Hello good afternoon everyone. I will be very grateful if someone can help me with proper clarification on this. When applying to university of Saskatchewan for a Postgraduate Diploma course in mechanical engineeany is it necessary to apply for a supervisor since it is a courses Diploma?

Rootiab:
Memorial University. Masters of Education - Education Technology

this is a distance learning program, and attendance on campus is not required which means getting a visa will be a problem

Hello, good day to everyone. Please i need clarification and directions. I resent got refused Visa in August 2020. Before the refusal i differed my admission, and when i saw my Visa was refused, i asked for a refund now the school instead of refunding me back my money, i was sent a covid19 readiness awareness. One of the refusal reasons was study progression. My question now is, i studied Science and technical education (mechanical/metal works option) in the university, and how do i show study progression for this course of study, because it has the background of both Mechanical and Education embedded in it or should i still try my luck with the project management i have experience in. Please advise.

Hello Chloe3,

In my best opinion, if the work experience is still current and/or active, stick with the Project Management. That way, you can easily establish a claim of professional development or career progression from a wide perspective.

Again, I want to assume you're a Nigerian. When the two courses you've selected are placed for comparison either in terms of good employment prospect and lucrativeness in Nigeria labour market, Project Management has a better prospect. Please, don't misquote me, I am not trying to demeaning education as a good profession. This was based on my level of understanding.

All the best

Thank you. Which profession will likely get me a job faster in Canada between project management and education

Engager69:
My advice get your GCMS note to be sure how to tackle the purpose of visit

Thanks for your response. The reasons are what the VO said in my GCMS notes

Anon123:
Sorry for your denial. In the last app, what program did you gain admission for. Is it project management? If yes, you should stick to it cos changing to education when you have no experience in it isnt cool

Thank you for your response. I only differed my admission to January 2021

Good day to every one. I appreciate the efforts of the gurus in the house to couch others to achieve success. i also have a concern i will like everyone to comment on or advice me on. My Visa was denied last two months and reasons where economic ties and study/career progression. AkA; purpose, ties.
I want to re-apply and i want to change my course of study, my bsc is in technical education, and i have 2yrs experience in project management. But now i want to go for pgd in education so that there will be a study progression is this ok or i should stick to the projects management i used to apply initially?

Pee2Jay9:
This is like the first notes I'm seeing that seems really truthful. I'll agree that the VO did his /her job well for being this detailed, it shows that the application was properly assessed. If I was young as u, I'll do a 1 year MBA here in Nigeria and enter the Express entry pool. With high scores from IELTS and increased work experience, your score will be very high in a few years and you will get it if PR is still available, and no VO will be able to discretionarily deny u visa.

But if you choose to reapply, I don't know what else you can change since you confirmed that your personal and financial assets are low.

Yes my personal finance is low at the moment but my sponsor which is my sister will be covering all my expenses with a statement of $54,000 USD. My question is, do i need to submit my own bank statement along side her's ?

Refusal reason from GCMS note

Applicant is a 27year old single Nigerian. Applicant is employed as asst project manager. Applicant holds a bsc. In technical education. Applicant is applying to study project management in Centennial College in Toronto.
I have considered the information provided by the applicant, given applicant previous education/employment history and the high cost of studies in Canada, this doesn't appear to be a logical progression of study/career. Given the economic motive to remain in Canada, the applicant incentive to remain in Canada may outweigh there ties to their home country. Weighing the factors in the application. I am not satisfied that the applicant will depart Canada at the end of the period authorized for there stay. Application refused: ties, purpose.

Please gurus in the house. I want to re-apply
Initially my bank statement was not included because sincerely am depending sole on my sponsor and my sponsor is the one covering for all the expenses. Do i need to include my account statement since on my first application I provided a study leave from where am working. And how do i show economic motive that i wont remain in Canada, since that's one of the concerns of the visa officer

Thank you

Please guys, i need your contributions on this, i want to re-apply

Hello Chloe3,

From what seem to be stated in the VO's notes, the two point refusal reasons should be critically addressed using the concerns in the notes. All what seems to be done is try to rework and improve more on the letter. The raised concerns should be properly spelt out. You may want to look out how your personal funds too.

The cost of your education is way to high and there should be need to tell the VO how the cost is intended to be offset and its benefits that warrants a whooping 25k for a certificate program.

Hint:

1. Address your HT from an economic standpoint and ensure to demonstrate good level of establishment in your CoR or HC. Don't just dump any document.

2. Focus on improving your letter. This should properly explain the purpose of any added documents and the economical benefit of the course towards your career or current place of work (if you are not underemployed).

3. Address your financial status. Demonstrate that aside your sister's funds, you are capable of meeting certain of your financial needs especially your LE. Include your BS.

