Pls can an applicant submit bank statement of 8 months?

Yes but why do you want to do that when ircc says 4-6 months

AdesheO:
Hi everyone I am new to this post but came across while researching.

I received a visa denial from IRCC yesterday morning. Application was submitted May 28th and biometrics was given 8th of June and rejection received 13th of June.

The reasons cited were
i) significant family ties in canada (my sister and her husband and kids are permanent residents in canada for 2 years. However the rest of my family is here in Nigeria. I submitted her bank statements and reference letter from work as I will be staying with her. She owns her own home and has a very good income. I will also be going without my husband and 14 months old son which I believe are ties to Nigeria. Including my brothers and parents (my mum has a Canadian TRV)

ii) your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel. (This i couldn’t understand as my bank statement submitted has a closing balance of a little 29 million Naira with school fees for the first session fully paid. My course is a one year course in digital health as I am an healthcare worker. I also submitted by husbands bank statements and reference letters from work for both of us.

I used an IRCC registered agent who is also quite upset at the visa application result and is advising we request a judicial review. I will really appreciate your advice as I am quite confused. I have ordered my GCMS notes as of this morning. But would really appreciate any insights of anyone has experience this and how they overturned it. Thank you.

I shared similar situation with you. My sis is a PR holder and lives with her hubby and kids and she was my cosponsor covering my tuition. However I sponsored my loving expenses so I also submitted my cac docs, receipts, invoices, SOA etc.
I dont know if your sister is a full sponsor(which will be another red flag as you have a weak economic home ties), I think the mistake you made was including you will be staying with your sister.
What do you currently do in Nigeria? Working or doing business? You didn't seem to mention any so that explains the assets and financial situation are weak to support your application. It's not always about having millions in your acct. It's about showing details how you made the money and how you intend to improve your economic situation back in Nigeria after your study

Accessed:
Please how do you know from the tracker if the application is going to be approved or rejected?

You can't know. The only thing that can give the slightest clue is if your Medical examination is passed then you know it's likely ppr is dropping

i applied for study visa . paid 1 years tution at NSCC college used microfinance fixed deposit statement and a land deed and yet i got rejected saying my financial statements and assests are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel . i am confused . please any ideas what should i do i want to reply .

You used fixed deposit as if that easnt enough, you put it in a microfinance bank. You were screaming to be denied. Both are huge red flags.

I will strongly advise you aren't in a rush to reapply, order your GCMS notes

oluwashola4me:
By reinforcing Proof of Funds, can one use a new bank statement different from the one used in the last application?

Yes

Army2022:
I just ran a check on Niagara college and your info is incorrect.
Make sure you get your calculations right before applying oo.
I saw "Business" cost about 34k for the entire 2yrs.
I tried to attach the screenshot here but it couldn't attach.

I was wondering myself how it would he 17k for 2 years.

blessedbest:
Thank you so much for your response. The 17k is for the 2 years.
Please what's the difference between SOA and SOP?

Statement of acct, Statement of purpose

daisy1:
I saw it oo
My study permit number as well as my visitor visa number!! I used the link below.

Jesus is wonderful!!

You can track your application status

Congrats.

blessedbest:
Thank you so much,it's a two year program.
And the total tuition $17,921.90.
First term tuition is $ 9674.95.( which I am working on paying)
#10m proof of funds ( first term tuition not included)
The school is Niagara college
Course: Business
Diploma
I studied Health education at Bsc level but have been doing business since 2017
I am self funded
Is this convincing enough to get a visa?

Talking about convincing. You didn't really put down any details here.
The 17k is it for your 2 years total or just a year?
Since you are into business, u will submit your cac docs, back it up with receipts, invoices, waybills etc. Explain all lump sums in your SOA and ofcourse your SOP is key to show career progression. Also your economic and home ties and future plans. These are other important things to take note of

Army2022:
Good evening good people.
I'll appreciate everyone's idea on this question.

IS THERE ANY PGWP ENABLED SCHOOL THAT OFFER'S BUSINESS COURSE IN ALBERTA, NOT MORE THAN 14k PER YEAR.

Or in other parts of the country.
I'm asking because if I find a cheaper school, I may change after my first semester or first year.
Please share your experience or ideas 🙏

Alberta? E go hard oo. Their schools too expensive.

Olumain4:
great bro.
maybe you can help me go through my 7 pages letter of explanation. (no pictures yet, but all writting in place)

Send Me a DM

tayogbade:
Hello everyone,

Please I need all the advise I can get.

My study is starting in September. Visa has been approved.

I applied alone and used my husband and two kids as home ties.

Now I want to apply for them.

What visa do you think I should apply for, for my husband and two kids.

