My bank says it can’t do more than 3k USD, the payment instructions were 12k usd. The option is to source black market and put in dorm and initiate.

If I may ask, what bank did you use?

Can I send you a mail for more info?

impeccablerose:
What feedback did you get from your bank?
All you need to do is to take the payment instruction to the bank and fill a foreign fund transfer form. The bank will process it. Ensure you have the sum you want to transfer in your dorm account (in the selected currency).

Hi, been a long time people.

So I need help. Anyone able to deposit funds in GIC with CIBC? I am having issues doing this and payment instructions generated will expire on Tuesday. Can someone who has done it help with info how he/she did it? Thank you

Please give it a thought. So sorry for the news. It’s safe to say most applications that take too long don’t come bearing good news.

And I always believe in something, do your best to address refusal reasons so it won’t affect your applications to any other country. I really don’t know the extent to the checks they do when they share information. See it this way, 1/2 refusals is same with 5 refusals. So all die na die. God strengthen us all.

Kindly take August to rest, wait for notes, restrategize and fire back September.

EmeeNaka:
My application is Refused. Based on Family tie in Canada and home country, Purpose of Visit blah blah blah.
I doubt I will Reapply. I don't know if I will like to go through this kind of waiting again, I will still give it a thought anyway.
I don't know why but I feel relieved.
Thank you all for your prayers and support.
I wish Everyone, best of lucks.

Yes, it’s in the works. I do not want to change anything about my application incase my consultant finds my file fit for JR. But if it’s a reapplication I will definitely do GIC because my fees now has literally been fully paid. I think I just have about 628 cad left. So GIC of about 13-15k do.

Thanks for your feedback.

JosephYemsol:


I'll strongly advise you to go for GIC please please...

Thanks for always checking on me. It felt like I have known you for a while now. Thanks for your concern and care.

@RollyA
Trust you are doing well.
Have you gotten your GCMS Notes? If not I hope you have sent them series of webform.
They can't be delaying application and still refuse to release GCMS Notes

Been a minute. Well done. Needed to be away for my mental health. There’s light at the end of the tunnel.

2nd notes I ordered came back blank, most of the info were redacted. So I’m waiting for the third notes due September 11. It’s unclear if I’m doing JR or reapplication till I see my notes.

So I got good news today while at it. My school, Royal Roads awarded me 5,000 cad aid, that’s like clearing my remaining tuition of 4900 having paid 28k already.

I believe it will help my next application as I only need to show living costs. With this development it’s almost as though I should do GIC and reapply but unless my consultant says so. I just told him of this new development and I’m waiting for his feedback.

What do you guys think?

My own humble advise to the applicant is wait for your notes. His case and mine are similar. My uncle sponsor and mum co-sponsor and the RCIC I am consulting with asked three questions:

Did you show ties between your parent and your uncle.
Did the person related to your uncle whether dad or mum do a letter attaching birth certificate showing both their parents names are connected?

Would you say you did your best by connecting the ties? I shouldn’t assume they will do their own check, most of the time they rely on whatever they have in front of them, don’t forget they have barely 1 hour to peruse each application. Forget that 4 month eligibility.

Again, you can’t conclude your uncle sponsoring you is the issue until you see your notes.

If I’m reapplying my consultant has told me to pay entire fees and do GIC. If still you are denied for personal assets n financial status, JR!

Like I said, our cases are similar but till my notes are out before they know what step to take.

bollybeejay:

First of all you can't come to fact that the usage of your uncle faulted your application
Secondly don't make any attempt to backdate or alter any statement of account for the purpose of deceiving the system as such could result in being found inadmissible in Canada and could result in a ban
Like you have stated if you can prove your relationship with your uncle and your uncle can show commitment by sending your living expenses into your account and also prove the existence of his business that will go a long way, you can also use your mom as a co sponsor to your application. If it's really necessary to sell a land of that amount you must be able to explain the source of the funds with proofs eg proof of sales of the landed property with deed of agreement and land sale receipt but if your uncle and your mom are used rightly you might not need to sell the land. Just make sure every lump sum are also explained.it will end in praise

Ok will do.

Thank you.

Mine too aren’t here yet, I plan to mail them if I don’t get it by Tuesday.

dfutbolar:

Please do well to share the opinion when the notes come in. Notes taking forever now cos the one I requested for in July is due and when I mailed them I was informed IRCC has not released my file to them.

I'm having a similar case to yours hence I ask you keep us updated. Will be much appreciated.

