WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE ELDERS TO ASSIST YOU ON HOW TO ADDRESS THIS


This should be the longest note I have seen since I joined Canada study visa thread.

The note in summary is finance. You don't have enough money to take care of tuition and fees without working in Canada. Then most importantly, your documentation for PROOF OF FUNDS is not properly arranged and proven.

Just like you borrowed money to print statement.

I regret to hear that your friend's study permit application was delayed. A glimpse at the visa officer's notes demonstrates that PA is not applying for a study visa to Canada in good faith (which implies that she is not a bonafide student). The VO is not satisfied that the funds mapped out for her studies is reasonable given her income, economic conditions as well as her salary on the completion of the program. And that there is no logical progression between your proposed program in Canada with her previous studies and current employment.

Given the above enumerated concerns of the visa officer and in summary of the below points highlighted by you on how you intend to rebuttal in her next application;

HOW I INTEND TO REBUTTAL
Apply for 09/2020 session
- Go for a PGD not a Diploma in Journalism
- Pay first year school fees. The fees this is affordable.
- Sponsor would be Dad/ Mum & uncle would be secondary this time. Or I get a student loan.
- Money would be transferred to her account to make it look all sealed.
- Work on the EOX

I'll advice that the uncle sponsorship should be scrapped off completely in the next attempt. If truly the uncle wants to provide support for her studies, he should do so by sending the money into the PA father's account in little denominations so as to avoid raising the eye brows of the visa officer. The entire first year tuition should be paid into her student account in the College and funds should be transferred to her personal account to demonstrate funds accessibility by the PA. Applicant should go for a program that is reasonable in light with her current work experience i.e a PGD in Journalism. More importantly, however, the LOE must be well detailed, coherent and straight to the point by highlighting the changes that have been made in the recent application and properly explain her employment prospects in Nigeria. PA should provide justification if the pay scale for journalist professionals is very impressive with job security that would outweigh the cost and investment made in her studies in Canada. I would advice that she should maximize every opportunity by referring the visa officer to one to two web links on the internet where it was stated that there is a dearth need of foreign journalists in Nigeria.


I hope this information helps. All the best in her next attempt.

It will end in praise.

congratulations. Which University and what MSc program?

jdoe28015:
Once you get to Ajah under bridge or the nearest busstop to the expressway, take a straight bus going to lekki . There will be buses going to lekki phase one or jakande. Enter either one, if you enter the one going straight to lekki, stop at 3rd roundabout also called ‘Ikate ’, it is a short journey after you pass the mall (Circle Mall/Shoprite). So from circle mall, you can start telling the conductor you want to stop at ikate. At ikate, just walk down, the VFS is at the left side of that freedom way road. If you stop at jakande, you have to take another bus to ikate. Also, ikate has two entrances, you are going to stop at the second one (closest to lekki phase 1). I hope this helps

Hello @heidepaper @lekiboboe @justmellow,

If you guys could recall, I expressed worry on the inability of one of my friends to secure a supervisor for her MSc program in Geography. Thanks to your assistance and words of encouragements, a researcher from Queen's university has indicated a strong interest to supervise her project. Although she could afford to fund herself to a degree, but receiving some amount of financial assistance will go a long way for her. Now the question is:

1. Does she wait until she secures admission before she applies for departmental funding. They indicated that funding is available

If she decides to be a research assistant or teaching assistant, will she have to apply formally?

2. How does she approach this subject with the supervisor. She only says she is willing to supervisor her project, without any mention of funding.

3. Will it be in her best interest to work on one of the supervisor's existing project?

Thanks as I await your meaningful contributions.
