please does this mean i have been refused Canada visa..??

Phocusjosh:
Good evening fam,
I applied for my trv on 6 of September and biometrics done 8 of septemeber. I got refused today due to 'You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay. In reaching this decision, I considered several factors, including;
1. purpose of visit
2. limited employment prospects in your country of residence
3. your current employment situation
4. your personal assets and financial status.
Those are the boxes that were ticked in my refusal letter. I have attached this to this message.

My profile:
Msc. Agribusiness and Agricultural Economics at the University of Manitoba for winter academic session (January 1- 22).
I studied Agricultural Extension and Rural Development and graduated with CGPA of 4.80
I'm currently doing my NYSC which is rounding up in December 2017.

I got IGES worth $5400cad out of tuition fee of $10,200 for the first year. I paid in $3000cad.
Tuition fee for 2nd year is $750cad.

My sponsor is solely my dad with SOA of two accounts 2M plus at sterling and 18M at stanbic IBTC.

No upfront medical, no physical assets, no travel history.

Please gurus in the house, kindly advise me what to do next. I'm quiet confused of my next step.

Many thanks!

Sorry for the delay, God will grant you favour in your next application.
The first thing you need to do now is apply for deferral to the next available admission session (Fall) except if you want to risk reapplying immediately which I won't advice you do due to time.

Share the documents you submitted and your timeline so gurus can advice you on how to put in a more roboust application.

Lastly, apply for your GCMS file... Ire o

Scammers here must have contacted you to help, please DIY. Form A is how i paid my tuition, you could also get a dollar account tomorrow and make the payment tomorrow.

Plead for grace from Fanshawe.

Frankrobbn1:


Are you saying that you used GTB Naira Master Card for your tuition deposit(sounds fascinating) when has GTB Bank increased their monthly dollar limit above $1000)?.

Mind you, the fellow is not talking about application fees here but a tuition deposit of 2,200CAD, I doubt if GTB card will scale through.
Thank you so much was able to do form A today at gtbank thku stressful dunno why gtbank is given issues with pating deposite fee until you get admission letter but thank God i foundfavour waiting for 48hrs to track my.payment tru flywire thanks am grateful apploed for my dollar acct already to avoid srories that touch the heart in the future





I'll best suggest you make use of Form A since you already gotten the bank details of the school. Also make sure you have the naira equivalent of the amount involved(2,200CAD) in your bank account. It will easily scale through this method. But i also doubt if the payment will get to the school bursary today, been that today is the deadline. All the same Be positive minded.!!!

I hope this information helps.

Cheers!

Congratz @IGBOUWANILE, u be boss!! I dey ur back oh! Hopefully we will travel together, perhaps my application will be approved by Gods grace.

Markab:
Processing time for study permit... Hmmm

Phocusjosh:
I'm not even sure this CIC reads Nigerian applicants thoroughly. I provided employment letter and ID CARD, CAC documents of personal firm. Still refused based on employment prospects and personal assets.

Likewise a friend was also refused based on the same reasons though this 2nd refusal. She's married, letter of introduction from workplace, employment letter and as well husband personal assets inclusive.

The same University of Manitoba, different course, IGES funding. I applied 6th of sept and she reapplied 10th of September (previous denial was based on travel history and purpose of visit).

This is confusing

modupeesa:
i

mamacajah:

Bro, sorry about the outcome of your application.

Just like it's been mentioned already, you will need your GCMS file to best tackle the issues raised by the VO.
However, let me explain this aspect of "Employment prospect"

You were not refused for 'Current employment situation' which means your employment details,letter and ID served it's purpose in your application.

"Employment prospect in home country" in this case means the prospects of your proposed program in Nigeria upon completion. They have to see that the program you are going to study will be lucrative in Nigeria for you. If you had a future employment or had a business plan or even a study plan to explain or show how the master degree program would increase your chances of securing a better job upon graduation would have mitigated against that reason of refusal.

So the onus is on you to satisfy the officer that something tangable or lucrative moving forward awaits you in Nigeria when you finish your program. This issue is about the prospect of your field as regards employability after your program and not your current employment situation. It is expected that the master degree will move your career forward, you have to explain and evidence how this is possible and also why you have to study your program in Canada.

Phocusjosh:


At my PPA, I Work as a full staff and staff ID was issued because I go out to represent the company in several places.

N.B I never stated on my application that I'm doing NYSC (was silent about that).

mamacajah:


ok, that's much better. Somehow, while I will let the gurus talk more on this, I feel that work letter may have affected the process as the pay scale may not have been high enough. Aside that, we have seen the recent erratic behaviour by these VOs that predicting approval or refusal following solid applications is no longer straight forward.

I think you should have included your personal statement, even if you had gotten sponsorship and tuition waivers, especially when you included work factors in the mix.

As advised, for now, ignore all negative thoughts, request for your gcms notes, repackage and refire. it will end in praise.

Phocusjosh:


Thanks boss for your response.
I have an agribusiness firm registered already which I explained in my SOP . C.AC Documents was attached.

Philadelphia:
Goo evening everyone?
Firstly, I thank Almighty God for His goodness.
I just got accepted to McGill (M.Sc) for fall 2018. I am expected to make a $300 CAD non-refundable deposit.
I need advice, help and information on the following;
Do I pay only the deposit here and pay the remaining part wen I get there? If yes, how will this impact my application forbTRV?
Please how do I apply for TRV and CAQ?
What are the funding opportunities for Nigeruan students in McGill?
What documents do I need for TRV application and when do I submit my application?
PS: Annual tuition is $10,059.14 CAD.
Someone please give me the conversion of that in NGN.
Thanks.

I see. You also have not been involved in that and using it as a prospective would not mean that you will come back to it and it wouldn't just add up using that simply because you are not actively involved in the firm in any capacity aside owning it.


Maybe if you had shown contracts, transactions or activities relative to what you claim you have going on or would return to(your firm), it would reduce the officer's suspicion that you would not leave Canada after your program or that there is great prospect for you with your program at least with your firm/business.

It will make your purpose more deliberate. You need evidence than just writing. They just don't trust Nigerians completely, they believe any thing we say is a ploy to induce their judgment. Evidence would help more and because it can be used in a judiciary review process in a court should they make an error in law or judgement, it is treated with high regards than mere writing. Discretion is exercised when when an officer have to use the applicant's explanation and it can swing either ways. Noting beats evidence. They just can't help it. The IRP Act and regulation give complete accordance to evidence as a proof. The burden is will still be on you to satisfy the VO.

I'll suggest you wait for your GCMS file before you proceed with your reapplication. It will help you.

Regards.

Well said bros, the VOs may even see your firm as a mobile one that you can establish in Canada and such may not consider it as a genuine employment prospects that can cause you to return.

In addition to tackle employment problem, I think you didn't add your payslip and a letter of introduction from your office would have added to the list of evidences you provided.

You could also get a court affidavit of return to tackle the issue of returning on completion of program, I had the same issue during my application and that was what I used and God grant me favour, consider it too... Ire o
