Keep dreaming!

Looking for free labour, lol

I don't even know why i'm replying but I guess I am ...
Bro, you are one of the problems with Nigeria
If a situation doesn't work for you, ignore it and keep it moving ... you don't have to bad mouth it, especially a job listing ... Bruhhhh.
Smoke weed or something, chillax!

What side of the bed did you wake up on ??

I explicitly stated I wanted a cofounder, plus I stated that interested people should be self driven and ready to dedicate significant time and sweat equity. I also gave context about the start up, where we are in the product life cycle etc.
I expect anyone who replies to be experienced, looking for a challenge and smart enough to consider risks and opportunity costs.

I don't know how delayed compensation == free labour, or where you even got free labour from.

But anyway brother, it is well.

Wow, thanks for making it soooo detailed.

Order for GCMS notes, it should come in a month but I’ve also experienced them coming much later. In the meantime, review your SOP and identify strengths and weaknesses. Improve the weaknesses. Unless you enjoy working under pressure and have assurances for SOP review late August, start now.

Regarding Financials you have pretty much covered everything. Ensure you show proof of all relationship to your Aunty (draw a family tree, attach passport pages of connecting family members etc, do anything that would make a stranger easily connect the two of you), try to transfer the money for at least a year to your Aunts account (it’s a stronger proof of sponsorship). If you’re able to transfer the money to your Aunts personal account, the sponsorship letter should come from her, also attach her SOA, you can also attach sponsorship letter from the company if she has a stake in it. Be able to explain the source of the money in your sis account (6 million increase in ~2 months would raise eyebrows, unless this instance is not an anomaly) , if possible don’t add the compensation with the job (it raises more questions than answers). Finally, if possible provide examples of other instances of your Aunty helping your sister or any other member of your nuclear family. If you do this correctly, you would not need the co sponsors. Your brothers might be useful as hometies though.

This, and in addition to addressing the concerns raised in your GCMS note and you should be fine.

Hi guys, I got this from IRCC

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your travel history.

· I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence.

· I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.



I have applied for my GCMS notes, Gurus in the house, what do I do?

Try to defer resumption if possible.
Based on the purpose of visit and family ties reason: You’ll have a month headstart when the GCMS comes if you redraft the why Canada, future goals and prospects, and home ties, section of your SOP. From experience I know those reasons mean you need to improve those sections in your SOP. Personally I’ll review the whole SOP and improve it: make better arguments, include better supporting docs etc. Regardless of the specifics of your case, you would eventually need to amend your SOP so why not start earlier ?

Based on your travel history excuse: just make it a point in your introduction to stress if you have / haven’t ever travelled outside of the Country. If the former, attach evidence of passport data pages, stamps and visa pages to support your application. Travel history is hardly ever a significant / primary reason for refusal unless you have a history of overstay. It’s mainly a secondary reason: I know someone who had visited UK, USA, CAN and still had this reason for refusal on a SP application.

[quote author=Fame2me79 post=80351997][/quote]Don’t forget you would still need to write an impressive SOP. And also a LOE to address the reason for your previous program choice and why you’re applying for another program. It can be easily tackled though.

Best wishes.

Fame2me79:
Hello everyone, I just got my note, can anyone advice on what to do next? My application was refused in June.
Bsc: Psychology
Proposed study: ACCA
School: Toronto school of management

Note: Assessment note prepared by NROBI officer and entered into GCMS by OSC. I have reviewed the application. Taking the applicant's plan of studies into account, the applicant does not appear to be sufficiently well established that the proposed studies would be a reasonable expense. The applicant's plan of studies appears vague and poorly documented. The applicant's prior travel history is insufficient to count as a positive factor in my assessment. Weighing the factors in this application. I am not satisfied that the applicant will depart Canada at the end of the period authorized for their stay. For the reasons above, I have refused this application."

What is ACCA ?
Honestly, just work on your SOP, if you’re not willing to put in the work for your SOP then save yourself the troubles, disappointment .. and apply for a course that shows an easy logical progression.

Edhinks:
Hello all.

Please, I would like to get a first hand information on this. I graduated with a health related degree, haven't worked in the health field for a day. It has been IT all the way. I found a school in Canada where I can do MASC in Computer Science but my question is, is it advisable to go for this or will it pose a problem in getting a study permit from the Canadian embassy?

Your input on this will be appreciated.
Thanks.

