Do VO denies visa for PGC study in Canada? Been hearing lots of stories around PGC study visa denied.

Lekiboboe:

Yes you are right and that depends on different factors based on each individuals and the school or schools in question

A 2.1 graduate of 5 years study gap might not find it easy to get admission cos of the assumption by a Professor or graduate comitee that such candidate might not have an updated knowledge of what he/she want to come study in Canada most especially if its a thesis based masters program

The work Experience of some 2.1 graduates is not related to what they studied in the university. In the move to get thesis based masters admission that requires a candidate to get a Supervisor (Prof.), that prof. might not be interested in such Candidate

Some 2.1 graduates are going for research interests in a Masters program not related to their degree. Though some do it cos they can tailor their research experience to that non related research interests but some can't cos there is no connection.

Some 2.1 has grade, and in the context of Canada's Graduate School Admission Requirements, there are mostly focus on the CGPA of that 2.1 graduate in his last two years e.g. 400 L & 500 L which must be 70-75%.

Also some 2.1 graduate don't package their application well, they feel only the 2.1 would be sufficient. Thats why lots of Canadian universities ask for ACADEMIC CV (not the conventional CV in Nigeria), and Statement of Purpose for admission which is also called Letter of Intent, Motivation letter etc.

I have a feeling there is more to a 2.1 graduates not able to get admission, await more inputs from the house on that

POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS FOR 2.1 GRADUATES LOOKING FOR MASTERS ADMISSION AND FULLYFUNDED GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES IN A CANADIAN UNIVERSITY OR UNIVERSITIES

You need to package and position yourself before making move on your graduate application cos there are lots of brilliant graduates from different parts of the world you gonna be competing with. So in order to AVOID SUBMITTING ANY HOW and NON-COMPETIVE GRADUATE APPLICATIONS, see this;

- Send COLD MAILS to Profs. you have something in common with in terms of research
- Your Research Interests must align with what a Prof. focuses on most especially those of you who want to do thesis-based programs
- Do online courses related to your research interests which is to be stated in your ACADEMIC CV, this can boost your admission chances
- Attend conferences webinars, workshops etc. related to your research interests for Masters
- Your SOP for admission must be well written, proofed read, and plagiarism free
- COVER LETTERS to apply for advertised graduate positions (MSC, PHD)
- Recommendation letters

You dont need a transit visa. Bear in mind that the flight is not very comfortable. Also for your layover, you are given access to the internet for only 1 hour. Bear this in mind if you are going to be there for a long time. You can give other airlines a shot like lufthansa.

Hello Chrysto

The bolded will be determined by IRCC.

But with the recent happenings with applicants on this forum, applicants have gotten approval after several months of waiting, some 6 months, some a year and so on... Even with the NSE route, applications are still delayed...

But there can be an exception in your case though......

If by December you do not get an update on your profile (Eligibility review starting, A medical request e.t.c) I will advise you defer your admission to either Spring or Fall..

Peace
