Hello Gurus in the house. Please I need your candid advice. My study permit was refused last week. This is the second refusal. I realized useful info on this platform after I have applied. I had B.Sc. Economics 2.2. In my first application I applied diploma in business in Saskatchewan poly. It was refused based on Purpose of visit and travel experience. For the second (recent ) application I applied for diploma in fashion techniques and design in George Brown College. Reason for denial was purpose of visit. V. O said he didn't see prospect of the course in my country of residence after study.

From What I realized on this platform, Progression and consistent in study are very important probably I would have gone for Post graduate diploma in economics.
My question is
1. Should I apply for Post graduate in economics since I can't get a master degree with my 2.2?
2. Changing courses for the 3rd time, wont this seem desperate and a red flag?
3. Should I forget applying for study permit in Canada as I have changed my course 2 times and this might already set a red flag to future applications irrespective of my eligibility and how good I Package my application?

Please I strongly rely on your responses as most info on this platform are helpful and genuine.

Goodevening Holmes,

I have a strong second class upper in a professional degree and although I qualify for most masters programmes in my industry, I opted for a college diploma in a different field but same industry. I have collected my passport with my visa stamped with a study-work permit.

My advice is to work on your Letter of Explanation thoroughly pointing out your reasons for the change and whatnot.

Hope this helps and encourages you.

Cheer up.....

Gunit87:
Thanks for the response, you mean your diploma was not post graduate diploma?? and also changing to economics for me wont be a bad idea with strong SOP right?

TheAfrikan:


IT IS NOT A POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA BUT A COLLEGE DIPLOMA.

My opinion is that as far you can write a convincing Letter explaining the change and satisfy the Visa Officer, you're gold.

I'd advice you hang around for insight from other gentlemen on the platform.

Its Makano tho.. U didnt drop ur full details... When did u apply and have u been called for Medicals, is it an online applicaton or paper, If its an online application, whats the status of ur aplication? If ur application is beyond the official processing time, then I will advise you start sending them messages through the webform... And if you don't receive any feedback from them in like a week, then u can start sendng them messages to their respective email addresses... And when sending them the messages, stress the fact that ur school would resume soon, also let ur Subject be URGENT.. GOOD LUCK..

I followed the instructions on the website down to the letter and applied. I wasn't even aware of this forum until like after I had done my biometrics.

Hope this helps.

Hello Makano,

My application was online route. And this was the 4th application after 3 rejects. Would they need medical from me as I have been out of the destignated country. Been in US studying in community college since January, making me out of destignated country for more than 6 months.

- 4th application >>> 16th July 2018
Biometric >>>>> July 2018
No- Upfront medical

I have send several web contact mail, and no reasonable response

GCMS non thing there.

haaryobhami:

wow 3million,thought its 10m or 15m oh

makano:
Did you apply from the US, if yes, I dont think u need to do medicals if u have a permit there... And to the bolded, u cant just say nthing there.. Share ur gcms note, so peeps can see whats really with ur case and advise you accordingly.. Peace

Omonoba1981:
I applied from Lagos. During my waiting period went for US student visa and got that one late last year.

I have shared the zcms before and nothing was there. I have like 207 pages

makano:
If you applied from Nigeria, then u need to do ur medicals.. And to ur GCMS note share the last 2 pages or so, that's where u will see what the VO is saying bout ur application... U don't need to share the whole pages, just go to the last 2-5 pages of ur note, u will see what u looking for there and share.. Meanwhile I can see 2016 in dis ur note, I am talking about ur GCMS note for this ur current Application and not ur refused applciation.. Peace

Omonoba1981:

I have attached the last two pages, I only have 5 Notes. And as I said i got a gcms with 207 pages these included all the application I have made since 2016.

The latest gcms not was 14th November 2018

For the medical, If I still have to get it done would that be from US or I have to come back to Nigeria for that.

msmodi:
Morning bro. Kindly check your pm. Very urgent.

makano:
Since u applied from Nigeria, then u will have to do ur medicals in Nigeria.. I would have advised you go for an upfront medicals but I dont know when u will be resuming.. If its May, then its impossible to do ur Upfront... So u just have to wait for CIC to request for ur Medicals... But like I said in ma earlier post, disturb them with emails both through Webform and also to their official emails.. And put ur Subject as Urgent.. Good luck

Deane:
Hello guys, please I would appreciate any advise on the following as proof of funds for application for study visa:
I gave been admitted into a masters degree program in York with some scholarship. The estimated cost of the program is CAD28, 000 (tuition - 16000,living costs - 12,000)

1. Scholarship of CAD$21,000
2. Personal Savings of about N700,000.
3. Gift of N1.2m from my dad.
4. Transfer of N450, 000 from a friend (just for proof of funds).
5. My Pay stub of N275, 000 monthly salary.
6. Personal RSA - N1.4m

Do you think I am good to go with the above? Anything i may have to add to the above for proof of funds?

While filling the form imm1294e, do i add funds in RSA as part of funds available for the program?

I expect to earn about N1.4m as total salary between now and August, before the program starts in September. Can I include that I'll set aside N1m out of the N1.4m of my entire earnings during this period for my program? Can i add this expected earnings as part of funds available for the program?

ahmedio2017:



Which school is that and is their admission ongoing? i want to apply for diploma

Omonoba1981:
I am thinking medical would not be needed. The requirement for Medical is if you are

If you plan to stay for more than 6 months

You need a medical exam if you meet any of these criteria:

You lived in one or more of these countries or territories for at least 6 months in a row within the last year

As I said in the past one year I have spent more than 6months in a country that is not considered as destignated.


As of sending them more mails. I will wait a bit till the MP comes with a respond. They respect their MP than me bombarding them mails.

The MPs has a special way in communicating with all the immigration office all over the world. They talk directly to their office via phone and direct email to their supervisors.

Nova Scotia Community College.

Depending on the course you want to study, they are still giving admission. Make sure it's not on a wait list. There are still seats available.
