Some agents can be so wicked... I now understand why you're having sleepless nights.

I just hope that God will see you through.

But is there really nothing you can do about the 10 year ban from UK? Have you spoken to an immigration lawyer about it?

jaydave:
The UK ban could have played out here too… us -cana-aussie-uk-nz….. I think they share travel info within themselves ….
Plus when filling ur study permit form there is a place mentioned if u hv been denied visa or ban from a country before … guess u answered yes ? And also gave details ? …

Damn... you're not sleeping because of this? Calm down bro...

No one can predict anything. Some people have said that some applications still get approved but some applications get rejected.

Just prepare yourself for all the possibilities. Decide what you will do if your application should get approved and what you will do if your application should get rejected. That may calm you down.

Attached below are the letter sent to me.

SoftdudeKay:
Please, is it still possible for visa application to be approved after receiving a “Procedural Fairness” letter?

Has anyone on here gotten a “Procedural Fairness” letter and his/her application was still approved?

Though I have responded to it accordingly but I’m really concerned.

Please advise!

Double celebration for me today. I am a year older today, and my eagle has also landed (PPR). For those still awaiting the good news, keep the faith alive. You are next in line. Premium Thanks to Oga Makano, he handled my application from start to end. I am coming back with my details timeline.

Get a pre paid dollar card from GTB. It is instant but ensure you have $50 ready to pay in. Tho the limit on the card is $5000 / quarter.

@Softdusdekay

To buttress the above point, you can beg the guy who made the payment to send you the screenshot of the payment that has his name. Let them know your friend made the payment not you. That you are sorry you dient know the payment was reversed to his account.

Write softly, make another payment, attach it to your LOE and back it up with prayer.

In the case of representative, you can explain that you had already submitted before you contacted a rep. Juat apologise that you didnt know you were meant to notify them since you had submitted yourself already

Na wa for all these small small issues oooo

Hello Msbaileyz,

In addition:

I second. I have raised this awareness here before now. I can count four people that had the same issue but only one was banned. If I stumble across the GCMS note by chance, I will share it here.

Declaring the use of a paid representative without submitting the IMM 5474e form is now considered a misrepresentation if noticed by chance, which always occurs after a fee payment reversal to IRCC.

Few might have been lucky to escape a ban but some others couldn't. If anybody is in the same mess, say the complete truth without mentioning the use of a paid representative. Only do so, if it was declared from the onset and the IMM form was provided.


One love!

Hello Socially4fun,

You can always request an extension from your DLI, with a cogent reason(s) and substantiated proof.


Success is all I Wish You!

It looks like the guy intentionally reversed the payment and he intentionally wanted to scam IRCC.

I think you should just apologise profusely, say that you weren't aware of the reversal, and attach proof of the new payment. You could also attach proof of the payment for your student visa application and ask them to let you know if there was a reversal for that as well (even though you know that there wasn't).

You may also want to get in touch with someone who has dealt with an issue like this before. Maybe try contacting an immigration lawyer. You can also try posting your question on reddit.com/r/ImmigrationCanada and canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board to get different advice, then decide for yourself.

Do not say that you used an agent, I repeat, Do not say that you used an agent I am saying this from experience
Although I didn’t get a 5 year ban based on my refusal letter, but it contributed to my last PR refusal and that’s part of what I have to defend now in a new application.

NEVER EVER BRING UP NEW ISSUES FOR AN OFFICER TO DIG THROUGH …..my 2 cents

SoftdudeKay You sent me an email right? Please post your questions here and I will reply.

SoftdudeKay:



Good afternoon guys. Please I need urgent assistance and advice. I applied for tourist visa in March 2020 (before the lockdown) through an agent here in Nigeria, and there was no update on the application. So, I applied for study visa in July this year by myself. I have been waiting to get response from the IRCC and I just got a response today, saying there was a request from me (that’s my agent) to my bank that the application fee (my previous application) should be refunded. Now I have to provide valid point in 15 days as to why I requested for the refund and I need to pay the $185CAD. The payment isn’t the problem, but I contacted the agent and obviously, he knows about it but claimed he didn’t make the payment from his card, that someone else made the payment for him, and he’s not been able to reach the person.

NOTE: the agent didn’t use the “Use of Representative Form”.

Please, what do I do now?

Kindly advise me accordingly.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!

bepositive11:
I know some people have advised you to admit that you used an agent. Just double check whether you'll get into trouble if you should do that. Because I think you risk getting a 5 year ban for misrepresentation.

Alternatively, maybe say that you used a friend's card to make the payment and that you weren't aware of any issues - that you were shocked to receive this notice from them and you've lost touch with the friend so you can't get to the bottom of what went wrong. Then proceed to apologise and attach proof of the new payment.

SupremeGod:
I have a similar case. Please I need your advice on how you are able to resolve it. I sent you a DM.

Benquip:


I suggest you speak the truth and tell IRCC you used the service of an agent and trusted him with your application not knowing he was dubious and you're ready to make the payment again.

Stop Patronizing agents..

makano:
The last time I checked, it between 30k - 40k (updated price).

It used to be 5k few months back.. But Police Certificate is never a compulsory document as many applicants have gotten Visa without submitting it.. But if you are a fresh study permit visa applicant, you can do it if you wish)..

Peace

technix:


Hi SoftdudeKay,

Sorry to hear about this. I hope that the agent submitted a 'Use of Representative Form' in your application.

Do mention what you know about the requested information, from agent to the person he used, etc. (you can attach a proof of your conversations with the agent, if available). However, don't directly put the onus on the agent/payer.

Try buttress the fact that you can afford the payment and you have the fund to sponsor your stay in Canada. Attach bank statements, reference letter from your bank, and even a letter from your employer (if possible) attesting your to your integrity.

Make the requested payment (through a trusted person) and attach the receipt.

Please wer did u do d medical,how much and how was it

johnstan:


This is the application info at the top of your application profile page, it is generic and doesn't change.

Your focus should be on the actual processing stages downwards. They will let you know when your biometrics is updated, when your medicals is processed and updated, if any other document is needed from you, when your eligibility review starts etc. These stages are updated with time stamps letting you know the date they were updated.

You can't tell the exact stage your app is at any moment, you just have to trust their process.
