Knowledge gathering isn't age specific/bound
It all depends on how she presents her case/application (story) to the VO. That being said, not granting admission to certain adults (35 above in this case) could be Centennial College's policy (yes, the tendency of visa rejection for such adults may indeed be high) therefore, she should try other institutions.

Thank you.

I think you're a guru yourself as you have been able to identify some possible reasons eg. bolded above. February isn't too early but I think you should present th house with more details to assist in fine-tuning your next attempt.
For example;the refusa
Have you been working?
Did you state you were going to sponsor yourself?
How did you fill the "funds available section"?
etc.

for the finance section I put
Tuition 22000
Accommodation 10000
Misc. 2000

My uncle was planning to pay for three terms this December (22000$)before I got the refusal. Although I plan to pay for three terms in my student acc. When am reapplying, does it sound desperate cos I have read people saying tuition cannot be paid easily by working 20hrs

Where I am studying is exactly where my Canadian family is is it wise if I just leave out the fact that I even know anybody in Canada?

That is exactly what I did. I didn't mention I have family there. So as not to make ties in canada stronger that home ties

michael1385:
Please can i use GTB naira debit mastercard to pay for my application fees to MUN, UofS and UM...because what i have on their site is credit visa or mastercard. please i need urgent response. thanks

I am not sure about the other two but U of S. Can't be paid with debit card. I had to ask a friend in Canada to do the payment for me. I even sent the credit card form via courier...it was declined.

I ll advice you do same to speed up the process.

I have the payment details which was sent to me by their applications department. I can send you that when you decide.

Yes you can. Even though, sometimes, the GTB naira mastercard's network is down. I know people that have paid with their Gtb naira card, if it gives you trouble, try another bank Card, preferably First Bank as they use different card server/platforms( or whatever they call it).
p.s: note that MUN states its payment portal is only open between 9am to 4:30pm our time.

whether I was accepted to study at the Canadian institution
2. Ability to lay for my trip and support myself
3. Whether am inadmissible in canada
4. Whether I would leave after my stay
Relationship with sponsor
1. Can you please state what your first degree was in and the programme you're going for? (If both programmes are related, I suspect this is a case of an incorrectly filled information on your form i.e your student number or Institution's DLI number etc. which can be easily rectified. For #2, ensure your uncle states why he's sponsoring you and how much will be made available to you annually. This should cover your flight to school as well ( in others). Also, include a notarised affidavit of sponsorship to back up the sponsorship declaration.
2. For reason #3; This is tied to 1 above. It shows the VO isn't convinced you're going to study. (incorrectly filled info again either in your questionnaire/form or both. (also easily amendable)
3. Reasons #4 and #5 are related. All you need to do is work on your home ties to Nigeria. If possible, have your uncle provide you his personal SOA instead of the company SOA you used previously.

The number of terms you choose to pay for is your choice and I don't think it shows desperation. Rather, it should be evidence of preparedness on your part to study in Canada (IMO). It depends on your perspective.

[edited] P.S- you could also request for your gcsm file to better understand the VOs mind.

michael1385:

I can give you the email address of the person I spoke with at the institution. You can confirm what I have said from her.

I tried using their online payment portal first then alternatively used the credit card form...wasted money on courier for nothing.

Let me have your email address.☺

Any one in canny, please help, i want to apply for my GCMS file please!!!!

I studied BSc Electrical engineering and I was given admission for Masters of Engineering in system and Machine intelligence which is related to my course work. My uncle only stated it's the social responsibility of the company as a reason. Lol. Am not the first they have sponsored sha.
I did my youth service at the Transmission company of Nigeria. I don't understand y they said that for reason 3, of course am going to study and I submitted my admission letter in my SOP I put my institutions DLI number and my student number. I stated specifically bonded in my SOP that I was returning to work here in Nigeria.
I will make sure he states how much he would be dropping. Also, must it be his Soa, the company is his. I submitted all the original documents of the company and his passport data page.

Lol, yes you know what your intent is but you have to prove this beyond doubt in your application.
Using your uncle's personal SOA is not a must but it may help to show close relationship between you both. Also, it's may seem weird for your uncle to feel and state he's sponsoring you to fulfil CSR. Are you a staff of his company? Even at that, You're his nephew!

Mehn dis wait can be killing sometimes but i know all is well expecting my approvail mail i know it must enter.

Please can someone help with suggestion suggestions for home ties. I'm not married neither do I have kids. I have two younger ones plus my mum and dad. But if I use dat as home tie I feel it isn't enough.

UWaterloo..U can have me as a course mate..lol

Thanks a lot boss.....u have a pm.

ceemac:


@emifemimi.. Will need your assistance in getting admission for Masters, same course in your same school... Kindly help a bro tho..

You'll have to send mails to profs in your area of interest; you need a supervisor before you can be offered admission. Go through the school website and department's website, all the steps needed are clearly stated. I'll advice you get a supervisor before applying though and start the whole process as soon as possible too. Took me 6 months to get my letter of acceptance. You can also be gathering docs u'll need for visa app at the same time.

I have said before that these reasons are not the reasons. Every refusal template starts with those generic write-ups. You just ended up confusing the guy the more cos what you both are focusing on is off-point.

Hello nairalanders, I just track my application now, and it's says my application has been dispatched.... what does dat mean, didn't get an approval mail, I was called for medical though, paper route... what does it mean?

I am sorry if I have offended you by being off-point. Yet, I fail to see how insulting me helps the person in question. You could have helped him a lot more by focusing on the issues you have so clearly observed I neglected. It's that easy.

You didn't offend me. I just don't have a good feel when anyone is misled here. I expect the person whom was served the refusal letter to sit down and read it carefully and understand what it says because that is the first line in achieving any success, because when you get in to study for example this little errors can cost one a lot. I don't blame u a bit and I didn't insult u either because the truth is u might not have an idea of what the letter entails.

Since he compared his reasons to sb else's he should as well follow the advice I gave to that person. I had already given my submission to his case.

Thanks!

Things that can serve as home ties;
Your family which you already mentioned.
Proof of future employment (if applicable)
Evidence of membership of professional/religious bodies etc.
Bank account(s) statement (Fixed deposit inclusive)
Pension statement
Physical asset(s) e.g land, car, property etc.
eTax card
Driver's license
Note that you cannot have everything. All you need do is apply as your situation dictates.

Proof of future employment? Like in should get an employment letter? Because all the Odas u just mentioned.... I don't have

Jayne07:

Use the ones you have.
Your degree certificates, NYSC certificate, awards that you have gotten over the years can also serve. Family is one of the best (and commonly used) home ties and you have that. Use a family picture if you can.
