Hello guys, this is my profile

First application - Online
Timeline (submitted online 17th November and biometrics 18th November 2016). Refused 30th march 2017)

Documents attached to lawyer

* Scanned international passports
* Upfront eMedical
* Marriage certificate
* Spouse enrollment letter
* Spouse student visa
* Spouse study permit
* Spouse Canada bank account statement with closing balance of $10,000 CAD
* Sponsor's 2 Nigeria bank account statement with combined closing balance of 12.5m
* Sponsor's business documents
* Use of rep form.

When it was close to submission, our lawyer now said they didn't require bank statements for online application and there was no place to attach it. We weren't comfortable​ with it but didn't want to be arguing with professional since that was why she was employed to give advice. We followed her advice and didn't attach bank statements. It was later I now found out that there was a section on the online application to attach other documents where she should have made use of.

On the refusal letter they ticked personal assets and financial status. Other reason: You did not demonstrate that you and your spouse have sufficient financial resources to support one year of study and your presence in Canada.

I requested the GCMS case note and they wrote
reason for rejection:
Refused for lack of financial sufficiency.

Oh! Sorry, Beneficiary Account: 07378 146-381-9

Beneficiary: University of Saskatchewan
E180
105 Administration PL
Saskatoon
SK S7N 5A2.

Pls confirm from the school treasury site before payment.

God bless you brother. Treasury dept has mailed me the details.

Newman1010:
@wealth350, for Form A transactions, the beneficiary must be the school. You will have to mail the school to get details of the account. I believe you intend to pay your school fees.

Thanks man I got it. My moniker is Wealth360 not 350

Moadejimi:
Do you have relatives or friends in Canada you can trust with your funds? If yea, it's best you use one coz of the ease of transfer to their accounts God forbid the visa approval goind sideways. At least, that's what I did. Just fill the International students form stating the person's required details then print and append your signature, scan and send to the bursary e-mail.
I made the mistake of using my online signature which wasn't approved, so take the earlier explained route.

Thanks man. I have my TRV already resuming this September. I just want to make tuition payment through FORM A. That's y am asking for the process.

Urgent Attention please. For those that have paid tuition fees to University is Saskatchewan through Form A. Please I need to ask what was the beneficiary's details you need to transfer the money? Please is urgent. This question also applies to other that has used form A before. Thanks

Hello friends,
Let me share my good news with you. After a delay in my SOWP application in March 30 to be precise, I reapplied on May 10, 2017 and got notification to pick my passport yesterday evening. I was scared to go because of all the delay reported on this forum over the weekend. Went today anyway and saw that it was approved. I return all the glory to Jesus. Olowogbogboro has turned things around for my good. He can do it for you too if you believe. #ItHasEndedInPraise

Olowogbogboro indeed at work. Congrats dear. Please kindly share your profile ma.

PureRuby:

Congrats madam. In Him we live and have our being. Nothing is too difficult for God....lailai. I am so happy for you.

My profile was online! As for the study gap, I graduated since 2008. Some people say that once u have long gap from school it's an issue i.e not having any academic qualifications on ur record. But it's not true! I had my doubts as a human! But I remembered God is still God and applied!


P.s u don't need an agent! All u need is God, this forum and self-confidence that you can make it true

I understood that you graduated in 2008. But explain to us what were you doing from 2008. Please itemize it. Thanks.

excelrapheal:
Also I don't have any travel experience and I have 8 years study gap! So that tells me it's all about proving urself worthy and believe in ur dreams!

congrats my padi. Make sure you hala me when you get to Saskatoon. Again I want you to explain what you meant by the bolded statement above. Give us your timeline from when you finish secondary school till when you applied so that future applicant will not just see this and neglect the fact that they will need to explain any gap. Kindly share please. Thanks

Thank you sjunad,
Eventually, she was able to recieve another call from the CIC after she called them back and it entered voicemail again. They called to confirm her email. She received an email to proceed for medical test. Now, we face a challenge: the data page of her passport was not attached. What do you advise us to do, bearing in mind that the CIC sent the stamped data page of my passport when they asked me to proceed for medical test when I applied for study permit. She does not have all the required IDs with her right now, the only option we are considering is getting the her IDs scanned to her so that she can print and take them along for the test.

Please, I need your candid advise.

send them a mail again to complain that the stamped copy of the passport required for the medical examination is not attached they will send it to you asap.

Ziggarrr:
Brotherly, i started seeing your posts around the time my trv was approved....i graduated with a 2.1 from a naija university but even after my NYSC, my parents were still giving me money to feed.I was frustrated and confused because i was in my mid-twenties and still can't boast of 100k. Thankfully my trv was approved, i hv been here for some months and i cannot explain to you how far i have come. This place is not easy but its very much worth it....NEVER GIVE UP!

Sir Ziggarrr. Bros where have u been? How is canny treating u sir? Gist us small nah.

Voltie:
Thanks guys.
Before I post my profile. I just want to say that I am convinced there's no one size fits all for visa application. These are all the things I did "wrong"

- I didn't pay my fees
- I didn't add any land documents e.t.c as home tie because I couldn't find, plus I did not understand how my parents properties could serve as a home tie for me.
- I'm a pharmacist going for an MBA at MUN
- I have four younger siblings (parents dependents)
- Did not notarize my letter

In case you are wondering what was in my LOE . I just said I wanted to run a business and since I've seen so many fail, I want first hand knowledge. Also compared Lagos to Newfoundland in terms of start ups. Then I listed the supporting document I was going to attach ( barely a page)

Think that's all. So happy everything worked out because I had doubts.

