What was your experience when you landed. What questions were you asked. What should people coming in take note of

It was a smooth one though, no big deal, just have your documents handy with your bank statements of maybe 2 months. I wasn’t asked any serious question though. I was asked if I’ve paid my tuition fee and that I should show my receipt and my letter of acceptance. I was then asked of my course of study. That’s all I was asked. But I would advise people to go with their printed bank statements or if you have the money available in your account, then you can show them when you’re asked how you intend to pay your subsequent fees.

Congratulations Softdudekay.

I can see you did not even inform the house that you received your PPR and subsequently post your timeline, and you were always asking questions and getting answers.

Please when timelines are posted it helps others to know how prepare their applications and gives hope to others who have submitted and waiting for decisions.

Please please post your timeline and documents submitted.

My bad. I was actually carried away with some activities that took most of my time off this platform. Thanks for calling my attention to it, I promise to do the needful sooner than later. Thanks once again!

Good morning house. Please is there any WhatsApp group chat for Cambrian College students? Or students in Brampton or students in North York?

Kindly add me to any of these group chats please. 07036412417.

Thanks in anticipation!

Please house, what does it mean when IRCC requests for an “updated Letter of Acceptance for the next available semester from the intended Designated Learning Institution or proof of current enrollment. If deferred, provide evidence including new start and end date.” ?

Please, has anyone received this before? And what was the outcome?

Thanks in anticipation.

Good day guys. A friend of mine applied for Canada visa while in Nigeria and now IRCC asked him to submit his passport but he’s currently out of the country. Can he submit it at where he is or would he have to DHL it to Nigeria? And how long does it take them to stamp passports these days?

Thanks in anticipation.

Good morning house. I ordered for my CBSA notes on the 18th of November and it came yesterday, though there is no decision made on my application yet but I can see the visa officer’s concern already. And I can also see that my marital status has not been effected on the file as I was single as at the time of making the application, which I sent web forms to inform them of the change in my status.

Please house, can I still send them emails and web forms regarding the visa officer’s concern before a final decision is made?

I don't think you should withdraw your application now. I applied on March 9th and got my PPR on October 20th. DejiiiiB, keep believing! Some few tips to stimulating a decision on your application (given that it has been long you applied):

1. Send emails to Abuja, Lagos, Nairobi, London, and Beijing offices. Sometimes, these offices push your email to Nairobi...Note, these offices would tell you that your files are in Nairobi but some may still send a reminder to Nairobi from their end. it happened to me when Nairobi replied to a mail I had sent to Beijing. Also, Abuja gave me a special link to a new webform site that has quick response and also gave a short and direct reply to one of my mails. They said "Nairobi would reach out to you once they've finalize your application". I got my PPR in 40days time. This may add weight to reminding Nairobi office.

2. You could use the subject of your mail as [URGENT] Request for Update on my Study Permit Application

or use

[URGENT] Request for Expediting the Processing of my Study Permit Application. If this, then request for urgent processing of your application because it is more than 8months and you don't have online options after January 2023.

3. In your mail, state that you do not have online options from January. Bolden this sentence in your mail, also bolden that it has been 8 months since you submitted your application. This makes their eyes go to the main points of your mail quickly.

4. Add that the delay is disrupting your academic and career plans. Be a little emotional e.g. state that it is affecting you mentally.

5. Schedule your mail to be sent 8am in the local time of the office. E.g. Nairobi is 2hrs ahead of us. So, schedule your mail to be sent 6am WAT. This could make it among the first mail that pops up as they resume work. Plus the [URGENT] in your mail subject could trigger them to read it. Only use [URGENT] keyword in the mail subject if it is really urgent, else it could be seen as false alarm and may not be good for you (I saw this in their website). Well, your case can be considered to be urgent.

6. Apply for GCMS notes. If you have, what does the Assessment section says? If you have and it hasn't been delivered for more than 45days, start sending the GCMS agent mails once every week. They would send IRCC reminder mail...I did this.

7. We can only do much, if you are a Christian, I recommend you fast and pray.

All the best, These tips are not absolute but I am confident you will receive a decision soon.

Bro please, can you help post the emails on here for our easy access. I know it’s been posted once but I couldn’t navigate to the page. Sorry for the stress and thanks in anticipation.

Ladyj143:

7COLOURS:

Okay. I have a dom account, I’ll use my card. Thanks bro.

Bobomaigida:


You can't use any naira denominated card, look for a dollar card to pay.

Okay. I have a dom account, I’ll use my card. Thanks bro.