Note: my course is for 10 months

Thank you all in a advance

What school are you going to

Letusconnect:
Please, did they send you an email when they started eligibility review? And how long after biometrics did it start?

They will not send you such mail

Olumain4:
Thanks
Sponsor is my direct sibling, single at the moment
I ve been working since 2021 but i dont have much, like 600k, because i bought some properties some months ago.
my sibling is ready to do full sponsorship.
Any way to deal with this red flag you mentioned?

Ohk. Already listed what your sponsor shud submit to show he is financially capable and also how to show relationship with sponsor.
Your bro could transfer your living expenses to you and you do a gift deed. Since it's a 2 years course, he could Even send balance of 1st year tuition then the rest be in his acct.
What do you plan to show as home/economic ties? Since you work, it's expected you contribute something significant to your funding.
Show your employment letter, pay slips, introduction/reference letter from employer and study leave if u are using your job as an economic/home tie

Help! Help! Help!
Hi Everyone, I need help relocating. I have tried reading the thread but I see most people here already started their applications. I don't want to get banned by Canada, so I would like to do it myself. I have been living in South Africa for 9years, I used Asylum which helps me work and study. They suddenly stopped renewal last year which made me started considering relocation because there is no point staying if I can't work and support my family back home.
Here is the problem, I have a BSE in HR and a diploma in Computer Engineering(all certificates was obtained in Lagos Nigeria) and Im 35 single and never married.
What would be my best way to relocate to Canada?
What options do I have because I know the age might not be on my side?
Can I still get options for this year?
What will it cost me?
Would I need to go back to Nigeria as I can't renew my papers?
I would love help from the community, affordable options please.

You will boost your chances of approval if you can go back to Nigeria and apply from Nigeria. Applying from SA screams you want to enter Canada and don't intend to leave after studies since you have stayed in SA for years under asylum. Trust irrc to do background checks.

If you can 100% self sponsor yourself, that will be cool.
Cost will depend on the duration of program you pick and cost of tuition.
Finally, most schools have closed for September intakes. You can still check sha. You can target January 2024 intake. And yes you can do it yourself.

Olumain4:
My people, please answer me o. Save me from wasting money for application.

Will this proof of fund work:

#8m equivalent to 22kcad (gotten from sponsor)
12kpounds equivalent to 20kcad (sponsor bank statement)
Paid 1st semester fee 3,330 cad

Note: my sponsor is working in uk

Program is 2 years, 10k per year. (Total:20k)

I need several suggestion that can make succesful outcome

1st question is who is the sponsor to you? You have to prove relationship with the person.
he or she will provide evidence to show source of money, birth certificates of related to you, evidence of previous commitments and pictures of you and sponsor. It's always easier if sponsor is your sibling, spouse or parents.
If sponsor is working, pay slips, employment letter, shud all be added along with statement of acct, if into business, then cac docs, invoices, receipts will all help your case. Most importantly, in your sop give more details about your sponsor with regards to his family if he is single or married so VO can clearly work out what he expects the sponsor to have in his acct. Let's say you are claiming your sponsor is sponsoring as much as 25k cad and he is a family man with 3 kids and he submits a SOA of 28k, that might not fly. Abi sponsor no go fend for his family again? So you have to put all this into consideration especially as you are going for a 2 years course. VO will want to be satisfied that sponsor has excess so as to make funds for your second year tuition readily available.

Also don't know your study Gap. If you have been working for a while, then it will be a red flag to have full sponsorship.


From what you wrote, 2 years tuition is 20k cad
Living expenses 20k cad
Miscellaneous 4k
That's total of 44k.
So work out whst sponsor is bringing to the table and what is coming from you, do a break down clearly in your SOP.

blessedbest:
Please as a first time Visa applicant,is it advisable to do it my self or use an agent? I have already secured my admission by myself.
Please if u suggest I do it my self please give me a guide as to how to go about it

#10m proof of funds
1st year fees paid :#9676.95 CAD
Self funded student
The agent is charging #500 CAD besides the official Visa app fee

PLEASE HELP ITS URGENT

You can actually do it yourself.
Go to the first page and see the required check list then take your time if you have time luxury and go through this thread as much as you can. You will see many refusals and approvals. With that, you will know the DOs and Donts. You might see someone with exact case as yours.
You can write your sop using information from here then anyone here can help you review. I can help you review it.

Finally, you said 1st year school fees paid so I assume it's atleast a 2 years program. You can drop more info on the length of the program so someone can help you work out estimated proof of funds since you are self sponsored. Just sha get ready to justify the funds you claim to have as a self sponsored. Goodluck.

