Edrick:Hi Edrick, Yes, a gift deed is an acceptable proof of funds. However, the person gifting you the money must also provide evidence of the SOF and demonstrate their financial capability to make such a gift. So, it's not just about the gift, it also involves where the gift is coming from and from whom. Wishing you good luck with your application, My Friend. 2 Likes |

Popson09:Hi Popson09, Registering your business shortly before submitting your application might be perceived as an effort to enhance a successful study permit application. Nonetheless, it is still a necessary step as a business owner. I recommend submitting transaction receipts, invoices, association IDs, and other documents that demonstrate your business operations predating the issuance of your CAC. This will help establish a credible record of past months/years of business activities. Wishing you good luck with your application. 2 Likes |

Yeezy24: Not necessarily the same timeline. In fact, even for some regular VV hopefuls, their applications received decisions within 4 weeks, and they're not on CAN+. So, no one can ascertain the duration, but your family will most likely receive a faster outcome than 6 months. As I said earlier, if you're short on time, your best bet would be emailing IRCC or raising a webform to expedite your application, as it's disrupting your schedule. In the end, it's going to be a spectacular extravaganza. |

Yeezy24: There's no cause for alarm, Yeezy24. Your case is common for family members' applications evaluated independently based on their merits and processing timelines. Please be patient; their decisions will be out soon. However, if you're running out of time, a reminder email to IRCC wouldn't hurt. Congratulations on your approval, and I wish your family good luck with their applications! |

Flakky26: Hi Flakky26, 1. Professionally, I wouldn't advise them to present expired passports at IOM, as the documents are now invalid. 2. Yes, the processing time includes weekends. 3. Weighing their circumstances, I would recommend they email IRCC for an extension, explaining their passport situation, and then proceed to IOM to do the same. This will reveal their available options. (IOM will likely conduct the examination for them.) 4. PCC requirements vary by individual circumstances, but it is mostly optional for TRVs. Therefore, it is not mandatory if they have no criminal records and haven't lived outside Nigeria for more than six months in the past ten years. 5. After their medical examination is received by IRCC, it can take some days to a few weeks before they receive their final decision. Wishing the grandparents good luck with their applications. |

fadebayo19: Hi Fadebayo19, 1. Please note that Naira card holders are currently exempt from international transactions. Therefore, you may need to use a dollar-denominated card to pay for your visa fee. 2. When submitting your SP application, you'll be required to pay a total of $235 CAD, comprising a $150 CAD study permit fee and an $85 CAD biometric fee (if you don't have a valid one). Note that these two fees are the only charges you'll incur until your application is received. Wishing you good luck with your application. |

Jackto365:Hi Jackto365, My sincere sympathy. I also commend you for ordering your GCMS note, but while we are waiting for it, do you mind sharing a snippet of your decision letter? Let's know the grounds for your refusal to better assist you. Regarding your major question, the police character certificate is not mandatory. It might corroborate your amiability and compliance with the law, but it's not obligatory. Wishing you good luck as you give your application another try. |

creolehunt:Hi Creolehunt, In your case, the board resolution letter is optional. I would recommend the following documents: 1. CAC certificate 2. CAC Status Report form (the file that shows the board of directors and shareholders). 3. Bank reference letter confirming you both as the only signatories to your corporate bank account. Better still, just transfer the fund to your personal account and attach your corporate account and personal account statements to the application. However, exploring this option might bid you to explain the lumpsum in your SOP or LOE. Wishing you good luck with your application. 3 Likes |

creolehunt:Hi Creolehunt, The necessity of a board resolution letter is contingent on the category of your business registration. If it's a sole proprietorship, for example, you might not need a board resolution letter. The CAC Status Report form and business certificate, accompanied with a bank reference letter confirming you as a sole signatory to your corporate account, would be just fine. Contrarily, if you operate a private limited company, for instance, you might have directors and shareholders that need to be carried along in every decision. Thus, you will most likely need a board resolution letter to convey their consents and collective decisions to sponsor you to the VO. Please let me know if you have any other questions. 1 Like |

Crystalgirl:Hi Crystalgirl, Reference letter is not a mandatory requirement for a study permit application. In most cases, it is often demanded by universities for postgraduate admission assessments. However, I believe you passed that stage and have your LOA already, so you might not need a reference letter for IRCC to process your study permit. Wishing you good luck with your submission. 1 Like 1 Share |

Nomsooooo:Hi Nomsooooo, Your gut feeling isn't entirely on the wrong side of right. A deliberate decision to spend thousands of dollars to earn a degree that's somewhat equal and identical to the one you currently possess isn't particularly logical. Why not just pursue a master's degree in a related field? Wishing you the best of luck. 4 Likes |

OTSAMUEL: Hi OTSAMUEL, Your friend's situation is common when a unique client identifier (UCI) is not submitted in a subsequent application, especially when the application is transmitted from a new or different account. You don't need to panic. Once his background check starts running or before it's completed, IRCC will correct the errors and link his existing biometric to the new application. Wishing him good luck. |

olusola2bello:Hi Olusola2bello, Yes, shares or stocks can be presented as POF. However, in your case, you might need a board resolution letter attesting to your sponsorship and a written statement from your office's broker emphasizing the rights to liquidate the stock without any restrictions. Meanwhile, don't you think a third-party sponsorship for a family of 4 with a financial portfolio of less than 200,000 USD seems unbelievable? Doesn't that cover a significant portion of the company's liquid assets? Or, do you own the business? Good luck with your application. |

onyekachee:Hi Onyekachee, Sponsorships from parents are not classified as third party financing. Your parents can choose to support you if they can demonstrate their resourcefulness to do so. However, you can declare yourself as co-sponsor, depending on your financial luxuriance. In a nutshell, if your parent is your only ace in the hole, please go ahead and click on that Submit button. The VO cannot deny your application primarily on that. Have a wonderful day! 8 Likes |
