Hello,
You will be required to send your passport for a stamp once a final decision is made on your visa application.
Secondly, you can go to cyber cafes close to you to request for a passport photo for Canada and they can send you the digital copy to your email which you will upload on the Canadian visa website.
All the best

Hello,
You will not need to arrange your documents in a table of contents if you are having issues on doing it. You will just have to make your documents easy to understand and follow an order that will be easy to glance through.

pnieeventures:

Good day everyone,

Please I need template of how to arrange my documents in table of contents.
I will appreciate if I can get some to help with this.

Hello there,

In order to make a lump sum into your account, you can ask a member from your family to make a lump sim into your account and write a deed of gift letter towards you. Mind you, you will have to state your relationship with the member from your family. All the best . Hoping other responses from others for you. It is always advisable to apply for your visa really on time, better early than never.

oloyemeji:
Is it feasible to deposit a lump sum of around 6 million into my account, and what would be the necessary documentation to support it? Furthermore, is it too early to apply for a visa for next year's fall intake?

Hello there,
You do not have any concerns to worry about, you will just have to wait for a decision from IRCC.

Larryjam:
Please who else has experienced this? My applicant medical status was updated to pass on Aug 2nd when eligibility review started 1st Aug. And today medical changed from passed to “ you don’t need medicals” what could have happened please?

Hello,
Biometrics is basically your digital identification, while medicals are the steps you will have to acquire for IRCC to notice you have a medical condition or not.

gideon19:


pls, what's the difference between biometrics and medicals?

Hello,

You can add your POF together with your sponsors. If your sponsor has enough, that is also fine. There’s no harm in adding yours, the more the better

yankison:
Please I'm putting together POF .. I got a someone that can sponsor me .. I'm married though which indicated already .. So my concern is wud it be preferable to also add my own sef POF to show I have some funds to support too ..like 5-6. Together with my sponsor POF ..or I could just use only sponsors .

pufframmy:
I just Got my LOA Yesterday from Conestoga College, but this their Option Of paying Acceptance fees within 1 Month Period,
AND also to balance the first semester fees before June 2023 is given me Headache, I dont know if i should Wait for the other 2 school to view available options, and the 1,500,000 deposit is non Refundable
pls i need advice from Conestoga College applicant how they went about it

Hello there.
You can pay the $1,500 CAD if you have a Nigerian DOM account to make the processing faster for you to secure a seat for the program; this can give you an edge in your application for your Canadian visa. You can also get a refund for the $1,500 CAD if you were refused your study visa, but the school will hold $200. If you pay the $1,500 and you get your acknowledgment from Conestoga, you can then apply for your Canadian study visa.
Good luck

You can check: University of Windsor

Itua123:
Please, i am looking for a university in canada that i can apply for MEng in mechanical engineering and get admission in a month for fall 2023.

Alright. It’s best to apply for your refusal notes on CBSA/GCMS to have a better view on your refusal. However, has your friends dad ever paid for something in the past for you, or even made a payment for part of your Canadian institution? How many years program did you go for ? It’s very good to prove a very strong relationship in your application in whoever is actually sponsoring you. Did you prove a very good relationship with your friends dad in your application?

padie77:


Third-party. My frd's dad

Alright. If you do your medicals, just possibly raise a webform, Incase of anything. Best of luck in The applications.

HopefulSuccess:
After, I saw the date I was scheduled for, I called to see if they could move it to an earlier date but they said 21st is the earliest available date. Don't know what else to do than to hope IRCC gets my result immediately.

Alright. Those are generic responses from IRCC. Who was the sponsor of your application ?

padie77:


I was refused based on this only:

your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable)

Hello there. Are you really sure or have a clear idea on why you were refused? But you even being the applicant, isn’t mandatory for you to include your own statement of account.

padie77:
Good morning gurus, I'm preparing to reapply for student visa by January 2023. My school resumption date is May 2023. I was refused on Nov 28. But as the applicant I felt I should include my own statement account.

Pls how much did you think I can send to my account?

Won't this payments raise suspicions?

Very False. You have every rights to check your portal. It is your application afterwards

Tolifefun:
an agent told me that checking the portal is a red flag, True or false?

If you can do your medicals earlier, it’s really best you do it. You can never tell how long IRCC can process the application.

HopefulSuccess:
Just wanted to confirm if 21st is okay or late

Hello.
It is very advisable to check your portal for updates. Some updates don’t come in email.

Moyosore019:
Good morning, please is it advisable to be checking the portal for updates or wait for the email to do so ( to check for new messages)?

So sorry on the refusal.
Who was the sponsor for the application?

padie77:
Got a refusal on Nov 28th

Application submitted - - November 15th
Biometrics collection letter --November 16th
Biometrics date -- November 21th
Biometric completed--November 21th
No info about medical
Going for a year PGD course at Geogian college
School Resumption date - May 2023

Refusal reason-- Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family)

I submitted POF of 20m, Inflow outflow of 40m

What could be wrong?

Your brothers can sponsor you. Be very aware of how you prove your relationships with your brothers with birth certificates and other factors. If they have paid anything in the past for you, you can include that.

