home tie because it depreciates.
your wife, daughter and present place of work can serve as a home tie

Anon123:

IT Project Implementation Lead

I also just registered my own company
So I intend to submit that too
