Hello Aissy

As we all know a Police report certificate is only valid for 3 months, which means you will have to apply for another one to re-apply for your study permit application...

And at the same time, we have seen many applicants getting their PPR without submitting a Police certificate, this applies to applicants that have applied for study permit 3 - 4 times that had submitted police report in their previous applications...

Also I have worked with applicants who have re-applied for their study permit the 3rd - 4th time and got their PPR without submitting a Police certificate... So its possible you get approved if you re-apply without submitting a police certificate..

PEACE

Thank you Viviangogos
Your friend had a connecting flight to Calgary? How long layover she had in Toronto?

Hello everyone and gurus in the house. I’m a first time poster but I’ve really gained massive information on this forum.
I applied for study permit since 11th April and I’m yet to get a response not even any update so I contacted an MP and she responded after 10 days that they are presently reviewing my eligibility but it didn’t reflect on my GCkey account. In the process of waiting, my medicals expired and I’ve been fortunate to get a new medical exam done and I’ve also updated IRCC via webform. It was after I updated them that I saw an update on my account for the first time after over 4 months that “we are reviewing your medical results”. My school is resuming on 7th and also to withdraw and get full refund of my tuition. If my PPR doesn’t drop before 7th September and I withdraw, if I then receive PPR afterwards, what will be my fate? As their new intake will be September 2022, which is too much wait time for me. Can I get another admission from another DLI for maybe winter 2022 with the same approval. I’ll gladly appreciate your advice.

honorableron:
Dem no gree
Oyinbo no get emotions

So how long is the stamp validity
People that have gone cos me I have zeroed my mind that I am fine for next summer

Trust me flight fee and other factors are not favorable so the wait is better for me

Gottigoodgood:


Please could someone clarify this for me? I applied for a school in Newfoundland but want to stop by some friends in Ontario when I land in Canada. Will the immigration officer at the port entry allow this?

Eilenora:
I would assume so actually; but lets allow others provide input as well

Even though your final decision is contradicting your GCMS notes, If truly this is the reason for your refusal, then you should get your Visa in your next application, provided you go about it convincingly..

Peace

Omo....PPR just dropped for me this morning ooo.
Ahh God!!!! I don't know how to feel but I am just so so so happy that I've cried, screamed...I don't know.
Omo... please despite the refusals I'm seeing this morning, use my own and have hope abeg. God is still God and he makes the unqualified qualified.
I'll still come back with my full time line and all. God is faithful!!!!...
Ahhh I'm still screaming o.

mankind5050:
It's a shame that your application was rejected even after a positive Pre-Assessment

Winner0718:


Wait oh. Are you saying these GCMS note i am seeing the application was refused

fairlytreated:



In my opinion this denial look harsh! They are human and make so much error sometimes. Have you requested another note to see the senior VO's concern? You will surely get it. The delay is just unacceptable.

fairlytreated:




You can imagine such obvious error from IRCC. These guys make too many errors and its so unacceptable. You will surely get approval with your profile.... It's just the little delay.

The same thing happened to me when I requested for the renewal of Travel Exemption Letter for my children because theirs expired since it wasn't used within the 3 months validity period. The guy that handled the request said the application with my UCI number wasn't approved so I was not eligible to request Travel Exemption Letter for my children. And I attached everything o - I mean my student visa, their visitor visas and the expired exemption letters.

In fact my other letter quoting the refusal reason was filled with anger questioning IRCC standard. I got their responds after 16 days with the new Travel Exemption Letter. These guys make too many errors.

Just stay positive and shoot again.

MUN19:
Good afternoon guys, pls a quick one. Who knows the rejection email caption or heading pls I cannot recall what the heading is again.

Help me it’s urgent...

Personal Assets & Financial Status

My first preassessment notes were vague, in fact i still don't understand it till today as attached.

I did a lot of things differently despite that in this second application:

I paid 28k out of 33k of my tuition through my mum, she gave me 7m which i immediately used to pay 20k cad (in my first application i paid only 7k)
I showed 10.3m in bank account (MBS) (my sponsor gave me 6m since last year Nov and still standing in my account, balance of 4m was my savings) (funds were still intact)
i had mutual funds of 1.4m (since first application)
I had 2.4m in pension ( got a letter from PFA 25% is immediately accessible) also since my first application
i attached gift deeds for both my uncle and the new funds my mum gave me
My uncle showed over 18m in his bank plus introduction letter showing his net worth
My mum attached a retirement letter and stated that she had funds from her 32 years of working, she also had a balance of 4m left to show she will be fine
I included study leave and evidence I got a promotion last year and commendation for stepping in an acting position as MD.
My husbands business docs, showed also 2.3m in his account, he had 2m as fixed deposit (same with first application)
I attached his land docs and added the survey in the second application
i bought shares almost 500K to establish assets (new)

I have ordered for my first and second notes, maybe I should have ordered final notes from my first application because i used preassessment notes while my application was still in progress to apply.

