The main advise you will get at this point is to pray and wait.... Imagine, they even use their own emails... Ridiculous!!! and Sad!!!!

Another one for you and other potential applicants reading is a warning... Avoid these agents!!!!!... Its only an advise and you may choose to do otherwise.
If you have been reading or following recent trends, the havocs of agents activities are more than the good!!!!... We've had loads of issues.... My advise is ... Listen and take informed decisions.
Regards.

I was also rejected due to the same reason u found your self in....but I wasn't sent a letter to respond within 15days. I wasn't ban either. I reapplied and explain in detail that the error was completely on my part...I then got rejected again due travel history, employment prospects in country of residence, current employment situation and personal assets and financial status. The good news is I escaped the ban. I am planning to send my third application soon. Go through my profile and u will see the gcms notes of my first and second application.

Trust me... Your case wasn't serious.. hence your testimony...
And then did you use an agent?....

Responses sample to such claims as it was "an error or negligence" says 'error of commission on such important documents as (visa application forms) is least expected from an intending student of Early Childhood Education in Canada'..... What about that?!... I have samples.
Regards.

I then reapplied and I got this

Note: both applications where processed in the Canadian embassy in Paris France. So guys please help me tackle this so that my third application will be a success.
I normally see on applicant's rejection letters purpose of visit and it accomplishes but mine is different no purpose of visit ticked.

This is a case of... "God with us"
You must have been extremely lucky!!!! And thank goodness you did not use an agent.
Many have faced and are still battling several stiff sanctions as a result of this act and this also goes to affect US considerations.
Meanwhile... It may be the Nigeria factor... applicants are faced with integrity suspicions...

[/quote] Thanks @ Folaroyal...Please help me tackle the reason giving in my second application.

Hi munezsanti. I am not a lawyer but I feel your case is somehow different from wasiu's case. WASIU indicated that he was not refused USA visa whereas you left the space blank on your form. U can claim innocent misrepresentation here and hence no strict penalty. @wasiu, kindly respond to this issue with all seriousness and take it like its a big chance to prove your integrity. All the best

Our case are similar except that i did not receive a letter telling me to reply within 15 days....I answered NO on the form. What helped me is the letter of clarification i wrote

Ok

My advice to all applicants is to answer all the questions asked truthfully.

Teddywhiz1:
I want to know if approval of trv is subjective to the discretion of vo... I mean if a very good account Is presented by an undergraduate student heading for an engineering course, has paid tuition fees and still has like 12 million in his account... A good travel history to the UK twice and enough home ties including parents and lands owned by parents...... Can TRV still denied based on discretionary judgement from the vo?

Yes, Approvals are totally at their discretion. You can only aid their decision with the supporting documents,quality, credibility and simplicity of your application.
A good account to you might not be one to them irrespective of the closing balance, likewise your travel histories ,lands and all. They are only going to help your case as an applicant. How you are able to link your supporting documents to your case as well as meeting their requirement is KEY.
TRV can be denied for various and ridiculous reasons.Every single details of your application is critical.

MunezSanti:
My advice to all applicants is to answer all the questions asked truthfully.

I have been brainstorming on how to help you concerning your refusal. My suggestions

1. Apply for a B.Sc. It is more credible to a VO compared to a diploma.

2. Go out and volunteer, it will help cater for your activity Gap. Ensure you give full details of all the activities. You can learn computer programming, CAD designs, etc. You must ensure all your activities are well detailed.

3. Write a stronger SOP. We can look at that together, send me a PM from next week I'm busy lately.

4. Take SAT score very high, you may get a scholarship in the U.S. with that and that will help convince the U.S. VO of your credibility.

With these, you can sort out your Canada and U.S. refusals.

Cheers.

Folaroyal:


Very great!... I celebrate you because you are one of the very determined applicants who are not dismayed by initial delays!!!
All thanks to God... Many congratulations!!!.
Please request help wherever you need one and guys Will be willing.... always willing.
Regards.

Pls i need to be guided on the documents i will need at the port of entry.
Thanks

Thanks a lot dear I really appreciate it. For a start I have applied for Business Administration at UPEI. Also since last semester I have been studying economics at university. The reason I applied for business administration is I have been helping my father in his business since I graduated from high school in 2013.
The course I applied for during my last application was Aviation Operations I guess the reason for employment prospects in country of residence was ticked.
I wish you all the best in Canada.
Cheers

Hello house, i have been a silent reader, i came across this wonderful thread before I applied through an agent(paper rout also linked online), i was refused yesterday after 14weeks, but am yet to receive refusal message what should be the problem? I am looking forward to reapply again, i am glad i have learn a lot here.

joeadex:
Good day fellow nairalanders, please I'm planning of traveling abroad (UK or Canada) after my services year which I'll be through with by October 2017 for my Master Degree.
I graduated with second class lower (2.62 cgpa) from Architecture.......I had already consult a traveling agent and he said I should do English proficiency test (TOEFL), that after doing the test that my Cgpa doesn't matter again but I'm going to use the score from my TOEFL to process the admission. Please I want to confirm how true is this.
I'll also like you guyz to advise me on how to go about this and with the schools with less tuition fee in this two countries. Thanks.

It is either your agent is dumb or you didn't hear him/her well. To say your GPA doesn't matter except TOEFL is the dumbest thing have heard in this race.
If you are sure that your agent said that, then, he/she must be agent of darkness and evil. Run away from such person and take your life and decisions personally.

Your CGPA matters a lot. Particularly, the GP of your last two years of study.

For now, stay away from UK except you have money and ready to come back home after studies, or want to do the highly risky and unadvisable akata runz. I wouldn't try UK if I were you.

Calculate the GP of your last two years of study and let us know. Plus you really have to be dedicated to this, cos you will be doing most yourself.

Teddywhiz1:

Agent wahala. Just hope and pray for the best.

The bad thing is that no matter how much advise is given to stay away from agents, people wont. All the best my people.