The beauty of CS is that for the most part, it’s an applied field and there are huge applications of CS in healthcare even if you aren’t currently in the field. Your SOP just has to be a convincing story. You mentioned you have industry experience, if it’s significant and can be proven that’s an advantage. If you can demonstrate why CS, what you stand to gain from it, how it’s beneficial to your future goals and how impactful those goals are in Nigeria to motivate a return home then you should be fine. Higher chance of success if you can tie CS to your previous degree.
Alternatively, get admission for both CS and a health related Masters that’s a logical progression of your previous degree. Apply with the latter and once you get to Canada, you can easily change programs.

Anamekele:
We can talk on the phone if possible because some people on this platform have reviewed my SOP and yet the second application was declined..
I contacted an immigration lawyer who said my documents are OK and that I have a case but like you said is very expensive and time consuming.

Honestly I don’t know why I’m interested in your case. But if you broaden your horizon outside of NL, you’ll know judicial review are mainly lost, based on the sole fact that it’s purely to determine if the VO followed procedural standards when coming to a decision.
And you contacted an immigration lawyer, did you verify their licence ? And frankly speaking what did you expect the lawyer to say ? ‘You don’t have a case, keep your money’
If the lawyer is experienced and in good standing, you can negotiate a 70$/hr fee, keep the lawyer on retainer to review your SOP and supporting docs, people on NL can help you with the rest of your application. You would probably get charged for 5-10 hours depending on how well the initial consultation goes.
Alternatively, go on the IRCC site to get a list of approved agents, there a lots of Nigerian ones, do the same as above but they’re cheaper $25-$40/hr.
Main reason I’m trying to steer you away from JR is the process of reapplication is faster, you spend less and if it’s still unsuccessful it makes more sense to spend the initial ~350$ and be sure about the quality of your application going into JR review, than spending $4k for a decision you’re not sure of, and something that could possibly be solved by just spending $350.

You mentioned your SOP getting reviewed by NL’ers .. I’ve had an SOP reviewed here, sought out about 10, was able to get help from 4. All 4 had vastly different comments, 1 was really hands on providing constructive criticisms, amending / rewriting paragraphs etc. Point of me saying that is to stress that only you can truly review your SOP, the best anyone would give you is advice gained from experience and most times it’s just structural nothing to vastly change your SOP, the onus is on you to pick and choose which advice best suits your situation. Even after getting help from NL, I reviewed my SOP with a CIC certified agent from the international centre in my school, and my final SOP after the adjustment was vastly different from my post NL review SOP. So man .. idk what else to say

jessyeve:
Please I want to send additional information to webform, which address should I use since I don't know where my file is processed and which category should I put it under? I'm paper applicant from Abuja

I haven’t used a web form before and I doubt people would be willing to help you based on your reputation. But just input ‘Canada webform’ in the Nairaland search box, and change the section to travel.
You should find the help you need.

akanbijm2018:
Hello house, please how can I apply for the study permit and coop permit together and what are relevant forms that I need to fill for the coop permit and how Can I convince the visa officer beyond reasonable doubt that I am not intentionally going for work in Canada. please I need help

If applying online and co-op is a requirement for your program, fill out the online questionnaire on the CIC website and come back to ask any further questions.

degxyflexy:
I need a link to where to apply for my gcms note that bro, I have a friend in Canada ready to help me.

If your friend in Canada is a citizen or PR, type Atip in google.
Honestly, you shouldn’t even have to ask, it’s easily accessible on google. It’s also on the links on the first page of this thread.
If the person is not a PR/citizen .. type GCMS note in the search box on here and you’ll see people who have gotten theirs. PM them asking for help, advantage is they’ve used the service so they’ll be able to assist you better.

I still don’t understand why people can’t drop sites that have worked for them in the past.

Anamekele:
Is it possible to seek for judicial review and still reapply while the case us on?
Please house and gurus your advice is needed.

Honestly unless your case is airtight and you have the funds in millions of Naira to spend, just take the refusal, strengthen your application, write a banging SOP, LOE and reapply.
Judicial Review is expensive, time consuming and you might not even win the case. Even if you win, your application gets reviewed by another VO, you don’t know what might happen.
But based on your refusal reason, you know you can improve your SOP, LOE.
I’ll advise you to spend a couple weeks drafting a SOP, don’t worry about length, just consider your background and the story you’re trying to tell and answer all the main points that should be answered in a SOP. Afterwards, contact a couple people for review and prune it based on their suggestions. Once it’s two pages long just improve its readability and get appropriate supporting docs to back significant statements. You can even contact the International student service at your prospective school and they might be able to help.

Montechristo200:
Please how do I convince Canada immigration that I will come back after my undergraduate studies in University of Regina Canada. I was just refused visa this morning on the ground that they are not convince i will come back after my studies. I will really appreciate your guidelines thanks.

