• Your proposed studies are not reasonable in light of one or more: your qualifications,
previous studies, level of establishment, language abilities, or your future prospects and plans.
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. What could be the meaning of this refusal? Pls gurus help me out. Plsss this is my second application
What course did you apply for? Is it related to your previous study or job experience? Is there career progression? If you can state all this fact, gurus in the house can help you while you order and awaits your gcms notes.

Please peeps,urgent advise needed. I am almost loosing my mind ooo. Everything about the system here is almost designed to frustrate people. Perhaps anyone who knows someone in immigration should kindly helppppp. Biko.
I believe you do another affidavit that you found the missing passport. And you can continue using it until the old one is ready. On another thought, thread carefully because your passport could have been cancelled, you may need to notify them at the immigration office to know the position.

Bro, I notice you help a lot on here. I'm inspired actually. Are you presently in Canada, or are you also applying for a Visa?

If it so happens that you are just helping out, I honestly don't know how to thank you for all the support you've rendered a lot of people here.

I pray God enriches you and gives you your heart desires.

I don't have any celebratory news, but based on what you've done for others, may greater joy be experienced by you.
A big Amen. I pray your time is NOW

Yeah Yteem was right. Don't mind the people telling you that you are banned. If you can explain the anomaly as regards the name of your mother on application and Sworn affidavit then you are good to go . You have to reapply and address the issue accordingly.
You took the words right out of my mouth. The best thing is to reapply and clear the doubt but you need to be able to proof beyond reasonable doubt.

Good afternoon house, I don’t know if I’m doing this right because I’m new to this Nairaland , someone just introduced me to this thread as well, because I’m in a serious dilemma right now, I really need help and please anyone that really wish to offer me help should please do so, I need advice on what to do if it is not too late for me, because I’m hooked right now

I have a BSC in Economics and I graduated since 2012. And I have this ambition of going abroad
I’m considering master but I had a 2.2

I met this agent on Instagram and he promises heaven and earth
He convinced me that I do not need to stress my self applying for a master that I can apply for another undergraduate program that he has a way of getting admission for undergraduate studies from a particular school in canada and then when I get to canada I can decide to work for 2 years and use the remaining 2 years to apply for masters in canada because I will be issued a 4years visa.. He said he will apply at the canada embassy for a second degree on my behalf that what he need to do is to Support the application with a good SOP, he said he’s good at what he does and he has a way to package me and my application before the embassy,

so I agreed and he charge me about 300k for application fees and services charge for admission process and after few weeks the admission came out but it was a conditional admission that doesn’t indicate my course of study

I don’t have a sponsor but at that time I had about 2million in my account and he said he can provide me with a sponsor if I paid 250k and I negotiated and we agreed and I paid

After then I paid another 100k for visa fee to his account. and what we have agreed on was that he will charge 100k when visa is out

And few days ago he send me messsage that I will be the one to write the SOP accepted I will write the SOP, and I was asking him to give me some information about the sponsors and the amount of money in the Sponsors account.. he told me he can not disclose any information about the sponsors to me for security reasons.

He send me a very quack SOP samples that is enough for that VO to Denied the Visa.

How can I write a good SOP without a detailed information about the sponsor and all.

It was then I realized that this guy just wanted to collect my money and send anything to the embassy, because I see he has nothing to lose if I got denied

He also told me that I will have to pay his 100k services charge when I’m going for my biometrics and that was not our initial agreement

I’m 31 years old I’m married but I’m not legally married I have a 6months old baby right now. He said all that does not matter that he will include all of that in my application to boost my chance I have been an hustler ever since my secondary school days sponsoring my self and my sister to school We have parents but they are not well to do because my father is a retired military man and mum don’t work.

