CharitoJames:
So guys, a friend of mine who got itted to Conestoga just last week. Got a call from the agent that was processing his Visitors Visa in 2021( he applied September 2021 and did his biometrics then and got tired of waiting then decided to go for studies instead) telling him his visa has been approved but some documents have expired this and that. And sent him his GcKey page which he forwarded to me and it shows the Visa was approved since April 26 but the Agent read it July 13th, this past Thursday.
Now the agent is busy saying trash..that he has till Friday to get his port stamped but he needs to renew some documents this and that.

I shaa told him I don’t know anything about Visiting visa.
So the question now is… Can he still get that visa stamped on his port? Seeing that it’s almost 3 months since approval.
Secondly, now he has ission… what should he do? Go ahead and apply for Student’s visa?
Plus he doesn’t have access to his GcKey but he was able to see his UCI and Application number from the picture the agent sent to him.
Thirdly, I asked him to tell the agent that he wants to study now and not visit.. The agent told him it’s not a problem, that all he needs to do is to enter Canada then their guy over there will help him secure ission and the pay is 750k (on top ission wey he don get here already).

Please what’s the best approach in this situation? Should he use the Visitors visa and travel? And what about his ission that he applied from Nigeria? Or get the visa stamped on his port and still do a new application for Students visa?
And can he still get his port stamped or is it too late?

Is it possible to submit your port after 30 days?

First I doubt he can submit his port straight away without reaching out to ircc via mails and webforms first and getting their consent.
What possible documents does he want to renew for a visit visa. Probably still trying to squeeze out some cash from the guy.

This is what he should do. He should sent webform and mails to ircc using his application number and UCI and attaching a LOE explaining why he didn't submit his port all this while and plead to be reissued a fresh port request. This is my opinion as I haven't personally seen one with a case like this before.

He should go ahead and apply for his study permit using a new Gckey acct. His new application will be linked with his old UCI used in visit visa application as long as the details he will fill in the immigration forms tallies with the previous ones he filled during the visit visa application. Ircc will automatically merge both info.

I will advise he ditch the idea of traveling with visit visa with intention to apply for study visa from Canada. He stands a higher chance applying from Nigeria because of home ties. So since he is still in Nigeria, let him apply from Nigeria. He should still go ahead and reach out to ircc with regards to the port submission request I stated above.

If he cab successfully get his visit visa stamped, that shouldn't stop him from applying for the study visa in Nigeria. both applications are independent of each other and he will also tell the VO in his study application that he plans to immediately leave Canada after his study. So it makes sense to still have his multiple visit visa stamped and valid. Goodluck to him.

Wedding pictures should go to client information..

Eddlab24:


Sorry about the refusal.

Please, we are a family of three too, how much funds did you prove that returned insufficient?

POF as follows : (1) Land docs worth 23M ; (2) 37M cash ; (3) Car docs worth 1.5 and Jewelry worth 400k.

Program is for 2 years.

ShowYoung:


It might seem like a predicament but it is not. It might just be that something is yet to be addressed. GCMS note will give you a bird-eye view of what went south.

Listen to your agent if (s)he is of good repute as you said and I am assuming (s)he is licensed. No matter how reputable an agent may be, (s)he is not immune to visa denial. If you trust him/her, do not blame him. No one can guarantee success.

All we do here is provide information based on individual's experience with IRCC and information on their website. No one is perfect and a professional.

Preliminary Questions to do Analysis
1. You said you are sure that you had sufficient POF, can you provide more information here-- tuition fee, duration of program etc.
2. What form was your POF in? E.g sponsorship, loan, fixed deposit etc. They look at form of POF too and not just the value.
3. What home ties did you provide?
4. What documents did you submit?

Kindly answer the questions above so you can see where you have possibly not addressed well. Meanwhile, I am just asking based on what I think and should not be taken as a professional advise.

Thank you so much. Please see my answers below:

Question 1 on POF as follows : (1) Land docs worth 23M ; (2) 37M cash ; (3) Car docs worth 1.5 and Jewelry worth 400k.

Question 2 on Home ties : (1) Business incorporation documents, (2) Letter showing Leave from business , (3) letter of study leave received from office job ( I have a 9 to 5 as well) and (4) Parents and siblings (In hindsight, I realized the agent didnt submit the birth certificates of my parents & siblings, he just mentioned them in the SOP)

Question 3 on Other documents

Police certificate
ission letter for a full time Msc program showing program duration which is 2 years
Proof of part payment of tuition (7900Cad out of total of 47000CAD)
Completed biometrics

I did NOT submit
Medicals (not yet requested)
Flight tickets

When did you submit? Reason I asked is to know if you used the old or new rate. If you submitted after the new rate had come in place, then your pof is far from sufficient.
You need about 63,100 cad which is about 36.6million. So give or take, you ought to have submitted pof of about 45m especially if you are a self sponsor.

Hope It's Letter of Acceptance you submitted and not just ission letter??

