Bentricks:
what if your visa is approved without paying the whole first year tuition fee. will you have a problem at the point of entry?

.

No. At POE, just present receipt of tuition deposit you have paid. Then hold evidence of your funds in your acct just incase you are asked to show it. It's at the discretion of the Immigration officer.

Please paying 1 semester tuition fees for a 2 years masters program is it enough for someone traveling with a family of 4?
POF is not a problem but hubby said he just want to pay 10k CAD out of about 19k total 1 year tuition. MSc is 2 years and he intend submitting for all of us. Please help

Since you said POF is indeed available then I will advise you pay 1 full year. This will go a long way to demonstrate full availability of your funds especially as you plan to go with the whole family. Also don't forget to show proper documents for source of the funds

febishola20:

Yes. That's not a problem. Add the documents you have.

Hello please I need suggestions.

I got admitted to study Mobile application dev at University of Winnipeg. I have gotten my PAL, and I did made my first attempt for study permit on 1st May, did biometrics on 15may and rejection came on 28th May. Note I haven't done medicals.


. I have determined that your application does not meet
the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) (https://laws-
lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-2.5/index.html) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations
(IRPR) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/index.html). I am refusing
your application.
• 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).
• You do not have significant family ties outside Canada.


My personal info
Am currently self -funding myself,
My school tuition fee is 22,450 CAD, and I have already made a deposit of 6900 CAD. I have also an accumulation of 29000 USD savings which was gotten through years of saving doing freelance works. This was attached with receipt and inflows of account. Thou I did deposited large sum recently which I explained as I did liquidate most of my stocks on bamboo. I also attached evidence and receipts to show that

My concern mostly was the course of study. I had a bachelor's degree in education and English studies. But with work of experience in mobile dev I got admitted which I was much excited about. In my rejection slip the VO didnt mention about my choice of study. Rather he mentioned. Home ties and insfuccient funds.

Things I did note was that currently am unemployed and work so come seasonal not frequently. So maybe was a red flag from the V.O and I didn't elaborated more on my family background.

So am currently trying to reapply next first week next month as my program is starting ending of August.

I have already requested for GMSC notes. But I heard it takes like a month to get it.

So am trying to use my eldest brother who's currently working for a company and has a good financial ground . My dad is late and mum is a retired Public servant. I have 3 siblings.
I also want to attach an employment slip from a company in Nigeria that would employ me on my return to Nigeria. I just don't know if there's anything am not getting right. Or should I just wait for my gms notes.

Someone said is also good thing to pay up all the tuition fees and have a co sponsor + 20,609 CAD and other expenses in your account

Trying to predict what your GCMS notes will say, it will likely say you are not financially established in your country due to know economic ties bringing you back to Nigeria. You don't own a registered business neither are you employed.

In your reapplication, If you try to submit employment letter from a company, be ready to add statement of acct reflecting amount on pay slips. Not sure attaching an employment letter stating you will resume work after a year. Doesn't make sense.
You have to use your sop to make it look you have something currently doing physically and not just offline freelance stuff. Also build your future plans on what you are currently doing physically offline.
Also looks like you don't have excess funds as a self sponsor. So if you inject more funds, I advise you spend out of it to demonstrate availability of those funds. Goodluck

Purpleivy:
Hello, please can you explain this better I don’t seem to get it.

Secondly, please my cousin’s agent is telling her no need to add her car documents to her application, that it’s not necessary. According to him, car isn’t an asset! Pls advise

I agree with him. It's inconsequential in determining the fate of an application

igmentality:
Please. im doing a 4 year undergraduate program and my agent is saying that i need to show proof of funds for 4 years. That kind of money is not feasible.. i have enough for the first 2 years. please should i disregard what the agent is saying and go on with what i have ..

2 years should be fine as long as you can convince the VO of the availability and accessibility of those funds and uts source. The VO will take his decisions using these factors as he will determine if the next 2 years of funds will be readily made available.

Haywhy433:
Goodday good people
I have a friend in Canada that wants to attend a Private College due to the expensive fees of the public colleges. The private college officials told her she’d do ‘flag pole’ (If I heard that well), that she would be able to get a post graduate work permit this way after study.
My friend is not sure about what the Private college officials said, and concerned about her chances of getting a PGWP after completion of the study.
Please help with clarification good people.

She should ignore them. You can only successfully flagpole if the school is offering programs eligible for PGWP. Since they aren't, then they will be turned back at the border.

