Hi thanks for the answer,
I mean the statement of purpose letter, not a bank statement

Oh apologies, read that wrongly. It can be as long as you want o. Some people do over 10 pages sef.
But in all you do, make sure you make your statement convincing and address any doubts beforehand.

I'd recommend over a page at least.

Hi again,
How long does a statement of purpose have to be?

IRCC’s minimum is 4 months but people recommend 6 months plus

I asked this question a few days ago and I was ignored but it’s okay
My admission was revoked and I applied to the same school for a different program for may 2023
Should I send my updated admission letter to ircc or not since it’s the same school?
And how can I send the updated admission letter to them because I’m using an agent and he’s saying there’s no need but I want to confirm from you guys here.

You’ll definitely need to send it to them. Via mail and/or webforms. Not sure if this is all you need to do though.

Greetings house. Asking for a neighbor whom wants to apply via the new portal, as i'm only conversant with the gckey.

Please, what should he add in the encircled box in the photo attached?

I’m not sure there’s a “set in stone” way to do this but under Consent Personal Info was where I put my SOP, certificates, credentials, employment letters, and home ties. Everything important to an application asides proof of funds.

Then that additional part is other optional stuff like maybe NYSC, some certifications relevant to current occupation or intended course of study, etc.

I know some of you are happy about the recent announcement of being able to work more than 20 hours a week, but I'm honestly sad about it.

Why not raise minimum wage for international students instead? It's like Canada is exploiting international students instead of helping us. Imagine. Expecting students to study full time, and then work full time for minimum wage? Something is not right.

Canada doesn't have the best interest of students at heart. If they did, they would raise minimum wage instead of allowing us to work more than 20 hours while studying full time.

1. Half bread is better than none
2. Some provinces already increased minimum wage.

@thomsyne

Yea highlight is not altered but highlighting official document like bank statement is not right , You can quote a date of a transaction and description without highlighting hopefully this doesn't ring a wrong bell but next time its not advicable to tamper with official documents

Absolutely had no idea, thanks for the input regardless. Hoping this doesn’t cause any issues.

Yes indeed.
I will recommend sending an updated SOA using LOE, moreso that the fixed deposit lifecycle have elapsed hence, the funds have been liquidated into your account. Leverage this opportunity to do a case reminder to IRCC Nairobi office.

Use the LOE to clarify the situation, remind them on the fixed deposit funds now fully accessible by you, then point them to the need for you have a case status update to enable you progress & finanlise preparation for study resumption. (use the situation to your full benefit.) continually transmit the updated SOA via WEBFORM & EMAIL each to NAIROBI, LAGOS, ABUJA, LONDOND, ACCRA, GHANZHOU once a day twice a week, for three weeks then stop. winks.

good luck meehn.



Ok ok, this makes sense. I'd do just that, thanks!

If your eligibility review has started just let it be but if you want to put your mind at ease you can send it surely it won't even be acknowledged until after a month anyways but it's fine.

True, there may be more validity checks but some agencies recommend highlighting transactions on financial statements.

Even if IRCC were to do forensic analysis, they will see that the highlight is the only difference compared to the original document.

Thanks for your input. I'm leaning towards leaving it as is since I added other supporting documentation, i.e, the investment certificates over the past 1 year.

you see, i may be wrong, but you are not supposed to touch a financial bank statement mostly when you tendering same as evidence. You can quote / reference page, line, etc and give clarification. However, i think using adobe to highlight, comment, or affixt notes in the financial statements invalidates it eligibility. that is walking a super thin line if you ask me. I may be going overboard. But come to think of it, if you can highlight financial statements with adobe app, who says you haven't changed figures there in? The VO may not totally red flag it, but you are causing your submissions to be subjected to more scrutiny and validity checks, which you don't need.

I think that is the reason why MBS are directly transmitted to the embassies. The VOs are trained to review and analyse bank statements, hence simply referencing it in your SOP or LOE is enough to guide them to the transaction you are trying to clarify without altering the financial documents.


Hmmm... you make some points. Is resending an unaltered copy of this document via webform explaining my reason a good idea?
Hope it won't elongate the duration of my application 'cos its already 13 weeks as is.

Highlight is not the same as altered. Altered means changing the figures.

As long as you highlighted without changing anything else, you have nothing to worry about.

Someone has to tell you the #uglytruth.

You see these west worlds, they have a way of establishing requirements in their immigration systems to attract and allow certain type of profile to pass through the channel and come into their country.

You want to fake financial statements, your agent have advised you against it that it is fraud, you are still asking how you can circumvent it! How do you hope to succeed there if by any miracle you pass throuth and arrive there? Scaling the routine needs for survival won't last long like in Nigeria here where systems dont work.

You have to go back, reevaluate your plans. If you dont have at least N5m or your own, and/or cant get someone to commit N10m towards your dream, plus a significant scholarship sponsor, my guy, dont even bother going to submit any application because you will be tarnishing any future hope you had with this action.

You do not meet the basic eligibility requirements, let me put it plain to you. Forget this admission for now, go back and work on your profile, re-plan and find a way to improve your financial standing before your go back to IRCC.

This japa journey of today isn't for the downtrodden of Naija as earlier though. It is actually for those who were able to create opportunities out of the already basterdised system, hence if they move over to where systems works, they will excel super.

My brother, just take a step back and think creatively how you can package yourself to present an eligible profile before making any further atempts.

No prejudice, just felt i should tell you the #uglytruth.

ciao


Hey olokings, cooooooks,

I keep seeing this talk of "altered" bank statements and suddenly I got scared cos I highlighted a FD credit and debit on my father's statement of account to show inflow and outflow of the funds. I didn't alter figures, I simply used Adobe highlighter to color the column in yellow so it can easily be spotted. I couldn't use MBS because it is a Microfinance Bank and they don't have MBS.

Hope this isn't a problem? Also, as at the time I submitted, the funds were fixed, closing balance was low, although with the same bank but would have matured around August 9. I attached the certificates from last year to backup those highlights too.

olokings:
they wouldn't have mentioned it as it wasn't the major strike, however, it impacted your assets & financial standing assessment as an unreasonable expense.

follow up on case study

the key issue was the lack of commitment from sponsor by having the spouse paying your tuition deposit. if applicant had demonstrated that the spouse got the money from your sponsor in the first instance, the application may have been successful. although i think that would have been a very slim chance.

do the following as recommended action for reapplication:
- apply for an Masters (preferably course based. or if you want scholarship, Thesis based will earn you that).
- have your sponsor, whether it is your mother or uncle transfer the money into your account or ... they should pay your 1st year tuition deposit, and transfer your living expense to you.
- if they have lump sums in their account, they should do well to explain their source of funds.
- add your own business and/or personnal account statement and explain your source of funds and any lump sumps deposits with evidence therein.
- rewrite your SOP. reference my earlier post on SOP tactics.



God bless you immensely for this!

Pls house what is diffrence between SOP and LOE

People tout that SOP "Statement of Purpose" is the letter you originally submit explaining your reason to want to study in Canada, why the course, your financials, etc. LOE "Letter of Explanation" on the other hand is an additional letter you add to your application when you are trying to specifically address VO's concerns during a re-application.

I might be wrong but this is what I think the difference is.
