Many questions on my head.
Are you an Agent ?
Is this First application or Re-application ?
Which country did you apply from ?

You posted sometimes in July that you sent MP mail. Now submission is showing September…

Anyway, Congrats

Just got PPR . Exactly 5weeks today

Dear Honorable Makano,

I received the same email on delay from ATIP.
What I did differently was raising a webform, I’ve forgotten the topic used there, but I found something so related on the category.

I urged them to release my GCMS note to the 3rd party on my behalf as I need to tackle the reasons for my refusal.
I woke up the next morning with my
GCMS note on my mail.

I guess everyone encountering this delay should try same.

Regards.

makano:
There is a general delay from ATIP as regards the delivery od GCMS notes..

So no matter the agency you use, the delay applies to everyone..

That is why anytime you apply for GCMS notes, you get this message "We are experiencing delays from ATIP "

When it comes to anything IRCC , delay is xpected.. So you all will need a lot of patience...

Peace

Dear Omiinii,

That story is so complicated if you read it all over again.
I doubt if the port request as the agent claimed to them was real.

Over 2 months with nothing yet.
And He’s requesting a refund of tuition fee for them again ?

Main reason I asked the guy to get the right info to share as the story is so complicated.
Agent is hiding something.

Omiinii:
This is unfortunate. The time to even submit her port has even elapsed. Now we know the details na to go DHL make complaints cos me sef never submit my own sef na prayer I dey pray. The gurus here will advise you on the next step to follow through.

You can send Web form to IRCC…
They should release your GCMS note to the third party on your behalf for your use.

I did that when I noticed a delay and it dropped the next morning.

Ekulu77:
I also applied with that agency September 26th I'm yet to receive notes
I sent them a mail, they said it's a delay from IRCC

Sorry about that.
It’s just a Delay.

No point rushing, Order your GCMS note first to tackle concerns accurately…

I have been following this thread.
My visa application just got refused based on personal assets and financial status after almost 5 months of wait
I would appreciate advice on what to do differently as I plan to reapply immediately
Thanks

sinorte:
Please who does one address the introduction letter from employer to?

There’s no 2 application.
You can decide to use any style that suit you.

(1) Some put table of content on first page of every with a lot of documents to show Page Number, List of Documents & Source for VO to know which page to look for what.

(2) Some put table of content at the end of SOP;
Enclosed are documents to my application…

I hope you understand.

Regards.

ManLikeB:
please can anyone refer me back to the post on how to create table of content for your ed files thank you

Lump Sum is an unusual huge sum received in bank .
If your sponsor eventually decided to send the money into your , a Deed of gift should be done to back it up with evidences as VO might think the money is borrowed from somewhere which leads to refusal due to financial status and personal assets…

Bankkydarry:


Also, you need to consider and avoid Lump sum in any of the cases.
Thanks a lot and I really appreciate, God bless you. But I want you to shed more light on what you mean above. That I should should consider and avoid lump sum in any of the cases.
Thanks

Hi Olorunjedaloraj,

In this Canada SP race, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
We’ve seen 20 days application, 6months and even over a year application.

There’s no pre-defined timeline.
Note: NSE has not been working for a while as none has gotten a request for it.
Just keep hoping and praying.
No fear.
Worse case scenario, You will Differ your program till May 2022 if they exceed.

Regards.

Olorunjedaloraj:
Good day,

I have submitted my application for a study permit and ed all necessary documents. I applied via the NSE route and I was told that applications via this route are done in 20 working days. I submitted my application on the 12th of october including my IELTS result with a minimum of band 6.5 accross each section.

I did my biometrics on 14th october 2021 and it has been updated on my profile. However, the upfront medical was done on the 11th october and ed in my profile on the 25th of october.

my resumption date is january.

Is the NSE route really valid?

What is the way forward?

Thanks

Kindly call to get the right information then revert.

House is ready to help but We cannot on assumptions.

Regards.

ritlala:
From the information the Uncle just gave me, they requested for the port and he has sent it. He is the one handling the application, He sent it last 2 months, that's August.

Hi Bankkydarry,

Your agent is right.
A family member is regarded as 3rd party in this case and it will take a whole lot of work and God to convince them in your SOP.
It’s always better to have your parent or Siblings as Sponsor or Self if you have a valid source of income to show for it.

Also, you need to consider and avoid Lump sum in any of the cases.

Regards.

Bankkydarry:
Good morning dear nairalanders. For proof of funds I got a family member who wanted to sponsor me but the agent told me it is better the money is transferred into my bank , which I don't think the person in question can do. He said family member sponsoring me might Lower my chances of getting a Visa. He said it is better i have the money in my Bank or that of my parents.Please how true is this? I look forward to your opinions.

(1) UCI number is not applicable to First Applicants.
(2) You can merge all your proof of funds into one PDF file…
The single file can be compressed within 4MB using ilovepdf.com

Regards.

ManLikeB:
As a new applicant where do I find my uci?
Secondly I have a lot of documents for proof of funds. And all can not enter 1 file of 4MB can I multiple files of 4MB under proof of funds ?