So I know if i just rather be self sponsored than have a sponsor and not having all birth certificates and pictures and all to prove

Coffee is now cold. Lol.
I’m doing ok. I think.

Pretty much no action for now till notes are now, been 2 days due. Plan to send a webform by Tuesday if I don’t get it by Monday

Teemenzo:
RollyA, what's up. I hope you did not forget to take your hot coffee. All in all, success is inevitable. Its Forward Ever Backward Never.

Enjoy

Hi, thanks for checking. Not yet. A consultant has reviewed my application from the surface, says I may reapply but till my notes come before he will be certain I won’t need JR. Said I didn’t do much with proving relationship between my uncle and I, no birth certificate showing he’s my dads brother, among other little things in his own opinion. A lawyer is currently reviewing also and am waiting for his comments.

thanks for checking in, I came to reply cos I got your mail

Oyesquare10:
@RollyA
How are you bracing up? Have you gotten the GCMS NOTES you are expecting?
Seriously routing for you.

It will end in praise

Personal Assets & Financial Status

My first preassessment notes were vague, in fact i still don't understand it till today as attached.

I did a lot of things differently despite that in this second application:

I paid 28k out of 33k of my tuition through my mum, she gave me 7m which i immediately used to pay 20k cad (in my first application i paid only 7k)
I showed 10.3m in bank account (MBS) (my sponsor gave me 6m since last year Nov and still standing in my account, balance of 4m was my savings) (funds were still intact)
i had mutual funds of 1.4m (since first application)
I had 2.4m in pension ( got a letter from PFA 25% is immediately accessible) also since my first application
i attached gift deeds for both my uncle and the new funds my mum gave me
My uncle showed over 18m in his bank plus introduction letter showing his net worth
My mum attached a retirement letter and stated that she had funds from her 32 years of working, she also had a balance of 4m left to show she will be fine
I included study leave and evidence I got a promotion last year and commendation for stepping in an acting position as MD.
My husbands business docs, showed also 2.3m in his account, he had 2m as fixed deposit (same with first application)
I attached his land docs and added the survey in the second application
i bought shares almost 500K to establish assets (new)

I have ordered for my first and second notes, maybe I should have ordered final notes from my first application because i used preassessment notes while my application was still in progress to apply.

I am numb, I am sad, I feel like all my efforts were in vain.

I had ordered my notes last month to see what was happening and they are only due tomorrow, i guess they dished out the refusal today so i wouldnt have time to ammend.

EmeeNaka:
Chai!!!
I can understand how you feel right now. This has saddened me too. So Sorry about this.
What is the reason?

my application was refused. same reason. i am so heartbroken. how can i be refused for the same reason, twice.

RollyA:
BVL just dropped. God abeg o #april17th

BVL just dropped. God abeg o #april17th

I am just privileged to have good directors that understand, i have already informed them that i will be with them till year-end, considering that no decision has been made till now, i cannot go with September intake neither can i travel earlier than 4 weeks to resumption.

I dont see myself shouting happy new year in this country, thats all i know

ritzzybaron:
Asin enh! Rolly you have said it all. We have made such commitment with this Visa application and can almost not have any options on standby. With the fees I’ve paid, I can’t even think of going somewhere else like the UK.

I took study leave from work o, that starts early next month. With my timetable… it’s not even possible to have a full time job and study.

If we are in Canada, we would have been working part-time along side studies and be saving up more money.

Sometimes I just get angry for nothing but only me knows what is wrong with me.

IRCC better comes through ASAP.

yes, it indicates that my study requires coop, so two permits will be issued, work and study permits

afrobrown2000:
@RollyA wow....pls what does the work permit notes indicate are u going for a COOP program

True, i think you are right. cos on my application i indicated i had 69k plus but on the gcms notes, available funds quoted was 68,500. so its clear they inputted it. i always assumed it was what the computer inputted. we learn everyday, thanks for the insight.

TennieYF:
I don't think so, because I also selected it and uploaded my coop letter and it's not showing in mine

i actually thought those things are system generated since one selected and provided evidence of coop from the beginning.

TennieYF:
Amen thank you! Your coop has been updated, mine nothing yet

Amen. Thanks Frank! i have been taught patience on this application. my second note is due 12th of August, if nothing material has changed, then e mean say, i gats increase my fast from 3 days to 40 days. Thanks for your words of encouragement

Frankrobbn1:



Don't be discouraged if the eligibility review hasn't updated on your GCMS notes. A decision can be reached on your application in a matter of hours or days. Keep sending emails and webforms.


