with the look of things I would agree because eligibility would have taken place 3-4 weeks after submission
It’s sad but it’s true these people are crazy lol
I would accept my faith if it so happens it’s a denial

You are quite correct. To provide a bit of context. I applied in May and the elligibiity review was done a month later in June. So, from June to September no update reflected online via the ircc portal besides biometric done in August and medicals(Upfront) done in August. I hope they still give out approvals to everyone still waiting for approvals in the gcms notes. I am only saying its quite likely it might not be the case.

Chocs:
Nice video. According to the letters he projected, the applicants were rejected based on the purpose of visit. But he addressed home ties in the video. Aren’t those 2 completely different things? From the little I know, purpose and home ties aren’t the same. Correct me if I’m wrong please. Thank you.
Actually what he meant was that IRCC isn't processing applications as it ought to be. They're just addressing application with the aim to reduce backlog applications they are also overwhelmed too so no time to critically examine applications.

Then from my understanding the denial on the purpose of visit maybe, despite the pandemic we're still defering even tho we can study online yet we still want to come which questions our real intention.

Lastly, the recent update of 57,000 AIPs don't we think they're approaching their target for the year?

Hello, did you watch the video fully? I think you didn’t understand my last comment. He addressed the rejections and was giving suggestions on how it can be tackled. And the suggestions were related to home ties, while the rejection reason was purpose of visit. Two different things. I hope you understand what I’m saying now.

Kindly advise on the reason for failed eligibility as seen on GCMS notes (Profile looks quite solid). Did you apply with family? Also I read somewhere that using mutual fund bank statement is not advisable as it is better to redeem the funds and show all in bank statement (do not know how true this is)

Nobody can tell you or guarantee you visa success here.. All you need to is package your application the best you can and spice it up with prayer. But abeg, if you want to apply, avoid diploma as you mentioned and stick with the post graduate diploma

Hi Oghogho1313,

You seem to have quite a strong profile, hence my intervention. Everything appears reasonable and good with your documents. Many people get approved with even fewer documents. It appears the VO was not quite satisfied concerning your reasons for doing an MBA, especially since your first degree was in Engineering. You may have to address this issue directly as it seems to be the major issue with your application. Perhaps, when reapplying, you should write a comprehensive L.O.E. and state why an MBA is the best path for you now, considering your prior work experience and future prospects in terms of career advancement. You have to show that an MBA is absolutely necessary for your career and that you will get a return on investment. It is interesting that the VO did not comment negatively on your proof of finance. That's a good thing. The family ties that is mentioned is basically within the context of your failure to prove that an MBA is the logical and necessary step for you, especially in Canada, and more especially as an MBA can easily be done in Nigeria.

I wish you good luck as you repackage your application. May the odds favour you next time.

I am a bit unclear, my course says:

BMT1B - Business Management, London South
Start Date: January 04, 2021 End Date: August 31, 2022
Level: Graduate Certificate Program Status: Full-Time

As you can see, mine is a 2years programme but described as a graduate certificate on the offer letter which is contrary to your explanation of most 2 year courses being diplomas. What will my certificate say? I selected College Certificate on my IMM form not diploma. The options were: College certificate, college diploma and college applied degree.


You are coming to Fanshawe College.

I said most NOT ALL PGC are 8 months - 1 year and PGD usually 2 years. That was why I added a clause that school and program determines these things as well.

It does not mean you can’t have situations where there will be 2 years PGC. The school, program and degree type determines duration of these programs.

So back to your question, your program is a 24 months PGC as stated on your LOA. That’s fine.

What you selected on your IMM form is correct.
PGC = college certificate. You have nothing to worry about.how

What will appear on your certificate is Ontario College Graduate certificate.

I shared an image of how a fanshawe PGC certificate looks like about 3 pages back. All the best.

This looks like an Ordinary DIPLOMA program, cos even in the Admission requirement, a University Bachelor's Degree wasn't mentioned

As suggested by Honorable Chocs, do mail the school to confirm the Qualification of the Program (if its a PGD or an Ordinary Diploma)

By the way,
You can check the following schools for their
Early Childhood Education Graduate Certificate Program

- Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology, Toronto, ON

- Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning, Toronto, ON

- Conestoga College, Kitchener, ON

- Algonquin College, Ottawa, ON

Are we saying those that got rejected did not submit with faith or did not back it up with prayers? The point is let’s leave this forum for information and practical responses and leave the religion part for our religious groups. Besides a denial can also be God’s way of saying not yet or not for you

hmm so you didn’t submit any source of income ?
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Fgmp12: 8:18pm On Sep 23, 2020
Naijaforeigner:


PGC = College certificate

In Ontario, for most schools, usually 2 semesters (8 months). However, It also depends on school and program. Some PGC programs in Ontario are 3 semesters - 12 months duration (includes compulsory coop).

I think most 1 year programs in Quebec takes full 3 semesters (12 months).

Your certificate will state Ontario College Graduate certificate or Ontario College certificate depending on the school.

If you are going for PGC, on IMM form, you choose College certificate


PGD = College diploma. In ontario, it is Usually 2 years duration. You will end up with a certificate that says Ontario College Diploma or Ontario College Graduate diploma depending on the school.

If you are going for PGD, on IMM form, select College diploma

Applied degree is below PGC and PGD. Usually longer in duration depending on the school.
I think Applied degree is same level as Bachelors.
Thank you.