My work experience is not really in line with the course I study in school

Because I had worked in School as client attendant and also work in a private organization in production department as a production staff
And I use my car as a side hustle for Uber

I actually wanted to tell the agent not to submit my application to the embassy because getting a denial will have a lot of negative effect on my status later in the future and I may not know how to correct them.. and he do not want to refund my money back to me

Please house what can I dohuh Please do not ignore my message in the name of God! Insult and constructive critics are also welcome�

Should I just forget about the admission and the visa application because I’m sensing denial or is their anything I can do that will boost my chances..
Please and please, run, see if you can stylishly get back any money you have paid, but whatever be the case, DONT I repeat DONT allow him to submit or process your visa application. Else, he will ruin your chances of being able to travel to Canada or any other country for that matter.

awys:
Please everyone I just finished a Zoom meeting with my school where they talked about Pre-travel, Quarantine,IRCC policies and all and information reaching me now is IRCC said students with May resumption must travel to Canada to begin their studies before May that's like 2-3 weeks thats if you have your study permit approved already for you to be eligible for PGWP so for example if you are resuming in May and your permit has been approved and you say you want to start online from your home country to save cost please think again as they will not count it towards your PGWP eligibility so pack your bags and travel jejely 2-3weeks before your program starts in MAY
Thanks for this information. But what of those that are still waiting for approval and resuming in May? Will they in anyway be affected?

Good day everyone, LONG POST ALERT (But believe me when I say it is supposed to be longer)
I have been a silent and longsuffering reader of this thread, actively reading since like Part 14 or 15.
On Tuesday the 9th of February 2021, I got the much-awaited PPR!
This is my gist:
December 2019, I reignited my dream to go to Canada. I genuinely wanted a career change from Law to HR. I finished with a 2:2 (Second Class Lower) in both Law and my first degree in English (I’m a young old man – 27 going to 28), and a 2:1 (Second Class Upper) from Law School. It was good enough to get me a decent job in Nigeria but the reality is stark and rather disappointing (Nigerian Lawyers dey suffer… but that is gist for another day).
With deep research, I chose to make the career switch, starting with paid online course which bagged me a diploma in Human Resources. I took this with hopes of one day becoming a specialist with my background in Labor Laws and Employment Legislation, by God’s grace. It was a big and tall dream. My target job and related field was and is increasingly always in Top 3 in-demand and top paid jobs in Canada. But we all know man proposes and God blesses as He wills.
I initially started off with interest in Express Entry under the FSW, but the impediment was my years of foreign work experience - less than a year. I wrote my IELTS and passed with 8.0. Overall Band Score, did my evaluation with WES (getting a transcript from Nigerian institutions is a task I wouldn’t wish on my enemy) but the CRS score was still too low. The only way to boost is was to effectively be fraudulent and risk a five-year ban. No, that was too much of a risk. I was advised by an acquaintance to try study route. How? I had no knowledge of it and I didn’t graduate with 2:1 that I could try Masters. I did my research and applied to two schools for a Business Diploma in Human Resources (I was adamant I wanted Saskatchewan for “personal” reasons.) and got admission offer into Great Plains College, Swift Current. This was EIGHT months after I started my Canada plans. I dumped EE for study with age not really being on my side as I intended to use my mother as the sole sponsor (Salary was nothing to write home about) for an ordinary diploma… me, a graduate with two university degrees, NYSC, and a qualified Lawyer. The odds were heavily and massively stacked against me. I waited and waited and waited and it seemed the world was passing me by and I wasn’t making progress. I broke down many times and kept my sincerity in my relationship with God even in my imperfection.
Nairaland and this thread is a big blessing. I got so much insight from being humble enough to learn from everyone.
My Application Timeline goes thus,
- Applied Online: October 6, 2020
- Biometrics Request: October 7, 2020
- Biometrics Completed: October 9, 2020
- NSE Additional Document Request (MyBankStatement Cert): November 24, 2020
- Upfront Medical after waiting and not getting request: November 25, 2020
- Medical Updated to Passed: December 2, 2020
- NSE Additional Document Uploaded: December 2, 2020
- NSE Additional Document Received: December 4, 2020
- Eligibility Review Started: December 4, 2020
- Deferred January Admission to September and informed IRCC with the new Acceptance documents via webform and mails to the three Nairobi e-mails.
- Requested GCMS Notes: January 28, 2021
- PPR and BVL and GCMS Notes all dropped: February 9, 2021
A total of FOUR months and 3 days passed and EVERY SINGLE DAY was excruciating. I prayed, fasted, and made covenants with God. I dipped into depression more than once… He gave me Jeremiah 29: 11 and I prayed for favour every night before I slept and every morning before I opened my eyes, I reminded God of His promises in His word. I got my Joy back even before the miracle happened. I was instructed to do what Otunba, lekiboboe and especially Awys did in their various posts like https://www.nairaland.com/6321900/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/228#98846426 and it worked! I am grateful to Blavkmaann , your posts gave me hope and cheered me up and FrankRobbn1 you’re a blessing. I can’t mention everyone but you’ve all inspired me.