Godsdaughterfr:
Hey everyone. So I'm currently trying to apply to canada with a student visa but I've been hearing they are rejecting people due to overpopulation so my hearts been a bit unsettled cuz I rlly don't want to skl In nigeria. My older sister is already in canada so I rlly want to see her. I got accepted to two schools but I'm going to nigara college and I applied for these schools using my waec result and got accepted in maybe 2 or one week. It was miracle but now I'm struggling due to nigerias weak exchange rate to pay fees because apparently canada asked fees to be paid in full instead of half ..is this true?
Also let's say I pay fees by May 10 and by God's grace and send in the whole application to be processed. Would I be able to get student visa before September and my mom is planning to apply for visitors visa. Would she be able to get and mind you she's been rejected before because she wanted to carry a dependent (my youngest sister)when my sister was travelling at first.
I hope to hear back from someone willing to answer me . Thank you!!!!!

You have asked questions no one can answer. Your application been approved or rejected is if you meet all necessary eligibility

victorygiven:
Hi guys, pls is police character compulsory for sudent visa application?

No. Don't do it.

Daaaz0409:
I’d like to ask please, is there physical interview for student visa or it’s just info submitted during a application that’s used

No physical or phone interview.

Wonder1844:
Good morning all.
My 1st tuition fee is 21000+.
Please I want to know if it's possible to pay like 15000+ have the others funds in the account before applying for visa?

Yes it is as long as your LOA didn't state you should pay a particular amount that's more than the 15k cad

ColdHunter:
Good day Chief,

Please will a POF of 30m be sufficient for me and my husband. Kindly consider that I have a scholarship worth 8k CAD which takes care of my first year tuition.

Thanks in anticipation

30million at best is 30,600 using today's rate.

Living expenses for you and your hubby is 25,691. 5k to cover for Miscellaneous expenses. That's the 30k exhausted.
So the 30million will not be sufficient. If you have external sponsor apart from you and your hubby then 35million in total shud be fine. If not, target 40million. Mind you all estimations were done using today's rate

harmonyedu:
Hi,
My own case is below, kindly advise.
I am going for a 2 Year Diploma in Early Childhood Education at Lakeland College Alberta.

My spouse & I have a Company and we have all the company documents and Tax Clearance,and I & my spouse are authorised signatory to the company account and also got a bank Reference for that.

Questions

1) He transferred £35,000 to me from our company account for my POF and also paid the full $18,000 CAD tuition fee from thr company account.
We have proof for all our sources of income.

2) I intend to go with my 2 kids (3 & 1 year old) and my husband will apply for a visit visa to escort us as he needs to come back to continue the family business.


3) I am also submitting our company,spouse statement of account, that have £17,000, £12,000 and my own £36,548, $2,500 USD, #4.5m,#2.2m and #400k

Noted: I have a UK travel history, I want to the UK January this year

Kindly advise what we need to include and our chances ?

All Source of income, our house and 4 landed properties in Port Harcourt worth over 300m is also included.

You already said you have all the proof for the source of the money so I belive you are fine already. As long as your sop is tight covering all areas then you are good to go.

NicoleThelma:
Hello good morning. Please I have some questions to ask.
1. My sponsor said he has enough proof of funds but they’re not in his bank account; they’re in forms of treasury bills, shares and Federal government bonds, and even his pension. How do I prove with this? Can I just use these documents as proof of funds?

2. Also, I’m applying for a 1 year graduate certificate course. Is there any luck of me being able to be eligible for PR during my stay there?

Will greatly appreciate if I could get enough responses this, thank you!

If these were your own money in those system then you could have a chance depending on the visa officer. However, since it's in your sponsor acct, I doubt this will fly. Your sponsor doesn't even have guaranteed unhindered access to the funds let alone you the applicant

2. Getting PR is not really by luck, you have to be intentional about it with proper planning all depends on the program you are going for and the pathway you want to follow. Luck can only fall in place if probably maybe a new policy is made that favors you at that time

Showpizzle:
please how can one show relationship with sponsor

You didn't state who your sponsor is to you.
If it's sibling, birth certificates of both of you, then your parents NIN if possible, then pictures of both of you together, evidence of communication between both of you when she showed concern to your welfare, evidence of previous commitments to your welfare, could be transfer receipts, bank statements highlighting when he/she previously supported you financially etc. But you must establish the link btw both of you.
If it's spouse, marriage certificate.
If it's your inlaw, you show birth certificate between you and that your sibling then the marriage certificate with your sibling and his or her partner.
If it's material uncle, you show your mum birth certificate and your uncle birth certificate to show they are siblings. Possibly do change of name affidavit for your mum to show her median name share same name with your uncle etc.
In all of this, you have to convince why such sponsor must part away with millions of naira to sponsor your education no matter how financially capable they are.

