Application declined 18th August 2021.
Timeline:
Application submitted April 26th 2021 (PhD with full funding). Also submitted my personal bank statement (not MBS).
NSE request May 7. Ignored it and went with normal route.
Upfront medical passed june 25th.
Eligibility review always read "in progress..."

Reason for refusal: We are not convinced you will be able to pay the tuition fee. Also, you do not have sufficient finance for your accompanying family member to Canada.

P.S: My full funding covered both tuition and monthly expenses. I also submitted my account statement indicating that I can pay for my miscellaneous expenses. I did not include that anyone is accompanying me. Infact in my IMM form, I specifically selected "no" to this question.
Obviously, they did not do a thorough review.
I'm awaiting my notes.

Wishing you all the best as you await their response.

The US denied her students visa 4 times. We decided to try Canada since the US refused to give her visa. She received admission into 2 university out of the 3 she applied to.

You know what, I'm not sure. Medical request doesn't necessarily imply request for additional document so I don't think the application upload portal will be opened.

millie0:
Please can a sponsor be anybody else other than a family member?

Can a family friend be a sponsor?

Also, I have not submitted my application yet, but I have done my medical examination. How can I submit that via webform?

Is it also cumpolsory to provide business certificates for proof of funds? What if I am unable to procure the business documents, can I also submit valuation documents and financial account documents?

Thanks.

Any help, please?

Haaaa!!!!

Sorry about this. Please kindly wait for the note and refire

fairlytreated:




You can imagine such obvious error from IRCC. These guys make too many errors and its so unacceptable. You will surely get approval with your profile.... It's just the little delay.

The same thing happened to me when I requested for the renewal of Travel Exemption Letter for my children because theirs expired since it wasn't used within the 3 months validity period. The guy that handled the request said the application with my UCI number wasn't approved so I was not eligible to request Travel Exemption Letter for my children. And I attached everything o - I mean my student visa, their visitor visas and the expired exemption letters.

In fact my other letter quoting the refusal reason was filled with anger questioning IRCC standard. I got their responds after 16 days with the new Travel Exemption Letter. These guys make too many errors.

Just stay positive and shoot again.
