Oh! There's a WhatsApp group? Make una add me oh biko.

I am certain we'll see in NB for this January start date by God's grace. Yes, the province does offer amazing opportunities, I'm glad God ordered my steps there without me even knowing all of it.

It will surely end in praise...

silvamania:
Yes am also going for MBA @ Saint john,NB. Same January resumption date. Am also inside the whatsapp group

Hopefully we get good result soon and go over there.

The province offers lots of opportunities

All the best to everybody

Yes, Saint John, NB (MBA). Sarah has been my plug from Day 1, all through application process and all.

Is that where you're going too? What's your start date? Mine is January 4th so this approval and visa must come this month oh by God's grace.

All the best...

silvamania:
Wow.. you are going to Saint John , NB (MBA) ??

All the best sis

Thanks Olasubomi. You've been very helpful and congrats again.

See you in New Brunswick. Saint John or Fredericton though? I'm going to Saint John.

But tbh, First Bank na very yeye old school bank. They cannot do MBS neither can they send via courier. I have told hubby to move his account biko. Issshhh

olasubomy:
Yes , i had it before submitting my application and also yes to your other question, i tick yes to the question of taken a language test before and the reason i uploaded the IELTS as proof.

Yeah, Thanks alot for the clarification @Olasubomi. Maybe I would have considered uploading my IELTS GT but on my application form, I actually ticked NO as answer to the question if i had taken a language test.

olasubomy:
Hi TeeMade, i submitted IELTS Academic with my application before the NSE request. When the NSE request letter was sent, this did not come with request for IELTS anymore.

I think any of the modules is acceptable since their letter is not specific on which to submit,i think you should submit the one you have.

Hello @Olasubomi, sorry for the plenty questions oh. Your success attracts attention cos NSE is new and we're trying to do the best we can.

Did you write your IELTS after receiving NSE letter or you had it before you submitted your application?

If you had it before submitting your application, did you tick YES on the application form when asked if you have taken a language test and did you upload the test results on your application form?

[quote author=olasubomy post=96818418][/quote]

Hello @ Frankrobbn1, I have done as requested. Biko share, many thanks.

Frankrobbn1:
You may reach out via my signature and I'll be glad to share with you.

Congrats Olasubomi. Please were you also asked to submit IELTS test result? If yes, which one did you use, Academic or General? Your response will help alot. Thanks.

olasubomy:
Yes i got request for NSE to submit mybankstatement certificate but my sponsor bank (Standard Chartered) which had the major fund is not on the mybankstatement platform.

What i did was to get another printed copy of the statement showing transaction for 1 year and got the bank to stamp all the pages and was able to convince the bank to send the statement via courier to the Canadian embassy in Lagos and quote my applicaton and UCI no on the waybill.

So i uploaded a one page letter of explanation ( notifying the VO that Standard Chartered is not on mybankstatement platform) reason this was sent by courier. + uploaded the waybill tracking sheet (UPS) + stamped soft copy of that same bank statement +mybank statement certificate ( for my own salary account - Stanbic IBTC) and submitted.

That was the initiative i took.

Well said @ Chukwubuikexo. Also, the processing time is usually updated weekly on Tuesdays but I don't think they necessarily follow it. Best thing is to pray for prompt processing.

Chukwubuikexo:
15 weeks, someone posted a pic showing it has changed to 31 weeks, there is still the NSE program that takes 20 days processing time.

Affidavit of return makes your application stronger but it isn't compulsory

You have to list the documents you submitted for the initial refusal and your profile, so you can be assisted with what to include this time

Hello Mokenn,

AirBnB might be your easiest option oh for accommodation, plus my friends who have used it said it's cheaper and better.

Safe journey and all the best...

MOKENN:
Hello My People,


I'll be lañding in Canada on the 30th.

I appreciate any info, links or offers for quarantine àccomodation in Kitchener Doon.

Thanks

One more thing @Frankrobbn1, kindly assist to share a sample/content of an affidavit of return. I recall someone who got approved recently mentioned you drafted hers or his. Biko help ooh.

Thanks in advance.

