Good day all,

Pls i need an nurgent advice.

I got ission to study Global business management in centennial college (2yrs course). i have a challenge that i need advise for.

I have a wroking experience of 5yrs and my salary is 100k per month (aside normal side cut from office with isnt official). sometime in 2016 i applied for an american visa and i was denied. i used an agent and he filled 274k as my salary den. Now i am about to apply for for my student permit, my sponsors are my late fathers younger bro and my elder bro, my elder bro has a hotel, a construction company that is doing well and other properties, while my uncle has proterties too. my issue now is that if i use my salary will it not affect my chances of getting the visa based on my ed record with d american embassy? i have more than a million naira in my salary acct and i intend to pay my fees before applying for the visa, the funds will be transaferred by both my uncle and my elder bro. or should i move all the money in my salary to my other .

Pls kindly advise

My 2kobo on this but still up for opinions, salary or American visa denial doesn't affect your chances on a canadian visa..just let the VO know that u were denied an American visa b4..

Yes either of the two can transfer the amount for the tuition fee to your own ...but u have to state it on your sop, to showing they are ready to sponsor your canadian journey..u can use your salary as long as the SOA can be printed and has your name on it...

Hello everyone, Congratulations to myself on securing a place at Smith School of Business, Queen's University to study Masters of Finance(MFIN). I got my ission decision from the schools ission committee yesterday.

My next priority now is to get study permit from CIC. I plan to submit online application next week and I am wondering[b] if I would secure the permit before June 10th 2019 because my resumption is 21st June 2019.[/b] I pray that Almighty God who I Trust in will answer me by fire in JESUS NAME.

Please advise on the possibility of getting permit within this time frame and counsel me on the best approach to follow.

Many thanks for your .

Thanks alot..

But @042viber12 already stated i applied last year. It does not matter exactly when I applied naaa. That is by the way.
My issue is how to interpret the notes, and for me to request GCMS, then you should know that my application is way past average processing time.

Qudkom:

I understand. I just needed to know when he submitted and all.

Congratulations on your ission. It's possible to get your visa before the said date(mine was 6weeks 4days and someone was about a month here recently) just ensure you documents are clear and unambiguous. Are you sponsoring yourself? Either case ensure the bulk of the funds is in your .

bro did you apply online? This online apps is getting me confuse.

DMerciful:
I did. It's quite straightforward actually. PM me I can put you through

I have done that bro... please reply

Thanks for your response, GOD bless you !

Qudkom:

It's a two way street. A VO might look at your application and think
1. why is he/she applying for another msc and think you are trying to use it to get into Canada hence, not a bona fide student.
2. Why would you deviate into art and all of a sudden you want to go back into it. Most especially when you already stated your interest in politics
3. A detailed SOP might be in your favour and help you convince the VO. Which means you might just be favoured.

Lastly, for the sake of getting declined on the basis of "Purpose of Visit" I will advice that you make calculated plans which might include you choosing to declare your msc credentials or not. All the best.

This is noted. Thanks

Hello
Sorry for this delay in processing. Here’s what I’ll do if I were you: i’d send them an email copying every other visa office’s email address I know; i’ll tell them my study permit application is almost at its one year mark; i’ll tell them this wait has taken its toll on me psychologically and mentally; i’ll tell them it’s irresponsible for a government organization that prides itself on organization and promptness to be this tardy and incompetent (believe me i’ll say all these because at this stage I have nothing to lose); i’ll tell them i’ll be expecting a better and more helpful response from them, one that gives me a proper idea of my application status.

PS: if you don't want to use tardy incompetent, you can look for synonyms that won't be glaringly insulting.
I know this would seem extreme and risky, but some risks are worth taking. The worst it can get is getting denial, then you re-apply if you want to.
Good luck.

How on earth can you ask someone to say that to a visa office. A VISA IS A PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT!!!!! I can guarantee you that if you say that they will not only reject the application they will flag the applicants name. I really can't believe you just sai this. And to the concerned party please be patient by the grace of God it will end well.

