Anyone still yet to receive ission decision from University of Saskatchewan fall 2023. The application portal still showing "complete". I applied since February. What can I do. I sent numerous mail but to no reply.

Wow! I know you are asking how long GCM takes, which is unpredictable. You can try the paid one or have someone in canada do that for you (that means you have to sign a consent form)

I am just curious.

1. Did you just submit the documents like that in POF without any explanation on the source of funds, receipts/pay stubs/ pensions on how these documents came about?
2. The BVL letter sent to you for rejection? what can you make out of it?what is the message?

ikennaex:
Hello good day everyone I am glad to this platform and bring my situation on here and I hope I can get solution to my problem. I applied for a study visa this August which I got rejected but my proof of funds was enough (29 million naira) from my sponsor (Father), a Tuition Deposit, Investment certificate and other documents and I still got refused. I have applied for the GCMS notes to know why I was Refused. Please does anyone here have an idea of how long it will take for the GCMS to be processed? any other helpful information would be highly appreciated. Thanks....

No it is not oooooooooo, he should also compare prices to Montreal instead of Toronto... I think it should be cheaper. Where ever he lands first in canada would be his POE, obtain his SP and move on to book connecting flight to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Congratulations

Ahaisibwe:
Hello Guys praise God l please wanted some advice for a friend he got his stamped port last week Friday and his school is in Halifax nova Scotia which will be resuming on 6th September but wants to book a flight by 4th of September to Toronto because there are no direct flights then proceed to Halifax l wanted to please know if its risky or not good to go one day before school starts and will it cause problems at the port of entry that he is going one day before school and ing through Toronto

I don't know of any...though I was told of a telegram group. You can always throw your questions here... there are always good people to guide you through.

Samueledes:


Hello everyone, is there any WhatsApp groups for University of Saskatchewan (U of S) international students ? Please

Ans1 Yes, definitely. also, check out NSE requirements from previous posts

Ans2 They didn't apply together, she left first in January, and her hubby last 2 months. It will look good on your SOP attachment, just distinct ones like specifying each year.

Ans3 Hope you have proof of the source of the funds, and explain how you made every penny. For home ties, she had her husband here, landed properties, and a cosmetic business that is still ongoing even as she has moved there to study. But we all know my bae ain't coming back here. She actually had some funds in her and then also other ones in her husband's . Which look good that both of you are committed to each other.

Not liability.

Sam2305:







Thanks so much for the swift response.

1)If ission takes 1 to 2 months ..meaning I will get ission offer letter by say Sept/October....which is 3 months to january start...if I then apply for visa say October ,will I still be able to meet January as I learnt student visa processing is 4 months



2) Did your friend and his/partner apply together or one person travelled first and then partner applied say 3 months later??...we have lot of pix as we started dating while she was in 200Level


3) For proof of fund,the money will be in my for both of us right and how did your friend EXPLAIN HOME TIES

Please don't stress yourself on the tracker, the important thing is that your application is in progress. Just keep faith and patient.

Please who submitted visa of recent and able to create tracker ooooo?

Gbola007:


Have tried using laptop, phones different network, but not successful yet

low moderate transactions could mean, you don't transact probably at all in your bank . Transactions means money went out or come in, transaction being low could mean you don't do transactions on that . So, you just leave the money there... You can at least for a while make a transaction with the like 'pay rent', 'repair services' etc... as captions to a friend or relative of yours that would send the money back into your but not the exact amount it can be more or less with captions like 'Way billed goods', 'supplied makeup kits' etc...like that. but note that the captions used to send or receive money must relate to the story story you would tell on your SOP & Proof of funds

very important, just be logical and realistics

StJohnKml:
Hello guys,
My second application was refused as stated in the other thread.
Grounds for refusal: "Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to the stated purpose of travel..."

I used my statement earlier and I observed from my CBSA notes that the VO mentioned that I had low to moderate transactions as the reason for refusal. I would like to ask, can I put all my money in fixed deposit and use the certificate to re-apply?

It still surprises me, you are still not able to create your own since August 03, which is on Wednesday. Have you tried using another device, probably like Laptop...maybe oooooo

Gbola007:


Kindly share here if you able to create for the tracker

Ans. 1. It is not too late. just check out enough school. Most ission process, I have withnessed here are within 1 - 2 months, as far as you have all pre-requiste documents needed for your ission reuirement for the programs you decide to go for.

Ans 2. In my own perspertive, the best time to apply for visa is only when you get your Letter of Acceptance (LOA i.e. ission Letter) from your school stating when you are starting your programs....brabra

3. Haaa, One of my friend that did this...I think they did court registry... to obtain marriage certification, pictures of you and her especially during your courtship like few years back...Then SOP to save your life and the big man Problem almost every one is having Proof of Funds

Sam2305:
Hello family,

Kenny4real68:
Greetings All,

my sponsor is a Catholic clergyman. His letter of ministerial work is from ROME and it’s written in LATIN Language. I intend to submit his bank statement, sponsorship letter and his work letter as POF

Please is it advisable to submit the Work letter with such language or is there a way to change it into English language? Also I heard that you can’t use normal translators and that it must be immigration approved translators which I have no idea about.