Chai!!! God bless you @Franrobbn1. E just be like sey I dey read your mind when I wrote my SOP. At least this is a confirmation that my SOP was well put together.

As always, it will end in praise oh and I will share my testimony here pretty soon by God's grace.

Frankrobbn1:
I regret to hear about the outcome of your application. Given that your application was refused based on your purpose of visit to Canada, I will suggest that you put more effort in constructing a persuasive and concise SOP/LOE that will demonstrate that you're a bona-fide applicant and would depart upon the completion of your studies.

The Letter of Explanation should extensively and convincingly explain the lucrativeness and reasonableness of such program (BSc in Business Administration) in your home country considering it's exorbitant tuition fees. If it is financially rewarding back here in Nigeria that can offest the cost of the program in Canada. The range of opportunities the program in Canada will bring to you as a person. What you intend to achieve in a short-term and long-term basis. Since you claim to have a registered and functioning business, you should clearly state that this business is of utmost importance to you, and going to Canada is solely to advance your career prospects so you could expand your business into a global brand. More importantly, you should emphasize on the difference you will make when you return to your country e.g you being a business consultant in the long-term by providing critical business solutions to multinational companies and government as well as using your business for creation of wide range of employment opportunities for teeming youths in your home country etc...

I hope this information helps. Also, order for your GCMS notes, so we could have a clearer picture about your refusal.


It will end in praise

Hello Japh11,

Must you pay the full school fees or the termly payment will do? Asking in advance oh because I believe...

Japh11:
Information!!!
Those that are coming to Canada. Endeavour to come with your school enrollment verification and school fee payment print out/receipt. This is very very much important. Without the enrollment verification from your school to show you enrolled for the program, they might refuse your travel. And they also ask for the school fee receipt when before issuing you your study permit.

Congratulations... I'm next by God's grace.

But the Detty December shaaa, make 2021 no go Dirty for real oh @apply again in January. Lol

Blavkmaann:
Hello guys!

I’ve just been approved, Yh, and my passport is on its way back

But is like I no wan go again?
How can I ask for a refund of al the money I’ve spent!

Please I need sharp answers

I want to use the money to do Detty December, I’ll apply again in January, but for now I need my money back!


Thank u

Thank you so much @frankrobbn1, this is very helpful. I will take this option for my peace of mind�.

@ JustMellow definitely addressed some concerns too. Thanks a bunch, you guys rock!!!

Just one more question, how will I know the responsible immigration office handling my application? Thanks in advance.

And YES! It's gotta end in praise...

Frankrobbn1:
My sincere apologies for the late reply... I trust my fellow capable member (Justmellow) was able to address your questions.


Considering that your Sponsor's bank does not offer the MyBank Statement with ticket ID and password. I'll suggest you inform the responsible immigration office via the IRCC webform and appeal that your application should be processed through the regular channels. I don't think its logical to transfer the funds in other account just to make up the 30kcad.

Let me know if you've any other questions

It will end in praise

Hello Silvamania, i am also very interested in this conversation oh, especially cos it seems you're also going to UNB, correct me if I'm wrong please.

silvamania:
I applied by myself on October

Also . The NSE is not direct now . IRCC will send you an email to that effect. I have since sent the requested documents

Just contact me through my moniker

I think there’s a rule against email and other stuffs here.
Send me a request and we will talk bout the whole thing

Have a great day

Thanks @ JustMellow for the response. I'm a bit confused though, biko no vex, help clarify.

What I mean is, the part of the application form that says have you taken a language test from an authorised blablabla (Yes/No) I ticked No oh. In my first application of September 28th that was refused and in the second one that I submitted on 29th October for which I had already received update that I passed Medical exam on Nov. 20th. I was expecting BVL then Approval and NSE came on Dec. 1st. This GT in question was done since last year September, won't it be termed as inconsistent info? You know the way these pple don't seem to trust applicants, I wanna be sure there won't be any issue of contradiction.

I would have waited till the due date Dec. 31st for them to process through regular channel but I can't cos my program start date is Jan. 4th. That's why I've been thinking of sending them a message via web form ttaching MBS from the 2 banks that offers it plus 12months statement of my hubby's account with a reference letter from the bank for credibility sake and other documents to further support my application. I feel that they will be interested in seeing my hubby's financial flow/history because he's the sponsor.

