Good evening good people and fellow Nigerians. Please I need clarification on this, "My visa application was refused in December 2016. I want to reapply again" Do I need to do another biometric
I did biometrics in November 2015 in my first application which was refused and then I reapplied in October 2018, I told the guy that I had done biometrics in 2015 in my first application and then he said I didn't need to pay for another biometrics that the one I did is valid for 10 years.

The answer to your question is a big NO. You don't need to have another biometrics.

I actually wrote this for others to gain from it.

Purpose of visit and got gcms note. There was nothing in it
I had similar experience. Got refused early last month, ordered for GCMS note and found absolutely nothing as regarding the VO's comment.

I think this is a new trend with the Nairobi guys

Thank you.

Yes, I'm applying for an undergraduate degree.

Do secondary Schools give academic transcript? I have never heard of it before. I thought it's only tertiary institutions that provide transcripts.
I'm guessing that will be hard to get o

Is there any alternative
Yes, secondary schools give academic transcripts (if you attended a good one) but if it's some public secondary school that aren't well funded, it may be difficult but you can still get it provided they have your files with them
As for the alternative, I really don't know of any at the moment

Please, guys, I need help.

[/b]Which one is a secondary school transcript? Is it the same WAEC/NECO result.[b]

I applied to Dalhousie University and they asked for 2 academic transcripts.

PHST Partial High School Transcript and
Final High School Transcript.

Who have applied to this school before, please
I haven't applied to Dalhousie before but I'm guessing you intend to study for an undergraduate degree.

To the bolded, secondary school transcript is a collation of all academic scores, grades and subjects offered throughout secondary school

Sorry I Don come with my questions again. But where do documents for proof of relationship to sponsor come under? Should they all be scanned with the statement of account of the sponsor?
if the sponsor is your parent, then all of these (proof of relationships)should be scanned in the client information section in a chronological order

If it's third party, then the sponsor's documents should be scanned in the proof of funds section.

I hope this helps

OK I get your point, from all the applicants statement don't u think it might be a new trend. My application was barely 3 weeks, one other guy here was about 10 days and at least over 20 applicant that we know got the letter same time. Well let keep watching as events unfold.
let me bust your bubbles. If you read through part 15, you would understand that the same thing happened where April applicants received Biometrics Validation Letter almost at the same period.
There was a moniker that even said almost all of them that submitted paper application on the same day got BVL and refusal letter the following day except for him.

Some even received BVL after 2 weeks of their application and got refused eventually. While some received BVL and got refused after 6 weeks.

As Frankrobbn1 as explained earlier, the moment one receives BVL, it means that such application has been finalised.

But what do I know, as I am not a VO, miracle could still happen even after receiving BVL and one gets a medical request and PPR

Hello!

I'm quite new here and I have something really disturbing me about Canadian travels...

Here is the thing

I am a graduate. I studied Medical Laboratory Science as an undergraduate program here in Nigeria. I am currently working with an agency here in Nigeria and they got two admission offers for me
1. A Diploma program in Environmental Technician Field and Lab (2 years program)
2. Post Graduate Health Analytics (1year program)

On the course of asking questions to people around me, I decided to go for the 2years Diploma program. I already paid for the tuition

But in the course discussion with one of my friends , he said that since I have done an undergraduate program here in Nigeria that I would have gone for the PGD (1yr) why go for the Diploma 2yr.... I told him that it was because of the yrs inviolved.

So now I have contacted the agency to know how they can write the school to revoke my admission offer for the masters program and then write to the school that gave me the diploma course to know if they could give me a Graduate Diploma Course to replace the undergraduate diploma that I have already paid for. They also applied to another school for a PGD program as well.

Right now I'm waiting for 3 offer letters.

Please I need an advice....

Should I continue with the undergraduate Diploma course ?
If Yes what else can I do to increase my chances of getting my visa approved ?
Or should I wait to choose the school for PGD when the offer comes out huh

Please I need answers because I only have limited time to make decisions.
I will advise you go for the second course due to the following reasons:
It is a logical study progression from your undergraduate studies.

It increases your chance of getting your visa application approved.

It makes it easy to write a convincing SOP for your visa application.

