Thank you, bro.

What is the usual time frame for their response with the GCMS note after submittinga request?

Average of 30 days

Lekiboboe:
A diploma is a wrong Academic Progression for a Bachelor's degree holder. A Visa Officer officer will most likely frown at that, cos he will assume you just want to JAPA (Wrong Purpose of Visit to Canada). Since you have a 2.1, A Visa Officer will expect you to go for a Masters degree in a related field (Academic Progression).

Though some members on this platform have said that if such applicant can give cogent reasons on his/her SOP why he/she wants to go for a Diploma (as a Bachelor's degree holder) instead of a Masters, then that person's study visa application might be approved.


I would suggest you await the response of the gurus on that, or some based on experience response from Bachelor's degree holder who used diploma admission to get their Study Visa Approved to Canada before making a move.

Just as you said. The SOP is the key.
I had a 2.1 and still went for a diploma. So nothing spoil.

Themmzyadewale:
Good morning guys, please I just went for passport collection, and I am to leave Nigeria ending of August because my school is resuming September 4, but the problem now is my agent has refused to give me my login to my ircc portal. But I have the school login. And all the documents received like my LOI, and others. I wanted to ask if I will need that gc key login for anything ? Or should I just leave him to his fate

You might need it but just leave it for him. You can always open a new GCkey acct and use your UCI number. All these agents. He wants you to always run back to him if you have any need to either apply for study permit extension or anything

StanOyiga72:
Thank you so much. I'll use this method. Seems you're not certain if it's for free though.

It's completely free. Alot of ppl have used.

StanOyiga72:

MayorJoshofNewY:
Hello Zubi,

Done. I'm awaiting your response. Many thanks.

Responded to your mail.

MayorJoshofNewY:
Hello bro,

Can I email you (for the SOP review)?

Yes. Send mail

MayorJoshofNewY:
GUYS, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We got Generic Refusal Letter today shortly after BVL. This is the quoted reason

"• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by paragraph R216(1)(b) of the IRPR (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/section-216.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will leave Canada, based on the following factors:
• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable)."

Total funds needed for the TWO years MSc is 60,000 CAD equivalent to about 35Million at exchange rate of 580 Naira to 1 CAD.

We used spouse's Account with Opening Balance of 8M and closing of 16.5M and an Investment Certificate of 20M and Accompanying Reference letter to IRCC.

From the officer's response, what can we do better as we intend to RE-APPLY almost immediately.

Your sop probably failed to do justice.

Iceboyblog:
Guys will 40,million be okay for POF for a 4 years course with these high dollar rate
Tutution fee for one year is 16,416 cad

Depends on how you explain in your sop how you plan to pay the subsequent cost annually. 40m will certainly not be enough to cover 4 years

Tassie:
Can I also include alongside this some documents I feel I should have submitted earlier or is it frowned upon.

You can give it a trial and squeeze it in,inside your LOE

MumiOlivia:
. Alright, so it better he change DLI once he gets to Canada.

Yes. To save time and possibly some cost. But he must definitely enroll at can college as a student before he can change dli

portablesuzy:
GOOD DAY HOUSE AM STILL WAITING FOR MY GCMS NOTES ITS BIN OVER ONE MONTH. WHAT CAN I DO PLS. I USED THE FREE ONLINE ATIP ROUTE.

Be patient for extra 1 week. Everything seems to be slow.

MumiOlivia:
Yes, and ot works. If at all you don't want to change immediately, after one year of study in that school, you can also go to another college and study for additional one year. Making it 2years. This can make yoi eligible for 3years PGWP.

I don't think they will consider the 1 year spent in can college. He would get a 1 year pgwp as only the second school offering programs eligible for pgwp will be taken into consideration.

Mikkosh11:
Good morning, please I want to confirm if I can still meet up with my pof , they just gave me admission into Fleming college Toronto in Canada for January intake

What do you mean by meeting up with your proof of funds

Lemziy:
Good morning everyone,

For a two-year course, do I need to sure the tuition for the 2 years or just 1 year is fine + 1 year living expenses?

This use to be applicable before but now, everyone is trying to play safe to avoid refusals. You can take the risk but be sure to do a convincing sop on how the second year cost will be comfortably covered. Goodluck

Holywizard:
how you seen someone that has gone through this part before?

Yes. And that's actually seem to be your best and only option seeing as you said your sponsor might be discouraged if you try to change dli now.

Tassie:
I was given a new offer letter with the additional funding.

