Question on Transfer of DLI inside Canada


If I decide to change or transfer from my current school to a Pgwp approved DLI by next semester, ie Sept. When should I send webform to IRCC notifying them about my change/transfer?

Must I wait till the end of this semester or should I send it while this semester is ongoing?

If I decide to withdraw from the current school before the semester ends, will it affect me negatively, immigration wise? Irrespective of the fact that I have sent webform to IRCC notifying them about my new school starting in September?

What are the documents to send via webform apart from offer letter of the new school. Must I pay tuition of the new school first before I can transfer?

Congratulations to me again

I got my PPR on 19th January 2023

I promised to come back and share my timeline because the following week was my wedding (28th January 2023). It was really a targeted and timely prayer answered

It was my second time applying for Canada study permit.


My first application was in May 17 2022 and I got refusal in Sept 22nd 2022 on the basis of finance and personal asset. I paid part payment tuition and I used a sponsor to show proof of fund. I didn't include any property or asset. My program is professional/vocational training course that will last for 77weeks at Toronto school of management. (Although It is not Pgwp approved, but I used this school because the program suits my profile alot so I was convinced I will not find it difficult with IRCC on other reasons except finance. I also have my plans how to navigate to PR)

I have already written my timeline for the first application. Kindly check my profile.

What I did differently in my second application

I reapplied on November 11, without receiving GCMS note report. I believed I knew what the problem was. So I took the step.

1. I paid full tuition for 52weeks(1year)
2. My sponsor sent Dollars to my Dom Account which I used to buy GIC and also to show proof for remaining tuition (25weeks)

3. I bought GIC through CIBC for 14970 USD (Wanted doing 15k but due to international bank charges it went down)

3. I showed 5000USD bank statement in my Dom Account to cover the remaining 25weeks tuition of about 4600CAD. I did MBS. ( Please ensure to do MBS while showing your proof of fund)

4. I drafted gift of deed for 2storey building 'given' to me by my late father, with the help of a lawyer, notorized and stamped. Please Make sure you add a Survey plan in this kind of deed of gift.

5. I drafted a car receipt with Custom clearing documents.

6. My sponsor also wrote a sponsorship letter to show that she sent the money to me and also promised to give me more.

7. Make sure there is a substantial connection between you and your sponsor. In my case, my sponsor is my fiance and not a Nigerian. I showed many other documents to show our intention of getting married. Our Pictures, application document for our court marriage, her approved visa to Nigeria for the wedding, family and friends consent (all notorized) etc.

8. I only did 1page letter of explanation. But also included my previous SOP with a little update and all other documents I sent in my first application. No amount of document is too much for IRCC. Anything relevant you can lay your hands on, please send them 😂.

9. My pension was just 800k

10. I took part fully in the 14days praying and fasting of my church from 9th January to 22nd January 2023. Las las without God, your documents is like ordinary paper.

God is faithful. I am so happy. I asked God for my wedding gift and also I asked God to give me my own testimony before the end of the fast. God did it. I am very happy. There is nothing God can not do.


Please note, if you send me email or Whasapp regarding assisting you , kindly go straight with your questions. I will be glad to assist. But I may not be replying hi , hello, or casual chatting please. 🙏

Gilb231:
1. LOA
2. Full tuition payment for my program. It’s a one year PGD program.
3. GIC certificate of CAD10,000
4. CAC registration for my business
5. Sales/Purchase invoice for my business
6. NECO result
7. B.Sc Degree certificate
8.NYSC Certificate
9. Birth Certificate
10. NIN
11.Personal 4months bank statement. I didn’t use MBS I just scanned a statement from my bank.
12. Passport Data page
13. Upfront Medicals from my first application November last year. I did this on purpose because I wanted to know when they ask for updated medicals.
14. Police Clearance also a year old from my last application.
15. Dom Account statement showing I bought the GIC from my personal account.
16. One page SOP. Keep it simple and concise at least in my opinion.
17.Landed property in my name as home ties. Just the survey plan.

This was my second application. I was refused on grounds of personal assets and financial status even though I had paid the complete school fees. But I had most of my funds for living expenses in a fixed deposit account in my name. I guess they don’t like fixed deposits as POF for living expenses.

What I did differently for my second application. I liquidated my fixed deposit and bought GIC. Then put the balance in my personal account. I also explained the lump sums in my SOP.

I prayed and asked God to help me. I think buying GIC and paying my full tuition was my silver lining they didn’t have any reason to say no.

Thank you to everyone that has share information on here or answered my annoying questions. I couldn’t have done it without you guys. I will do my best to help others.
Congratulations to you.

Please can you include the date you applied for the 2nd time and when you got the PPR.

Also, how much was in your 4months statement. How much CAD gic did you do?


Thanks so much.

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by samy2big: 6:58pm On Oct 18, 2022
PLease i have a question on SOP and LOE. For instance
1. my letter of refusal only have insufficient fund and personal asset. Does it mean i will only write about proof of fund in my LOE or should i include every other things in my previous SOP with an additional or adjusted information on proof of fund?

2.Also, if an applicant is able to tackle the only refusal reasons given in the next application, do you think they will bring out another reason? or do you think the first and previous reason of refusal are the maximum reasons ever for an applicant. So far the profile remains unchanged?.


3. In my first application, i only paid tuition deposit( which is half of the full tuition). But now, I am planning towards paying the full tuition and then provide GIC for living expenses. What do you think about this?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by samy2big: 6:45pm On Oct 18, 2022
Joedave25:
SOP means statement of purpose while LOE stands for Letter of explanation.SOP is a document prepared by applicants (usually 1st timers) to explain their profile so far including purpose of their study in a particular field/ school; proof of fund, ties to home country etc while LOE (usually for reapplication) tackles areas of VOs concerns when applications are rejected.LOE is usually brief and more concise than SOP

It's always advisable to order for GCMS Notes when applications are denied to enable such applicant tackle areas of VO's concerns objectively before reapplying.

I hope this helps.

[quote author=Betterlife30 post=116979937]The course is not lower than my MBA. It is a professional course not educational course.

Why should they use insufficient fund as a reason to deny visa application on the basis of lower lower course though �

I thought they normally list all the reasons if they are more than one reasons �

I will appreciate more clarification on this too fams.

Dear lovely people,

I appreciate all the information i have received from everyone of you here.
This will be my first time to ask a question.

I will really appreciate your detailed response.

I got a visa refusal (Canada study permit)
Reason: Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself

Pictures with sponsor and my sister
letters of relationship support from sponsors' friends and family and also my family members ( total:4letters uploaded. 2each from both family)

Question:
1. How do i tackle this refusal next time?

2. My Option 1: I was thinking of completing the full tuition then provide a GIC of 10,000CAD , does this make sense?. (Please explain in detail). Must i also add my bank statement after the GIC

3. My option 2: A friend A friend living in Canada is offering to fund my naira bank account with the NAIRA equivalent of 10,000CAD after i paid my full tuition and then i print the statement after 1week, thereafter send back the money to him less than 2weeks. (He said that IRCC only confirms the authenticity of the statement from the financial institution NOT the amount as at date of confirmation. What is your HONEST view on this option

4. What other options can you suggest for me, i will really appreciate

5. Must i do the police report again?, apart from the deferral admission letter. which other document , must i reprint on a recent date?

6. Does it mean that if i tackle this refusal on insufficient fund well that there is no other reason to reject my application ?
