I will like to encourage readers with my abridged testimony. Please never lose hope regarding your dream.

My profile:

In 2013 after working in different Nigerian banks spanning over 10 years, I became frustrated and need a better life for my family. At close to 40 years old, I decided to leave my banking work and pursue Masters degree abroad. Yes, you are right, if you think that I am crazy because so many people thought I was then. However, as I said, I need a better life for my family.

Previously, I had an undergraduate degree in sciences from Nigeria with second class (2:2). In 2013, I applied to 4 universities in Canada and I was rejected in all the universities because of low GPA. A Program Administrator in one of the universities told not to waste my fund applying to universities because of my low GPA but I should focus on my job. I was depressed for a while but I decided to pick myself up and move ahead.

In 2014, I took both GRE and TOEFL and applied to 5 universities in USA. Again, I got rejection letter from all 5 universities. I was depressed but I picked myself up and moved ahead the second time. I applied to another set of 4 universities in USA and to the glory of God, I got accepted into all 4 universities. Fortunately and as God will have it, I got full tuition waiver and stipends in one of the universities. In 2015, my wife and I applied for F2 and F1 visa (US study visas) which was approved together by the grace of God. Please note, this is the same guy with low GPA and 9 rejection letter.

Fast forward to 2017, toward the end of my Masters program, I applied for PhD programs in both USA and Canada. Although, I had a few rejection letters from my PhD applicants but I got admitted into 4 top universities, 2 in USA and 2 in Canada. To crown this testimony, all the universities were funded with very generous stipends which are adequate to take care on my family living expenses.

Today June 15th 2018, both my wife open work permit and my study permit were approved after 3 weeks of application (since we are applying from US).

Lesson to learnt:

1) Never lose hope. Miracles do happens. Always believe.

2) Never let your past define your future. Your past is gone and you don't have control over it again, however, your future is still ahead and you can control it. Therefore, focus on what you can control.

3) Never let anything or anyone stop you from achieving your dream. Obstacles are part of life, nobody, low or bad GPA should not stop you . When you fall, please stand up, dust yourself, reload and move forward. Quitters never win and Winners never lose.

4) Never let age put a limit on your dream. I started my masters degree at the age of 40 years and 16 years after having my BSc degree. Now, I have master degree from a reputable university and should complete my PhD degree in next few years. You can always achieve your dream at any age if you are resilient and persistent.

5) Follow your dream no matter the challenges. Redirect your steps if one is not working and keep pushing forward.

6) Above all, HOLD ON TO GOD AND KEEP BELIEVING IN HIS AMAZING POWER, GRACE AND MERCY. His is a miracle working God and He will always come through for you.

I do hope that I am able to encourage myself with my abridged testimony.

Hi everyone! I don't know how to start but I will somehow.

I've seen people here get admissions into Canadian Unis be it for BSc, MSc or Certification programs. Some eventually get TRVs, some denied.

However, my own case has been rather worse. I've been denied admission 3 times: 2 by Uni of Saskatchewan and one by Uni of Manitoba.

Just for information, I graduated with a 2,1 in Biochemistry in one of Nigerian fed Unis. Had 98 in TOEFL (even when it is not needed most the Unis).

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

sanjay01,

Sorry about your refusal.

The major reasons for your refusal was based on purpose of visit and Immigration status in country of residence.. Going through your profile, I noticed that you're heading for a second masters degree in Canada. How was your SOP like, was there any justifiable reasons to why you're going for a second masters degree in Canada at this stage in life instead of a Phd to show progression. Your SOP will go a long run to tackle your purpose of visit and intent to study.

Immigration status in country of residence:
If you're not holding a work permit or a study permit in Malaysia, you don't have the legal status to apply for a student visa to Canada from there. You will always be denied if you keep trying to apply from Malaysia. You would be better off leaving Malaysia and applying from outside of Canada (i.e Nigeria). You have a higher chance of approval if you apply from your home country.

The rest of the refusal grounds current employment situation, personal assets and financial status can be tackled using this medium THE REST OF YOUR REFUSAL GROUNDS

All the best!

Kindly assist with this question @frankrobbi, mxcobex, thisboy, going forward as many that want to contribute

mcobex:
1. Your wife don't need police clearance. And if cic needs it they will later request for it (so many main applicants have gotten trv without police report).
2. From what I heard it's like the family info form has been pushed aside, so you don't need to include your siblings. Most people use siblings and parents for the purpose of home tie.
3. Not compulsory as well, but if it will make your mind be at rest you can include her parents birth certs
