Blavkmaann:
So a little back story, I got admitted into Concordia University, Montreal January 2020, Applied for visa JULY 2020, Got approved Sept 2020… I didn’t want to do online so I deferred, … while deferring, I sent IRCC my deferal notice and new admission letter, my program is a 1 year post graduate diploma in journalism! …….. I was given 2 years visa!

Sha sha sha, those Wey Dey follow my story know say den bounce me for airport twice… saying it’s too early…. I dinor know they were helping me o, until I reach… on the 10th of August 2021.. that was the last day I saw NIGERIA….. TURKISH AIRLINE FLEW ME TO ISTANBUL…. It was a dream come thru… as the plane departed Lagos, I posted the normal “Nigeria your evil is enough on my WhatsApp” …. Omo the calls and messages and prayers I got… Omo, I shed tears… it was overwhelming… Omo e no reach 2 hours then share food better jollof rice, plantain, meat, salad… Omo it was great….. after about 6 hous we landed in Istanbul… the flight was Ok sha, I only rated the yeye male host in our side 1 star, na goat him be… he wan use face mask suffocate me… before I forget, I’m Nigerian airport, I pay money tire, so carry enough cash….. ONE GOAT WILL MEET YOU FOR YELLOW CARD 6k, slap am for me, coz I fell for that scam, FULL WARRI BOY LIKE ME….

Sha sha sha, we got to Istanbul… come and see lay over, 8 hours, I slept and woke up on one chair, I went to Subwa to get snacks, coke and pringles, I paid 8$, na 4k5 comot my naira acct… I wan crase…. Omo I started to respect myself o…

I didn’t want to miss my flight so as soon as I saw the boarding gate, I started to go there, I’ve never felt so alone in my life… in Nigeria everybody was around, talking, greeting , gisting, here it was me versus the world… I started to cry o, serious cry, I na sat down on one floor beside one glass, I didn’t know, but I was crying so much… you know all those cry Wey you go come dey get hick ups, immediately 4 Turkish immigration people walked up to me and asked for my passport, I gave them, they said I’m I been trafficked, I say what? They asked if I’m under any pressure to do what I don’t want to do, i SAID NO, they then asked why I’m crying,

Let me answer the way I answer them

Immigration- why are you crying?
Yeye me- I MISS MY DADDY AND MUMMY

SEE LAUGH…. I’ve never felt humiliated in my life, big man like me with full beards crying for mummy and daddy… chai

They laughed, handed me my passport and told me I’ll be fine, they then directed me to the correct gate, apparently the were already boarding…

As I got to Istanbul immigration… QUESTION STARTED

The money was transferred to my account by my husband who in turn submitted his business registration documents, pay slips, receipts from sale that generated the money and then his own employment letter. He also did an affidavit breaking down all his yearly income and expenses. In addition to this, I submitted my pay slip and work documents.

AKANLE2:
How did u explained that. And what are the docs u tendered to convince the VO?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 19 by Stephblues(f): 10:19am On Aug 17, 2021
For mine, the 30k came into my account a few days to my application. I was able to explain the source and it worked for me.

aahammed:
Hello Nairalanders. Pls in regards the NSE POF. Must the 30k CAD have stayed in the account for more than 6 months? Or can a 1 month stay also work?

19CannyMum:
This thread was my only source of info. Eligibility and background check started within 2 days after applying. NSE requirements provided at submission with good ielts (highest band) and 1 year MBS. Self sponsored. Upfront medicals. Sibling in Canada (PR). Travel history to Europe and US.

Document list
Letter of acceptance (1 year post diploma certificate, but career progression was very clear)
Passport
Proof of means of financial support:
Conversion table
Official fee schedule
My Bank statement certificate 1 (joint account)
My Bank statement certificate 2 (Dom account)
My Bank Statement certificate 3 (personal savings)
Spouse consent letter
Pension
Digital photo
Medical exam slip
Client information (I merged everything below into one file):
Statement of Purpose (I addressed career path and ties)
Newspaper and marriage cert
Police Clearance Certificate
Letter of intent (the one presented to the school to gain admission)
CV (showing career progression)
WAEC
B.SC
NYSC
IELTS
Current contract
Past contracts
Contact currently being negotiated

Payslips (last three months)
Birth certificate

Spouse's employment letter
2 C of O and one deed

My employment letter stated that I was going on vacation lol and my current contract ends before December. Those were the main weaknesses of my application and I tried to address them in my SOP.

Total money in all bank accounts far exceeded $30k and there was serious inflow and outflow... Like up to 15m can leave today, 5m come in tomorrow etc. This was another weakness.

However grace covered the weaknesses.

Thanks to everyone who shares their experiences here. Especially to those who are brave enough to share their delays. Delay is never denial, pick up and refire please.

I ordered GCMS notes yesterday (21st business day after medicals passed), I will share it here once received.

School resumes in September and I had already registered to resume online. No tuition payment has been made. Crossing over to SOWP thread now.

Thank you for all the congrats and good wishes. It will go round and you will be celebrated too.

PPR dropped this morning at 6a.m
I have applied for tourist visas two times before. The first one was approved, I visited once and came back to Nigeria.
The second one which I submitted since last year April is still pending till now.

I applied for study permit 12th of April, 2021.
Ghost update once.
No update whatsoever. Eligibility requirement has still not started till now.
School resumes September 7 and I was scared I wont meet up, but all glory to God, I am sharing my good news that my PPR dropped this morning.
I am 23 years old and going for Alternative Dispute Resolution in Humber College

It has been a rollercoaster but I thank God for his intervention.

I would be willing to assist anyone who needs help with any questions. My email is always open.

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 19 by Stephblues(f): 12:20am On Aug 12, 2021
I paid the required deposit which was 4K.

RoyalDukeDon:
Did you pay any upfront fees ??
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 19 by Stephblues(f): 3:15pm On Aug 11, 2021
This is a baseless refusal. You have to fight it. Please don’t give up, your testimony is on the way. Sorry again.

RollyA:
Personal Assets & Financial Status

My first preassessment notes were vague, in fact i still don't understand it till today as attached.

I did a lot of things differently despite that in this second application:

I paid 28k out of 33k of my tuition through my mum, she gave me 7m which i immediately used to pay 20k cad (in my first application i paid only 7k)
I showed 10.3m in bank account (MBS) (my sponsor gave me 6m since last year Nov and still standing in my account, balance of 4m was my savings) (funds were still intact)
i attached gift deeds for both my uncle and the new funds my mum gave me
My uncle showed over 18m in his bank plus introduction letter showing his net worth
My mum attached a retirement letter and stated that she had funds from her 32 years of working, she also had a balance of 4m left to show she will be fine
I included study leave and evidence I got a promotion last year and commendation for stepping in an acting position as MD.
My husbands business docs, showed also 2.3m in his account, he had 2m as fixed deposit (same with first application)
I attached his land docs and added the survey in the second application
i bought shares almost 500K to establish assets (new)

I have ordered for my first and second notes, maybe I should have ordered final notes from my first application because i used preassessment notes while my application was still in progress to apply.

I am numb, I am sad, I feel like all my efforts were in vain.

I had ordered my notes last month to see what was happening and they are only due tomorrow, i guess they dished out the refusal today so i wouldnt have time to ammend.