Best of luck

KimberleyNl:
Good day everyone, I need advice concerning POF please. I have a balance of 11m in my account and I am going for a 2 year course. My Tuition is 17075, and I paid 2500 cad, though my school doesn't require Tuition deposit. Obviously my 11m is not enough for 2 years, I want to ask if my 2 brothers can sponsor me for the second year, or I self sponsored myself and explain how I will pay for the second year fees.
Please kindly respond

Hello there,

Timeline and Events
New Portal
First-time applicant
Applied by myself. Learnt all from Google, Youtube, and Nairaland

July 4: Upfront medicals
July 8: Application on New Portal
July 8: Biometrics Request
July 13: Gave biometrics and received on portal
** Somewhere in between I’d uploaded my medical sheet from IOM via webform. Can’t remember when.
August 4 (2AM): Sent mail to Lagos, Nairobi, London and attached my medical sheet.
August 4 (Around 1pm): Biometrics and Medicals updated to pass.
** Long wait, ordered notes, CBSA and GCMS, nothing tangible.
October 11: Sent mail to MP
October 13: MP got back literally saying the same thing on portal.
** Around this period, started firing several versions of mails and webforms.
Nov 16: MP reached out to them again – Preassessment done, eligibility not started.
Nov 17 (Around midnight): Sent mails to Beijing, London, Lagos, Abuja, Nairobi.
Nov 17 (Around 12pm): Eligibility review started on portal
Nov 17 (Around 9pm): BVL and PPR

Little story, for POF which is usually a concern, I had like 5.5M in my account, $2k USD in dorm account. 5M was gift deed from my Dad, he had 25M in fixed deposit since July 2021. As at the time I applied, the money was fixed. There were several opinions about this, but I kept it that way even though I was scared sh*tless. The closing balance of that account was 77k in fact.

Around November 9 ish, I sent updated statement showing liquidated funds and my Dad transferred the balance of like 8M to me since I’d enrolled in courses. My savings in Naira and USD had grown, I also got salary raise at work so I packaged all these and sent severally via webforms – both old and new. Oh yeah, I’ve ordered like 3 notes and I still have 4 pending lol.

I’m adding all of these because I’m not sure what did the trick. It’s pretty much a combination of all.

Hey Guys! If someone gets a passport request for their study visa and the person is applying for a new passport at their designated country, can the person still use the new passport at the border ? Regardless the old/current one still has the visa stamp

Hey guys. Wanted to ask. If someone gets a new passport and already has an old passport stamped with the Canadian visa stamped, can the person still use the new passport at the border in Canada?

No you won’t. When you get to DHL, you can ask them for any extra informations on everything

Uzoamaka123:
Pls can someone respond !!!!!

Do I need to pay transmission fee of 10,400 when sending it to VFS Lagos?
I’m in Lagos as well

This is false information. A lot of people get their study permit approved with a 2:1 or even a first class, while applying for a PGD program

aboveHeights:
There is a higher chance your study permit won't be approved if you apply for a PGD programme in canada
You said you finished with a 2:1, you should put in for a masters programme and not a PGD programme. PGDs are mostly for students who finished with a 2:2 / a third class.

Hello Thomsyne. Any good updates on your application ? We await to celebrate with you soon

Thomsyne:


Yoooo cheers!!

July guys, takeoff is imminent.

This is such a wonderful story.

LANDING GIST:

Hi, everyone! I traveled to Montréal yesterday from the Lagos Airport. My trip was a fairly pleasant experience because my mom has a work colleague at the airport and he led me through the entire thing seamlessly.

My ticket had a layover at Istanbul and it was a very dramatic step-up in aviation from MMA. It was easy to navigate their system without requiring any help from anyone. I could pay in dollars and anywhere I turned, a huge screen with precise information reminded people when and where to be for their flights.

The flight to Montréal was uncomfortable because I'd never flown longer than 6 hours at a time before now. This was like 11 hours. Also, airplane food is kinda gross. I'd recommend taking snacks in your carry-on to anyone traveling here.

On getting to Montréal, I went to the Port of Entry where I got my study permit and the guy who spoke to me was really nice. I was prepared for all sorts of questions about my intent and whatnot but he just asked my school, my major and made some jokes. Then he let me in.

My father and his sister were waiting for me at the arrival section and everything else that's happened has felt like a dream. His sister drove us to our apartment and I remember looking out the window and just realizing that I was in a completely different ecosystem. I didn't recognize any buildings, people, animals. Even the people in the car I was with. I mean I'm literally getting adopted into a new family.

It is a theatrical change from my years in Nigeria and one I definitely wish for whoever desires it. I'm reportedly lucky to be here this time of the year because it's not cold. Just chilly. I've been outside with regular clothes and it's pretty fine.

I don't start classes till Winter or Summer - still deciding cause I deferred for a year when my visa application lingered - so I'm excited to spend the next few months exploring all the resources at my disposal. I'm so grateful for all the information I've picked up from this forum. Thanks everyone!

NB: Does anyone know how I can go about getting a new passport for myself here? I was advised to do that by immigration because it expires next year. Also, how long does it take? I've heard there's a place in Ottawa, can anyone confirm this?

Sorry for the refusal.
The amount you are supposed to have in your sponsors account is the total amount that can carry your duration for your program.
E.g; 1 year degree = full tuition + $10,00 CAD Living expenses. I think the rate IRCC uses is CBN rate which should be around N328 or so.
While 2 year degree = full tuition + 20,000 CAD.
You do not need to really have anything in your own own account, your sponsor already can cover everything with their bank account

Realpaulpat:
Hello Guru's. I goy a reply from the embassy I was denied.

Please I've got some questions;
How much is supposed to be in my sponsor's account? And am I supposed to also have money on my personal bank account aside my sponsor's account?

Glory1568:
Hello, nairaland family.

Please I have an urgent question, what's the average time for receiving stamped passport from Lagos office?

Very sorry. You will have to order your GCMS note to pinpoint more of the refusal reasons.
