Good Morning Gurus in the house!!
Have been a silent reader in the house for 1 year.
My study permit was refused 3months ago based on:

The VO wasn’t satisfied that I will depart back to my home country after my study based on

Family ties.
Purpose of visit
Employment situations.

I finished my NYSC March 2019 and I applied for study permit August 2019
Submitted reference letter from my PPA
Finished BSC 2016
NYSC 2018-2019
I did education course for my undergraduate and I applied for masters of education.
I submitted a letter of introduction for an employment which I started after my NYSC..
I paid 9kCAD for my first semesters school fees
Living expenses was transferred to my account by my brother in law and elder brother.
My elder brother is my main sponsor and I submitted his company account worth of 65million then.
My brother in law works with an international company and his SOA was 13million I submitted them.
While my own personal account was 2.7million


Please I want to reapply and I don’t know how to go about it.i am depressed because I spent a lot and so many things added to it.
@frank,justmellow and the rest.
I need your contributions I also want to post a success story on this thread which I believe I will by next year!! @frank you can inbox me your cell number for me to share some private infos with you as well
Thanks and God bless you all!!

Hello Godsfavor112,

Sorry for the delayed response. Please, share your timeline of documents submitted so people can advise you accordingly.

How did you demonstrate your home ties and how did you present substantive information regarding the VO's concerns in your study plan?

passenger1984:


Mr Frank,

I must say you and the rest of the Gurus are selfless...I graduated with a cgpa of 3.5(agricultural Extension and rural development) i know it is classified as 2.1, even though I know no two applications are the same
but I don't intend on applying for a direct masters because the info I have gathered here so far indicates that it will be a tough task to gain admission into a direct masters with that cgpa, considering that my last two years cgp as an undergraduate is not any better, roughly (3.56).

Therefore,I am considering applying for admission to Fanshawe College(Agri-Business Management)a graduate certificate,It is quite a popular school here and I am hoping @Naijaforeigner will be of help too.. I hope the V.O won't feel I could have done better with that cgpa? Does this show progression? Would you advice I look for another post graduate diploma in a University,perhaps like Saskatchewan University? What are my chances of getting a study Visa? there are so many questions I would love to ask,but I must stop here.

I need everyones suggestions.

Merci

Hello Passenger1984,

The determination of a visa approval doesn't lie on whether its a college or university. The most important thing is to be able to prove to the VO that you are a genuine student. This can be achieved by being able to show that there is a career advancement or the program entails self-development.

However, to get a Master with your last two years GPA of 3.56 might be tedious given the competitiveness but not impossible to secure an admission which is coupled with other factors like:

1. The quality of your letter of intent
2. The quality of your refent(s) letters
3. Writing sample, publications etc
4. The quality of application received by the school for that intake
5. Ability to secure a supervisor
6. Your background to the course of study
7. etc.

Thus, if you intend to study in a university, applying to more schools for both Master or PGD/C would be the best idea depending on your pocket size. At it stands, you can easily secure admission in either college or university that offers a PGD/C.

To this end, you've made a good selection by choosing Fanshawe college.

Good luck

I didn't receive that email but I am also expecting to hear from them. I re-applied since 13th November.
Lets be hopeful. It will end in praise.

Thank God you have not paid the deposit. DO NOT apply to that school. People should try and read the first page of this thread and at least go through CIC site to at least know the key things involved in this process.

Hello house. Could anyone advice me on a university in Canada that offers quick admission for master's program.

Thanks

Regina3:


Hi guys, been a silent reader here following all your advice, been a big source of encouragement & reference for me.
I got my approval yesterday.

First Application.
Applied online : June 22, 2019
Biometrics: June 26, 2019
Medical: July 17, 2019
Passed: July 20, 2019
Approval/Correspondence :August 1, 2019



Just want to say, I was really worried as all the documents I submitted for proof of financial ability were much and after managing to compress to 3.9MB, the documents didn't look to sharp, I thought that it would be an issue but I thank God, for favour. I will suggest if you are having same challenges as I did, you can use CamScanner on Android play store, I found out about it after submitting mine with poor resolutions.
Thanks.



Update:
Passport Request : August 5, 2019
Submitted: August 6, 2019
Passport return : August 16, 2019

Grateful! Wish you all success.

Please, looking for Nigerians in U of Regina, Saskatchewan.

Update:
I arrived on the 3rd Sept. From Abuja to Frankfurt to Calgary & then Regina.
Looking forward to having an amazing experience even though it's cold.

Thank you all.

Have you checked at IOM Abuja?

passenger1984:


Thank you for taking your time to write...This has been really helpful.

There about 5-8 Universities offering Masters admission pertaining to my course of study.I have researched about majority of them.

1.Brandon University:It offers masters admission into the department of ''Rural Development'',I searched their website, I couldn't get the Eligibility requirements,so I have mailed them regarding that...( I am not putting much efforts on this because I don't believe it will fly, telling the V.O I want to go to Canada just for the development of the rural areas,what economic value would that add to me in the real sense.

2.University of Saskatchewan:Offers ''Agricultural Economics'' (It would have been a perfect program for me but it requires a Supervisor) this is out of it.

3.Dalhousie university (master of Agriculture; Business and Social sciences).It requires a Supervisor too

4.University of Guelph (master of Food, agricultural and Resource Economics)
Requirements:minimum 70% (B-) average over the past two years in a four-year honours degree in Food,
Agriculture or Resource Economics (or
in a field of economics)...

I don't have the above qualifications too.

5.University of Alberta (Agricultural Economics/Rural Sociology and MSc
agricultural and Resource Economics) this needs a supervisor too, although this is what I saw on their website
"Please note that it is NOT necessary to identify a potential supervisor prior to applying for admission to graduate programs in the Department of Resource Economics and Environmental Sociology"

Please how true is the above?after gaining admission,if I don't get a supervisor,what will be the outcome?

Local man is really tired.

Good morning brother. I'm also a recent graduate of agricultural economics, still serving though. I graduated with a 4.40cgp with about an av of 4.70 in my last two years of study. I'm looking to start this process in the coming year. I sent you a DM request, please respond.
