I applied from Poland.

I almost gave up about studying in Canada because I had stories about challenges applying outside Nigeria but someone in this forum encouraged me, even when I find it difficult to provide a good SOA. All I provided was my retired dad's statement with just 500k. Though the PhD is funded but just approximately 17CAD per year.
To those still awaiting approval never give up, I would also help with prayers am also available to help review SOP, this would reduce the burden placed on the gurus in the thread.

Bros have u any alternative route to my above concerns

khasm:


The truth is, you did not include home tie to yourself..your years of experience seems too little, no SOA, not married, no Kids, c'mon.no property doc

I am not saying without all these you cannot get visa,but chances are slim. Since you have left the gap for purpose of visit in your first app., you must clear the concern, cause every other VO will check.

The only way you can address the concern with this your profile is if you can convincingly explain to the VO the connection between you and your parents property and investment doc, i.e lettting them know you are the heir,etc..just think through it.

otherwise,let your circumstance change before reapplying

Hello boss,

The colored might not necessarily be the case.

Although every application is treated different but you cannot tender what you don't have as home tie. The home ties he presented are what he has and that should fly. I only showed my dad, mum and siblings as home ties without even submitting their birth certificates or anything linking me to them and I got approved, all thanks to God.

However, the main reason @ aade5 got rejected is because the VO is not satisfied he is a bona fide student and would leave Canada at the end of his studies even though he has funding

@aade5, what is the content of your SOP? How did you link your bachelors, work experience, your intend programme and your future goals? That is what the VO is missing in this case.

I would suggest you order your gcms notes, to see the details of refusals.

Sorry @aade5 for the refusal.

You will get it next time

Cheers...

Mazi

Good afternoon Gurus in the house, Am new here. I need your help and will like to be added to the TRV hopefuls. I was admitted to Regina University Fall 2017( Masters in humuan resources management) I submitted my documents on 26th of May 2017 (paper)Tracked my application via vfs global lagos and it says your application is being processed. Is there other ways I can check my status? Please help

Na wa o bros, this your analysis though!

Well, Purpose of visit is exactly what it is 'your purpose of going to Canada and Circumstance(s) surrounding that singular definition and intention'. As you may also know, the refusal letter has other reasons of not satisfying an officer and each will serve the purpose it was ticked(although, IRCC have been ticking anyhow these days)

So to a very large extent, purpose of visit always surrounds intended program, prior event leading to that choice, the advantages of it, how it will highlight convincingly a claim of studying and returning back home, the viability of the propose program as well as the surrounding circumstances to ensure that primary intent of study will be met. More of why you are going to Canada and events that will surround your study in Canada.

Officer's note regarding a refusal on purpose of visit will most likely have lines of " not a genuine student who intend to complete study and depart, proposed program not logical with previous education or employment etc"

So the points you raised will largely fall under 'home ties' 'personal asset' and financial situations. They are provisions to raise concerns in these light.

Like most people have already mentioned, the GCMS note will throw more light to the refusal. My only concern is that some GCMS file i have seen lately have been erroneous and also misleading. I just hope in this case, it highlight the exact reasons for the refusal.

Not really, U can call them on phone.

Boss,

People have different perspectives as to why they want to further their studies. For some, it might be for a career in academia or research while for others it might be for "office duties" or needed to boost their current employment or seek other careers.

More so, research based/project based courses gives you the ample chance for a hands on experiment on the issues relating to your field. This boosts your morale and confidence too in most cases.
Course based courses might also give you a life in research but it is always advisable if you have the opportunity for a research/project based courses, take it. It is better to start early.

At the end of the day, it depends on your end game...


Thanks,

Mazi...

I applied online, followed all necessary recommendations I received from Nairaland. And my SOP equally helped. Thanks to Mazi for reviewing my SOP.

Meaning all my supporting docs can come from Nigeria am actually going for masters.

OmalichaUC:

On your way to Lekki Ajah, stop at IKate Bus stop which is the next stop after admiralty. You ll see GTBANK road entry design by your left (coming from Mainland through Ikoyi). At that same left GTBANK gate, you ll sight a huge brown edifice. It called MANOR HOUSE. Drive towards there. You ll see the rest.
It was initially difficult for me too but I had to employ Google maps.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Well said.
But my observation is a pointer to the total packaging of the app.
Also note that, purpose of visit and home tie are interwoven, in the sense that, if i dont have something tangible to come back to in nigeria, that means i may not want to depart, hence, the purpose of visit can stick out...that is the thinking or assumption of the VO, atleast to nigerians.
As you have pointed out, its not just proposed program being in line with previous education and/or employment.
Just my opinion anyways.

My opinion....applying outside Nigeria isn't a good option, Phd students usually get preferential treatment and I see that as the case of Mr Jude, since you are considering masters, I think it's not the same case, my 2cents...over to the gurus

true.....but with coursework no need for all the supervisor bullshit. from what i have read getting a supervisor determines your chances of approval.
that's just another hurdle if you ask me

Good day House,

I have a question please:

**I am at the verge of submitting a Federal Express Entry application. However, I am also going to apply for a Study Permit for a Masters program early 2018 that I intend to pursue in Canada. (Whether the Express Entry falls through or not).

My question:
Will I have issues with getting approval for my Study Permit application if I declare that I have an application in the express entry pool?

Thank you

jnyuwa02:


EE application has no bearing on your TRV application. No you won't have any problem and as a matter of fact, nowhere on the TRV application are you required to disclose such an informatiion.

Thank you Jnyuwa02,

I am talking about STUDY PERMIT, not TRV.
I just need to be doubly sure that EE application will not adversely affect my STUDY PERMIT application
I appreciate your contribution all the same. Thanks.

Hello Please I need help on how you went with your visa application. I plan to go for masters next year but was thinking of coming home to apply. Am suppose to apply via poland.

What's your status in Poland? if you are there for studies or a permanent resident I will advise you apply from there as their processing time should be less than that of Nigeria but if you went there for visit then come back and apply from Nigeria

Hi Great Nairalanders,

Someone should please send the link for IELTS preparation materials on this site.

Tnx very much.