I hope you understand where I'm coming from now? Please advise.

JustMellow:
If you think the NSE is worth it, the GT would suffice. Technically, you are applying for immigration under a sub-category of SP.

Hmmmm... issokai! God dey and He will give us all, the wisdom to do the right thing that will result in our desired approval sharperly. Thanks for the response.

Time2soar:
Yes you can use the IELTS you wrote last year but I am not sure about the fact that you indicated that you had not taken a language test but you can explain that you thought it is academic that is required if IRCC sent you the NSE letter, you best bet is to try and submit the required documents, it is not advisable to request that they should continue with the normal processing but the choice is your

God's grace and mercy indeed bro. So happy for you and I tap into your testimony oh... Approval toh sure�

adeenzo:
Yes ooo, it has been God all the way.... I had submitted my application before I even knew there was a forum on nairaland for student visa. I felt so bad that only if I knew this before, I would have made my documentation more solid. But we thank God for his grace and mercies.

Please oh guys, I still have a question. I wrote IELTS last year which meets this NSE requirement but in my application I did not indicate that I had taken a language test and that's because it's not Academic but General. I thought for study it had to be Academic.

Can I use that same IELTS result now if I choose to opt for this NSE stream or should I just request that they should continue with the normal processing channel? Especially since my sponsor's bank does not offer the requested MyBankStatement Certificate. Biko advise ooohh

Time2soar:
Still send one year bank statement and ielts, mybankstatement removes the need for IRCC to verify the statement but a one year statement is still required with the required money even if you can't get mybankstatement

Thanks for this post @JustMellow. That your sponsor's bank does not offer the requested MyBankStatement Certificate, is that reason cogent enough?

I'm asking becuase my hubby is my sponsor and First Bank does not offer this type of statement but my bank offers it and we have a joint account in a bank that offers it too. The only challenge is that these 2 banks does not contain all my proof of financial support which I submitted with my application but they have the 30k CAD combined. The remaining PoF are in several other financial institutions in investment accounts like local & foreign shares, asset management etc.

What do you advise please? Can i still opt for the normal processing channel?

JustMellow:
Hello Oluwaseyitanfun,

I hope I responded as early as possible. The NSE stream is a new pathway that many are still understudying. Nonetheless, almost similar rule(s) that's applicable to SDS is somehow conform to NSE.

Going through the NSE stream isn't a guarantee for an outright approval. The only advantage of this stream is the application and maybe priority.

It depends on your budget, if there is readily available funds, then you may want to take the test. As a newly introduced stream, IRCC may want to do that best to make it attractive by baiting prospect applicants with some level of approvals though this is me only writing what's to the best of my knowledge.

On the other hand, there is no need pressuring to go down the NSE stream if the application has been submitted and if the NSE requirements can't be easily meant at that moment, especially the financial aspect. The NSE message can be ignored and see to point 3 in your post which I absolutely second. The reasons must be cogent and clear.

Irrespective of the tone of the IRCC letter and the deadline stated, I somehow believe other specific checks (i.e. background, security) may likely continue during the hiatus. If you're curious to the outcome of your application quickly or for some reasons you need the swift processing of your application, then you may want to go ahead and take the IELTS test then ensure to meet the financial requirements amongst other secondary requirements not stated as part of the NSE requirements.

I think its almost true that not every applicant is recieving the NSE letter but those likely to get it are those from middle/late October onward. I will disagree on the excerpt that mentioned your friend saying its a positive sign. I believe maybe the said person might be mistaking it for the AIP letter. I believe its a technique by IRCC to promote the awareness of the NSE stream same way they did when Morrocco & Senegal became eligible for SDS and when Indian's SPP was changed to SDS.

All the best

Hello Silvamania, did you indicate that you have taken a language test by ticking yes when you filled your IMM Study Permit application form? If you ticked No? The General IELTS test result that you uploaded, was it written after or before you submitted your application? Please assist to clarify.

silvamania:
I used IELTS General

Yes oh, very valid question.

bidemialade43:
Yes, this information helps but the 30kCAD... is it before or after paying tuition fee?