You didn’t even notify forum when you were approved

This is not our rule

Adetayooyinade:
Hello everyone !! Please how long does it take on average to get your port after IRCC requests it ?
Also, is there a preferred way to address the package when the port is being sent to the VAC via courier ??
Thank you!!

Congrats
November 3 is a good day.

Baba Ijebu 2 sure : single 3, 11

CuteCandy90:
Guys!!!!

I have forgotten who said this but “The Proverbial Eagle has Landed”

I’ll share timeline soon. I can’t right now because I’m at work.


Just wanted to quickly drop this

Today has been sweet so far.

Congrats to everyone that received PPR so far today, more are coming in.
I’m happy here seeing good news unlike recent days.

Waiting for yours @Teemenzo @Tinankem

Wow, This is one of the shocking positive result I’ve ever seen.

The SOP/LOE must be a bomb.
God is on your side.

May He always favor you.
Congrats…

johnfem321:

Deported from Uk
Criminal record (over 5years prison sentence )
Lump sum was used for application , all funds was deposited just 1 month before application

Wish people expecting ppr a positive outcome..

I should also say thanks to Ketima.. May God continue to bless you and strengthen you

One of the guru responded to you.
@Makano

Send him mail

Malcomsaint:
Thank you very much.
I am not married, no kids. 1st child. 26yrs. 1property
. . Can I please be directed to someone now is proficient in LOE writing. Thank you

Like Me as I am, I’m still looking up to God to reapply soon.
I found this forum 3 months after my first submission and I’ve learnt a lot and still learning…

But I won’t stop ing knowledge of what I know…

@ForevaTT.
I won’t just come here for Questions.
If everyone is coming here for Questions, then Who do we pay to answer ?

Lol.

No need.
Only if your sponsor is providing a company which is not even advisable from trend…

Oviebright:
Make person sha answer my questions. Is it compulsory for my sponsor to have tax clearance and audit report of his ? We nor need quarrels for this thread abeg.

Hi ForevaTT,

What He said was not wrong.
This forum is not a paid forum but an open source for everyone to learn daily.

I always have issues with people who come here for questions only without ing down knowledge.

(I speak for myself) 80% of what we know today on Canada SP is from this forum.
Not that VO taught Us but from idea sharing on this forum.

He never said He should drop timeline and documents submitted instantly.
When He had the PPR , He should have shared also for others to learn. His mistakes might be helpful to some other people coming thru.

Then everyone knowledgeable will be eager to help His concern.
@Ketima still answered Him/Her with ideas…

We are One.

Regards.

ForevaTT:
I'm not sure if you're an , but even if you are, why would you make such a snap judgment about someone you've never met?
There's no rule dictating that you have to return right away, or at all to "testify".
Let's not forget that what someone submitted to get a PPR does not guarantee the same approval for another person.


If no rules were broken, feel free to express your thoughts pertaining to his/her question without ing judgment.

Sorry about that.
It’s just a Delay. You will bounce back.

(1) Post a screenshot of the generic refusal reason so that house can deduce what could cause it and how much is required to tackle…
Some generic reasons are straight forward if you applied yourself, you might know why.

When I got my delay, I knew what could cause it and I started tackling before my GCMS note came out.
I was just unlucky to find this trend almost 3 months after submission.
(2) Order for your GCMS note… This will give the exact reasons for VO’s concern.

All is well.

Regards.

Application refused today but we thank God for life

Final Picture ��

Scott99tish:
If you look at attached thoroughly, you will see that every stages has different ID.

AH03849 only updated when it got to refusal ground.
And if you check all refusal ground that has to do with finance, it’s always AH03849.

I really believe that is not used by a singular person but a district that have issues with Finance.

Another way is to get GCMS of someone who was not refused based on finance at all but another ground…

God help us all.

Regards

Omiinii:
Are you sure? If they are a department then there should be a systematic method of operations so if these body are the ones responsible for the financial aspect. We should all so have a body that are responsible for the round up and the review. In other words this particular body will be issuing the approvals.hence we would also be looking at approvals if most approvals are from a particular code Maybe you're right. But you already said your file was moved form one ID to another kindly share pictures of the ID and let's figure this thing out

My application was created by EAIMEL.
Assigned to many ID by many ID till it got to AH03849 that refused me for Finance…

I have strong believe that they are body thah address financial issues

I’ve not seen anyone approved by AH03849.
Someone cannot be so heartless to have 0 approval in life

Bobomaigida:


I think it is an individual, cos some applications that she/he has refused were considered solid, while we have see some applications not as solid get approval. I suspect she has implicit bias against Nigeria applicants.

Wait o, what if the person na Nigerian

Exactly my view.

I think that ID (AH03849) is not singular key but a body/branch that deals mainly on any concerns with SOA.

They are like department that scrutinize financial complain on SOA.