My opinion though

Stay strong �
If I were you, I'd order for GCMS note already so as to prepare for reapplication. But what do I know as I'm not a guru here
Aisha77:
thanks for being honest and leave the positive part. It couldn't have been a mistake to forget medical update. Smh for this people sha. I had everything I could think of.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by tajmal: 5:05pm On Jun 17, 2019
From previous observations and analysis, it's not a good sign if the upfront medical was not updated to pass before the BMC mail.
However, your case may be different, so stay positive as you patiently wait
Aisha77:
Hello, been a silent reader and just had a concern to comment.

I applied for study visa with upfront medicals on the 20th of may and just got biometrics correspondence mail. Medicals is not updated.

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by tajmal: 12:32pm On Jun 15, 2019
Was the amount in the SOA above 10m? If no, that may be the reason for the refusal.
They applicant does not need to have assets or financial documents since she's not matured
Josade69:
Good morning guys, please how do I counter this type of reason for refusal in a subsequent applocation;

"I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status."

The applicant is young, so she did not submit any properties and got a scholarship to cover her tution. Kindly help me @frankrobbn1 and other gurus. Thanks for your help.

This CIC people are ruthless! Why take so long to respond when they've already finalized an application since BMC mail was received?
I believe you're strong and you will never give up on your dream to study in Canada.
I understand you have ordered for GCMS, perhaps it will shed more light to their refusal reasons

Dear ...
Thank you for your interest in visiting Canada. After careful review of your temporary resident visa application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application on the following grounds: • I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit. You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be accompanied by a new processing fee.
Sincerely,

Hi
You are only required to pay tuition if the school ask you to do so. But before you do, get yourself acquainted with their refund policy in case of visa refusal so as to avoid story that touches

Hi everyone

My application is 8 weeks old and my resumption date was May. I received BMC mail 4 weeks ago without doing upfront medical and up till this moment no msg from CIC. I just got a new admission letter from my intended school for Winter 2020.

Is it appropriate to send the new admission letter to CIC? If yes, how would I go about sending it?

Or Should I wait till after the 9th week and order for GCMS to understand the delay?

Scholars in the house, please kindly help with my plight

Your timeline is similar to mine only that mine is a re-application. It's been three weeks since the BMC mail was received. Most people got a refusal the same day or few days after the BMC mail. The delay in response is what I just can't comprehend. If your intended DLI has already resumed, then I'd advise that you defer to a new resumption date while you await their response

Up till now I have not heard from them, abeg any hope that I will receive medical request after this correspondence biometric letter , because I wanted to even withdraw my application or if they send medical request and I don’t go for the medicals, will they deny me?

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 15 by tajmal: 2:44pm On May 20, 2019
It's actually a sign that your application has been finalized and that a decision has been made about your application. In most cases, it's a refusal letter that comes after biometrics correspondence validity if one has not been asked to go for medical

Hello agroNACT,

The new development in securing more funding is a welcoming improvement especially towards your financial status to acquire a much focused attention to actually study without thinking to work or panicking to see through your Canadian studies.

The area of your financial status "towards your Canadian/International studies" has been settled amicably but what you now have to focus on is your financial status "towards your family composition" esp if you married. If you ain't married, please ignore this advise of setting of a savings account or that of your spouse will suffice to deposit/save/transfer funds for the well-being or welfare of your family, it doesn't have to be huge maybe 2m - above. This could likewise be explained as an emergency or backup funds for the family to support the earnings of your spouse in your absence as she is gainfully employed.

In justifying your financial status towards your family composition, you can do this:

1. Attach your spouse's employment letter, payslips, CAC(if self employed). No need to include her bank statement to show the emergency funds transferred/saved but you can sound it convincing in your SOP

2. At least you can pay for 3 terms school fees for your kids(if any) then append the receipt to your application.

3. If reside in a lease, show rent payment receipt made/extended, if possible draw out a contract extension lease signed by your land owner and you.

4. If you do business, show evidence or draw a link of your spouse been in charge in your absence.

5. Get your spouse to write a letter of approval/support for your international studies and the provisions made/set aside by you that would cater for their needs and miscellaneous expenses in your absence. Herein, your spouse can then garnish from point 1-4 for you which should also correlate with your SOP.