Hello @Time2soar, please confirm why you said it is not advisable to opt out of NSE. What do you do when you don't have the requirements? Thanks in advance.

Time2soar:
Write the IELTS test,
Your application will likely be on hold until the due date for the submission of NSE requested documents

It is not advisable to opt out of NSE

Not sure on this but if you receive the NSE letter it means your application is still on track and your chance of approval increases if you submit the requested documents

Big congratulations to you! All I can say is wow... considering all the documents you didn't provide and a 1page SOP. This is an assurance that the God factor is super key, it's not just about the documents. Congrats again.

adeenzo:
This is a full thread of my application, i would make it as concise as possible.

I thank God for this, and also I am highly grateful for everybody that contributed one way or the other.
There isn't any method to the Canada application, just do your due diligence, be patient, and pray.

It is well oh. I am honestly trying to get answers too. The gurus here can help with a good advise I believe. It can only end in praise.

Jelam:
@Teemade
I also got the NSE message
But my bank standard chartered doesn’t give the mybankstatement financial certificate stuff.
What do I do?

@frankrobbn1 I'll really appreciate your response and that of other gurus here. I am considering providing a response to them that I do not have the required documents and explain in details, especially for the fact that my hubby/sponsor's bank (First Bank) does not issue the MyBankStatement certificate and some of the proof of funds submitted are in several investments with documented evidences provided. So they should kindly resume processing of my application rather than just waiting till the due date which is Dec. 31st and my program start date is Jan. 4th. Biko help oh

TeeMade:
Please I need your advise @frankrobbn1. My hubby is my sponsor and he uses First Bank which I hear does not issue this financial certificate being requested, for the NSE processing route. We also have our our joint accounts with Stanbic, have our bulk funds in Stanbic Asset Management account and Stanbic USD Funds account. The Asset management arm of the bank is also a separate financial body that may not offer the requested certificate since its not a typical bank. Also, I submitted documents from several financial institutions showing proof of investments in local and foreign shares plus my own available funds as well which makes up all the proof of financial support that I submitted with my application. My questions therefore are:
1. Will it suffice if some of the funds are moved to my personal account to make up the required 6months funds while I explain the lump sum in a letter? especially since the funds are coming from thesame financial sources for which i have initially presented documents when i submitted my application?

2. Does the 6months funds include or exclude tuition fees? Since IRCC requires 10k CAD for a 1year stay in Canada outside Quebec, 6months funds should mean 5k CAD. Please clarify

3. Will they not be interested in seeing my hubby's financial source and records for the requested 12months since he is actually the sponsor? But now that his bank does not offer the requested certificate, how do we go about this? Or

4. Can I just write to them to continue with the initial processing since I am unable to get the required document from First Bank to show my hubby/sponsor's 12months financial history as requested?

Frankrobbn1:
Nigeria Student Express Program (NSE) have fully been implemented by IRCC to help fast-track study permit processing from Nigeria. Apparently, a good number of applicants have been receiving this update on their CIC account. I will strongly advice prospective applicants who qualify for this route to utilize it because through the NSE program, you will enjoy faster processing within an average of 20 days. More importantly, the process is straightforward once you feel you meet the requirements:

To be eligible for faster processing through the NSE, you must meet the following criteria:

1. Apply online.
2. Be a Nigerian Citizen or legally residing in Nigeria.
3. Have an acceptance from a post-secondary designated learning institution in Canada for a Bachelor's degree, Master's, Phd degree or a Post-Graduate Diploma course.
4. Live outside of Canada when you apply.
5. Have a MyBank certificate showing sufficient funds for your studies (equivalent of $30,000) for at least six (6) months plus 12 months of banking history.
6. Only if you're planning to study in Quebec, you must provide a Certificat du Quebec (CAQ) from the Ministere de Immigration.
7. Get a medical exam before you apply (Upfront Medicals).
8. Have a language test (IELTS) that shows; a score of 6.0 or higher in each skill (reading, speaking, writing, and listening).