Please house, I’m trying to make payments for my CBSA notes on gcmsnotes.com using my GTB naira card but it’s not going through. What could be the reason please? Or does it have to be paid with a Dollar card?

Thanks for your swift response.

jaydave:
We are talking about CAD nau not usd

.

Hello house, please I requested for my GCMS notes since September but it hasn’t come yet, and I learnt that one can request for CBSA notes instead of GCMS notes as it is faster. Please, can I also request for my CBSA notes as my GCMS notes is yet to come? How much does it cost? And how do I request for it? Or can I submit another request for my GCMS notes?

Any available information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

jaydave:
They don’t have access to your current bal now ur acct .. they can only confirm from the bank if the acct and d bal showing on d statement is legit … but if u submitted MBS kind of statement dey wud login to d mbs portal to see what u submitted and that’s all

Okay thanks bro

kweje:

Dear Oluwjuwonlo,
Sorry about the refusal. It is pertinent that you request CBSA/ GCMS notes to know exactly the VO concern despite the volume of funds you showed (we learn CBSA notes are faster, GCMS notes are taking months to be released recently).

Also check if your had
unexplained lumpsum in the accounts submitted?
Was sources of income adequately explained and documented?
Why do you need a sponsor when you have such amount? The VO may be wondering if the money is just for show.
Did you explain the funds in your account?
Are you employed? Or it was a gift deed for studies?

Even if you are going for a 4yr course, most people dont have all the funds when they apply, they explain how the source of funds is stable enough to sustain the studies.

Since you mentioned you didn’t pay any tuition( probably because the school didn't require it, did you mention this in your SOP? ( Before you re apply, pay some tuition( can be from any account, yours or sponsor) and mention its to show commitment even though the school didn't request.

All the best.

Please, does this mean the VOs have access to the current available balance in one’s account to make their decision? How about if one has a very good account statement and records including tuition fee been paid (and good explanation in the SOP), and then removed the funds before the final decision? What could happen in this case? Could the application still be rejected due to funds not readily available? Do they have access to the current account balance as at when making decisions?

johnstan:


Making partial / full payment and still having good account balance also helps to demonstrate good POF. Go ahead with your payments, and refire.

Ensure the funds are not in a fixed account to avoid the *not readily available response*

Good luck.

Queenfunlola:



@softdudeKay please let’s know the outcome of this. Let’s know if they book it for you

Yes! I sent them an email on a Saturday to inform them that I couldn’t book online and that I’d like to have my medical on Tuesday, but they replied on the following Monday and booked me for Wednesday, so I made the payment into their account and I did it on that very Wednesday.

larryrichie:
Thanks so much for the information i really appreciate

You’re welcome sir.

larryrichie:
Please house, i need a way to get medical booking this November and i have checked iom and qlife no date available for this month again, is there a way i get a date this month or can i go to them and see if i can get help.

Thou it upfront medical but i need a close date because my application is 3 month already..

Any one with an ideal of what i can do

Send them an email and tell them your preferred date, but give them like 2 days ahead. They’ll definitely book it for you. You can have it done by next week Wednesday or Thursday if you send them an email today.

Email for Abuja centre: iomabujamedicalbooki@iom.int

I don’t have the email for Lagos centre.

Good luck!

1stGenAmerican:


Yes. The US and Canada share information and have access to each other’s databases. If you neglect to tell them, it can cause you to get a denial from the US which can then trigger a denial from Canada.

So does that mean I can’t go for the US F1 interview yet until Canada finalizes my study application right?

Please house, I have Canada study visa application that I’m still waiting for the response from them. Please, will USA ask me about it at my interview? Will they know about it?

Thanks in anticipation of your swift responses.

Kelgabriel5:

well just cancel ur appointment and book a fresh one but u can only cancel appointments twice

If I cancel and book a fresh appointment, will I be able to change my interview centre to Lagos? Or how can I switch to Lagos? Because, nobody knows when the Abuja embassy will reopen and my school starts in January.

Phemi93:
My current appointment is for May 2023 and it wasn't cancelled so I can't really say how it look like for cancelled appointments.

Thanks bros, I have gotten it right. I was logging in with a wrong email. But is it possible to change location to Lagos centre?

Please can one change appointment location from Abuja centre to Lagos centre?

Phemi93:
Mine is normal too but I don't really know if applying for EA is a good idea now so as not to waste the EA slot in case they deny it because of this recent news considering they've even been cancelling people's appointments.

And please, how does it show on the dashboard if the appointment is canceled? This is what my dashboard look like.
