God did it
Grace Grace Grace, this is my story.
God answers prayers.

Ppr alert

My time line

My timeline
Applied : 2nd of May 2022
Biometrics : 12 of May 2022
Medical request : 10th of June
Medicals updated to pass : 1st of July
Bvl and ppr: 15th of July

My mistake
I did upfront medicals on 26th of May. I did not upload or send my medical information sheet until I got the request. I just felt it will be updated. Unfortunately, IOM didn't send my medicals till 6th of June.

My advice always send your medical information sheet immediately you do your medicals to save time.

Documents submitted

When I get home, I don't have my personal laptop here.

Congratulations!

Baba I have a good WAEC RESULT, so I can go ahead to start the process of acquiring a BSC Canadian admission and visa not minding my age? I'm 29 years now. I can't change my past but will endeavour to make things right this time around. Please I need your clear answer on this. Or please Can I talk to you on the phone?

Bros, just go for BSc, draft your SOP well or get someone to do so for you. You’ll just need to explain the gap and why this would be beneficial to you and all that. Every other information on proof of funds and home ties you can get on this same thread.

All the best.

Hi..

I've been following this page for some time and reading through. I applied for a post grad and I saw somewhere in this thread...can't remember the pg now that having a 2.1 and going for a post grad instead of Msc can be seen as a red flag.

Please, has anyone gotten a study permit having a 2.1? Or should I abort mission? I need clarity, biko!

Nah I think it is if you have a Masters and then you want to go for PG that’s a red flag. But if it’s from BSc to PG, many people are doing that here. I spoke to a friend that just landed, he has a BSc and now going for a PG.

I stand to be corrected though.

You can only access FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE in Canada. It works with GeoLocation (GPS) to bring out available rentals

I doubt this. @ websta
FYA https://web.facebook.com/marketplace/toronto/apartments-for-rent/?__cmr=1&_rdc=1&_rdr

Just change the location filter as you see fit. Or type in Google “apartment for rent in xyz, Canada Facebook Marketplace”

I am also jan 7th applicant and my eligibility has began since march also and since then no response yet after sending lots of numerous mails as well…Anytym sha it should sha end in praise��

I've heard people advice to contact offices in Asia or so? Not sure if its China, Tokyo or India - they said those ones respond fast and will forward your query to where it is supposed to be attended to - that's if you haven't reached out to them yet. Hopefully, someone sees this and drops the mail of that office.

johnstan:
Do you mean someone can't decide to switch career and explain the reason for the decision with an sop please?

This Youtuber was able to switch careers though and she read her SOP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5Yf8PwYZ-M

Thefil:
You would have to work it out. I was there for 5 hours. I guess the network was not steady.
One can’t tell what it will be like.

Omooo... thanks

ibaka:
It takes less thank 30mins on a good day

Alright thank you.

timagbo:
It doesn't really take much time, you might not spend up to an hour there

Ok nice thanks

Hello house,

How possible is it to get to the biometrics centre at the time you booked and be done ASAP? It will be difficult to get a lot of time off work because I already did for upfront medicals this week and took excuse for that.

I booked Wednesday next week for 1pm

Hi guys, my application was denied about a month ago solely on the grounds of insufficient funds and financial assets. Before I got denied I ordered my gcms note which just arrived today. Through the help of show young and others that aired their opinions I saw exactly what I did wrong. My dad was my sponsor and the total money in the two bank accounts he presented was about 3 million short of what it needed to be. My mistake was thinking I could use his fixed deposit investment worth over 30 million as POF. I also didn't provide my bank statement I have been told this is not enough to lead to denial but if your application has some loopholes then not having at least some funds in your account raises a red flag for the visa officers.

Sadly I reapplied yesterday but what I did differently even before seeing the gcms notes was I allowed the investment mature and got a statement immediately the funds matured to capture the 30m from the fixed deposit in his bank account together with about 8m he had combined in his two bank accounts before. He also transferred 3.5m to my account which I presented a gift deed, bank statement and receipt to attest that the money was for my living expense for the first year in Canada. I made sure I explained the fixed deposit investment very well how my dad got the money and showed the investment certificates for all the months within the duration of bank statement I sent to the embassy unlike my first application I only submitted the investment certificate of the month before date I submitted.

