Many have reapplied without gcms notes and were still able to successfully combat previous denial. GCMS in most cases are only expanded Cliff Notes version of the reason for denial. They are notes in a boilerplate template from which a VO tries to personalize the reason for denial as pertaining to an applicant. Sometimes GCMS shade some light better than the refusal letter as the one AustinPee showed. In other cases, they shade little to no light better than the refusal note. I will advice people to order for them because when they do shade better light, they can extremely be helpful. Some people by ordering their GCMS notes, have discovered errors by a VO which have often led to approval when such errors are pointed. Like someone who discovered through his gcms notes that a VO misintepreted him as been sponsored by a third party, when it was his father that was sponsoring him. He had to point out such errors which led to an approval. Sundry errors can be discovered by ordering GCMS notes. In other cases they only repeat what is obvious in the refusal note. It is your perogative whether to order them or not.

Dear fellow comrades, you will agree with me that Canada has taught one patience

It's November bro we are all waiting for

What about someone who just been refused base on purpose of visa only... Do you think that person is good to go with a very good SOP? Or should order for GCMS note?

Honestly you are good to go if you don't have much time to wait for GCMS. Denial based on purpose of visit, GCMS notes will not say anything more than you haven't shown that you would be a genuine student. So your SOP should be tailored to convincing the VO that you would study in good faith if extended the privilege and that you intend to return to Nigeria based on pressing ties home.

Ps: purpose of visit are rarely or ever based on finances. If it were financial reasons that a VO is denying you, they will never state purpose of visit Only as a reason for denial. There is an abundant option relating to finances to be ticked on the white paper without exclusively indicating purpose of visit.

For June or July applicant ??

CIC....how far na....since yesterday's maintenance....nothing nothing on this forum oooh........was expecting some alleluyahs today ooooh........hmmmm.......hmmmm.....

.

I don't think the HND will be needed because, if you friend is already a registered nurse In his/her own country then he can use it and apply for either bachelor's degree in nursing or specialities In nursing In Canada so I think his only chances might be using his waec certificate to apply to colleges or universities that offer nursing, then studying it from the very beginning. because they won't accept HND from another field of study except nursing

Thank you, she studied microbiology and wants to further her education in nursing

Your profile sounds nice �
Good home ties I see there with a perfect SOP your there.
As for the funds you will have to get a school to match your budget excluding the 10k cad required to show for living expenses in a year , we have 7m left a 20 k cad school below will be nice for you.
But you will need to show proof that the money will be replenished back.
The school search is the hurdle to pass now ,
Just believe dats all you need.

Omowunmibaby:
Good morning. Abeg gurus help me. How can my friend study NURSING in Canada using her HND in MICROBIOLOGY. I have searched but am not getting any tangible answer. Please help

She can study nursing , it all depends on which capacity she wants to be it a bachelors , RN , or other diplomas.
The battle is with the requirements of her chosen higher institution. One thing am sure of she would get courses waived for her.
Effective school search is the key , make research peruse online platforms and find the matching program for her.
Don’t hesitate to send mails across to clarify discrepancies. For it is written in the holy book only when you ask shall it be given to you.
Let her cross that hurdle first before thinking Of perfecting an SOP for the VOs

Please can I apply for visa with a conditional acceptance letter

Like Frankrobbn said it's not necessary, but for me it was as I couldn't proceed to next page without uploading it. Just fill, it's just a one page questionnaire with very few questions.

Frankrobbn1:


Client Information (required) - Upload your SOP/LOE, degree certificates, transcripts, birth certificates, recommendation letters from past and present employers, NYSC discharge papers, your work ID, your employment letters, resume etc... (every supporting documents should be uploaded in this section).

Gud morning house,

For those who applied online, I will like your input here.

While going through the online application, I discovered that one can upload only one file for each of the document type. For example, the client information allows only one file to be uploaded. Does it then mean that all supporting documents(SOP, scanned certificates, reference letters, etc) have to be merged together?

Please I want to ask, who pays for the research. For example, I'm going for a Msc thesis based course. When its time to do my research, who would foot the bills, me or my supervisor or the school?
Mind you, the research fees are different from tuition fees.

Yes

Don't rest on your laurels brother. Your age is something you are gonna have to combat seriously with the visa officer about. The period past since last you attended school, otherwise called study gap, is something seriously to be confronted. The visa office would like to know if you would be a genuine student. This is not an easy undertaking. You will be to bring your best game to the drawing table and do more than others who only graduated recently, to stand a chance.

Austinpee4:

I couldn't agree more. Very valid point bro. The GCMS file note is the officer's report on the conclusion of the application and actually not meant to be written as to the applicant. It is for their records and hence will be well detailed than the letter of refusal given to the applicant. Thankfully, applicants can access the GCMS note through the access of information act which eventually would help one prepare better and tackle reason(s) for a previous refusal.

The generic letter of refusal is vague and would not give the full underlying reasons for a refusal.

From an experience here:

Applicant was refused for 1.purpose of visit 2. Travel history 3.All reasons for insufficient funds.

GCMS note: PA had travel to Canada once for visit and overstayed by a single day( reason for purpose of visit and travel history), Source of funds not provided(reason for insufficient funds). The officer doubted the genuineness of funds available.

In this case above, one would think it's the program of study or question why travel history is ticked when there is extensive travel or that funds were not sufficient and would proceed to add more money to the account. The applicant could surmise these without the note and reapply and the application would have resulted to yet another refusal. The GCMS note helped. Reason for overstaying was explained and evidence was included. Business contract execution documents were also included to show how funds were gotten. Reapplication was approved. These and many more are some of the reasons the GCMS note is encouraged.

Thanks for shedding light on this ��

Good morning to the guru in the house, I will need you advice, I graduated from the uni 2015,last 2 year I applied for a diploma course in Australia i was denied ,last year I applied for vacation in the US i was also denied.last month I stop working in a communication firm and I want to apply for a master degree in Canada.my cgp is 3.1 and my account currently is not up 3000 dollars.and I will love to use my uncle as my sponsor his account is very OK..please I will need ur candid advice on what to do thanks

Thekudi:
thank you so much I guess you don't have to write GMAT for the course I supposed? Pls here is my mail let chat better thekudi@yahoo.com

yeah GMAT is not needed and also not compulsory to write IELTS before you get admitted but it is mandatory to submit your IELTS score before resuming or write the school english placement exam upon arrival...

Don't be discouraged your age is not a barrier,get the right course that relates to your career back it up with a sound sop and you are flying.
