Hello ItzChapel,

You can send IRCC a CSE or email yo inquire about your application. However, work permit can take a while to process and remember, all application ain't the same.

All the best.

treeofhelp,

You've a very good profile that can land you a TRV approval. It seems like you didn't write convincingly to why you're travelling to Canada to undertake your proposed program. Your home ties to Nigeria how was it addressed in your SOP? Did you list out the above documents (landed properties, and registered Bussiness) and explain in detail how those properties would induce your return after studies? Did you also let the visa officer know that you're leaving your beloved family behind and will be coming back to reunite with them?,. I am very much interested in your next application, your chances of getting approval is high.

Yes it is very possible to apply for funding at any age. Canadian schools truly do not see age as a barrier to learning. An overwhelming number of school in Canada stand for the proposition that it is never too late to study. Usually the only people that make such a fuss on age are the VOs. They have a tendency of questioning why people are going for school at such age, thinking they won't be genuine students. I think it's how they were trained as visa officers on how to spot out the genuine from the fake study permit applicants. Whether they are right or wrong in using age, is another subject.

That said, I do not think your friend will encounter any issues anymore because he returned to school and redeemed himself by scoring a first class. He is the ideal candidate to bag admission and funding from Canadian schools. And since he has returned to school and graduated recently, it means he has no long study gap, the key factor that goes in tandem with age, why VOs usually doubt the legitimacy of whether one will be a genuine applicant.

In a nutshell, your friend is good to go. He has redeemed himself by earning a first class, therefore making himself highly attractive in the applicant pool for admission and funding. He has also no long study gaps (time since last enrolled in school) that makes VOs doubt the the genuiness of one's study. Issa goal for your friend with good planning ahead.

Ps: perfectly okay to have money in account if he pursued work and school at the same time or recently or in the past after graduation. Although pursuing work after graduation is better to have. He can use his bank statement and explain how he earned the money.

Mr Knowitall Visa Officer. I have been so quiet on this thread but I have to reply this. This is the most proud, condescending and annoying reply I have seen here. There's really no known formular for this visa thing. We have seen ppl put up airtight applications but still were denied. We have seen those who didn't even submit Sop or some other documents and were approved. This thread is for sharing ideas and encouragement. The lady was probably devastated. That kind of crass reply is abhorrent, biko. You're not God and you don't know it all.
Lastly, I see people here asking others for help with writing sop. You are the only one who can write your own sop, because you understand your situation/condition. If at this stage of life, you can't write an sop for yourself in your own words, then you don't deserve a graduate degree. it's okay to ask for guidance though. My 2 cents

Asapant:
Good morning Great people. I Want to say something.. Some PGD applicants are truly the course of their denial. I was going through previous threads and I saw a law graduate from the uNiversity who was deniad based on purpose of visit. He graduated Law and secured admissions for human resource managanent in Conestoga.

Law and HRM aren't related !!

From the V.O's perspective. He looks desperate and apparently not serious with studies. I guess..

These people are even making it more difficult for TRV to fall on genuine PGD applicants..

My lil advice : Anyone going for PGd MUST try as much as possible to make his/her intending program to be ALMOST SYNONYMOUS to previous study..

Bosses is the house I hail... Na with respect i make my submission

Dennis2000:

Can anyone help me out because i should resume january 1st 2018 for winter session but i will differ my admission but pls when can i reapply. Thanks

Asihanmi:
Thank you BRANDYAK for the prompt response and feedback.

My first worry is that the last application I did my elder sister was my Co sponsor. (My spouse 's personal account doesn't have huge funds in it however we both run a joint account that has funds up to N4.4M. I plan to make part tuition payment of $CAD 10,000 (Can't afford afford to pay more than that for now because the St Mary's international students office recommended that pay into $CAD 20,000 or all of first year tuition fee!!!) whenever I'm reapplying based on my initial refusal.

My second challenge is if my elder sister and spouse can be my Co sponsor alongside my self or better still my elder sister transfers more funds into my account. (hope this won't be a red flag by the VO since I plan to reapply by last week of January 2018 so that my spouse and I will be responsible only for the funding.
Meanwhile I have registered CAC documents(it is enterprises) though haven't opened a bank account with it yet.
Lastly my concern as regards "no correlation between my course of study for first degree , job role and intended program is worrisome" My first degree is computer science and I have been a sales person in the banking sector for 5 years (part of what I do is to drive electronic channels which is IT related.) I choose MTEI master of Technology and Entrepreneurial innovation be sure it has both technology and finance. This is felt will bring the gap between my job role, future plans andy first degree course. I bet insight on how to convince the VO in this regards when reapplying.

Phew sorry for the long epistle just need assistance for application that will be ready for submission in about a month's time. I anticipate your contributions.

Good morning house, i just downloaded my gcms consent form and i have some questions to ask
1. Am i to feel the section C(no 3) on the consent form where it states "YOU MUST WRITE YOUR DESIGNATED INDIVIDUAL'S CONTACT NUMBER".
2. Is the CAAG reference number on my visa application or the visa tracking number sent to me by vfs is the UCI? And if not please how will i go about the UCI number? @BRANDYAK and other gurus in the house help me out..

Dominic147:
Wow! Thanks for the response and d advice I'm so grateful. I realized i made mistake not adding my employment details with my app and i will work on more on my sop this time around.. i graduated 2014 from chemical engineering dept and i graduated with 2.2. Initially i wanted to opt in for a master's program but i couldn't get any uni that will accept 2.2 in canny that is why i applied for these pgd program.. i really appreciate ur advice and pls i will like to ask a favour from u which is u vetting my sop before submission.. thanks so much i really appreciate. I can't thank u enough

Soothing:
So I got a mail to check my application status, thinking it was a medical mail. And all I saw was final decision made, we regret you are not eligible. Very bad!

Asihanmi:
I reapplied to St Mary's university for MTEI program (Master of Technology and entrepreneurship innovation) since they don't defer graduate admission. I was offered admission 1st December for a start program September 2018. I plan to apply for study permit by last week in January 2018.
Now my clarifications are s follows:
1. Is it advisable that I use my spouse as my sponsor? (we have a joint account that has funds in it even though my spouse's personal /salary account does have substantial turnover. Also, recall that when I last applied for study permit that is was denied I used my elder sister as my Co sponsor.
2. I need your suggestions on what can address home ties. (GCMS states that I don't have home ties meanwhile I have Canadian trv that is had used early this year.
3. Standard sample SOP to address this creation raised on my denial.
Further suggestions are welcome.

Dominic147:
Thanks for the reply bro... i stated everything in my statement of purpose
1. The program is process quality engineering and it's a pgd program.
2. It was stated in my sop why i wanted to study the course abroad and my plans after the program and why d program is important to me.
3. The 6mil was paid to my personal account and not my dorm acc and i backed the statement up with a letter of sponsorship from my dad stating the he paid d money to my account and d money is accessible by me.
4. I studied chemical engineering in my first degree and the program is a bit related to my previous course of study. Your swift reply will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Boss, masters in business administration with intention of majoring in finance. I chose MBA as it seems reasonable progression in my career. As to your last question, I don't think I was able to convince the VO as to why I can't study MBA in Nigeria. I will be needing help here
