Most times, DHA wants to see this money in the account for 3 months before your visa application. To be on the safe side, i will advise you to fix deposit the money.

chigrad,
Option 1: BSc (Chemistry)____work experience (Business)_____ Intended program PGD (Chemistry)

If you decide to take this route you need to provide a rational explanation to why you haven't been following a career progression ever since you left university. You studied chemistry in your first degree and have been into business for 3 years and now decide to go back to your previous studies in chemistry after spending 3 years in Business. Your reasons must be strong and convincing enough Sir!

Option 2: BSc (Chemistry)____work expertise (Business)____ intended program PGD(Business Admin)

I advise you stick to this since you already have relevant experience in Business and also you have been following a 3 years career progression in Business, it's best you continue with this. You can find a convincing story to put up to why you deviated from your academic pursuit(chemistry) to business. What motivated you into business?, what you will tend to achieve after completion of this program, a brief description of your experience while in Business for the past 3 years.

Finally, the both options listed will scale through only with a good letter of explanation.

All the best!

Bravo02,

An applicant has been following a 3 years career progression that is reasonable inlight with their intending program and now wishes to study a masters degree in Canada to enhance career prospects in Nigeria. Please what made it an Automatic Refusal Sir?



Asapant,
Please don't laugh at someone's predicament, we are here to give answers, suggestions and proffer solutions to prospective applicants not to make mockery of their situation. Moreover the applicant has been following a career progression in his intending program. So I don't understand why you should say it's a red flag, or were you the one that planted the red flag on his application? Please lets try to make things easy for people here.
If you don't have answers to individual query, jump to the ones you have reasonable input on

Thank you!

WEIRDPC:
Thank you
It is possible to secure admission without using an agent.

I don't even see why you should use an agent in the first place.

Declaring a baby isn't an automatic refusal.

what's your plan for the baby ?

Is the baby accompanying you to Canada?

The onus is on you to convince the Visa officer what your plans are. Show the Visa officer your plans on how to take care of the baby while in school. Register the baby in a pre school before applying. Show evidences of additional funding to cater for the baby and you will fine

Best wishes

chigrad,
You should present this with passion and full interest. There is nothing bad changing career path. Since you are business incline for the past 3 years and going for MBA shouldn't be a problem here. I must say your SOP was not properly written and convincing enough to the visa officer.

Changing a program that is reasonable in light with your previous studies/job role does not in any way sound desperation. Just that, You have to go through the process of securing Admission from the scratch. Which is quite stressful.

I advise you present your previous case well, other than going through admission process all over again. But if you feel you can't convince the visa officer then you can go for a program that is related to your previous studies. I believe a strong SOP should help your case here.

Shalom!

How did you go about requesting for your gcms note? I need to order mine too.

chigrad,
This is very easy to tackle. Since you said you previously studied Chem for your first degree and having been into business for the past 3 years and intending to go for a business administration for your masters. You need to explain this to the Visa officer that there is a career progression in your pursuit and endeavor to write convinincly why you choose to pursue business admin for your masters degree and why you deviated from chemistry to business after your first degree. Try as much as possible to link your job role to your intended program on your SOP.

This is what the visa officer require from you and when this is done, you will be fine.

chigrad:
Hello All, Please I need your advise.
I want to ask questions related to proof of fund for study permit.
The funds you declare in SOA must it be after school fees payment?
Can statement be printed prior to school fees payment and the receipt of payment included in the application to show that that deduction was actually for school fees.
Example; if the living cost is AUD 20,000 and one has equivalent of AUD27,000 printed statement , now paid AUD12,000 for fees, now left with AUD15,000.Can this fly as now in the physically has 15k while the SOA has 27K, consider the monthly inflow is consistent and the account has a good turn over during 6 months period.

For Fixed deposit,
Does the date the start date of the fixed deposit matter? or must it as well reflect that the money has been fixed for like 3 months before visa application date?
Thanks.

It is very posible but the chances is 50/50 while applying alone is 80/20. My wife applied first and the visa was granted in less than two months am planing to package my application soon with my little boy, I would say u should do yours first

Yooku:
Not advisable pls. You never know how it will come back and bite you one day. Any reason why you want to apply as single?

Dammiehar:
If this job was not in Canada, you will not be getting any points for it. You can just include it in your spouse's personal history, you will not have to provide any reference. If his present job is also not in Canada, just put it in personal history too, except you want to include it in work history and be asked to provide a reference letter that you don't need.
