For those that submitted their port to vfs recently after visa approval, can you put me through on how to go about it. Can I use DHL or ups to send the port? I don't live in Abuja or Lagos and the Biometrics was done in Abuja.

Hi @Omosimi31,

Did you order your gcms note before reapplying? How did you tackle the refusal reasons on your first application? I was refused based on same reason as yours.

Omosimi31:
It’s PPRrrrrrr

Timeline:
Second time applicant;
First application, April 22nd. Refusal came in June 3rd 2022.

Refusal reason: Financial Status and Personal Assets and purpose of visit.

Second Application submitted on July 21st .
Medical ed: Aug 5, 2022
Eligibility started: Oct 11, 2022
PPR: 13th October 2022

All thanks to God and thank you so much @Showyoung for helping and guiding me through the second application. The wait is finally over��

Good morning all, my study visa was refused based on the following reasons below :


--The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.

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


How do I tackle it, so that I can reapply? I have already ordered my gcms notes.

Congratulations

MJ1000:
IT IS PPPPRRRRRR!!!!!!
Baba God your daughter is grateful!!!!


HAAAA THIS FEELING IS GOOD
May we all feel this way

Thank you but 490 is too much, can I pay 470? I'm paying for family of 5(785cad)

Anon123:


It's can't work with your normal debit card cos of the $20 limit to all naija cards.

If you are okay. I can pay for you at $1cad to #490.

Please any other means to pay for study visa application. I have tried GTB naira Master card it's not going. I don't have dollar debit card.

I booked for my medical at IOM Abuja on 12 July not knowing that day is public holiday, I have been calling and sending emails to confirm from them but they are not responding. Is there anyone here that did his or her medical at IOM on public holiday?

Okay thank you.

Hello chytai,

Go ahead and apply alongside with his VV. Likely one (previous) will be withdrawn

Please I want to ask some questions.

My spouse applied for Visa on April to attend a conference in June and June have ed and no decision was made on his application, now I want to apply for study permit and I will like to apply for VV for him. So I want to know if i can go ahead and apply for him not minding his previous application.

Note: His previous VV is still pending, no decision yet.

Congratulations. I want to ask, did you withdraw your hubby's previous visit visa application before reapplying with him again?

My Story
This dream started in 2011 during NYSC and with no one to finance my study abroad plans, at that time, I didn't know about Canadian schools with full scholarship as I finished with a 4.17 CGPA. So I aborted mission in 2014 when I got a better job.
Thou from 2011, I had started saving aggressive for my immigration plans, in between then and now, I have travelled to the US twice and once to Canada for holiday. The plan was to build travel history and migrate legitimately.
Imagine my shock when I got my first study permit refusal Jan this year.

Got gingered in 2017 when my Sister and her family were reallocating to Canada via PR, started the process, score not sufficient for ITA, took a PGD course in 2019 to boost, while waiting for ITA, age took off points, then Covid happened in 2020. I decided to try Canadian visit visa since they were favouring family of PR and Citizens, so I applied and got the visa in 2021. Went to Canada and fell in love with the place and people.
It was during this trip I started to consider other routes of migration to Canada, then the study pathway came up during my research. I looked it up on Nairaland, found this thread when it was in part 18 and started reading and following people's stories.

I got ission to Fanshawe for Jan 22, defered to May 22 cos of late payment of deposit. I wanted hubby to come with me, so I delayed applying for study permit till Nov21 while he applied for visit visa in Oct, then the waiting started for both of us.
I was so sure I will get the visa as I still had a valid Canadian visit visa and been to the USA twice, but that didn't count ooo cos I got denied on the 30th Jan22.
Honestly I panicked! The only reason they gave was personal assets and financial status, I was shocked because I paid tuition deposit, had N12m statement, earn over 500k monthly, N2m Sukuku bond. I ran to Nairaland, opened this and solicited for help. I got several reponses, thanks to everyone.

What I did differently
Requested for my GCMS using my sister's email. I know this will take 30 days so I used the wait period to pay my tuition balance via form A and bought 12kCAD GIC. Also, during the wait, I went to renew my international port as it was expiring in June. Unfortunately, my BVN was in my husband's name so I had to do change of name before port could be renewed. All these activities took my mind off the visa refusal.
When the note came Feb ending, it showed the document submitted does not funds will be available or sufficient.
I reapplied 18th March and added my hubby to my application as we were yet to get response to his visit visa application that was submitted Oct21.
Documents Submitted
I applied via the new portal on the 18th of March
Study Permit (Mine)
SOP - stated strongly that I have fully paid tuition and bought GIC of 12k for my living expenses, talked about the course I am going for and how it will help boost my current career.
Mentioned my hometies: parents and other siblings, job (earn close to 600k, did not get letter from office but used my employment letter and payslip), hubby and the Sukuku bond.
BSC & PGD certificates and Car documents were also submitted.
Past visa pages with stamps to show travel history.
Financial Proof (self sponsored) - Full tuition fee receipts, GIC certificate, 4 months payslip, 4 months bank SOA with less than N3m balance, Pension SOA, Sukuku Bond certificate.