I’ve been thinking this for a while but I kept mute because people kept referring the ID to VO.

eclint:
Can one principal VO handle all the applications from naija? I doubt he/she is the only one.

Canada journey is grace. They can under 1 month and some took 6 months.
I’m sure you’ve seen a year on this forum.

You’ve done the best thing, Booking of Upfront Medical and continue praying for Grace to hasten up your application Positively.
There’s no fix timeline.

Amazeballz:

Hello please I wanted to know how long it took to get your medical request letter. I want to know because the next available appointment for an upfront medical is in December and I wanted to do an upfront medical just incase. Unfortunately they don’t have any available closer date.

This is the best.
Can this be compared to how much you’ve spent on this journey?

Abeg make e no pain you.
Just count it as Seed Sowing.

Regards.

Jay316:
thanks.eventualy I had to pay extra 12k for rebooking cos prices has gone up by 12k. I was so angry but they gave me an option of refund which will come in 1 months time.I just paid d 12k and left..

True, very correct that some didn’t pay and they were granted.
No 2 application are same.

But what you should note is that since you had refusal the first time, You should have made a difference in the school payment to elevate more commitments. I think.
Those that got without paying is on first attempt. Lucky out.

From what I’ve seen, Re-application are scrutinized thoroughly and quickly.

In conclusion, request for GCMS note as this will give you exact reason.

Regards.

HakHim:


For the home ties.... I used my parents, my siblings and also my fiancé as home ties also includes pictures of the both of us in there. And why I will want to come back to meet her after my study....I also included landed properties.... Also the business I am just starting.... About the school fees payment... The school requested I pay for first semester yes I could have paid full tuition but then we still have folks who didn't even make tuition deposit and got PPR....

Hi HakHim,

I think you focused only on the finance and not the other observation about Family ties in Canada and home country.

Another key note is; Since you have this huge fund owned by you, Why are you not paying the full tuition fees?

The VO might be concerned about someone showing huge sum with little commitment paid on program fees.

Please don’t forget to also tackle the Family ties in Canada and Home country. You can share what wa used…

My opinion.
Regards.

HakHim:
Hello good morning everyone good morning to all the gurus as well.

It will be a long post and please I really need guidance and help/ advice.

Kindly read.

I have gotten two refusals.

My first application.....

I applied first early this year. Self sponsored. 18M in three banks all statements attached, but had lump sum deposit in one of them (sold some assets).

HERE WAS THE REFUSAL REASONS

"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 in your family ties in Canada and your country of residence."

"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 personal asset and financial status."

REQUESTED GCMS....

HERE IT IS......

PA is self funded. Employment letter shows PA makes 16,000 annually. Funds provided are not commensurate to PA income. Transaction on bank statement shows lump sum deposit. Source of funds unknown. Concerns about funding. Bank statement to be verified.

{[/b] please note that in my SOP I stated there the businesses that I do I attached CAC OF MY COMPANY I ALSO PUT THE RECEIPT OF ALL EQUIPMENT THAT I HAVE FOR MY BUSINESS, so my only source was not just my salary, but I think I was judged based on only my salary as my only source of income}[b]

HERE IS THE REPORT FROM IMMIGRATION AND BORDER CANADA

"I have reviewed the application. the applicant is seeking to study in Canada. I am not satisfied that the applicants will leave Canada at the end of their stay as a temporary residence. I note that the client is single, mobile, is not well established and has no dependents. taking the applicants plan of studies into the documentation provided in of the applicants financial situation does not demonstrate the funds will be sufficient or available. I am not satisfied that the proposed studies would be a reasonable expense weighing the factors in this application I am not satisfied that the applicant will adhere to the and conditions imposed as a temporary residence. For this reason above I have refused this application."

SECOND APPLICATION.....

I submitted LOE, I explained the source of income, I gave a detailed financial table that shows how much I make from each equipments and how much I have in the bank. I used a sponsor this time around he has 13M balance and sent me 2.6M for my first semester tuition.

I paid first semester tuition. I still submitted my personal bank statement of 17M. They verified my bank from the first application and I also reminded them that the funds are still very much there seated for months now that it is mine....

Yet I still got a refusal ... Here is the reasons again from my refusal letter. I just requested for my gcms note

"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 in your family ties in Canada and your country of residence."

"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 personal asset and financial status.".......


Please can you advice or let me know what next to do.... As I have addressed the concerns from the first application I even used a sponsor this time around.....

They love Nigeria that much. That’s how some people will be sharing flyers on the road of Lagos, promising to give you a Huge paying factory or cool job.
Yet they are walking under Hot sun sharing flyer

Ketima:


people have a cunny way of advertising . I love his/her advert technique. They give assured jobs in Canada in 3 months or less and they are here huzzling for clients. Canada no the sweet them too? Yeye people. lol

Sponsored Accommodation and Flight ticket alone is making me laugh out loud.

Talk less of the assured duration: 3 months.
Reading this makes Travel looks so easy.
Lagos to PHC alone is not easy like this…

JAPA

Blurpy:
Can this be really true?