Documents submitted:
1. Application for Study Permit made outside Canada (FORM imm1294e)
2. Application for Temporary Residence (FORM imm5257f)
3. Client Information
a. My Statement of Purpose
b. My Birth Certificate
c. My siblings’ Birth Certificates
d. My academic and professional certificates: First Degree Cert, Second Degree Cert, WAEC Cert, Online Diploma Cert, Law School Cert, NYSC Cert, and Call to The Bar Cert.
e. Academic Transcripts from both Universities attended (Student Copy suffices)
f. IELTS General Test Result
g. There was an IRCC Form filled from school I attached.
h. Police Certificate
i. Father’s Death Certificate
j. Study Questionnaire
4. Digital Photo
5. Family Information (FORM imm5645e)
6. Letter of Acceptance
7. International Passport Data Page
8. Proof of Means of Financial Support:
a. Sworn Affidavit for support by mother duly notarized
b. Letter of appointment/confirmation of appointment at work for mother
c. Salary Payroll of the sponsor (mother) for 6 months prior to application
d. Sponsorship Letter
e. Relevant Work certificates for sponsor
f. Printed and scanned Bank Statements of sponsor for 4 months prior to application (Current and Savings totalling 5.4 M Naira)
g. Proof of Sponsor’s Rent Collection over property signed by her Lawyer.
h. Receipt and confirmation of payment of Tuition Deposit of $CAD 8,500 for a Semester
i. Sponsor’s International Passport data page
j. Certificate of Occupancy of sponsor’s property
k. Employment/Work Identity Card of Sponsor
l. Bank Investment Account worth 3.04M Naira

NOTE: When I got the NSE Request for a Mybankstatement Cert, I initially sent series of webforms and mails that I don’t want to do because I was seeing $CAD 30,000 minimum when we barely had half! I was led to submit it with a balance of 3.6M Naira (having already paid $CAD 8,500 deposit) because upon reading the letter again, it said “Proof of Financial Support A mybankStatement certificate showing sufficient funds for your studies for at least 6 months and 12 months of banking history”, which mean (to my new understanding) half of the requirement for a year’s sufficient funds… English can be hard.
Let me not bore you. I hope and trust I have been able to restore someone’s faith here. Don’t be moved by what you see (even on this forum, I saw people with over ten times of what my mother has and even being fully-funded and what not, not getting approved, I’m not despising anyone - God forbid, just keep the faith and DO YOUR HOMEWORK well, God cannot be mocked.), your joy is key – don’t lose it, keep busy and don’t stay idle - depression sets in faster then, a delay can never be a denial.
I’ll be resuming September 2021. Let me stop here, it has ended in praise!
Congrats. I love testimonies like this, it’s the strength needed for those of us strictly depending on God. I shall testify to, as God liveth

Hello Testimonytime,

Given that you've already pay for your first semester tuition, my suggestion is now void. So, there won't be any need to tamper with the fx given the flunctuating rates and scarcity.

Best you should do is see to ways on how to gradually run your account or your spouse deposit in lump sum your LE into your account (if you have good inflows) with brief explanation in both your letter(s).

Since your spouse is financially capable, I see no reason why you will want to present a BS with such low closing balance. Improve the amount further up.

Best of Luck
Thanks @ Justmellow.
We will just make the LE available In my account with explanations. I appreciate.

[quote author=JustMellow post=98741777]Hello Testimonytime,

In this kind of situation, several factors come to mind:

• How much is your tuition
• Is your spouse level of establishment good
• How steady/reliable is your spouse's source of funds
• What is your family composition
• What is the length of the program
• Minus tuition and LE, how much will be sitting in your spouse's BA
• Will you still be earning why studying and is there a demonstrative evidence

The aforementioned is just a rhetorical question and if it can be adequately answered, you may only worry little and hope

Good afternoon,

Pending input from other gurus, 400,000 naira is quite low because the visa officer would do the conversion to Canadian dollars so if you have some time, you can hold on to the submission and build it up a little more maybe up to 1 million on the dot or slightly below I million (avoid lumpsum deposits ) but I would say sometimes the VO may not really be concerned about the huge cash balances in your bank statement but the integrity and consistency of inflow of funds in your statement so they check to see that there is consistency in inflows coming into your account every month ( in form of salaries, allowances etc) and as long as the statement is not falsified nor any unexplained huge lump sum deposits.