SLOVFO:
Please can you expatiate on the bolded statement? Because I intend staying with family (before I get my own accommodation) when I travel in July. And I was told to say so at the POE if questioned about accommodation.

If your family member is in same city as your school then no issue stating you will stay with them. I mean it's logical you stay there to save cost as long as it doesn't disturb your primary aim there which is to study. Would have probably been an issue if your family stay in another province far from your school.

oluwashola4me:
Can an applicant tender a new Bank statement other than the one used for the first application?

Yes

Hello, Zubizareta
Please, my Canadian Study Permit application was submitted on June 01, 2023. But it was full of some inconsistencies, which made me request for its withdrawal. I addressed and corrected the issues in the withdrawal request tho.

But after some deep reflections, I raised another web form to retract the already submitted withdrawal request, what do you think about this decision pls?



Thank you.

Make me understand, you requested to withdraw a withdrawal request? Has the second withdrawal been successfully carried out??

Hello Family and friends

I got a refusal letter yesterday

Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. I have reviewed your study permit application
and supporting documentation to assess whether you meet the requirements for a study permit
(https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/
eligibility.html). This includes assessing whether you are coming to Canada temporarily for the
reason(s) you describe in your application. I have determined that your application does not meet
the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) (https://lawslois.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

What could possibly be the problem, I had 12m in my account, 5m from land sales by my husband's name which was well explained with documents such deed of assignment, power of attorney, then a million naira support from the company where I work as an intern with a promotion, all with the letters from the company to backup that claim. I even added my GTB which shows my biz cements sales with invoices and photos of me there. although I work as an intern and don't get paid monthly, even attached my husband fashion design company registration document, our house valuation document worth 75m with pictures as well. Paid part of the school fees and attached payment receipts.

If there is anyone in the house who can assist, please I would appreciate because I would like to reapply and right now I do not know how to go about correcting what is wrong. my email is alexekp1@gmail.com

Thanks alot

With all you have stated, I am certain it will be for a very minute reason you were denied. I advise you order your GCMS notes so you know the exact reason.

You could also send me your SOP let me review for you.

sudo1986:
Hello guys, I have a question. If you are granted a study permit until November 2024, and your program is completing on July 2027, do you have to reapply for study permit or what?

How was this possible in the first place. Best bet is apply for study permit extension when you are in Canada

Msticks:
2025

Then it's valid. You can enter September 2024 and apply for study permit extension in Canada.
Just gather evidence of the family issues keeping you in Nigeria for when you apply for the study permit extension

tosin481:
hello great people in the house,
I have been following this thread, but this is the first time am asking question.

My study visa just got refused and am really disappointed. the reason given was;

• 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).

Submitted application on 23rd May
Biometrics on 31st May
Refused on 8th June

I am going for a 3 years program. My program resumes in September, 2023
i submitted evidence of my contribution as POF which is N5m
I also used my in-law as a sponsor and his employment documents and pay slip was included.

Any advice on what more I could do to convince visa officer and have my visa approved.

Am in the process of re-submitting another application.
I really trust God to get approval this time around. Thank you and God bless you

Wait..you said 5M or 50M??

angie88:
Wot caused d glitch and when will it be restored. Hope it will not affect timeframe for decisions? (😅See me asking ircc officer)

Lol. U will stress yourself out before this visa comes out

ynwatuzor:
Please house , is NBCC still open for Jan intake applicant ? ( International) student .

No. Till September 2024.

Hpesojalo:
Hello! Everyone, I sent a webform to withdraw my apple 5 days ago due to some reasons. Up till now nothing has been done. I’m wondering if I can submit a new application and I’m thinking hope the previous application won’t have an effect on the new one.


Please I need your suggestions guy? Has anyone experienced this before?

Please help 🙏

Keep sending webforms till the first one is withdrawn. Putting another application without withdrawing the first will only complicate your situation and delay getting any response from irrc on either application

MatrixReloaded:
He needs to use it before the entry duration expire, if so the visa will be revoked

Did you read his comment? His school starts September and visa was issued April. He is asking if he can enter months before September. How is that same thing with what you said

Ayodeji786:
Your study visa will be revoked

Bros what kind of information is this. Revoke just like that? Wetin e do??

Nik4kk:
Hello house ,
I just want to start my application for study permit.
Any tips or mistakes to avoid when applying .

If you go through the thread from beginning, you will find everything you need here

anori:
Good day guys, I need advice. I already got the study visa and it already started counting since April for a September course. If I wanted to go some months ahead of September to visit family do I get a separate visitors visa?

You can enter Canada tomorrow if you wish with your study permit visa.
But at the POE, you might be questioned why coming in 2 months before start of your program. Just be ready to show them POF you intend to use sustain yourself while waiting for your program to commence