Please guys let me know what you think.

Hi so I noticed no one has responded but I’m an applicant like you with pretty much the same situation except that it’s my first time applying. From what people said, here’s what I did and if you can still do these, maybe give it a shot:

I drafted a gift deed letter for my Dad which he signed and we notarized. In the letter, he was specific about what the money was for - we put Canadian equivalent everywhere 10k living expenses, 5k for travel ticket, application fees, etc to show he’s fully funding me and stated categorically that he has irrevocable claim to the gift deed he transferred - same for the fixed deposit.

In the sponsorship letter, he stated how long he has been working and how he was able to amass that amount of savings for my education. He also specified that this money was set aside in FD for me and the capital never reduced because of this purpose. (I’m assuming it’s the same in your case).

Then as you’ve done, added investment certificates possibly showing that these funds can be liquidated and made available instantly for you.

And lastly, show his source of income and how he has other sources to fund the family. Attach maybe introduction letter, business documents, etc to this effect.

Hoping we all get a favorable response speedily.
Cheers!

Swagskida:
Good morning house I am new on this thread but have gotten through some people experience via reading on this thread i studied accounting with a CGPA of 3.90 and want to do my master in accounting since am familiar with the course and i dont know which school gives either partial funding/ Fully funded or better still which school has the cheapest tuition fee that i can apply to will be glad if anyone in the house can put me through this process hope to hear from anyone soon

Look at schools that offer thesis based masters, check the department/faculty websites for funding opportunities and check for lecturers whose area of specialization you are interested in then shoot them a mail or go ahead to apply directly to the department but in most cases, it is advisable to get a supervisor to agree to fund/supervise you

Teemenzo:
You have to explain your financial plans in words and numbers in your SOP/LOE while you only upload any documents relating to finances in the POD section.

Thanks. Just fixed that.

Teemenzo:
Your SOP/LOE is your personal story, no limit to the number of pages. You can write half page or more pages, its your story. If you have health insurance running presently, it doesn't harm your application. Canada will know you are very concerned about your well being which could eve come in handy in getting favorable decision but its not a requirement. All the best

Hi,

Do I explain financials in SOP or I should do that in Proof of Funds section?

Thanks

Ketima:
Hello,

Haven't heard of MBS for fixed deposits except the certificate that shows the details of fixed contract. So the certificate will suffix.

Ok makes sense. I'll do this then. The money has been fixed since 2021 but moved to another bank this year cos of interest rate. It'll be a good point to state in the sponsorship letter that the money has been kept in FD for the purpose of my education yeah? Because ever since it has been fixed, only the interest has been withdrawn while the capital has been rolled over for like almost 9 months now.

Ketima:
Hello,

Kindly use MBS (MyBankStatement)

Ok will do thanks. For my sponsor’s funds that’s in fixed deposit, should I just use the certificate alone or we should get MBS for that?

Hello everyone,

My bank statement for 4 months is about 80 pages, how do I handle this please? Should I still go ahead to send it like that or is there a way to shorten it? It’s from GTBank.

ShowYoung:
You should be confident to apply.

Totally missed this. Doing so after my medicals and salaries have dropped next week Monday.

Thanks a lot.

Lekiboboe:
Most time the next day or within that week you did the medical.

Yes it is the same day you did the upfront medicals you will be given the E-medical sheet to send to IRCC offices via webforms and emails

See the link below for more details and further information

Alright thanks a lot. Really appreciate.

Belxsz:
You can. Submit your application. You cam upload medicals when it's ready

quote author=SaniceSanice123 post=114152052]
What’s the meaning of IOM?
August is really too far.
Can’t I submit my application and later upload this medical?