Also, If the bank deposit being paid into your account by your company reads salary on your bank statement, you can attach that being your salary account. If your company deducts and remits pension, you can also attach your pension statement as further proof of your employment status.

Additionally, since you have your husband as your main sponsor, he should have the amount in his account to cover your tuition and living expenses for at least your first year in the programme or more if possible then you can also attach your salary account statement to support his.

Let him do an affidavit of support that he is sponsoring you for the duration of your programme( i am assuming you are applying alone and leaving him back home as a home tie). You also mentioned your husband has several landed properties. Try to do an evaluation of your property in one single document, the evaluation report can include pictures of these landed properties (The estate valuer should know what to do). This can be an additional home tie.

Finally, work very well on your Statement of purpose. Don't be in a haste to submit your application. review your SOP further to be sure you have addressed the area of career progression, study plan, the reason for the switch from practicing as a lawyer to a head cook/baker and how your intended programme would add value to you when you come back home after your studies.

I wish you success.
Thanks so much, for the detailed advice. Iv tried my best on my study plan and I had to include all the cooking/ baking certificate I acquired overtime.
The snag is my school resume April and I may not have the time to start building the acct, hubby has written sponsorship letter, paid first semester deposit and has more than enough funds to cover my first year.

Also, I thought of the evaluation but it’s to late now as the surveyors said it might take weeks, unfortunately, if I defer, I will have to wait till next year April again since my programmer does not run in the fall.

I will take my chances, I have done my due diligence and will leave the rest to God. I believe He’s got my back.
Thanks so much for the guide.

Since your husband is your sole sponsor and can proof the first year school fees and 10k living expenses. No cause for alarm. 400k in your account isn't a red light, it'll be part of home tie, could also stand as personal asset, and your husband n kids also being your strongest hometie, that would just serve as additional
Thanks so much, I appreciate this.

Dear NL,
Respect to all contributors and viewers.

Please, I want to apply for undergraduate studies for my wife Nursing, having graduated since 2010 Geology worked as Sales Executive, Store Keeper and now into Catering in the last 4 years.

I was planning probably to use only WAEC to apply for the Nursing program or change to PGD in any course.

Kindly advise...
Why not try postgraduate in culinary management since has been practicing catering for 4 years? There may be no career progression in nursing.

Hello,

Kudos to everyone here. I have been a silent reader, and this is my first post ever on Nairaland!! cheesy I read comments and I have gotten valuable information from here. Congrats to those who have gotten their passports especially through VFS Lagos embarassed and all the best to those who are still awaiting their decisions, wish you all favourable news.

Please oo, is anyone here going to Selkirk College? It is in Castlegar, British Columbia. I have seen the value of relationship and would be lovely to see someone who is going there too. I feel so alone! Please signify so we know ourselves.

Thanks

Pls I will like to check out out my chances before going on with my application for study permit.

I am a 40+ year old law graduate. I graduated since 2002, and practiced law from 2006 till 2017, I even registered a law firm in 2015.
I resigned from my law practice and got job in a restaurant in 2018, this was because iv been doing catering business alongside my law practice as a matter of passion, I had several local certificates of training. I left my law practice and joined a cooking outfit with the plan of having mine in the nearest future, within this two years of intense cooking business, iv had several online international classes including a professional cook certified course which I did for 6 months, I recently registered a restaurant / catering outfit though I have not started operating this cos I’m still working at the restaurant. I need to upgrade to an international chef hopefully, Iv decided to school in Canada for several reasons not limited to relocating. My fear is I couldn’t get to do a Pgd but a college diploma since it’s entirely different from my degree. My husband will be my co sponsor, I will want to apply with my children but not with hubby. Will gap study / age/ college not limit my chances?

My claim may sound ridiculous, but I can indeed defend both old and new career, with pay slips, salary payment etc. I feel I have a very strong and convincing SOP. I have admissions at 2 colleges already. Getting a year mybankstatement with requisite balance will also not be an issue.

Pls gurus should advice plssss

Pls, iv been trying to pay for my application fee of 100 dollars and it has been telling me my account is invalid. I used two different accounts still same response. Can this be as a result of dollar limitation on banks? Pls what is the way forward as its best I apply early. Thanks
