Hello. I’m not a guru but from your GCMS note, your fund doesn’t seem like the problem. The problem might have been from your statement of purpose(SOP) You did not explain how the course would be beneficial to you considering the huge money you’ll be spending on it. And maybe your SOP was not well written.

13 million alone with a tuition of 33k is not enough. You need tuition+ at least 10,000 CAD for living expenses. And your sponsor should still have something left.

I hope the gurus @frankrobbn1 and others would throw more light into this. All the best

alexflint20:
Taking the applicants 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.

Above is what my GCMS note says.
Profile for my last application Sep 2019
Age 28years
Graduated with 2;1 in Electrical Electronics Engr and got admitted for masters in Information Technology security
Got employed at a Telecom service provider company immediately after NYSC 2016 till date
Documents submitted; B.eng cert, sponsorship letters from Aunt and husband who resides in US, their bank statements(all joint accounts) and property documents
Nb; Bank statements are well funded, even pay slips showing they are well paid annually
Also submitted their Birth certificate alongside my parents own to show my aunt and dad have same parents


Now, i want to re-apply and wish to get advice, these are what changed
Got admission to a better ranking school than the other, the first school ranked about 5k in the world while the present is ranked about 1k in the world and about 30 in canada
Using my mums account statements as a sponsor (having about 13m, could be increased if neccessary) school fees 33k
Wrote IELTS exam

Your advice is highly needs as i need opinions as to also go ahead to apply for winter (jan) 2021 as time seems limited or should i defer the admission again and apply for next year?
Also does the foreign account statement used earlier a factor?

I will answer any more questions needed
Regards

Hello,

I’m not a guru but from what I know, number 2 will most likely lead to a refusal.

As for number 3, if you are self sponsored and can’t prove total funds, it might lead to a rejection too, they would want to know how you would raise the remaining money needed while in Canada without working more than the permitted time for students. Though only 1 year tuition and 1 year living expense is required to be shown, I think they will want to see how you would pay for the remaining year since you are self sponsored.

buggi102kruse:
Good day house, your contributions are wonderful.

Pls I need advise here!
Someone currently works as Financial Sales Executive with 2yrs experience in an insurance company, though has BSc in Human Physiology.

Now, got admission in two schools both are 2yr programs, courses are International Business Administration (IBA), tuition/living exp for 2yrs is 41k CAD
and the other is Strategic Marketing Communications (SMC), tuition/living exp for 2yrs is 54k CAD.

Concerns:
1. He can afford to self sponsor IBA which is 41k but does International Bus Adm relate to financial Sales executive enough to convince VO?

2. His traditional ruler can afford to sponsor him in Strategic Marketing Communications -54kCAD which the applicant can't afford to self sponsor. But the king is not willing to provide an account statement whether his personal acct or community acct. However, he insist that the 1yr tuition and 1yr living exp will be transferred to the student's account. Also willing to provide intro letter stating that the 2nd yrs tuition/expenses will be provided in the end of the first yr. Will VO accept this?

3. For a 2yrs course, if someone has tuition for 2yrs and living expenses for 1yr, will it be a red flag if it's a self-sponsored trip?

Pls your contributions will be helpful

Sorry to hear about your rejection. You did not provide any information about your application, so no one can offer any advice.

Please kindly share your profile (Age, current employment, etc) and all the documents you submitted.

Also, please order your GCMS note. This will show a more specific reason why you were denied as the reasons stated in your refusal letter are generic. You can google GCMS note and you’ll see how to order it. It can take up to 30 days to be ready and you need to pay about $12 for it.

I’ll advice you not to rush to reapply until you get your GCMS notes, so you can tackle the issues raised by the visa officer to avoid another refusal.

Wisdomchigbu:

Hello! Maiden name is her original surname before marriage, not her mother’s name(except she was using her mother’s name before marriage)

Also, if she filled her marital status as “married” and attached her marriage certificate it would show that she’s married to her husband. Therefore, the different surnames shouldn’t be a problem.

It’s not new/strange in developed countries for women to keep their maiden names after marriage. So it shouldn’t cause any conflict.

Chukwubuikexo:
Posting your profile would throw more light on the “purpose of visit" reason.

Plus don't you think you using your maiden name while showing you are married would cause a little bit of conflict on your intentions to the VO, you maybe submitted other documents that had you husband's surname. You used your mother's name(maiden name) while your Dad is your sponsor, probably that suggests to the VO that you aren't close to your Dad, thus, ”the financial status" reason.

You could build your husband's account balance before reapplying, use him as your main sponsor(it strengthens home ties), then add your Dad and brother as cosponsors

Hello, I think you should post on the EE thread. People there should be more informed about this. All the best.

Oghogho1313:
Hi able Gurus in the house. Does the BCS IT certification give you points like a masters for the EE? One needs to be looking at all angles now with the spate of rejections.

Someone pls help with more information and link to resources on the certification.

Hello. Yes it is IOM. Kindly send an email to iomabujamedicalbooking@iom.int

“Kindly inform us your preferred date for the test for proper booking of appointment, bearing in mind that we do not attend to e-medical cases on Fridays and do not work over the weekends”

It costs 46,500 Naira if you’re 15 years and above. After sending an email with your preferred date, they’ll reply you to confirm it and provide account details for payment, address (it’s in Asokoro) and further details.

If you have any more questions, I’d be happy to answer.

Godsblessings:
Hello house , pls I need the address of where to take the medical examination in abuja , cost and how to book for the appointment. Is it IOM or where?