Please your advise would be greatly appreciated

Data science can be applied to any field, my dear. In the end, it's all about analyzing the dataset. So, what part of geophysics has the use of multiple data you can apply some data science methodology on? That's the relation you need to clear out... How to apply data science in your current field of study.

e.g. If I studied Business and I'm working in a bank. Obviously, the dataset can be in the form of customer data or money in a bank ...And data science can be used to understand these datasets and make projections and predictions... plus the fact it is a sought-after job and would boost your career

feranmisax:
I'm currently a student of Applied Geophysics (B. Tech) and will be complete next April. I want to ask if it's possible to change my career path for a master's in Canada because I would love to study Data Science. I have some certifications as a Data scientist and I've done some jobs too. Will I get ission and hope it won't affect getting visa process. Thank you.

PPR Alert!

2nd time applicant.

1st application was denied based on financial assets. I was very disappointed as I thought my profile and financial history was good enough to get PPR.

My guru @Makano advised we order for GCMS and quickly re-fire. So we ordered for the notes, it came back and we gathered that the VO had issues with lump sum on my statements.

So we quickly adjusted my SOP and provided explanations plus verifiable receipts for the lump sum, and reapplied again.

As God may have it, application was approved.

For the various sections where we are required to documents on the IRCC portal (e.g. LOA, Marriage License), I started with an Introduction, followed by Table of Contents.
The Table of Contents have hyperlinks to the respective documents attached. I also included hyperlinks to take the VO from the attached documents back to the Table of Contents.

Please note, some of the documents I attached are unnecessary e.g. COVID-19 vaccination card.

• WES evaluation report.
• NYSC certificate.
• Evidence of Previous investments which had been liquidated (Education Plan for me and the kids, Shares that have been sold, Monthly Savings Plan with an Insurance Company, Investments with some Investment Firms). I stated that the proceeds were invested in other ventures and form a bedrock of funds being used for my studies in Canada.

• Drivers' license.
• NIN slip.
• Updated CV (Nigerian style).
• Staff ID Card.
• Letter of Introduction from my employer.
• Study leave approval from my employer.
• Introduction letter from my local Church.
• Letter of Ordination from my Church.

MARRIAGE LICENSE/CERTIFICATE
• Marriage Certificates (Church and Court).
• Name change publication for spouse.
• Birth certificates for the kids.
• Over 50 pictures (during courtship, during wedding, during the christening of our kids, pictures with spouse at a volunteering event, family photographs). I cropped the pictures and put an average of 3 pictures on each page. Also, I sequenced the pictures such that they tell our family story from inception.

CLIENT INFORMATION
Here, I included a background that the property owned by my spouse would be included under her application for OWP. Then, included a Table of contents and attached the following documents, which could not be added in other sections due to file size constraint.
• Land Documents (Receipts, Sales Contract, Deed of Assignment, Survey, Advert showing an increase in the price of the land)
• Documents for 2 cars.
• Mum's International port. (I showed her visa page and some travel stamps, since me I no get travel history).
• Affidavit/Birth certificates for some of my siblings.
• CSCS Statements for Stock/shares inherited from my late dad who died over 20 years ago. (The shares are still in my dad’s name. I explained that my family intends to obtain a Letter of istration and these shares will be captured therein).
• My picture with my CEO and an EXCO member at an official outing.
• Training Certificates.

PROOF OF MEANS OF FINANCIAL
• SOP (9 pages). I tried to reduce it but my story long.
• Documents relating to the Payment of 50% initial deposit ($17,900 CAD).
• Documents relating to my current employment (employment letter, confirmation, promotion and 4 months’ Pay slips).
• Evidence of Available/Dedicated Fund:

I provided Explanatory Notes on 3 bank s.
1. My salary (where I deposited our naira POF)
2. My USD (where we deposited our dollar POF)
3. My spouse’s salary (Here, I just stated that this is her salary ).

Under each of the , I explained salient points such as lump sums that I wanted to VO to be aware of and included relevant documents e.g. bonus letter from my employer.
For my naira and my wife’s salary , I provided bank statements for exactly 4 months but for the USD , I provided statement for 1 year because it was just a 2-page document and I wanted to convince the VO that the was legit even though I had only a few transactions on it.

Asides these, I included an addendum which belongs to my spouse.
We created and liquidated several Fixed Deposit investments in that and sizable part of our POF came from this addendum .
Asides the bank Reference letter, I also included the statement because I felt it would better convince the VO. The had a rather unusually high transaction volume in 4 months and a balance of just N500k.
I carefully explained the meaning of some terminologies used on the statement too e.g. FD booking.

• Letter of Introduction from my Pension Fund .
• Investment Certificate and statement from an investment company for an existing investment (the letter clearly states that my wife and I have an unrestricted access to the funds).
• Deed of Partition and evidence of rental income on the property inherited from my late date


I included several hyperlinks on my SOP, my wife’s SOP and the cover letters for the kids. For instance, where I mentioned key words such as “Institute of Chartered ants”, Pension Reforms Act, 2014 etc., I ensured that they were modified to be hyperlinks, which would take the VO to the respective websites. I did this so it is easy for the VO for confirm the various terminologies/claims/entities independently.

My spouse and I have no travel history. Therefore, I stated in my SOP that we have been saving consciously towards my studies overseas, so we denied ourselves several luxuries such as travelling on vacations.

Just to mention, asides the funds that were available in bank and investment s, I stated that I would be saving specific amount towards my masters program from my subsequent salaries and 13th month allowance.
And that in the period, my family will depend on my wife’s salary and the balance from my own salary (I had previously established the fact that my wife and I save and invest together. Moreover, all my salary and allowances go straight into her based on my bank statement history).