Hi, after doing medicals with IOM Ikeja, is it the same day that they give the document that one would upload to the portal? Or it gets sent to me after a couple of days.

Anyone with an idea about this could share too pls.

Thanks

Foladimejiw:
She mentioned something like POF should not be in form of fixed deposits or fixed assets. The VO prefers cash that is accessible to fund your studies and bulk deposits into such account should be explained with proofs.

Hi,

Is this for NSE or the normal student visa application? I'm planning to submit an application but bulk of my POF is in my Dad's fixed deposit (25M) with his bank and he's been rolling over since February. Should he necessarily liquidate? Because he's liquidating one FD to send me a gift deed of 5M and presenting some other small accounts with liquid cash.

Any inputs from anyone else reading this would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello house,

Is it advisable to put both my parents as sponsors? Although my Dad's account will be the one showing 99% of the funds available for study, including my accounts but they want to include my Mum's account and signatures on the sponsorship letter (they said that they heard some people's applications were rejected because both parents didn't concur to the child's travel or something like that.) By the way, I'm 24, Male, decent job as a Software Engineer.

Also, hope its not a red flag if my Dad isn't a salaried worker? He's a contractor but has like 74k fixed deposit to show for my living expenses and school fees (total $54k) with other bank accounts balance of like 40k excess. Although he has an introduction letter from an oil and gas firm showing expected renumerations and a hostel for rent.

Oremeter:
Hello everyone I appreciate the info I have been getting from this platform. I understand that there's no particular way to do it(Visa application) but I have been trying to list other supporting documents for my study application. So far I know of:
Land documents proof of ties
Transcript
Police Report
POF of course
SOP
Medicals
Letter from sponsor
Please from your experiences gurus which other document do you think is necessary. Please.

Thanks

I stand to be corrected...
NIN
Degree certificate
Picture with sponsor
Letter of employment (if any)
Tuition deposit (if any)
Admission Letter from school
Gift deed (if any)
Office ID card (if any)
Birth Certificate
Any professional certification (if any)

In all, put as many convincing documents as you can.
All the best

ShowYoung:
Without having seen your GCMS notes, I can see the exact reason why your application was refused; although GCMS notes is the best source. This is my thought and may be incorrect.

Required Expenses
Tuition fee for 2 years $22,400.
Living Expenses (2 years) $20,000.
Miscellaneous Expenses $3000.
TOTAL : $45,400. (#15,075,000 @$1/335)

Total Amount shown:
Tuition Deposit $7000. (#2,345,000)
Dad's Account #4,000,000
Dad's Account #5,000,000
TOTAL: #11,345,000.
You may still need approximately #4,000,000 more.

Also, the onus is on you to convince VOs that your Dad has no responsibility on anyone else and that the funds are meant for you.

I strongly believe they wish to approve your visa; in your next application, if you are able to address the concerns raised with the financial analysis above, your visa application will be approved by God's grace.

Hi ShowYoung,

Pls is it a problem if my Dad is recently out of active service? He now consults but doesn't get paid instantly, can take like 6 months ish but he is sending 15k CAD to me and showing like 76k CAD in fixed deposit and maybe like 20k CAD in some other accounts and I also make roughly 2500CAD a month myself. This is after paying compulsory tution deposit of 2k CAD.

This should fly right? With the right bank statements and expanations? My total tution and living expenses is like $54k

Thanks

Balina:
Good day bosses,

Please I need a roadmap to follow for applying for study permit and CAQ. I am confused about the whole process. I have been offered admission by Concordia University and my program start date is 5th of sept. I know the next steps to take to complete my admission are;

1. Pay acceptance fee
2. Send my official transcript to the school
3. Apply for study permit and CAQ

I can get step 1 and 2 done easily, but for step 3, I only know the process for US. I have read through the first page, but it ended up confusing me more.



PLEASE house I need a guide or roadmap on the steps to take in order to apply for study permit and CAQ.

I saved some helpful links here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nf9zMuhZE0gQRlRboHfTfOUQjg85dE_Dyj_PU7Q83S8/edit?usp=sharing

You can checkk them and probably the messages around them. The links in the document all come back to this thread.

