Davidganna10:
So today I had a heated argument with a friend, who happens to be freelancer turn cryptocurrency trader and sports gambler with about $38k(USD) portfolio to his name. this my friend, is of the opinion that he can sponsor his self for a one year PGD in Canada by just showing his trading history without being CAC ed.

Now my arguments are these:
1) Visa officer will want to know the source of income, and to my understanding crypto or gambling income is not viewed as a strong income stream because of its volatility.
2) He graduated since 2016 (5years gap).
3) have never work for any organization since graduation.
4) No physical business to show home tie. Although, he have some landed property and an ongoing building project.

I want to know from the gurus here whether he can self sponsor, taking into cognisance the points I listed above.

He currently viewing this thread.

His chances are very low.

Good evening house.
I want to apply for a postgraduate program in Lambton college but I'm a bit confused with their requirements.
1 As a Nigerian, do I need to write any English language proficiency test as part of ission requirements?
2 Does Lambton college accept HND for a postgraduate program?

Your answer is needed please. Thanks.

Most institutions in Canada exempts Nigerians from IELTS,you can confirm from the school ission office though.
And you're good to go with the postgraduate program as an HND holder.

Very few schools ask for IELTS or any English Language test, so what you will do is to send a mail to the school asking these questions, both question 1 and 2.

The school is in a better position to answer your question..

Peace

Regardless, I give all the glory to God. It was a really long wait, and it was worth every single second of it.
Thank You to everyone here who in one way or the other contributed to my application.

My application was processed via the normal route. I was denied based on Personal Assets blah blah, cos I know I finished them with my SOP godi.

I'm back now and willing to help as many as I can on this journey or lemme just say application
I'm willing to go through as many SOPs as I can.
I'm ready to answer as many questions as possible.
Let's all get involved in any little way we can.
For Charles Dickens says, "No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another"

My advice to everyone who's yet to apply or waiting for a decision?
Please do not be scared. I know it sounds impossible but on the long run you'll discover your fear and worry doesn't change anything.
If your application was denied, don't give up too. Keep refiring until you hit your target.

I wish everyone awaiting PPR good news in the shortest possible time.

Believe me when I say this..

It will end in Praises!

Honestly, someone was asking about @Emeenaka and the thought of @deommanual came to my mind, just few post down the line I saw this.
So great to have you back bro, I heard how helpful you were to others,may you never lack help in Jesus name and surely we'll celebrate your testimony.

Afobear:
Let someone reply me please. I keep asking this question everytime but it seems I'm invisible. Which schools offer a masters in social science that's itting Jan_May next year ? Or colleges Please

90% of schools in CA offer courses in Winter.

Google will help you streamline it.

Blazca:
Can someone be approved with sop of just 1 page?

We've seen approval without SOP sef, but it's not advisable.

Since there won't be an in-person interview,an individual is advised to write a juicy and explanatory SOP touching all areas that might require an explanation.
For me o, 1page no go do.

Iphiegrace:

Please does IOM send message when medical case is sent to embassy?

lawfree638:
As of July 6, the backlog of permanent residence applications had skyrocketed by 70 per cent to 375,137 since February 2020, with the number of applications for temporary residence currently sitting at 702,660 cases.

The backlog of citizenship applications has also ballooned: it’s reached 369,677 people from 208,069 over the same period. These numbers do not include the applications that have been received at the mailroom of immigration offices but which have yet to be entered into the system.

Source: thestar.com

These guys are really in the busiest period in their immigration history.

Your statistics are quite insightful, thumbs up.

Yes ircc is overwhelmed right now but I don't think they have a valid excuse not keeping to their promises. Paying the visa fee and biometrics translate into entering an agreement for their highly esteemed services, which I believe should be rendered at the stipulated processing time.

If they're interested in the money,then they should be ready to deliver ; no one is saying it must be a positive response but at least let people know their fate.

If na to employ more hands,why not (infact me I'm ready to work with them for free).

They call or message you to inform you that you ed the medicals and they are sending to IRCC

Just got this email from Beijing office, does that mean my application is being processed from there. Also note the advice at the end of the message

Dear applicant, this is to inform you that your health case has been submitted to the embassy.

please is there cause for alarm?

Yes, like this: Dear Applicant,
Please be informed that the result of your medical health assessment has been submitted to IRCC.

ademidedavid:

Bayor65:

April 13th normal route no update also and I have done upfront medicals, hoping to receive a positive before the August 6th, if not I think the next thing Would be to keep sending webforms because I don’t know what else to do

Welcome back deomanuel, my personal person, thank you for all that you do concerning my application, I have called severally, sent WhatsApp messages and even mail, all to no avail. As you have rightly said , all glory to God for everything.
I've missed you ooo pls reply my mail, we have alot to talk about.

My cousin's (Paul) student permit got declined today after 9 long months.

I am refusing your application on the following grounds:

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of
residence.


He paid his first-year school fees, his father transferred all money to him (maybe we should have provided a gift did to his application)

for the second, I don't get it, is it because I am already in Canada? (I am paul's cousin)

\

Firstly, I'm sorry about the delay.

Secondly, I'm really pissed at IRCC after 9 months? What da heck! pregnancy has turned to a kid. This is unfair. 9 months, Haba.

So sorry about this.
Please order for his GCMS notes.
In the main time, what's the duration of his program? Did he show how he'll pay the tuition fee of his subsequent years?
Just guessing he might have been refused for insufficient fund to himself all through the program

I think you can wait till ending of August to see if there will be response from IRCC, then defer by that ending if there's no response.