I just read a very disturbing post about criticising the canadian immigration center for "incompetence and lack of organisation". I know it's extremely painful for an application to be delayed and can derail plans and other life progressions. We need to understand that a visa isn't a right it's a privilege. If you happen to be in this situation you can send them emails every month till you get a favourable response by the grace of God. Lastly, lets not put all our eggs in one basket we can try other countries like , Australia, New Zealand, Ireland etc. and why we are waiting for responses let's try and envlolve ourselves in learning viable skills that van benefit out careers or help us when we finally settle down in our favoured destinations.

Lol... you're actually screaming at your phone. El Oh El. "You really can't believe I said this"? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
A visa is a privilege; I agree, BUT when an application which should take at most 22 weeks is at almost 40+ weeks, then that's tardiness and been irresponsible, visa being a privilege be damned! A spade should always be called a spade. What I wrote to him can be written in a way that the words making your BP rise will be veiled, and one has to read between the lines to see them. But, let your BP continue to rise, I still stand by what I wrote.
xoxo.


Do whatever you want, but do it vehemently.

IbikunleBukky:
Not correct in the case of canada, you can apply outside your home country if you have a legal stay where you are. e.g A Nigerian visiting UK can apply from UK for a canadian visa. when you check CIC they will tell you its possible, but best you apply from your home country. but i have heard nigerians applying outside nigeria.

you both are correct and actually saying the same thing. What @042Viber12 meant was a "legal status," and he wasn't "totally incorrect" as claimed

I fully your position. You get to a point when no more damage can be done and you respond appropriately. When I got a provisional ission, I was required to fulfill certain conditions to get the letter of acceptance. I sent several mails to the issions officer in charge of my case without getting any response and time was of the essence. I had to escalate to a higher ission officer with both in copy telling him how worried I'm having sent several mails without response. Believe me he apologised and fixed my ission immediately. For goodness sake the visa application fee is not free! It's for a service and it's irresponsible to fail in your end of the bargain. Even if you're going to deny, do it with dignity and not silent treatment! So if I was in this position, I will tell them it's totally unacceptable!

PS: here's what I sent to them when my application was exactly 20 weeks. Cc @henkubert

"To Whom It May Concern,

My online study permit application is now in its 20th week, without any update since the biometric confirmation was updated. I want to know what is happening to my application which was submitted in July. Why has there been no word from your organisation especially as the application processing time as at the time of submission was 9 weeks. It’s taken twice as much as that time, and not a word indicating the organisation cares about this delay."

I got a reply to go for my medicals two days later. Got my visa like 2 weeks later.

Do whatever you want, but do it vehemently.

I quite agree with you. A visa isn't a right, yes we know it's at the discretion of the VO or the issuing country whether or not all requirements have been satisfied. However, besides fulfilling entry requirements, the applicant has to pay a processing fee which now makes it a transaction. Also, each visa category has got processing timelines usually stated on their website. What that means is that with each visa application, we pay a processing fee for the consulate office to sort through our documents to check for eligibility within the specified timeline. The applicant fulfils their part of the transaction by paying the visa processing fee as well as submitting requested paperwork for the application. On the other hand, the consulate office fulfils their part of the transaction by giving a decision on the visa application within the specified time frame. Anything outside of this is a breach of transaction. The only exception to this is when the consulate office releases a disclaimer stating that processing times may vary and is at the discretion of the consulate office or VO. Even at that, there should be periodic correspondence between the consulate office and the applicant during this period.

In essence, I think I your proposition. A moderately toned letter can be sent citing the psychological and emotional distress encountered by the applicant during this exhausting wait period. Our problem in this part of the world is that we are scared to speak up for our rights for fear of rebuke or onishment. Behaviours we term as arrogant are viewed as confidence in developed countries.