Major key : I prayed more than I've ever prayed in my life ( okay except my final year in Uni)

Congrats. With the above profile,# God at work#youcantpredict this VO's

maplez:
I really pray everyone waiting for monday get approvals IJN. My husband applied 17th May and I was finally able to link his app online just last week. I got his refusal letter today dated yesterday and they had ticked employement prospect in country of residence, travel history (he had studied in UK and visited Italy once, so i'm not sure if they need him to visit the moon before they are satisfied with travel history) and they ticked he did not meet exemption for C41(I am on Postgrad openwork permit and working fulltime in a skilled job. We attached my employment contract stating my job duties, hours per week, salary and NOC code and also attached my payslip, so I don't know their problem).

He did not do medicals because he just got back from UK in May and they said he doesn't neked one. This is the third refusal for OWP, the other two my husband applied while in Uk, in the notes they had stated his immigration status in UK, that he was on study permit bla bla bla which was why we decided he return to Nigeria to apply for it and now they came up with another story.....End of Rant

Anyway on the positive side, we got ITA for express entry last week, I had already filled out the forms and waiting to attach proof of medicals, my husband had called the medical centers in Lagos and they said they collect only passport as proof of ID, so good thing we got the decision yesterday so he can get his passport and go for the medicals and we can face express entry. IT IS WELL. Sorry for the long story

Thanks and very insightful. You are already on PGWP, why will Oga apply for another work permit? From my knowledge ma. Both of you can't be working together except for the fact that now you have gotten an ITA which is a better option. May I ask how long have you been working? He would have applied since when you were still a student. Again hope his working and hope he submitted documents to show that also.

Markab:
Hi,

1. I don't understand why you applied for change in Name even though its not mendatory at all. Anyway, as long as you dont have changed name mentioned anywhere on docs, you dont need to declare it proactively, neither you need to change it in passport right now and apply for new passport.

2. Regardless of age, you need a travel document/passport even for one day old child. So definitely you will need passport for your baby.

3 yes, you will apply for a visitors visa (more than six months) for your daughter separately. That visitors, when accompanied with a valid student visa/work visa of parents can let her attend any eligible school for free of cost.

You wont need any study permit to get her education till she is 12.

4. Passport and birth certificate is fine, dont need any additional doc

Thanks Markab

jnyuwa02:
Wasn't wealth 360 sponsored by his dad or relative and had to show land and property, including wife and children? Or was it the CanadianNurse? Lol. I agree with you though, it's matters how you present your application. But in Nigeria, parents and siblings are almost always never enough to VOs as home ties. Nigerians are required to show more. Knowing this would help.

Guy we are talking about applicant home tie. Bobo not sponsor. The only home tie I used was my wife and daughter with my families. No land, didn't add my car papers whatever. I even submit a letter that am resigning from my job.

maziude:
Boss,

You just missed the entire point of my statement.

What would you have those that done have other home ties except their family do? Manufacture them so as to get refused for misrepresentation?

If you read up from previous threads, you will see many applicants that applied in Nigeria that were approved with just parents and siblings as home ties.

If we are to use your analogy of apples and oranges, those that applied outside nigeria are like 7 apples found in a farm of oranges. Are you telling me that oranges refused to get ripe because they have just parents and siblings.

Every application is treated within its own rights. Use what you have and let God handle the rest.

babaJ need to learn a lots. Let me mention few guys I know that only use family as home tie. @wealth360, Chonewillie, and two other guys I know very well that are not on this thread. Families are primary home ties. It depends on how you package your app.

Despite the fact that this thread is dry, I trust informations coming from experience present and past applicants. My questions goes like this:
1. My wife has done her change of names and newspaper publication that every other documents that carries her previous names remain valid as one person. But we have not done any change on her passport because her present passport expires in 2020. Can she apply with the passport like that?.

2. My daughter will be 1year 3months at the time of application, does she require a passport too at that age?

3. Concerning the above no 2 question, will my wife apply for TRV for our daughter separately?
4. If the above no3 question is YES, are we going to back it up with any document apart from her birth certificate?

Thanks awaiting positive responses.

CC: Sevenody, BE811APP, VEIL1234, Markab and other gurus. Please I need answers

AKUPSME:
Why is Uni. Saskatchewan taking time to access my pre- qualification form,or is it because I didn't take an English test.MSc Electrical and Computer Engineering applied for January 2018.
I need advice

A friend just woke me up with a testimony that he contacted a supervisor that he is willing to fund himself. And the supervisor agreed to supervise him. He filled the pre qualification form 2days ago and and this morning he was sent a mail to go and officially apply. I guessed even when you are not ask to contact supervisor maybe one need to do that just to fast track admission process.

iamharkinwaley:
Hy wealth

Stumbled on this thread tonight reading testimonies and what d thread is about tho I only understand a bit of all I read here....

Am very much interested, pls can u kindly throw more light on this?

Thanks...

Hy too what I can say is that this thread is for students who aspires to study in Canada and how they can get help through past applicants experiences on approval and denials then they build up their own applications before applying for study visa. You can also get help for admission here tru peoples experiences to gather your own info for applying. Read up from page 0 and get more insight. Welcome on board.