I hope this information is helpful to everyone.


It will end in praise

Did you use Academic IELTS or General? Please clarify

Thanks boss



Yes i have done IELTS and submitted one year of my bankstatement

All the best[/quote]

@donmakabelli, thanks for this wonderful post cos you read my mind. My only question is that must your SOP be 2 pages or can it be up to 3 depending on your situation and things you need to emphasize

dommakavelli:
So, I thought I would leave some hints about how to write a statement of interest. I think it is better if you break your essay down into sessions so the visa officer can find it easy and interesting to read. You may use the example below.


Background:
Here, you should talk about your academic background, your work experience(s) that are relevant to your studies, annual income, your program in Canada, start and end date. Who is your sponsor, your relationship with your sponsor and how much you have paid towards your tuition.
Note: Keep whatever you say regarding the bolded to one or two sentences because you will elaborate later. Also, don't worry about repetition, you want to keep putting those good things about you in the Visa officer's mind as they read.
Note: They often read everything. I've seen a GCMS note where the officer said the statement of interest is Vague. This part is like your introduction, more like a summary of everything you have to say in your letter. The rule of thumb is that if the introduction doesn't make sense, the body of the letter or essay won't make sense too.

My Study Plan
This is the part where you have to kill it. You should link whatever you say to your future goals. You must be concise and clear. It is not about how much you write, you don't want to be vague. Make whatever your writer personal. Think like you are in front of a visa officer and you have to convince him to approve your visa. The goal of this part is to address the first condition of the study permit (PURPOSE OF VISIT).

Note: Keep this part to 4 to 5 paragraphs and each paragraph should be between 5 to 8 lines, 12 font, new times roman. This font and font size are standard for APA academic writing.

Example:

In the first paragraph, talk about why you are interested in your proposed program and link it to your future goals. This should be brief because you will elaborate in the next paragraph

Paragraph two, talk more about why you choose your program. You can get information from your program website. (You know that info about your program on the school website, paraphrase it and make it sound like they are your words). Conclude the paragraph by linking whatever you say to your future career goals.

Paragraph three, you should talk about your career goals. In this part, you need to put everything together. You could talk about how your previous study has prepared you for this new program. Link your previous studies and work experience with your proposed study. Then link everything to your future plans.

Paragraph four, you should link what you spoke about in paragraph three to coming back home to pursue your goals. For example, if you have a job /business that you will be going back to, talk about them. Talk about how your study in Canada would help you to grow in your future career. Talk about the possibility of progression in your current job and how studying your program in Canada would help you. You may also talk about how you plan to contribute to your country's development.


Why I choose my school (name the school)
You can get information from the school website. Remember to paraphrase and link whatever info you get to how studying your program in that school is the best choice. Keep to one or two paragraphs.

E.G, After much research, I realized that to grow in my career, I have to study where education is best taught. I choose MUN, amongst other schools because of whatever. I have learned that MUN emphasis on whatever that helps students to learn better. The availability of best professors, and cutting edge research opportunities and whatever inspires me to study at MUN. Something like that. Don't use my words, please. As you know, many people would be reading this.

Why I choose Canada.
Keep this to two paragraphs.

Financial Sponsorship
Here, talk about your sponsors, how much they will support with, mention it if you have paid tuition/accommodation and how much you paid. You may have said this in the introduction, don't worry, it is okay to repeat yourself. Think about it like you are reminding the visa officer about your proof of funds. (The goal here is to talk about the second condition, PROOF OF FUNDS).

Home Ties and Assets
You have to kill this part too and don't worry about repeating yourself. You maY keep it to 3 to 5 paragraphs. The goal here is to convince the officer about the third condition (HOME AND ECONOMIC TIMES). I must say this is the most difficult part.

Example

Paragraph one: Talk about your job/business in Nigerian, how you are doing with them and your plan to come back to them upon completion of your studies.
Paragraph two: You can talk about your professional connections and associations.
Paragraph three: Talk about your relationship with your family. Let the officer know that family is important to you. Your goal is two make this emotional so the officer can understand that your whole life is in Nigeria and you will not throw it away for living in Canada.

