Hi everyone,

My SOWP application and SP applications for my 3 children were refused sometime in September 2021. I applied for GCMS notes on October 1st and received the notes today (December 11th). It took about 71 days for the notes to arrive.

The VO's main reasons for refusal have been quoted below:

“Adult male and 3 children intending to join spouse/parent in Cda, currently in status studying a Masters. I note that spouse’s application was submitted.

On that application, husband and 3 children were listed as non-accompanying.

No guarantee that either will find work to support themselves and 3 children. Given that all deps were listed as non-accompanying and that SP adult recently arrived in Cda, I question the truthfulness of that original statement. Entire family travelling together reduces socio-economic ties to Nigeria. On balance, reviewing all documents before me including information available in the original SP application for adult female, I am not satisfied that PA would respect T&C of entry and leave Cda by the end of an authorized stay.”

Please, GURUS in the house should suggest how I can tackle the refusal reasons.

Please, if you have found yourself in a similar situation, how did you come out?

Thank you in advance of your useful comments.

(Pls note: Wifey travelled to Canny since early Septemer 2021)

I am very sorry hearing about this because the VO's excuse is not valid unless your application was not watertight enough. I won't advise you to reapply without consulting an expert on this. I am not an expert so please don't contact me for this. There are two possible pathways here. A judicial review or a reapplication but in both cases you need an expert immigration consultant.
Aside this, please you need to clarify something is your spouse on anh form of funding or is she paying her tuition herself becos i seem not to understand the work part the VO mentioned. Also did she use her family as home ties?

I know about the Nigerian own but have you witnessed or experienced someone who was denied on transit by a different country entirely that isn't even his or her final destination country that's my question ?
According to her she used Lufthansa
And was returned in germany

TheGbemisola:
Hey guys quick question. If your flight is transiting through US. Do you need a transit visa?

Dofrenzy:
They were turned back at the port of entry. Confirm well before you advice people to try this please.

chrysto:
Naija will give you exit stamp, while Cotonou will give you entry . So you need both stamps . But if you are following street way, the bike men will take you through a route where those are not necessary.

Yesterday I decided to visit ABC transport at Mile2 to make inquiry about their Cotonou/Ghana route but I was told that they don’t ply the route for now. I went to mile2 ( close to the pedestrian bridge) I met some cars leaving to Cotonou,Lome and Ghana. They said Cotonou is 15k if I am going straight and Seme border is 4K and then I can take another car from Seme. My passport was going to be stamped at the ECOWAS office and Cotonou immigration. It was a good deal but I changed my mind about the whole trip when I saw the condition of the cars and knowing I’ll be going with 2 kids ages 6&3. My Cotonou mission is aborted for now. Infact I have decided to take a break from making any tra vel plan as I’ll be started exams next week. My exam will end on the 15th.. if nothing happens by then I can consider any other route. But a place I’ll definitely go by air not by road .

My sister is trying to enter Canada via Mexico her flight is on Sunday. She'll stay 2 weeks and enter Canada afterwards by God's grace. I mentioned this so Y'all can try other countries aside from cotonu and Ghana. May God help us all.

Erudensi:
Pls can someone confirm if this is true. A friend just sent it to me this evening.

debbzJay:
Hi everyone, I recently came into Canada on a student visa and would like to apply for my family to join me.
Based on the current trend, applying for a visitors permit seems faster than applying for a sowp. Please what's the expected proof of funds to apply for visitors visa for my husband and 2 kids and can I also apply through the new link?

Aissy:
I just checked my gcm notes from my first application that was rejected. It was still created by the same AH03849

Marvelous001:
My husband is my sponsor. I submitted all necessary documents regarding his finances. Cac, landed property, avidafit of financial support, letter of introduction from his company and secretary, detailed loe about his finance. Etc. God will help all of us.

Obanidavid:
I applied earlier with a budget of 10,000cad but raised it to 25,000cad

Obanidavid:
i just raised my financial base to the reference required for a family of 4

sam4774:
hmm thats weird i used getgcms on the 24th of August and got my gcms note on the 24th of September ooo.

mrbrodaman:
Hey house, I apologize if this has been asked here before but is there an age limit for studying in Canada? can someone over 30 apply for a bachelors program in Canada or would the visa officers decline the application?

Akannitommy:
Hello,

Please does anyone have an idea what happens if someone deferred admission (due to visa delay) just before they now got visa approval and didn't inform IRCC whether they will have issues upon landing or not? To clarify, this person got admission for Fall 2021 but deffer to Winter 2022 because of delay in the visa processing. But a few weeks/months later, they got the approval and issued visa. If they try to fly/land in Canada in December/January, are there any risks to this?

I have my own theory and have explained but just wanted to hear other views so we can be sure what their options are.

Thanks.

Akannitommy:
Following yesterday's update, we received medical request at 5:00am (Canadian time) this morning for our son who applied for visitor visa, along with the family (SOWP for wife and Study permit for older siblings). Any tips/plugs/slots on how to achieve this quickly? NB: his visa type was due to his age (under 2 years) while the others passed their own medicals same week as the application was submitted back in May.

KellyKk:
correspondence and PPR are always issued same day from my past experience and the approvals I have saw on this trend in past ! The moments correspondence is issued without ppr then it’s 20% chance of getting approve my thought though .

STRICK00:
GUYS PLEASE HELP

Iphiegrace:
Coincidentally @EmeeNaka and I got correspondence this Friday and refusal on Sunday, we both submitted on the 30th of April, with same refusal reasons, obviously same visa officer.

Now tell me why I should not be mad, you put everyone in a box and issue same refusal reason, I feel cheated, robbed and unjustly treated honestly.

This is more painful than I thought, actually woke up again to cry it’s 2:20am.

Any suggestion on how to tackle this will really help...

einsteino:
Hello Guys, it has been a while. Anyways, just to let landed Engineers know, there is a Nigerian Engineers in Canada whatsapp group. If you would like to be among peers, you may shoot me a pm.

CountVersailles:
No, it's not too early to travel. As long as he has his visa and a place to stay when he arrives Canada, nobody can tell him not to travel.

Jetline:
Yeah, very painful I am leaving the place, but I have no option. I can't rent different rooms for myself and my spouse.

Lekiboboe:
Thanks Prof. Akanni

Your Midas Response on Graduate School in Canada is always succinct & loaded. Hopefully soon, we would start Cold Mailing Akannitommy's Research Lab for Graduate Opportunities

NwanyiOkpa:
People of God.

Please, what is the best and same time affordable flight company to use? I intend landing in Montreal from Nigeria.

patty10:
Thank you for your response. I have heard people say if one do not receive PPR along with the BVL the same day or 24hrs apart them its a bad news. Also am i the only one that do not provide MYBANK STATEMENT for the NSE? ( They did not request for it, just IELTS)

jogojogo:
Please Please Please how do I book the flight? Previously it was to Toronto then after 3days quarantine to Manitoba Winnipeg, now that I am vaccinated do I need to go to Toronto or book a flight directly to Manitoba Winnipeg?

JustMellow:
Hello Skull4eva,

This is not a bad idea.

More wins!

Bellgirl1:
After 7 months of waiting and BVL since February. My application was refused based on personal assets. Crazy .... 7 months of no plan n direction.