25k is a whole lot of money, at least make a payment to your prospect DLI.


All the best

Thank you very much for your response. I didn't present my personal account initially because i do empty it before the month runs out through other investment platforms I'm involved with. And my payment ain't always regular and mostly from my boss account because of high charges on company account. Truth is my sister is my sole sponsor and i can't afford it without her support. I earn just 200k. And if my company dont have a project to execute we get paid 70k. I paid a 2650 CAD as tuition deposit already and my admission is for January intake.

Please help me to understand most of your abbreviations.

Lekiboboe:
Really, if you were aware when he was filling the form, he should have asked you and then relate the Question in the forum

Yes, there is no PG.Cert in the drop down options.
Since he was going for a PG.Cert, what he ought to have selected is College Certificate not Diploma. So his selection in the IMM(SP form) has contradicted his LOA (PG.Cert.).

He should have submitted his ID Card , that would have also complimented the letter the organization gave him.

I would assume his Sponsor would be be his Dad or Mum, or Sibling since he didn't upload his bank statement due to the irregular payment he gets from the organization he works.

He just confirmed now, what he selected was not Diploma instead College certificate. His sponsor is our sister who is in USA and also a citizen

Hi Chloe,

Sorry about your Brother's Refusal

From the GCM Text,

Its clear there is no Logical Progression & Career Progression

Since your Brother is employed as an Ass. Project Manager, why did your brother go for an Ordinary Diploma in Project Management instead of a PGD/PG.Cert in Project Management? This is what I feel made his Purpose of Study Vague

Cos from my own Point of View, a Visa Officer might have concluded that, your Brother would likely be aiming for a Promotion/Progression in that organization from an Ass. Project Manager to a Project Manager or Snr. Project Manager, thereby making a PGD/PG.Cert an Upgrade to his Career

You can also share his Profile (list the documents he submitted for this application) so members in house can know some other areas that caused the Refusal and give personalized advice

Thank you very much for your response. The program he applied for is actually a postgraduate certificate course. He said that while filling his SP forms that he was asked what certificate to be obtained after his study in Canada, but there was no postgraduate diploma on the option drop down on the forms, so he just selected the Diploma that was there since he was not going for a master's, PHD or a degree program. He clearly stated it on his LOA that he wanted to advance his career that and the company also said on there letter that he will be advance/promoted upon completion of his study because they are willing to retain him. He also said he didn't submit his ID card, bank statement or payslip because his payment was not regular and most at time his boss pay him from his own account.

Hello house, please help, my brother was refused Visa.
He ordered for his GCMS note and discovered he was refused. His refusal reasons are in the image.

Tonyodg:
Wait you was denied and you haven’t done biometrics ?? If you have done biometrics already it’s valid for 10 years you don’t need to pay for or do another biometrics

Also you agent is lying your denial has nothing to do with your course registration at all

Thirdly I am really sorry for your denial you was denied on purpose of visit with a good standard SOP and LOE I’m sure by Gods grace you would get your visa on your next trial ..
I ask again have you done your biometrics before ??

How long is medical valid?

Hello Chloe3,

The photocopy won't be a problem. The more reason you should briefly address it in your letter. Since your name bears therein as the second highest shareholder, it goes a long way. Only make sensitive facts if you have tangible evidence. If you intend to demonstrate any inherited property, at least show proof.

All the best

Thank you very much

JustMellow:
Hello Chloe3,

Does the landed property connect with your return and is there evidence that clearly show the connection, especially having your name imprinted in most of the sensitive documents?! If there is, with a terse LOE, send through CSE along with your BS. As a matured applicant, its advised to attach one even without the payslip.

For those people who have gotten their GCMS notes, kindly share any resourceful updates so we can begin to assume again.

All the best

It is my dad's name that is on the documents. I only inherited it from him. It's only the company board resolution that have my name as the second highest share holder of the company and the problem is it is a photo copy, i was unable to find the original copy of it except the landed documents and CAC certificate

Hello gurus in the house, please help me with a constructive approach to my situation. I applied for study permit since June 6th I have not heard from the embassy again after my biometrics request, I applied for GCM note today. After a thorough search online about the study permit application, I feel I did not support my application with enough home ties (documents).

On my application I presented a study leave and didn’t include a payslip or bank statement because my boss mostly pay me cash and do transfer sometimes. My dad left us with a gas station which I placed it on lease till 2021 to arrange the burial. I have original document for the property (land survey, building plan ) except the resolution of the company board member which is a photocopy(and i am the second in place to make decisions aside my dad) and original of CAC certificate. should I send this document through web form to support my application, which includes landed property, CAC registration which are all in my dads name?