I am numb, I am sad, I feel like all my efforts were in vain.

I had ordered my notes last month to see what was happening and they are only due tomorrow, i guess they dished out the refusal today so i wouldnt have time to ammend.

Hello All,
I have been a silent reader of this thread for months now; reading and learning from everyone here. It would be amiss if I don’t share my timeline with the house now that the journey has come to fruition:

First Application Timeline
Application: Sept 1, 2020
Refusal: Sept 15, 2020
Biometrics: Sept 16, 2020
Refusal Reason: Purpose of Visit and Personal Finances/Assets

After the refusal, I decided against ordering my GCMS notes because I felt that I could recognize where I made mistakes and where I could improve upon them. I read GCMS notes of profiles similar to mine and learned from there and proceeded to craft my next application within 15 days. I also chose to continue with my online studies as I had already started on Sept 8th, 2020.

Second Application Timeline
Application Date: Oct 1, 2020
NSE Request: Nov 18, 2020
NSE Requirements Submission: Dec 15, 2020
Medical Request (MER): Dec 15, 2020
Medicals: Dec 29, 2020, at IOM Ikeja
MER Passed: Jan 3, 2021
BVL and PPR: Jan 5, 2021 (Final Decision updated to Approved also)

For the NSE, I felt I would not adequately prepare for the IELTS to the best of my ability and chose to only submit the myBankcertificate instead. I planned to write the IELTS Exams in January 2021 and send the results via webform. I only submitted the myBank certificates just as @Popoolam did.

Application Documents:
1. All IMM Forms
2. Conditional LOA and subsequent confirmation mails by the school that I had met the requirements.
3. Letter of Explanation for my application detailing all I had done to address the refusal reasons from the previous application.
4. SOP of 7 Pages with different subheadings. My SOP had a well-detailed study plan showing how my BSc in Geology and work experience had prepared me for the course and Its potential benefits to me personally and Nigeria. I devoted other sections to why I chose the school, the city, and the province, and finally Canada. A section was devoted to Home ties which were majorly social and family ties and a section was devoted to explaining my study gap (I graduated in 2017).
5. All Academic Credentials (BSc Certificate and Transcript, WAEC Result, and a certification from the Technical University of Denmark relating to my proposed MSc course).
6. NYSC Discharge Certificate
7. Internship Contract and Full-Time Employment Contract for my current place of employment
8. Confirmation of Employment Letter from the office.
9. Birth Certificates of my mother and brother
10. Police Character Certificate
11. Resume/CV with a section devoted to my academic publications.
12. Letter of Support from my Research Supervisor to the Graduate Admissions Committee of the University recommending my admission (this also included a paragraph stating how my current job has prepared me for the course).
13. Family tree showing the relationship between my sponsor and I (he is the younger brother of my mother) along with family photos with both of us.
14. Evidence of financial support from my sponsor over the last 7 years (all bank credit alerts via email).
15. Pension Statement, Enrollment Letter and a funding letter I received mid-semester were submitted via web forms after I had submitted my application.

Financials
1. Letter of Financial Support from my Sponsor (my uncle) with 3 pages detailing why he was supporting my education.
2. Affidavit of Sponsorship
3. Data page of his passport
4. Tuition Payment Receipt from the school and Western Union ($3556 CAD)
5. Two Personal SOA with 4M and 6M as their balance, and one SOA of a company account (along with a bank reference/sole signatory letter) with a balance of 25M (all from my sponsor, I did not submit my own SOA or any payslip).
6. Company Documents (CAC Certificates and TCC).

NSE Documents:
1. Two myBank certificates of two company accounts
2. Bank Reference Letters for the two accounts.
3. Company Documents
4. Contract Award Letters from 2019 and 2020

Personal Profile: Male, 24 years this year, a graduate of Geology (4.0/5.00 GPA from the University of Benin).

I encourage everyone to do as much research as they can and read the previous threads as every information I used for my second application was found here. Please also pray and have faith. I sent only one of the NSE requirements while I saw others dash to write the IELTS exams with the faith that it would work out for my good. I thank all the gurus in the house for their wise words – I learned from every post on this thread and previous ones.

Praise be to God Almighty.
As the common saying here goes, delay is not denial. I wish you all the best.

TheGuyFromHR:


I'm not a petroleum engineer and this is just an aside, but I hear that decommissioning is in demand now in your industry and an environmental course with a focus in that area could sell you better.

H0tbabe:
Hi guys, hope you guys didn't miss me much well, to prospective UK students, be careful with ur choice of course, not all that glitters is gold here oh, don't go with just whats written on school page about a course, if possible connect with a present student and no if the course would meet ur expectations, I'm writing this because I'm having regrets already, doing msc environmental management and I'm already wishing I did more active/practical course. Its not entirely a bad course, just that I imagined something different in my head, just be careful, thats my advice, u guys stay safe, cheers!
