@Justwise, The information put forward by you is false.

US visa refusal has no direct negative effect to a Canada Study Visa and will not be an automatic reason for a refusal. It is noted that Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand and other first-rate European countries collaborate with each other by sharing and making information available on visa matters to every one.

With that said, when filling a Canada Study permit IMM1294E application form, under the background information section 2: A question is thrown to every applicant:
Have you ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada OR any other country?

On the account that the applicant can veraciously and truthfully answer the above question as stated on the form, signifying that he/she has been refused a visa to the US, also indicating the reason for the refusal, and the date of visa rejection. There is no red flag and would not adversely affect the outcome of the Canada Study Permit.

After reviewing this part (background check), the visa officer move on to check the application entirety to know if the applicant ties is sufficient enough to compel their departure after studies and the likelihood of the applicant not to over stay their visit to Canada after the authorized period of stay. The visa officer will also check if the applicant have legitimate and adequate financial resources to support their planned study in Canada and to ascertain that the applicant wouldn't be a burden to the Canadian government or have any recourse to public funds during the course of study in Canada.

Consequently, provided that the applicant can show sufficient ties to their home country, the reasonableness of undertaking the program in Canada and adequate and legitimate source of funds to cater for their stay. The visa officer has no objection but to approve the application based on the information presented by the applicant.

Cc: Emiyrab will tell better about the above information presented by me.

Therefore, to recapitulate, NO a US visa refusal without a ban or criminal record has no negative effect for a Canadian study visa.

As regards to South Africa and Dubai being a good travel history. The answer is NO. A good travel histories for a Canadian study visa are trips to first-rate countries namely.... US, New Zealand, UK, Australia, Ireland, Paris, Turkey etc.

I was reviewing an applicant GCMS note last week, and the visa officer stated:
"The applicant's prior travel history is insufficient to count as a positive factor in my assessment." Mind you, the applicant has travelled to Ghana, South Africa and Dubai. This is a clear evidence that these countries do not count as a travel history.

Cc: Austacus is very right with his stand point.

Cheers!

I want to apply for a student visa how do I go about it

Austacus:


Well... I will do my findings and take correction
:
But I doubt you are correct because travel history for Canada, US visa is mostly from a developed country like US, Canada, Schengen countries, Singapore, Aus, NZ,Europe etc
:
Don't give me an incomplete answer that US visa refusal adversely affects the chances of getting Canada visa
I am pretty sure that Canada & US are members of the five-eye group, mainly to share criminal-immigration related data. So I will agree with you if you'd say ”not directly, it may affect”
And who's to say that the US visa refusal was not "normal"? For all we know, it might have been refused because of some criminal matter. so that could affect the chances of Canadian visa. The two countries have different purpose of visit.

Pls Gurus in the house I've been thinking, and I want to lay out my thoughts for examination and cross examination. Since its getting difficult to get Student Visa, is it a better option to apply for Express Entry, then when you get there apply for your Msc, won't it be cheaper and easier?

Secondly what is the meaning of 'Decision: Notification to follow' I saw this in my Usask page.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi, please I'd like to ask what does it mean when the Canadian embassy sends someone a mail about biometrics being confirmed and that they would not do biometrics again when they get to Canada. My friend applied for visa early December 12th, and she just got such message almost 2months of not hearing anything from the embassy. Please is this a positive news coming her way. Please someone answer

042viber12:


I think it means they have confirmed her biometrics and she won't be needing to do it again even if in future she wants to reapply...once it's done, it's done. Though am wondering why they are just sending that now..for me I did biometrics today and got the mail later in the evening

1st why go for a pgd wen u have a 2.1, u are eligible to go for a masters..this will be an issue cos the VO would want to know why u are going for a pgd wen u have a 2.1 that makes u eligible for a masters...secondly I don't know wea u read that people applying for visa with a pgd hardly get a visa...the last 6persons that has gotten a visa here are all pgd..besides going for a masters or pgd, doesn't guarantee u a visa but rather wat and how u package your application is way guarantees u a visa...for your question, it boils down to u to decide to pay the fees, cos u have to explain why u are going for a pgd and not a masters and also why a cos in biz wen u have a bsc in physics...not that u can't get a visa but it depends on how u explain yourself to the VO to convince him/her

Okattamgbee:


Does it mean that Ontario College Diploma is same as Postgraduate Diploma?

mysticken:

042viber12:


Don't think it's the same... but either way, having a 2.1 and applying for that is a red flag dat will cause the applicant to start explaining.. too much work

Okattamgbee:


Alright, but what do you think about someone that has a 2:2 in Information Management Technology and applied for Ontario College Advanced Diploma in Computer Systems - Network Engineering And Security Analyst?

Good Afternoon house , anyone got admission into University of Regina here? I just got an admission

justwise:


You are likely to be refused because it does not show any progress, how do you move from degree down to Diploma?

justwise:


This is a flawed argument, going by your line of reasoning its fair to assume that Dubai, South Africa, Russia or China are not developed countries?

South Africa has one of the toughest visa rules in Africa especially for Nigerians and getting SA visa is tough, so if you are able to get a SA visa, travel and return even with all the strict rules then that counts as a good travel history.


My initial point was referring to your point that US visa refusal will only affect one's Canadian visa application if that person is banned by US.

One could be sent back at POE in US and visa cancelled without being banned, if you travel to US and overstayed your visa and return to reapply your application will be refused but you will not be banned.

If you traveled to US and use your visa to give birth without declaring it during the interview you will be refused a reapplication without being banned.

If you decided to apply for Canada visa your application is likely to be refused because of your history with US.

That was why i selected that section of your post and made my comment which was misconstrued
