Hi guyz, just think i should say this very quickly.... i have been reading this trend say like 2months now. i figure Canada refuse rate after medical is very high now i mean since like the last 3months they have refuse quite large numbers of applicant even after passing their medical.
i have some friends who are Travel Agent...am not here to promote agents, am just saying i have lots of them who are very good!!! they do let me know that its always a bad time to apply for TRV towards the end of the year(Oct,Nov and Dec) Reason: cos every embassy/consular has the number of visas to be issue within the year time frame. so basically if CA is to issue 10,000 visas to applicant from Nigeria for the year 2015. and by Sept they have already issue 9,800. guess what happen to Hundreds of applicant who is applying by Oct to Dec, the denial rate will be very high isnt it?
This isnt my idea, it was a thought from some gurus aswell..... so am writing to encourage the ones who has been refused, to pls not give up..JAN is another best time to apply u can start pilling up ur docs for submission and am sure by God grace it will be great news for u.
also for those awaiting, i pray it comes out Good.
should anyone here think my write up is a crap and that cant be the reason for refusal, i am open for a correction and i wll be glad to learn, you know one can not know it all.
Thanks and God Bless!!!

pls which Uni in Canada can I do MSC Agricultural
Economics with funding available .

I av a Degree with GPA of
4.5
is my result strong enof for funding?
thanks

sholay2011:

Hello. You should try University of Manitoba. While your CGPA is good, I can't ultimately assure you funding but your chances are not bad at all. Also, the school fees aren't as high as that of some Canadian Universities.

You should at least get some funding that reduces your fees into half with this CGPA (IGSES).

Same course( quality or process engineering management) with Lambton offering the program 2yrs and the latter 1year. Please gurus, I Need your advice.Tnx in advance.

ritze:


Accept the 2.

Apply for trv with conestoga.

when you get to canada, switch to lambton...3year psw

if you decide to settle with conestoga, na 1 yr psw.

Be adviced

lymelyte:
so I should apply to both colleges? But they both require paying acceptance fee naw.

Walexwal:


Thanks bro......what about University of Saskatchewan. I just stumbled on them and its as if they ve son good funding.

pls what do you think about the school?

Thanks

Jesusgang:
You are highly welcome bro.

Firstly, lets analyse the docs you submitted. You dint submit enough documents, please check this link for more info on the list of docs you are expected to submit.

Secondly, you need not worry about travel history (except you have stayed beyond your permit in Canada or any other country) as many applicants on this forum with zero travel histories have gotten their TRV.

Thirdly, you need to also share your educational history, what program did you enroll for at your undergraduate level if your aiming at a postgraduate degree and what program have you chosen to study in Canada.

Overall, please read these wonderful write-ups by @thesoj and @ seiraries here and here respectively to know more on how to tackle refusals.

Best Wishes

ritze:


if u have the fund, you should do the 2 i suppose.

if otherwise weigh your options well and choose.


Although i thought you had admission for the 2, hence my 1st advise!

bamjay:


Do I go to any high court then and just say "hey, I need affidavit of sponsorship"? would they already know the contents of the affidavit or am i the one to draft the affidavit and submit to them for stamping?how do I go about it?better still do you have copies of both the affidavit of sponsorship and letter of spinsorship so that i could use it to draft mine? thank u muchos.

Niana:

Hello all, still waiting for a response from cic, applied Nov 10. House I would like ask a very big question here, a friend of mine applied via an agent in Oct and got a denial response from cic on friday. Is it possible for her to apply via another agent. The reason she use an agent was lack of funds as a parent doesn't have sufficient funds in their account to show capability of sponsoring her. Someone must have been in her shoes; kindly advice.