It will end in praise

TennieYF, see my notes too, pretty much same with yours. it only means nothing has happened despite that my eligibility has started since April 18th or the notes were not updated.

Fingers crossed and mountain praying and fasting

Hate to say this, but welcome to the club, eligibility blank gang. Compliance verification should read required anyway but it means almost nothing as most notes have compliance verification required

TennieYF:
Good morning everyone, I just received my gcms notes yesterday and eligibility is blank, also no pre-assessment notes.
It says Compliance verification- pending

What does this mean? Awaiting your response, thank you.

would you rather have silence then? i mean i get but its something. i would have that better than not getting an update at all.

EmeeNaka:
AIP is nothing o. A lot of people got AIP and later got Refused. Nothing to predict with IRCC.

I can relate. I think the AIP thing helped, you had a glimmer of hope or at least you can make minimal plans with that. If I had AIP at least I will know directions and steps to take while waiting for PPR.

ugurus:
The deafening silence is just annoying at least give us some information. Some people may have other alternatives.

That’s where I feel I fault their processes. Those ones with intakes that have no close intake deferral should also be prioritized. But there’s no way they can also know if they aren’t even checking the applications.

I have lost 2 job offers because I was waiting and I didn’t want to resume a new place and leave them stranded in 2 months because I want to travel. I also can’t consider UK cos I have paid over 10m in tuition to Canada and I can’t begin the process without withdrawing that.

It is well… na we Dey find something

EmeeNaka:
it's not better to push the remaining Applications to January. A lot of us can't defer to January, most of us can only defer to next September Intake. It's just a very bad thing IRCC is doing. Their staff are now only replying emails and not working anymore.

I doubt much, they may only revert to the AIP process if they want to insist on virtual learning. What i see is, they are pushing the remaining approvals to January probably because they have met their threshold rather than just deny outrightly which is even better.

My school has already deferred my admission to January, however I dont intend to update IRCC since my LOA is still valid till 6th of September

EmeeNaka:
I think the IRCC has stopped issuing PPRs. If there is no Passport Request today, I can state that PPR is no longer gonna come till October for January intake.

Congratulations! i tap into this testimony in Jesus name. Delay is not denial. I have worked, toiled, saved, spent, so grace will cover the rest. #april17

STRICK00:
HELLO EVERYONE I HAVE BEEN A SILENT READER ON THIS PLATFORM


HELP ME REJOICE, MY PPR JUST DROPPED ON MY 6TH APPLICATION

I HAVE BEEN IN TEARS SINCE 5am WHEN I SAW THE UPDATE

I WILL COME BACK TO SHARE MY STORY

Sure. Here is her website

https://www.beaudoinimmigration.com/

GodsGabby:


I was unable to get her details, please could you share it with me if you got it.

I’m telling you, I’m glad many ppl listened to the session. It was insightful and useful. That’s like the first time I will see through the eyes of a typical VO. God knows that God forbid my decision isn’t positive, I’m hiring her for the next

GodsGabby:


If you have the patience and also money, please JR.

I would advise people to watch the video on KSA IG link RollyA shared.
This VO just love to do anyhow. When people begin to JR they will wake up. The reason they give are so bogus and generic, and yet they waste so much time handling applicants file before passing refusals.

Get a good immigration lawyer.
And the funny part is when a lawyer steps in you see them acting fast on ur application.

JR if you can. What local options did you have, and where do they get their info? what evidence do they have? That alone is enough for you to win the case. The only concern is ties but they themselves have said you have some economic ties so that should count.
Also your siblings, are they on legal status and not that they filed for refugee or became a burden at some point? Also have they finished their course? have they progressed? If no then that’s the problem and what should be addressed with strong LOE. If yes please JR

Tarama:
Hi guys,

I have attached my refusal notes below, please help on how to respond.

Profile:
I applied for PGD in Advanced Business Management, and I work in a bank, previous degree in Finance. Wrote a detailed study plan to explain how the degree will help with career.

Have siblings in US and Canada.

Dont understand the employment part cos I have a good job here and showed documents to prove this.

@Lekiboboe
@JustMellow
@Frankrobbn1

Something on KSA's instagram page is worth looking at, there may be no guarantee of people getting decisions by August 6. let's see what IRCC themselves say

So i am trying to see if i can make sense from the trend and from people who have gotten decisions? Did anyone submit a complete application (meds and biometrics) before May 15 and still has not gotten a decision. for me i did my meds May 11 but my account did not get updated till May 20.

Beebeegirll:


April 16th here

IRCC please we are sorry.

This silence is deafening! #april17th
