Yes it is. I'm above that age and I give it a shot and it worked. So yes. You can settle down quickly since you don't have kids yet and its good you're married.

eddyme:
Please, i have got a question, is canada still a good destination for someone age 40 for graduate program, newly married but no kids

It might need a better approach because your Proof of funds is one of the key factor to approval. The fund alone is not enough, you must understand how to word your SOP/LOE.

Doladollz:
Hello everyone! Please I need your opinion.

My visa was refused twice last year so I’m planning to reapply again.

NOTE!
- I submitted my dad’s personal , his business and my own personal s.
- He transferred some money to my (30m) and we did a gift deed affidavit.
- I paid one semester tuition (It’s a one year programme)

My application was refused based on financial reasons. After requesting for my GCMS notes, I found out that they focused more on my dad’s business which had some lump sums and they didn’t even check my personal .

Now, to move forward, I want to pay my complete tuition and I intend to use only my which has #30,000,000 as POF for living expenses because I don’t want my dad’s to complicate things. The money has been in my for 4 months. Do you think that will be enough?

Since you've paid half of your tuition, you only need to show this:10k cad + 20,635 living expenses. Ensure you tabulate your Proof of funds section in your SOP and give the breakdown so the VO can understand what has been paid and what's left.

D4real9:
Please Guys I need help
,if my 1 year tuition is 20,000 cad and I’ve paid 10k cad already for my first semester tuition.

Do I demonstrate a balance of 10k cad + 20,635 living expenses?

Or

20,000 Cad + 20,635 living expenses

despite paying half of it already.

You should be good with your WES. And you can email the school and tell them your challenges, they will guide you on what to do.

Kcenyimbk:
hello everyone ,please i am a bit confused here and I need help.so i am applying to schools in most ontario colleges..courses are either nursing or practical nursing .but i am confused .i have a degree which has been evaluated by wes and waec...but in the ocas sites,there was no option for me to provide my waec results.pls can someone put me through.i am confused....thank in advance

No amount is fair. You can do it yourself. I can help you with the SOP. But if the agent has helped you get ission and other things, you can pay as your pockets accomodates.

Mastercraft360:
How much do you think is a fair price to pay an agent for visa processing?

I get to provide every document except the SOP.

Please let me know.

Thank you

The possible chance you have is to demonstrate that lump sum is available by spending it and paying the tuition balance from it. And you would still have to explain the source of the funds with proper ing docs.

Hello guys,

I need your help with this.

Can I get the police character certificate from my state police command or must it be from Abuja or Lagos?

Please let me know

A lot of people got ission through this format in time past only for them to get stranded in Canada and unable to fund their study.

We re the ones who awakened ircc consciousness to these things.

So sorry, you just have to get more documentation and possibly spend out of the money available for your study to proof the VO decision wrong.

My program is two yrs, I got the tuition covered with mpower, I have 21k USD solely for living expenses in our t , 4.5k for miscellaneous, hubby is my sponsor, do I still need to show money in his personal ?

Please help

Yes, you need the statement for the month the land sale payment was made into her just to butress the amount and the buyer's name that shall be further corroborated with the executed Deed of Assignment showing same name for the buyer and the amount the property was purchased. Both documents were meant to show the genesis of the lump sum in your , that it was truly from your mom and proceed of land sale.

Seyi111:

Hey guys,

I really need your help with my student visa reapplication. My first application was refused with the generic reason "not likely to leave Canada after study." When I ordered my GCMS notes, the real issue turned out to be "insufficient funds available."

In my initial application, I submitted an education loan approval/sanction letter that fully covered my two years of tuition and living expenses. I also showed 25,000 CAD in my father’s as additional financial .

I’m not sure why this wasn’t considered enough, and I’d really appreciate any advice you can give me on how to handle this and make my case stronger for the reapplication.

Thanks so much for taking the time to help!

Please can you guide me on how to get my GCMS notes. Thank you.

First application denied:June 19
Reapplication:August 9
Medical updated:September 10
Ordered GCMS notes:September 24
Received GCMS notes:October19

In the notes they requested for updated LOA because I had to defer ission to January,my school already responded to IRCC October 11…

Radio silence from September 10 till date.

Good day house. Please i have an issue regarding Reference. My lecturers said the reference is addressed to a particular school. But i am applying to 3 different colleges. Please any idea on how it should be addressed.

Are you getting a reference before ission because, each college will tell you how they will get your references.

- They can send a link to the official email address of the referee to fill their reference
- They can also request the referee to write the reference letter addressed to the ission committee of the particular school

After going through your GCMS note, it is clear that the funds are for demonstration purposes. For a 41-year-old to be sponsored by his brother-in-law, it does not suit you not to talk of VO. Let the brother-in-law send the funds to the PA and do a notarized gift deed clearly stating that the funds are an unconditional gift, provided solely for the PA's education and related expenses; provide documents that demonstrate the brother-in-law's financial capacity and the source of the lump sum. letter of explanation (LOE) from the brother-in-law addressing why he is ing the PA.

Your SOA from Eco were not clear for the VO to review and the funds in GTCO and Stanbic were too small to cover your expenses. Maybe you can share the details of the funds breakdown so it can be compared with what you need.

The good thing is the VO did not flag the sources of funds but the totality you have.

Congratulations ❤️

I have reviewed your GCMS note; submitting a multiple for you and your spouse was a problem for the VO. Try to minimize the number of s to at least 2; above 2 bank s might pose a problem. Consolidate funds: transfer funds from multiple s into one or two primary s. This simplifies the VO’s review process and demonstrates financial preparedness clearly. If it’s not possible to consolidate, include a Letter of Explanation (LOE) detailing why multiple s are being used. Your financial documents should be legible for the VO. Do not assume it is clear after compression; ensure to preview before ing your documents. Ensure to calculate the required amount you will be needing for you and any accompanying and back it up with documents to proof its source.

Yes. If they requested for it, then you are almost home. Goodluck.

Pls when does processing time start counting?

Was it the date you submitted your application or the day biometric was updated?

Thank you…
