It takes the 'grace of God' to get canadian visa..
No matter how near-perfect ur apps/docs are, if any VO decide to fault u, he/she will..

darefestus:


Have you applied? when and what route?

hayqinsbFX:
especially if youre a complex applicant...

Team12:
I think this "family ties in Canada and Nigeria" has become a default reason for refusal o. I don't gerrit

Plus I noticed most people on this forum are going to Ontario. Could it be that they have a limit to the number of people that should be accomodated in a province for a period? Why the refusal letters of late

Ugochux:

hayqinsbFX:
It's d truth that's hard to accept.

Another thing I'm thinking is the fact that canada introduced the Federal skilled worker program and express entry scheme for applicants that have a dream of working and staying in canada.
EE takes longerr than the study permit route.

So I feel they just kindof send any study permit applicant whose application is suspicious of being wanting to just migrate instead of studying back to apply through the EE route.

Just saying...

Thanks.

The Pan American games, women's World Cup and an election in a cpl of months. So they are probably getting a lot of visit request especially from South America, that should not have nothing to do with student visa though. One thing I've noticed is a bit of an influx of rich international students from China and Saudi Arabia. Also, maybe since most naija students don't go back, they are tougher on naija students, I know a naija guy that got denied PR earlier this year.

Maybe looking for schools that are not close to major city might help. Did most of the people delayed apply to Toronto area schools?

hayqinsbFX:
Send me a PM...ill reply..then u can send ur message
Thanks

hayqinsbFX:
Ohh okay....

As you submitted your personal SOA....
I'm sure they will see that u paid the school fees from your account...this would consequently aid their speculation that ur maternal uncle might nnot be a REAL sponsor and u only used it for visa application purposes...
If you were a co sponsor it wud have erased that fact..

Team12:
I thought as much. Most people here are going to Ontario which is already very busy. Let's wait for the response for those going to other provinces to see if this argument holds water though.

Jakay:
That may not necessarily be the case since he stated in the sponsorship letter that he would be providing me with money to pay for the remaining part of my fees and other costs while in Canada.

'Family ties in Canada...' - according to our big bro here, solo8, most nigerians don't go back after studies.. So mayb VOs hv somehow concluded that we all hv families of there..lol!
Ehen, madam with d bulky docs, yu hv submittd abi? Congrats!!

Ugochux:


Its well bro...just address everything d ticked..
By the way, I need that your NAFDAC job oo..
Help a bro..lol

hayqinsbFX:
Yea it may not necessarilt be, buh u never can say..

As. Much as age is not a factor to gain admission into any school in canada....its arguable to say it plays a major role in the minds of the visa officers.

@darefestus
What was justicia going for...and how straightforward is her case different from others...

hayqinsbFX:
Personally ill say that doesn't hold water atall!
Because as busy as ontario onyeoma posted a link of the canadian government the other time which sayas that the economy of ontario is as risk due to the lack of skilled professionals..
If atall there's one thing which is that ontario isn't overpopulated... ....canada as a whole is even underpopulateed..

This is not as straight forward as you think. Canada is underpopulated but the greater Toronto area is growing at an incredible rate, people are constantly complaining about traffic during rush hr, house/rent prices(a lot of people are on the waiting list for govt subsidized rent) and jobs. We lack skilled workers but it is in very niche sectors, must of the skill most of the ppl from naija are bringing are not rare in Toronto. When they say skilled workers that just doesn't mean people that went to post secondary school, we are one of the most educated population in the world.

I don't know for sure but if it'll make sense to apply out of town where most other immigrants don't apply to. My family knows people at the Canadian consulate branch in PH but I don't know people that actually go through application or I would ask them myself.

Let's wait and see how the rest of the applications from people on the thread go though, it'll still be tough to know because everyone's case is so different.

Opesyy:
Whatever we say here are all based on assumption and speculations, you guyz shouldnt make it sound concrete like you're VOs. Lets not confuse people that are delayed, the delay as cofused them enough.
