Hey,


I regret to hear your visa was rejected.... From my point of view, I can confidently point out that your study plan was vague and poorly written. How did you relate your intended program with your previous studies and current employment status. It will also be a big risk but not impossible to reapply for visa against fall term at this point without an upfront medical as the current processing times is 10 weeks and you would require to restructure your SOP which would also take some few days prior to your reapplication.

In a nutshell, I would suggest you work on presenting a logical and persuasive SOP and LOE that would substantiate that you're a genuine student with a lawful purpose to study and would depart Canada. The SOP/LOE should be well organized with ideas supported with relevant details. Paragraphing must also be used well. Furthermore, work on your ties to Nigeria that can motivate your departure after studies.(Aged parents who depend on you for support, parents landed properties/buildings, close bond b/w you and your immediate siblings and things you share in common with them, you belong to any organization in Nigeria which you must return to continue active participation in meetings, and your career Prospects in Nigeria upon your return etc...)

Best of luck

Hello . Can anybody help me tackle my issues. I would appreciate if someone can help vet through my SOP and study plans

Hello guys,

I just got my refusal letter now.

I applied on June 7th and did biometric on 10th.

Got BVL on 27th and refusal on 28th.

I have OND and HND in Electrical/Electronics Engineering and I got admission for a one year certificate Program in Truck and Transport Service Technician in NBCC.

The reason why I wanted to do the program is because I have been working as a Logistics personnel for over 9 years. As a logistics person, I was involved with managing fleets and trucks for the distribution of products across the country. Part of the problems we encounter is incessant truck break downs and ending up at the hands of bad truck mechanics. I then choose the program to learn more about truck repairs. I stated all that in my SOP.

The refusal letter I got reads thus:

Good morning All. 

I've read and believe I need advice here.

I have a Bsc. In Accounting from Nigeria , MSC. HRM from UK. Worked for 3 years in Communications Industry and now looking to change career due to life experiences. Applying to a college in Ontario for Pre-health in hope of studying Occupational Therapy or Physiotherapy. Agent advising that there may be hitches cos my degree is way higher than what I'm going for. I want to proceed but please advice .

In reference to the bolded your proposed course of study shows little or no correlation with previous studies. You should be looking for programs like MBA, Executive Mba, forensic accounting etc programs. I'm talking about programs that can ease your post studies settlement in Canada.

Also going for the proposed program will raise doubts on your purpose of visit in Canada. So please thread carefully.

Wow!!!

That is a first for me on this thread. Hopefully they will be fast and efficient.

I just got informed that my application is being processed in Paris. Abeg any success story from there?

Nairobi guys must find any reason to refused application. To me this application deserve approval, may be the problem is from your LOE.
It is good you have ordered for your GCMS note but the outcome will not be more that vague and poorly documented.

Hello everyone,

Please what are the chances of a masters degree in Canada, for someone who has a 3rd class in Engineering, and certified with COREN in Nigeria and is 34 years old? I have tried looking for schools but it is really hard. His GPA is 2.34. I am thinking of a PGD, but which schools will admit on that. he is really passionate about engineering though. Also trying to see how WES can evaluate his COREN. I would really appreciate your responses.

@Qudkom, @Frankrobben, @sleekysoft, @westlife08, @mcobex and others whom I did not mention please kindly help.

Thank you all.

Try Conestoga college

Hi, I'm sorry but with a GPA like that it is almost impossible to get an Msc program. A graduate certificate program will be a good idea. However, you should know that whatever engineering discipline he chooses should be unique in order to avoid any glitches concerning purpose of visit.

There are several graduate certificate programs that offer unique programs that enable you learn industry relevant skills and make you employment ready upon graduation. For example, centennial college is an option.

Did you submit your own personal SOA? From what I can see ( I’m no guru please) every document pertaining to finance and properties you dropped is on your dad and none about you ( I stand to be corrected)

Good morning, i completed my nysc this thursday and i applied for a student visa yesterday. Is it compulsory for me to submit my own soa too because my account is empty.

mcobex:
Tick No.

thanks

Obehi44:

Hey that question is very coni, the truth is that some programs require that you work as a student. Therefore, kindly check with your skol, program and the admission letter to see if it states that you have to work.

thanks

abusmanlouis:


The question stated, is work essential component of your study?

What you will need to do is to check your admission letter and read it line to line to see if your program has a mandatory practicum. If it has, the admission/acceptance will come with a letter to apply for work permit along with your visa application, then tick for yes.

thanks

Being a while here !!!
Hello, I have been shortlisted for medicals. Pls who want have any appointment he or she is ready to swap for me.
Thanks

Sorry for the rejection letter.
I think you have all the requirements.
Ur Acct ✅
Assets ✅
Everything ✅
But were you able to convince them through your LOE that you coming back home ?
Doubt I think you didn’t do.
So you should try look into that

@Qudkom has done justice to your question. What I can add is this, I think it will be much better if the person in question joins this thread so he can also learn(you won't always be there for him especially if he gets the admission and TRV). So tell him to join the thread to get more information himself.

Not compulsory since you are not working. That of your sponsor will be enough, but make sure you explain that you just finished your nysc(state the date)..... though I want to believe you already have that on your CV

JustMellow:
Please before a question is ask, do well to go through Part 15 so to avoid continuous repetition of questions and answers.

Welcome y'all to Part 16.

Good luck to all visa hopefuls!