Hope this has been helpful

Ajoself:
I am applying for Canada student visa but was denied US visa. Can I keep it to myself? Or can they detect?

There is absolutely nothing to be worried about previous denial. Declaring it doesn't affect fate of your Canada application except you committed a crime there which will be found out anyway whether you declared it or not. So best you declare it especially on that immigration form. Be silent about it in your SOP

Devasia:
Good day boss,

Please can you help me to clarify this.
I want to submit my visa application soon.
My sister had earlier paid in 30million into my account in lump on Nov last year. So I intend printing my statement of account reading from December.
My question is do I still have to explain the lump sum even though it won't show in my statement considering that I will print from Dec which is one month after the fund was transferred.

Also, to use as home ties, I intend to finalise my marriage plans with my girlfriend by next month and getting Certificate of marriage from our customary Court. Is this advisable and can it be used?
Also she is currently a month pregnant, can I aswell state this in my SOP and do I need to provide the documentation to back up the pregnancy?

Thanks


Please can someone help me with this

Having a heavy opening balance without proper explanation of how you got to accumulate the funds will not fly for most VO. I have seen significant number of gcms notes noting that. .
So it's important you print the statement to show when the 30million came in and explain the source of the funds with proper documentations. The most important thing is convincing them your sponsor is capable to gift you such money and the money was genuinely your sponsor's own and show relationship btw you and your sponsor.
So all supporting docs from your sponsor including her bank statement must be submitted.

Yes you can add your marriage certificate. Also add well documented gallery of pics telling them that despite being recently married, you and your spouse have been together for quite a while. If you can label the pics with the year each was taken and the event it was taken, that will be perfect.

Since she is staying back, you can state it that she is pregnant, will be staying back under the Care of say your mum while you are away studying and you can't wait to return home to Nigeria to your young family after your study in Canada. Goodluck

mbapelvis:
Guys I need your advice. I'm 43 and really want to travel to Canada. So because of limited funds I met an agent today and he told me study route is best for me despite my age. And that he would apply for a loan with mpower and I would reimburse under 15 years. Infact he showed me proof that he has gotten $27k for other clients. That I would switch to masters in business administration. I have bachelor's and one year masters in law and political science. That for housing he will organize it for me in Canada and so on. Please is this possible? Has anyone passed through this?

You see that housing part, sweet lamba. It's very possible other stuffs he stated are lamba too.

Zino89:
My application is 9 weeks can I send web form?

Yes

Thcounsellor:
Thank you real much for this response, little do I know about the bolt and nut of the process, but with your response here; the fact that it is the immigration that sent this email, does it mean, if it were the case of the tuition stipulated date has elapsed, does it mean paying the tuition fee guaranty a visa approval

Most cases, when they ask for these additional documents and u send documents that satisfies them, it usually ends in approval.

Thcounsellor:
Hello Everyone, can anyone please help with the authenticity of this Canada new policy of student paying first year tuition before they proceed to issue student visa.

Is your LOA saying that your tuition should have been paid at a particular date as deadline and that date has elapsed? They could request for your tuition receipt in such cases or some rare cases that your application has stayed longer and they ask for such additional docs. Did you possibly state in your sop that you will pay tuition within a time frame??

Good evening sir, please I urgently need your assistance with my admission. I already sent you a PM. PLEASE

Responded

GENUINEFILMS:
Thanks for the response. Is it necessary to inform ircc about the new start date before entering canada. If yes, by what means should someone inform ircc.

Not necessary since it's same school. Just go with the updated LOA and show them at POE. They will give you a study permit to cover the new LOA. I advise you also hold the pld one just in case you have to explain the deferral

GENUINEFILMS:
Good evening .

I would like to get answers for these questions?

1)What will you do when you get another intake date from your school after your study permit has been granted?

2) Can someone enter canada 6 weeks before resumption of studies?

1. As long as the new intake date falls before expiration of your study visa then you are fine. You enter with the new LOA and apply for study permit extension.

2. Yes.

amazingrace2736:
Good morning, I also got a withdrawal letter and I would like to reapply immediately. I am trying to send you an email. Kindly respond. Thank you

Responded

BeatThaMeat:
Thank You and God bless you.

Now the problem is this, he said I have to run an account showing that my business has been functioning, that I didn’t just convert all the money to USD and then I’m no longer doing exactly what I need to do as per the business.

Now I’ve got a separate amount in crypto in which I can sending the money into my account, but he said it has to be 7 million or above . I keep asking why it has to be that amount and he said we shouldn’t use emotions.