Write a letter of explanation and also attach correspondence showing the letter just arrived. In your LOE, explain how the added funding will be disbursed

OkoyeAka:
Good evening everyone, does people going to conestoga college or if you have paid tuition how did you pay without using flywire, their rate is too high pls any suggestion, Thanks asking for a friend, although it will also help me because I didn't pay any tuition fee to University of Calgary since it was unconditional admission.

Pls what is their rate for today??

OneLocalMan:
Hello Gurus in the house,

I need your help,

For a company I work with, although part of the management.


Is it better for the company to offer me Gift Deeds that will cover all my tuition fee and expenses.

Or

Is it better the company offer me sponsorship.

My goal is for the company not to present their bank statement as this will cause unnecessary explanation.

When gift of deed is presented, is there a need for bank statements from the gifter ?

What is the best route when a company you work with wants to help with your study permit.


Sponsorship or Gift deed.

Either case, it's going to be difficult to receive a significant amount of money from a company without them attaching their statement of acct. So better find a way to explain whatever unnecessary explanations you will need.

Besides, best is they give you a sponsorship covering your tuition while your personal savings expected to cover your living expenses and miscellaneous cost. Then you attach all supporting docs from your company

Tassie:
What can I do, I received additional funding from my school after my study permit application has been submitted.

Use webform. If I may ask, what additional docs

Kamsydalu:
I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the tuition fees for the course or program of studies that you intend to pursue.
After the agent stated alot of financial resources but they created new account with my details for prove of fund
paid 500cad for acceptance

It's not about using agents to create so called funds, it's proving you legitimately made thise funds and they are indeed available for the stated purpose

Themmzyadewale:
Do I have to get to manitoba first? Or I can do all this from Toronto?

If you have to compete your registration in the school physically, then you must go to the school. I will advise you go and be on ground and ask questions formally as well.

Themmzyadewale:
Good morning everyone,please I have a question. The school I got my admission is in mantoba, and I am to resume September 6. But the problem is I have family in Toronto and I feel i I be more comfortable there since I am going alone with my son. Please who has an idea on what to do to change school to one in ontairo, and how will I let the embassy know I am changing schools

This question has been answered severally here.
Enter Canada. Make sure you do. You must enroll first with your school in Manitoba. Then go to ircc website and switch dli. Some of the things you will need to upload include; LOA, enrolment letter, etc for school in Manitoba and LOA of school in Ontario.

WitchKing:
Idiots like you , the strong reason i sounded the way I sounded. I asked a simple question, everyone is saying go to part 22. I am not waiting for an imp like you. Stupid fellow.

Omo your case is stronger than I thought. Just wow.

WitchKing:
I am sorry you see it wrong, At the same time, there are so many trolls on here who will come and start misbehaving and ranting, hence the way i talked, if you know what I mean. You ask a question, rather than give a reasonable response, the ones you would get rather than help, would give youa tommy ache.
I just need someone who has sound knowledge of things like this. If you do, Please give a hand.

To be sincere you don't seem serious to get help here. As someone said earlier, go through this thread or the part 22 and you would see all you are asking for. Goodluck

donpata:
Thanks for your reply. Besides using myself, I could get my mum and sister to claim they will support me through the remaining period of study. I guess that should suffice. Thanks

Yes as long as you provide details with evidence on how they will make their money

donpata:
Most explanations I see only consider Masters of two years. A PhD is four years. Pls I got this questions;

1. For a PHd without funding, is showing two years tuition and one year living expenses sufficient?

2. Is the fact that my wife and 3kids are remaining in Nigeria and a study leave with pay from my employer enough to proof home ties?

3. After two yrs of study, can my wife join me and still get open work permit?

4. If my salary is less than 200k, must I explain the source of over 12mill in opening balance. (No any lumpsum within the 4months bank statement)

1. This would have been fine if you aren't a self sponsor. Do you have a sponsor? If yes then you can show this and explain with evidence in details how your sponsor will cover up the remaining subsequent cost.

2. This is good already. You could still add some

3. Yes. You don't have to wait till 2 years

4. If your opening balance is healthy and close to your closing balance, you could just give a summary of how you made the money and saved over the years.

Lemziy:
Goodday All,

I have some questions to ask concerning the visa application for study permit and I'll appreciate if the gurus here can respond.

1. Can my husband be my sponsor and also apply for the SOWP while I apply for the study permit?

2. If I receive a cash gift from a parent, what documents do I attach to the application to proof the money was a gift

3. As proof of home ties, can I use landed properties and cars stated in my husband's name?

4. Does my husband (who my sponsor) have to explain lumpsum inflow stated on his 4 months SOA

1. Yes

2. If the money is significantly huge then you have to add a gift deed, your birth certificate, documents to show his source of income, SOA, his ID,

3. You will need stronger home and economic ties than that

4. Yes