In addition to what Makano said, you should review your Application and SOP and access its content from an objective standpoint. You know how much financials you declared, access that and consider options for improvement if you can. Regarding SOP there’s always room for improvement and you’ll be amazed at how much progress you’ll make between now and when the GCMS note comes if you draft a new SOP and get advise with pruning it down to make it succinct.
I’ve experienced this refusal before, and it was because the SOP I thought was fire, was actually mehh. Actually my SOP was just a letter, with irrelevant supporting docs. I know for fact when the GCMS comes it’s going to have something to do with study plans, and having sufficient home ties to motivate a return home.

Saucekide25:
Good morning everyone.

I just got into the thread today haven searched rigorously online on how to start a Canadian Undergraduate study process. If there are any detailed articles on Nairaland or someone is willing to share on how I can start my UNDERGRADUATE study journey in Canada, I would appreciate it.


Thank you.

Read page 1 of this thread. You should find links directing you to pages for all the help you need. You could then ask specific questions to clarify things you don’t understand.

jessyeve:
I think with my little knowledge, work experience with so much study gap should go with small travel, I think VO always wonder why the sudden study after a long time but having a little travel history to Europe, US and so on and obeying the rules of the visa would influence the VO in a positive way, that's u ain't suddenly tired of ur work or something and looking for greener pasture, that's u r genuine and would come back .

You have a point in the sense that if you could reason like that, then what stops a VO from having the same thought. However, there are numerous approval cases involving applicants with virgin passports, just as there are numerous refusals involving applicants with multiple highly regarded visas on their passports.
From experience, VO’s place more emphasis on purpose of visit and travel history is almost always an afterthought. Unless the applicant is planning on travelling to the above listed countries, a well drafted SOP and LOE would address the VO’s concerns without the need to travel.

shinaldo:
Thank you so much for this!

Please can you recommend cheap airlines that I can book my flight to Ontario.

Can I also pm you? I need to to ask some questions as regards settling in Canada as soon as possible.

I haven’t seen anyone post it on Nairaland but studentuniverse is aimed at students. You register with your Canadian school email address. Every single time I’ve checked their flights are usually over 100k cheaper than Nigerian sites.

Honestly we need to be more respectful of opinions on this thread. Instead of questioning ones motive, offer constructive feedbacks. The former derails the thread.
Jessyeve suggestion is valid: but professional SOP could help, get help from an agent.
Ultimately, it is up to degxyflexy to act on the suggestion.
It makes more sense for the guys attacking jessyeve to channel that energy into helping degxyflexy.
Granted there have been a few cases of misrepresentation on the part of agents on this thread, but the people on the receiving end are not victims. That's a bad Nigerian mentality. And extrapolating a couple bad experiences with agents to the whole population of agents does not scream good judgement. Bottom line is you could get help from this forum and an agent, they are independent events. CIC tells you what to look for when using an agent. If you have been swindled by an agent then it is your fault. Point blank. Not an agents fault or another excuse for not taking responsibility. Ignorance is not an excuse.

Leave7777:
Hello everyone, Please is there anyone who knows what to do after being refused based on fake bank account? Got a mail from Lagos immigration also and it's the same document that was sent to my CIC account.

Please help, don't judge, you won't believe me if I said it's not my fault. Just help tho. What can I do? Or if you have heard of anyone, what did the person do? And what happened?

If you have a ban, there’s not much you can do until after the expiration of the ban. Fighting the case is expensive and not just worth it.

You would also need to be more specific about the circumstances and the nature of the fake bank account.

If you want proper advise, post the full situation upfront. Otherwise, there really is no point in asking.

Alday:
Thanks. My LOE/SOP was 4 pages and I treated all the points you attached in a numbered list especially on academic progression, career relationship and Canada vs Nigeria choice aside other home ties, police, (passed) Medicals slip and numbered list of all submitted documents. I even included SOA ticket numbers.

PM me and I’ll review your SOP/LOE. Also try contacting other people on this thread for SOP review help.

Alday:
I have a Btech Financial Mgt (3.86/5) and was offered a postgrad certificate Business Accountancy.




Damn, guys keep up hope if your application is pending. Like I earlier added, this is not the end and it musn't Be Canada.

Please check Philomathhh’s recent post for an example of a good profile.
With that said, I think you should start redrafting your SOP to explain the links between previous courses based on the attached template. Also apply for your GCMS if you’re not planning on reapplying immediately.

If you’re chanced I’ll recommend you read thesoj’s history. Very informative.