Please I’d like to know why it is that amount why can’t I just run like $3,000, I asked him what if I don’t have up to that amount he asked me to withdraw from the money in USD which is my second year school fees and my living expenses which doesn’t make sense I’m trying to know why it’s 7 million.

Well, I don't see the reason why it must be 7million. Sales can drop at anytime, companies can have multiple acct and decide to use one acct more at a time. Technical issues from banks can always arise pushing you to another bank. These are logical reasons if your agent considers then he can fly with the 3k dollars. Naira made some recovery in the past few days, changing your dollars to naira is reducing value of your money as you can't guarantee the rate when you plan to change back to usd.

BeatThaMeat:
this is what the agent told me

For record purposes, this is a summary of what was discussed with you over the phone.

We only require your updated bank statement(s) with continued inflows amounting to a historically sufficient bank balance to submit the new application at the time when you have provided us with your Attestation Letter.


Note that the initial application was not refused but withdrawn/returned by IRCC due to the non-inclusion of the Attestation Letter. The paid application fee was refunded as well less the surcharges.


If providing us with a bank account that meets our definition (to you) of a healthy and sufficient bank account, which also we have best advised numerous times is not possible due to an unprecedented factor, provide us with what you have persistently said is available to you for the application. However, to make us proceed, you have to assent that your well-informed permission was given.



P.S. Our advice considered best for your application is; if for a reason you cannot liquidate your domiciliary account entirely, liquidate a part that can amount to NGN 7m (or above) to run your naira bank account to demonstrate your kitchenware importation and sales business in your country is actively functioning. Do well to avoid lump sum inflows at this time. Rather consider using piecemeal payments of NGN 50,000 low and up to NGN 250,000 high to run the account.

Your agent has a point where he or she said its logical to show transactions after the conversion of the money to usd. However, there is no need convert back to naira and run that acct as it might expose the whole thing as being demonstrative. When was the date you stopped running the acct.
The most important thing is the initial stuff you did and the money is still available and well explained. It's also possible you have multiple accounts and have decided to stop using this acct after submitting the first application.

BeatThaMeat:
You are an idiot Tolifefun you caused my application to be withdrawn cos I didn’t read further what the other guy was saying. You are a big idiaaaat for misleading me.

I can understand your anger especially as the guy you quoted kept going forth and back that day attacking ppl that didn't agree with his opinion on something that clearly written on ircc website.
But I think you quoted the wrong person.

Sorry for withdrawal of your application, it's not a rejection. Your application fee will later be refunded as I heard. Submit another application immediately.
Next time no matter what you read here from anyone you think is portrayed as knowledgeable, always try verify from ircc website or from other reliable sources.

Good Afternoon House,
Please I applied for my study permit on Monday, but for some silly reason I clicked 'No' in the 'Do you have a national identity document' section.
I just remembered now that what was being referred to was my NIN.
Can I use a webform to update my answer and attach my NIN slip, please advise?
I'll also appreciate the link for the webform.

This will not determine fate of your application.

Please people, I need help on this documents resize to 2mb, I did it, it exceeded 2mb, did it again, know its about 9kb but some documents you can't see even when zoomed... please I need advice to get it right and document could be seen too when zoomed

Why not save yourself stress and use the old portal where you have a limit of 4mb.

MarksmanD:
I applied to Conestoga since January and I'm still awaiting a verdict on my application. I checked the OCAS portal a few days ago and saw that I was placed on waitlist on the 2 optional courses I chose, while no decision has been made on my course of preference. Within this period I have already applied and gotten admission to study in the UK and I think I'd just take it, despite not liking the UK. My siblings and friends who live in the UK are telling me to rather wait for Conestoga verdict than to pay for the UK school tuition deposit because of upcoming UK study visa rules by the home office. Even though I understand their concerns, my home ties to Nigeria isn't even strong at all if I apply for a study visa to Canada. I can afford the cost of relocating to Canada myself because I have always wanted to relocate out of Nigeria so I planned financially for years. I refused to acquire any property, cars, and get married that would limit me when the time comes to leave. I'm also above 30.
My chances of getting a study visa is better currently with the UK than Canada, which makes the whole waiting for Conestoga verdict a waste of my time. With the news and rumors of how Conestoga College is badly run academically and administratively, also the housing and living crisis in Canada, I'm just like is it even worth it to go there for a PGD, when I can just get a master's degree in the UK for the same amount.

When you eventually get that Masters in UK, you will definitely struggle to convince a VO why you now want to cross over to Canada for another Masters or PGD.