Paragraph four: Talk about your financial ties. Do you have properties, cars, rental agreement, stock, money in savings etc. Mention them and conclude this paragraph by saying you have strong economic and family ties to your home country and ask the officer to give high consideration to this. If you signed an affidavit, mention it state that you assure the officer that you will be coming back home after your studies. (I recommend you provide documents for whatever you say here)

Last paragraph: This part, your goal is to make this emotional and connect with the officer's mind. Visa officers are humans too. Remember you have said lots of positive things about yourself, so this is the time to assume that the officer likes you and sees you as a qualified candidate. You should ask the officer to be part of your success story. Write this part as if you are in a job interview and you have the feeling that you will get the job.


Write your conclusion by stating that you believe you are qualified for the study permit based on the info you have provided and urge the officer to approve your application. You should also include your contacts in case they need additional information.


lastly, make sure you use good grammar. Like you are writing an academic paper. It's annoying to have to read a letter that is written poorly. I will be happy if I read a sentence once and understand what you're saying. If I have to read most of your sentences two-three times, to understand, I will be pissed and lose interest. I hope this is helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to ask

Hello house, I'm new here and I need advise from all the experts in the house. I submitted an SP application on August 28th, completed biometrics of September 2nd and got a final decision today, a refusal on the basis that they're not convinced that I will leave Canada after my studies.

An agent I spoke to said everything about my application was accurate but the fact that I said my 2year old daughter will come with me. This is funny cos my husband remains in Nigeria and even wrote a letter of sponsorship as he is the major sponsor for the trip. Sufficient funds were provided too for both my daughter and myself.
I also included that she'll be registered in a Daycare upon arrival in Canada.

The agent has advised that I reapply but state that my daughter won't come with me. She is a US citizen who can actually travel with me without a visa so i was only being honest in my application by stating that she'll be coming with me. I am concerned that even if i say she will no longer come with me, will that be believable since she actually has a document with which she can conveniently travel.

Please advise and lastly, i will like to get the IRCC's email address. Thank you all.

To all the gurus in the house, please I have a question which is, what is the impact of the current visa processing time from Nigeria (25weeks) on the 2-satge SP approval process as announced by IRCC in July? According to this communication, the deadline for SP application submission that will qualify for this 2- stage approach (to get AIP) is September 15th for fall term 2020. Is this still the case?


I don't totally agree with you on this. There are legal implications for "luring" students to register and pay fees if you cannot guarantee their study permits. IRCC won't be able to take the legal backlash that will come from students across the world. Yes, getting a visa is a privilege but making students pay fees without any intention of ultimately giving them their visas will not float.


The matter appears simple to me; the first stage approval is the most important part of the visa approval process. We are only seeing the high numbers now because we are yet to see the first stage rejections. Our analysis will not be complete until we balance both. Don't forget that Nairaland users represent less than 1% of Nigerian study permit applicants.


If you have passed the eligibility stage, the factors that will stop you from getting the final permit are clearly stated by the IRCC and they include: criminal history, medical issues, and fraudulent documents. The last item is very significant because complete applications will be vetted, like you rightly said, before final decisions will be made but negative final decisions will be contingent on misrepresentation by the applicant. As long as every other thing goes well, applicants should expect their study permits based on this pre-approval.[/quote]

[quote author=JustMellow post=93739406]Hello Silvamania,

If you have evidence for the co-op, then answer YES correctly to the question when filling your online questionnaire. If the evidence isn't available, you can request it from yoir school. If this isn't possible, you can fill NO in the questionnaire and can always apply for that prior before its commencemnt within Canada.

BTW did your DLI request for a fee (tuition) deposit?

All the best

[/Hello Sylvania,

UNB will normally provide you with a document called CIC Letter, your 8 weeks work practicum is detailed there in as a requirement to complete the course. You can refer to this in your SOP and also upload as evidence of work requirement for your study when submitting your application.
I did exactly thesame as advised by the school.

Also ensure that you have fulfilled all the conditions stated on the initial acceptance letter. Then request for the unconditional acceptance letter and the updated CIC letter which is what you'll upload.

All the best...]