Visit Visa (Hubby)
SOP - stated he was going to help me settle, get accommodation and do the run around. Also that he having the visa will give him some form of rest of mind back home in Nigeria as it will enable him easily travel to me in case of any emergency I encounter over there.
Home Ties - his aged mother and siblings (he did not include their birth certificate or pictures), Job ( letter of introduction stating he is entitled to 25 days leave), 4 months payslip, Salary and Savings SOA (both combined were less than N2m)
Proof of Financial - SOA, payslip, my full tuition fee and my GIC certificate (both to show I am not a liability to him). My SOA ( I wrote a letter of that I will be accommodating him in Canada and also purchase his ticket), so my GIC of 12k was evidence of that and my SOA is were the flight ticket will be purchased.
We did a table in the financial proof letter to show he will handle his PTA N300k and indicated the that will come from. Also showed cost of the flight ticket which was about N515k and tallies with the holding ticket we attached, we indicated that will come from my own savings .
On invitation, he stated he was visiting spouse, he used Fanshawe address as the address he is visiting.
We attached an holding flight ticket, to show how much it will cost and his duration of visit (3 weeks).
Marriage certificate
He does not have any travel history.

After submission, we started waiting and hoping approval will come in April cos school resumes in May. I did not send any email, was just hoping and praying. Last week in April, I had to defer my ission again, I got the new LOA (Jan22) on the 13th of May. I sent it immediately via email and web to Nairobi, then 20th of May, BVL dropped for both hubby and I and PPR for hubby.
I wasn't surprised I didnt get PPR, recall I said my port was expiring in June. I still had not gotten the renewed port as at then.
Picked up my new port now in Hubby's name on the 26th May and sent it via webform and email to nairobi that same day. There was no response, a week after I resent it alongside my marriage certificate, change of name Affidavit and newspaper Publication.... Just to show its still me. Still no response, so I gave them two week....nothing.
I started sending weekly emails and webform to Abuja, Lagos and Nairobi...then yesterday BVL and PPR dropped and they both indicated my new name.
It ended in praise!

For those still waiting, it will surely end in praise.

Ps: My long story is just to encourage someone out there and for people to learn from my experience. This is my way of giving back to all I got here on Nairaland right from when I applied for my first USA visa in 2015 till this very day. .

Please for someone that studied Geology as bachelor's degree, what course can he do as PGD or PGC.


@lekiboboe

Okay thank you.

ShowYoung:


If you are staying for just one year, you can provide POF for just one year, but if you're going for 2 years, it is better you provide POF for 2 years.

Providing means of finance which is not readily available leaves you at the mercy of the visa officer which is always a slim chance.

Please if I'm going for 2 years program and applying with my family, do i have to show POF for two years or a year? And if I have fund for only a year and I'm ready to explain with evidence (blocks of rented shops in the city) in my sop that I have means of paying my remaining tuition and living expenses for me and my dependants for the remaining year will it be okay?


@showyoung @lekiboboe @frankrobbn1

You don't have to have to create any , after submitting your application they will send you an email containing your details, check your spam you will see the email, use the id and to .

I VERY IMPORTANT CLUES TO NOTE WHEN DRAFTING UR own SOP
https://nairaland.macsoftware.info/2367106/travelling-canada-part-8/103#35275420have tried all my best still can't create an to . Is directing me to a Microsoft page. Please help in anyway you can biko

Thank you

ShowYoung:


It is difficult but not impossible. If it were to be in the US, I would say it's very possible.

My advice is that you should have it in your mind that you are going for an undergraduate program, if per adventure you are able to get some course waivers, it will be advantageous. Meanwhile, you must be able to present your transcripts for the 3 years and statement of result in form of a notification of result which will state that you have completed 3 years out of 4 years.

Try and don't give up on your 3 years of rigorous study easily.

Okay, thank you.



I doubt if that is possibile, cos a school in Canada (be it University or College) will require your complete academic transcript and your certificate of completion showing that you completed your Bachelors degree before you can be eligible to apply for ission

Await additional response from others[/quote]

I have 3 years academic records from a university here in Nigeria, no degree Certificate because I didn't finish. Can I use it to get ission in to any of the colleges in Canada? I also have 6 years experience working as customer service representative in a private company.