Also, you done well to include a cosponsor, not that you won't be able to secure your SP as a self sponsored but its a right move getting a cosponsor whether a third party or not BUT I will advise you to change the title to a Sponsor because you is still self sponsored with a closing balance of 1.2m esp if you have a spouse, let the sponsor alleviate that burden.

The sponsor now don't need to pay or transfer a dim for your application purpose, what should be done is to state the responsibility to pay for your flight itinerary and other miscellaneous expenses upon your arrival to help you settle comfortably in the LOS. You might want to consider this:

1. In the LOS, your sponsor should intuitively construct points by points expatiating why the sponsorship and how come you, and what's the share from the benefits of such sponsorship.

2. He should avoid presumptuous/unsure/indirect words like "would/could/might" and rather replace them with "will/can."

3. Your sponsor should rather make a promissory commitment like: immediately your SP is approved or prior to the approval of your SP, that he will take responsibility of your flight and travel itineraries.

4. etc

The requited document for the sponsorship are:

a. Employment letter or CAC certification if self employed

b. Bank statement and other investment certificate(if applicable)

c. Payslips, reference letter, ID

d. Affidavit of sponsorship

e. etc

d. The sponsorship letter likewise your SOP should reflect your funding/scholarship and its sufficiency for your 1st semester tuition fees and living expenses. The funding should be given in the breakdown of how it was awarded, it would make more sense that just summing it up.

In terms of home ties, if you have no or don't have previous connection or work history with the company, don't do ask for an employment letter rather strengthen your home ties to your spouse and landed property, member of a social organization etc except you can improvise a tricky method to show a previous work history with the company.

It will also be advised to construct a LOE to address your refusal reasons to support your SOP.

Any family budget made to cover them in your absence should be a year except if you is capable to stretch it to 2yrs. Also, given that you won't be applying immediately as you awaiting for your gcms notes, try to keep the account you intend to apply with very active and the closing balance shouldn't stay the same - at least top it a little up. If you were to be reapplying immediately then it wouldn't have matter.

BTW don't change any previously stated information but you can rather add to it or reduce or include certain relevant documents.

Try to avoid including too many documents but given its a reapplication, you might also want to include any relevant documents that can buttress you application especially to make it convincing and satiating to the VO.

Good luck!

The routine of IRCC sending a biometrics validity mail to applicants whose applications are almost ripe for a pluck became traditional from late 2018 - can't vividly recall the exact month but I think its in August.

I pray your luck shines in perfection this time, shinning both by day and night, and brighter than the sun and moon, and glitters more the stars.

Good luck!

[quote author=wealthmiq post=78031199]Good morning everyone. I'm just curious please. I just got correspondence mail without upfront medicals. if all is going well, is medical request not supposed to come before correspondence mail? Let me share my experience with you. I have applied 3 times for TRV. The first was in 2015 via online route and I did upfront medical which was updated to pass after 4 weeks, and I got a refusal mail 2 weeks after. The second application was in October 2018 via paper route, I didn't do medical. I also didn't do biometrics as I explained to the guy at VFS that I had done it before? I got a biometrics correspondence after 4 weeks of my application and a refusal letter "that my processed passport is ready for collection at VFS" 2 weeks later. Total time for processing my application on the first 2 occasions were approximately 6 weeks both online and paper. I submitted a third application 2nd of April and yet to receive any correspondence.

Application submitted: 2nd April
Biometrics: Not needed (3rd application)

We now have a sample of 34 hopefuls!

I would encourage those that have applied this year to share their timeline (with details such as; Application Route, whether you're a new or re-applicant, School Resumption Date, Application Date, Biometrics Request Date, Biometrics Done Date, Medical Request, Medicals Done, Medicals Passed, PPR or the Current Status of your application). If you don't have all this information, you can just share the ones that you have and update the rest as you receive it. This information would help us study or attempt to establish a pattern to how CIC operates. (Please note that the calculated estimates are just averages based on the little sample we have. Your processing time may be faster or slower than the average)

For those that have already submitted their timeline, kindly share if you are a new applicant or a re-applicant. Also, please share when you are expected to resume school. This would help us understand if there is a relationship between processing time and resumption date.
