TheGuyFromHR:
Tell the school the man is extorting the student and you do not wish to proceed on this basis.

The guy told them o, they said the rep is trusted and has been handling their students' application for many years.
They are just bent on either he uses the rep or they withdraw cas and refund. I'm really disappointed in University of South Wales. I don't know who leaves oanda rate and uses "N650" as the benchmark.

But before I advise him to do anything, I want him to have another offer first.

shoyemiayodeji:
Report the rep to the school.

Na the school gan gan dey cause the rubbish o. I later acted like his agent and sent them an email but they still refused

Blanchefleur:
If he does, he won't get any refund.

The school rep has no business with your friend.
He should ignore him and go ahead with his plans.
He has gotten his CAS already, go ahead and apply for visa with your POF and documents.

The rep held on to his cas. He hasn't seen it yet but uni has released it.

Blanchefleur:
Write the school and tell them all these, request for all communication to be via you as made the application yourself and don't need any assistance. Act like an adult. Send them series of emails.

I understand you're trying to help but the bolded came off rude.

I am actually not the person, it's a friend and I have helped him write a length email to the university and called them directly to revert it. The uni insisted that's their policy for those without agents and he must work with their rep, if not they'd withdraw the CAS and refund his deposit. Even their international advisor chatted with him directly on whatsapp after the email wasn't going well. The whole thing is just annoying.

They threatened to withdraw cas.

Cyberknight:
Has he received his CAS and if so, what does the country rep have to do with the amount of the deposit paid?

He has received his cas but they didn't release it to him. It was released to the rep because he doesn't have an agent. That uni is just freaking annoying.

The rep has placed so many conditions on him and I am just angry about the university's decision, he insisted on helping him fill his application form and he must pay for assisted service for his documents to be uploaded, among other rubbish.

The University of South Wales needs to do better, they shouldn't force their agent/in country rep on students.

For bachelor's degree, who knows unis that their tuition cost about £10k after international scholarships please.

I know University of South Wales but a friend of mine wants to withdraw his cas from them because their in country rep wants him to pay more, after he has paid £6400 and has over N8million in his account.

The rep claims he's at the border line, that the rate can go up, neglecting the fact that oanda rate is all that matters. Abeg help a friend in need

You did not understand what you read from that refusal letter, How did they know that the figure was tampered with if they did not get the original document from the bank?

They did not calculation because they have two different bank statements , one original and the other one tampered with, so where did they get the original to compare with?

Can you see that there was no "original" statement compared with? It was calculated. Anyway, i rest my case

Ezriela:
It happened Jan 25 and he has gone for AR already. So I am deeply rooting for him,then I can tag him and you

I wish him all the best in his AR

Ezriela:
Humans make mistakes, machines make mistakes only God doesn't. This happened in January but maybe u didn't read abt it or u are new here. The bank did not capture 4naira of SMS alert,the branch has apologised for their action. So to people that turned themselves to jury over it. Well done

Did the person get their visa later? Nobody is judging anybody, blame the person that posted it in May without the underlying story. N4 for sms alert, okay.

Ezriela:
Simply means the person has tampered with it. Well done ma/sir, Jury of the universe,may you and I not be victims of costly error that will make people to judge us wrongly.

You weren't the one that submitted the bank statement so you can't say if it wasn't tampered with or not.

This thing is not hard now and shouldn't be treated with sentiments. If it's a "costly error", let him/her do an administrative review, so that the bank and ukvi would be clear where the error came from. Because this "costly error" can lead to a ten year ban o

justwise:
I made that comment quoting you because of your previous comment on this issue, you stated clearly that the bank can never disclose bank balance to the embassy.

The maintenance fee quoted in that letter is for last year which could be a mistake from the ECO but the content of that letter is what we are talking about.

Apart from this particular case someone else posted a refusal letter where it shows that the embassy confirmed the bank balance of the applicant, do you also believe that it was made up?

The other person's bank statement was said to have been confirmed by the bank but there was an error in the calculations which simply means the person had tempered with it. UKVI didn't find that out from the bank but from their own calculations.

It's also possible that they can verify the balance because things change everytime, I didn't say otherwise this time. But that wasn't totally justified from the post, hence, my observations.

justwise:
I know you will cast doubt on this because you are one of those who believed that banks will never disclose bank balance to the embassy.

