Good evening everyone
So I sent my updated ission letter to ircc recently, how do I know if they’ve seen it because I’m using an agent but I decided to send it myself

Please i need advice
Application for study permit July 6
Biometric July 9
I dint pay tution deposit.
Then school mailed me that I had to pay before Oct 8th.
So i did. But I can't the receipt on my ircc portal.
It's been over 3 months and there's no activity on the portal about my application.

Should i be worried? Should I do my medicals?
Please advise me

Debzbetapikin:
Good evening House, my husband just got accepted into a canadian college today and he wants to apply for his study permit now. Please i have the following questions:

1)Please what will the wife of an intending student apply for?
Is it open work permit, visit visa (other types) or tourist visa

2)How do we apply for Nigerian Student express Visa ?

3)General Advice on this study permit, please share all dos and don't s

Hello
With little that I've gathered so far,

1- Open work permit

2- you can still do this- requirements are - ielts 6 in each LWRS or more, 30$ CAD in your , MBS (my bank statement ticket) for 12months (you can always research more online). Some are getting their PPR through this in 6weeks or more. You can be lucky. (If I knew I would've written ielts).
You can either use old or new portal, but in your case it will old portal because you're applying for spouse open work permit which isn't on new portal. Also, for NSE, you just include all these documents and you're good to go.

3- Take your time to gather documents, read everything and anything on study permit, watch YouTube and God will do the rest.
Lastly, try apply yourself.

I hope this helps.

OlaqR:
Dear Gurus,

I need help on the below refusal reasons that came on the 29th of September:

• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).

• Pursuant to paragraph 220(a) of the IRPA, 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.

I already ordered my GCMS notes since August 9, but NO update from IRCC yet.

NOTES:
I did not pay any tuition deposit

I used a fixed deposit letter of N17m plus in my application.

Thank you, as I awaits your contributions.

You used a fixed deposit letter ? That's all ?
Did you the fixed Deposit certificate?
Was the fixed Deposit contract completed ? I mean right now , do you have access to the money ?
Also did you submit MBS ? If yes how much ?

Godsmercy565:


Omooo…so I will be here for Emilokan and Obidient election
Naaaa

Yes o. Actually your country loves you and wants you to vote before leaving

daffy22:

You will only pay the #9,410 fee if you didn't capture biometrics at Abuja VFS) and SMS fee of about N 1,000

This platform helped me a lot, thank you. I pray that everyone waiting shall receive their PPR soon.

Okay thank you for helping out, I went to dhl office today at ikotun and they were looking at me like they are novice to what I wanted to do, they told me to go to their head quarter at oshodi, I was confused since they said I can go to anyone near me. Ok thinking I should go direct to the address and submit my port? And again aside from the 9410 do I have to pay for logistics again or that money covers it, just asking

If I have a ed business, do I need to get a tax clearance certificate? Business name is already active on CAC. I want to know if I need to a get a TCC too.

@perfectbecky,

Don't be dismayed by what you see on your Profile.Sincerely, much is happening at the background on your profile but you won't know. Please stay positive and sit tight.

Medical review means assessment on your medical report.

You may raise a Webform and express your self on your observations to date.

I hope this helps

perfectbecky:
Application will be 4months in 6 days, no eligibility nor background check, medical has been under review for over a week now.
It will end in praise.
What does medical under review means and how long does it take?

@meemeelisco,

YES but what matters more as far as his/her four years program is concerned is FUND AVAILABILITY FROM SPONSOR for the remaining 3 years upon approval.

So IRCC will be looking at the nature of business/job and annual income of the Sponsor and how STABLE it is to avoid abandoning the project mid-way while he/she is in School and expose her to threats.

If the sponsor is a business man with huge turnover (inflows & outflows) within 6 months, it could sell through.


I hope this helps also.

meemeelisco:
This is misleading.

You only need to show proof of fund for the first year of study (not times 4)

And proof that source of fund will be consistent and available to cater for the other years

Godsmercy565:


Yes my application has been approved.
My program was differed to May, Hence why I want to change to an alternative program in January

If you want to change your program, do it soon. You may not even have a sopt right now because some colleges have filled their January and May intakes and some also have long waiting lists. Check with your college soon.

@Frankieliobaby,

Well spoken,

There are more to showing only bank statement without articulated SOP!!!!!!

Frankielilbaby:
A while back I was reading an article about this and the writer was saying that we should be careful these visa officers are not fools some of them have been in the business for more than we can expect and they are already used to these small tricks people play just to leave the country. Think of it as criminals evaluating criminals. When this happens you know what to expect. sometimes it takes more than just a few bank s with huge sums of money and it all comes down to one question. Why? Why is he/she sponsoring you now when they have not in the years of knowing you? Why are they willing to pay millions of naira ontop your own matter? Your SOP should do justice to these questions.
Think of it as you in a court fighting to prove your innocence so therefore you should say anything sayable to prove your point.
Show pictures if you have some
Instead of letters get affidavit instead.
Let them pay your fees from their s to show commitment.
When you have packaged your application try to look at it from a third person's view ask yourself if you have provided a solid source of income or if you have shown solid commitment.

Bobomaigida:


Canada does not share information with UAE, i think there is a place where you are asked if you have been deported from any country then you have to state it there.

It won't have any material effect on your application.

All the best

But isn't there a possibility of IRCC ing UAE for his background information because Calmdexter will definitely have to reveal that he was in UAE at some point.

@Calmdexter In addition to stating that you've been deported before, I think you'll have to include an explanation in a LOE.

I think it may have an impact because you overstayed illegally right? If not, why exactly were you deported? It's not adding up... did they really deport you even though you did nothing wrong?

@ Hessian,

As a prospecting PG student with an MBA already I will advise you step down your MBA degree so that IRCC won't tell you the expense on your prospecting program is not worth the journey!

Yes, some have scaled through with same case (adding their MBA degree in their application) but you can never tell in your own case so that you don't shoot yourself down.....(career progression)

I hope this helps.

Hessian:
I need advice please. I have a first degree in Economics (2006). I have an MBA (2022). I also have 14 years experience in Sales and business development. Now I want to apply to a Canadian university to study for Master in Business Economics. Does it make sense to include my MBA qualification when applying ?

I am very new here please!

Thanks in anticipation of your advice.

@Etukokwu1234,

Quickly raise a Webform using the link below:

https://secure.cic.gc.ca/client/en/application

and explaining your case.Also plead that decision be made ASAP to enable you take definite steps towards your journey.

Should there be delay further (which I don't pray for) request for deferal.

I hope this helps

Etukokwu1234:
Please guys, I submitted my application since June 24/2022 and no reply from ircc... my school start date is November 1st... should I write to ircc/embassy..if yes, can someone help me on how to go about that?

Thank you. I did my biometric in Abuja Vsf and I’m sending it there today. So this simply means I’m not paying anything to VSF only to the courier company right?