Hello everyone . i will be 28 next year and i want to apply for a 1yr program in may.

My question is

Can i apply with 3 month's bank statement with a budget of 23m.

i don't have much ties linking me to my country apart from my parent. And my business is e commerce and my family gave me part of the funds for it. no personal property

Will the inflow of cash from my e commerce and a letter stating my family added to it be enough to convince them?

The course i will like to study is tech related and different from my e commerce business.

what are my chances of getting a visa?

I will appreciate a response.

Yes you can apply with 3 months SOA. The budget depends on your tuition but looking at it, it should cover for a 1 year program


You just have to find convincing home ties for your application. The e commerce can be used in a way to show home ties.

You would also have to find a way to relate the tech course to the e commerce business. Basically the SOP will do that.
Your chances of getting visa approval just like for everyone lies in your SOP, pof, career progression, home and economic ties.

Hi guys,

If my partner is going for a certificate and I and our 1year old is not planning to go with her. But I plan to apply for a visit visa while my daughter has an American port. Do we still need pof for 3 or just her? ( my partner) and secondly would it ben a problem that she is leaving behind her child for a certificate?

You will still need a pof of 3k living expenses for your daughter even if she doesn't need visa to enter. US port will not cover her bills.
If it's a t application, you will still need to show sufficient pof for yourself as well or rather more on your economic ties and what you do.

Usable POF is only 37m cash. Others fall under home ties.

This is how much you needed.

1. Tuition fee $47,000.
2. Living expenses for applicant $20,000 ($10,000/yr).
3. Living expenses for spouse $8,000.
4. Living expenses for child $6,000.
5. Miscellaneous expenses $5000+.
SUB TOTAL : $86,000.
Tuition deposit ($7,900)
TOTAL: $78,100 (NGN 46,860,000 if $1/600) if you submitted after June 16 or when the harmonized exchange rate was introduced, whichever comes early.

Alternatively, if you had proven a means of financing your education through to the second year if you showed a continuous source of finance, POF of the first year might have been used for you.

This is my thought and not a professional advice. Thanks.

Okay

Yes my program has Co-op program but it is optional, so it is not stated on my acceptance letter. And I will want to take the co-op program. Do I need to take a snap of where it is started on the website and there.

technix:
Does your program have a Co-op/internship? If yes, you can the page of your acceptance letter that has the Co-op letter. If not, then go back to the questionnaire on your visa application portal, and choose 'No' for the part that asked if work is an essential component of your study.

Good afternoon house.

Last week I was offered ission at centennial college January intake for a 2 year diploma program. I’m expected to make a deposit of 2650CAD( out of 9600cad first semester tuition) before 24th July so as to hold my place and accept the offer until the fees due date(15th October 2023).
After making the first payment of 2650CAD, can I proceed with visa application?

Please is there anyone here that is going to centennial college?

Thanks for your response. If I show my properties and business back home and stay that’s why I’m not going with her and my daughter will be under my care, I’d still need pof for my daughter and I?

Also, will me just applying for a visit visa be a strong proof of home ties for her or you advice I don’t apply at all. I just don’t want the VO thinking it’s unreasonable for her to leave her child behind, if not, I won’t include myself as I have no plans on ing her anytime soon.

Good day house, anyone gotten ission to sheridan college for the 2024 January intake, I have applied since April and I haven't got a response.

Ohh wow,

Thank you so much, appreciate ..

Yes you can proceed… why not pay the 1st semester fee to make your application stronger

Since you have no plan of ing anytime soon, let her apply alone. Ofcourse when she is traveling, she travels with your baby that doesn't need the visa to even enter in the first place so no need including her in the application. When you wife gets to Canada and becomes a legal status holder, she can invite you and you apply for your visit visa. With that, it will make your pof effectively used for only her application and also use you and your child has home ties

Thank you so much. I see now...I will wait for the GCMS note and work on all the mistakes I made earlier with the POF.

tenderjunkie:

There's no cheap flight for that date. I doubt you'll see anything less than 1.5m. Also the earlier you book the better.

To avoid transit visa wahala, avoid flights that have stops in USA. Also avoid flights that have more than one stop in Europe.

So book only flights that have one stop in Europe. It could have a stop in Africa (if you use Egyptair or Ethiopian) but not more than 1 stop in Europe

Good evening everyone
Can someone please add me to Saskatchewan Telegram or WhatsApp group ?

Is there any Saskatchewan Telegram or WhatsApp group.

Please can the add me?

Plz house I need some help

I need advice on how to go about it and what to do

Good evening everyone!

I have been reading some posts here and its been so helpful. So here are my concerns,... I have BSc in Computer Science and currently I'm into business. However, I got an offer from CBBC College to study continuing care assistance, which is unrelated to my career. What are my chances of getting study permit if I go for this program or I need to go for something related to educational background and experience? Please I need someone to advise me on this. Thanks

Kind regards