Sadly some naïve ones will believe this and still get caught.

I only stated my observations which was what I expected you to take note. The maintenance fee is not right, is it? And I also wasn't affirmative about the disclosure of balances this time. Same way you were asking for proofs from people who said the "new law" says they should leave the money there until the visa is out.

With regards to the initial post about bank statements, I honestly feel that the post/decision letter isn't genuine or has been tampered with.

The letter stated that the money needed for maintenance outside London is £9,135. This would have been the case if it was last year Sept/October before the maintenance fee needed outside London was raised to £9,207, but the letter further made reference to 4th May, 2021. ECO make mistakes but I really doubt this case.

Many people just like to chase clout so I would not be surprised if someone had edited something somewhere.

That being said, many conclusions drawn from the letter can't also be ascertained because nobody knows what dates the bank statement carried, if the amount reduced during the 28 days period or not and the date the refusal was issued.

JustMellow:
Hello Prisscindy,

Good to have you here on the student thread. I don't know if I clearly understand PA's situation here, but the implication of enrolling as a part-time student may impact PA's PGWP application in the long run.

If PA enrolls as a part-time student, the study or PA's academic status will no longer be considered as full-time.

Whether or not PA has yet to get the visa, all academics done online from outside Canada until December 31, 2021, upon approval or pending approval will be entered in the academic transcript.

The courses enrolled and taken as part-time will reflect so. PA should kindly reconfirm from the DLI so they can reaffirm that the already registered courses were noted as full-time or what the deal is.

Cheers!

She has finished one trimester, registered as part time, it was actually the university that registered her as part time. She registered the new trimester as part time too but I would tell her to increase the number of courses so it'd be full time.

Thank you for pointing that out, I didn't know it has got something to do with PGWP though. She's an undergraduate student, do you think it could be made up since she is supposed to finish in 4 years?

Moreover, her dad was of the opinion she changes her course to nursing when she gets to Canada.

She registered as part time because she hasn't gotten the visa yet and the trimester fees are deducted according to the credit hours registered.

Moreso, learning everything online would be difficult especially for an undergraduate

Hi,

My 18 year old niece just got PPR this morning, undergraduate study. Submitted 30th November, 2020.
Saw that we can send passport through DHL or UPS from another Canada thread, the link I got from this thread doesn't lead to the process of passport submission.

Can anyone put me through or send me the link please? Thank you

olamideadex:
I did mine at d rate of #35k in Abeokuta

Hi, was it DIY you used please? How long did it take?

Cutiemart:
Thank you, they have revised mine and upgraded it to two degrees.

Where is that person that was arguing about WES giving bachelor's equivalence if you did a diploma before your degree?

You cannot know it all, so please let people try whatever they can in this journey.

I advised that they should email WES, that a friend of mine got his upgraded even after he was given a 4years bsc equ. but the person was saying otherwise with confidence.

seyewest:
Yes you can travel to U.S, please avoid European and British airline.

Gracias

OptimusPrime3:
Hi guys, quick one please. How many times can a visa interview be rescheduled before one has to pay another MRV fee? Thanks!

You have only two chances. Book, cancel, reschedule, that's it. It might have changed though

Hi,

Can travellers with B1/B2 visa travel to the US now?

Saw that some airlines won't carry them so I was wondering

lasignor:
Nobody is assuming anything here, it is what it is. That's a WES thing. We all know ND and HND are evaluated as two or more degrees. No be me make the rules so there's no need to take me on, take WES on instead.

And if you used your ND to gain admission for the BSc, you will still study in the Uni for at least 3years (standard Canadian system) anyway, so they can't evaluate the ND as being part of the degree.

Did you read what I posted about a friend that did the same thing and had it corrected to two or more certificates just last October?

He was given a 4 year bachelor's equivalence but had it changed when he pointed it out. Had a statement of result for his one year foundation program too

Ola240:
ohhhhhhh, I understand now. They believe it was a pre-degree to the actual degree. I’ll just take CIMA or ACCA F1-F3 then. Thank you

What qualifications do you have at the moment? You don't need CIMA or ACCA if you had ND with a BSc