Jeff5gold:
I haven’t seen a situation where you will use your parent as sponsor and don’t use their bank statement….someone correct me if I’m wrong.
To be on a safe path, just get up to $30000

Hello @Jeff5gold @Teemenzo @ShowYoung,

From the quoted message, does it mean my sponsor has to definitively transfer all the living expenses and school fees to my account? In my own case, M24, my sponsor is sending 15k CAD to me and showing like 76k CAD in fixed deposit and maybe like 20k CAD in some other accounts and I also make roughly 2500CAD a month myself. This is after paying compulsory tution deposit of 2k CAD.

This should fly right? With the right bank statements and expanations?

Thanks

Omoba95:
6 months

Nice thanks. Congratulations once again.

Omoba95:
Goodday Guys!!
I am the one the Lord has shown mercy on this glorious day

Kindly join me in thanking the King of Kings & Lord of Lords who made today possible despite how I almost lost faith

With Jesus joy, I announce to that I have received my PPR!!!

Second time applicant

God is too faithful to leave us, just trust in him & you won’t regret it.

I join my faith with everyone still expecting & declare we shall all testify of God’s goodness soonest

(Ps: I had the above saved in my notes in faith before even getting PPR)

I also remember posting sometime in May about receiving PPR before the end of the month & nothing happened, little did I know God had other plans

PPR landed June 1st, 2022, however; I didn’t know about it till June 3rd, 2022.



Timeline below ��

First Application;
Applied Nov 22nd, 2021
Upfront Medicals : April 3rd, 2021
Updated to pass: No idea (didn’t have access to my portal)
Eligibility review: No idea (didn’t have access to my portal)
Breakfast of life lol: March 23,2022

Reason for refusal: ‘I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, based on personal assets and financial assets’

I cried my eyes out & almost lost all hope, called my agent to ask for a way forward and if I should stop attending classes & defer the remaining semesters. The thought of the time, energy & money spent made the tears roll out well �

P.s- I had resumed classes online (started January, 2022),it hasn’t been a funny situation especially with the time difference & economy issues but I thank God & I am currently in my second semester in centennial college. It’s a 2years program.


*Back to my timeline gist*
After careful review of my previous application, it was spotted that my Dad’s account(my sponsor) had an explained lump sum of about 13m that entered at once. So we knew where to tackle while waiting for my GCMS notes.

Things I did differently;
Gave a detailed LOE of the lump sum
Printed a new bank statement, this time the opening balance covered the lump sum with more inflow compared to the last statement
I paid my full tuition for the first year
Got a notarized gift of deed of 5m in my personal account
Submitted my first semester Academic transcript
Added a lot of Prayers too (very important)


Second Application:
Submitted April 10, 2022
Eligibility review started: May 11, 2022
PPR: June 1st, 2022

I have also booked for a new Medicals since the previous one has expired to avoid immigration stories/wahala, I was surprised I didn’t get a medical request with my second application.

The feeling has been surreal, patiently waiting for my passport because I don’t even know where to start from, any suggestions will be appreciated. �

Congratulations Chief. How many months bank statement did you use for your Dad’s statement of account?

Teemenzo:
Its called a MyBankStstement. Its a one page certificate with login details. The VO uses it to check if truly the account that was been declared is genuine.

Oh nice thanks a lot! Appreciate.

Teemenzo:
Yes submit the mbs of the account that has the funds available. For the fixed deposit, indicate the maturity period and how fast it can be liquidated too.

Definitely will. Thanks a lot, bless. What’s “mbs” by the way? And how far back should the statement of account be? A year? 6 months? 4 months?

Teemenzo:
Don't let him ytansfer it. Submit his financial details and show him as your sponsor, this takes away the rigour of explainig the guft deed. As those VOs might be nonchalant some times

Oh alright then thanks a lot. I'll do that and add the document that shows the funds can be liquidated as needed if that's ok.