Hello, please we’re not allowed to post 3rd party websites here to avoid been blocked

milkytins:
Please, is it safe to use https://www.gcmsbuddy.com/ to order GCMS notes? Or is there a better option?

Will appreciate your quick reply.

Is your admission still valid? Is the letter still valid? If yes, I think you should be able to use it again (my personal opinion)
Update: if the start date showing on the LOA cannot be met, as in it’s not possible to start that semester, please defer and get a new LOA. The start date is important.

Uki247:
House to reapply do u need a new LOA?

I’m sorry to hear about your refusal. I’ll advice you to order your GCMS notes to see the specific reason for the refusal. It can take up to 35 days and costs $12. If a Canadian citizen/PR applies on your behalf, it’s $5.

Did you submit a sponsorship letter? How many years is your course?

I’m not an expert but an applicant myself, but from my little knowledge, it would have been nice to have an amount enough for tuition and living expenses in your account. Your tuition alone is over 10 million. You also needed to show 10,000 CAD for living expenses. Your sponsor wouldn’t be able to release all the money in her account. So your finances might have been a bit tight.

Did you submit source of income for your sponsor? (Pay slips? Proof of business?)

After getting your GCMS and seeing the exact reason, please tackle it. Also, paying your tuition ahead would prove your capabilities. All the best.

demiiii:
Hello guys,

How do I tackle this?



I am refusing your application on the following grounds:

• Pursuant to paragraph 220(a) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and
available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the tuition fees for the course or
program of studies that you intend to pursue.

• Pursuant to paragraph 220(b) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and
available financial resources, without working in Canada, to maintain yourself and any family
members who are accompanying you during your proposed period of study.

You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can
demonstrate



I had over 5.68m in my account and sch fees is $37k
I had my mum as my sponsor account of N15m and husband Account of 3m as co sponsor.
I have sibling with a PR in canada
I included four landed properties of shared by myself and husband.
I included my mums landed properties too.
I applied alone and did not include any of my 4kids and hubby.I attached birth cert, job details etc

The sch doesn't require I pay the fees yet
No 1 is accompanying me.

What options did your school give you on the letter asking for payment?

LordAA:

DINO71:
How does one post on the forum, im only able to comment please

Hello, I’m sorry to hear about the refusal. Please make sure you order her GCMS notes before reapplying. It will show the exact or a more specific reason why she was rejected. What was written in the refusal letter is a bit generic. After you get the GCMS notes, you can work on the problem and reapply. The note can take up to 35 days to arrive and it costs $12. You can google “GCMS notes” to see how to apply for one. All the best

mazeb:
My sister’s application was rejected by IRCC today based on home ties and getting employment in home country. However, she has started her online classes this September 2020.

She is confident that she can address the issues raised but the question now is :

1 How soon can she reapply.
2 Can she use the same documents before and add LOE.
3. How long is the reapplication process likely to take to enable her know if she can continue with her online lectures.

Hello, you can visit the website of the program you’re interested in. Check the admission requirements for international students and start preparing your documents, if anything is not clear you can mail the university, an email will be available on the website. All the best

Oluwatosin2000:
Hello everyone, I need help on how to begin my application to university of Manitoba or Brandon university. I can’t send pm to people here. Please I need someone to help me out������

Hello, what happens when you try to book? I booked recently and everything went well.

Godsblessings:
Please house ,. I have been trying to book appointments for my sis ion VFS global but it has not been successful oo , what could be wrong ? Which brouser are ppl using cos I used chrome . Help ooo

Hello, since you know the school and program you want, you can visit the program’s website and check for the admission requirements. I did that, this is what I saw “Graduate diploma, MASc, MEng – Bachelor's degree (minimum second class or ‘B’ standing) in an appropriate area of study“
So your B.Sc should be good. Please visit the program’s website and familiarize yourself with every info on it. All the best

Olaidecool:
Hi guys!

I studied B.Sc Electrical Engineering at my undergraduate level, I want to apply for M.Eng Electrical Engineering in Newfoundland University.

Please is it possible to apply for M.Eng course with B.Sc certificate. Thanks

Hello, I’m sorry to hear about your refusal. Could you share your profile (age, previous course studied and level, course applied for and level, how much and what proof of funds you showed, any work or study gap, current employment, did you use a sponsor? How is your sponsor related to you etc) and the documents you submitted. That way gurus in the house might be able to make speculations on what might have gone wrong. What reason was given for the refusal? Lastly, the best way to know the exact reason is to order your GCMS notes, google GCMS notes and you’ll see how to order it, it’s costs about $12 or $5 dollars if a Canadian citizen/PR orders it for you. The notes will show the visa officers comment on your refusal.

LumiTee:
Good morning house. I just received a final decision on my study permit application that was submitted 48hrs ago. They said my application was rejected. I submitted my application on September 21 (last Monday) , got biometric request letter on Tuesday and yesterday I got a refusal message! Please what is going on? Could it have been that I did something wrong?

Lol please keep calm and stop trying to make connections where there isn’t any. The guy in the video said he doesn’t think applications are being assessed carefully because they might be rushing to clear back log. So I’m not sure how you made this connection and reached this conclusion. In all we do please let’s keep calm and not create panic. Thank you

NairaLuck:
There's nothing to scan through again. Obviously she's qualified, I just hope this update of 57,000 AIPs given won't affect future application review maybe that's why that guy in the video said we should stop putting in application for now

Maybe there's a bench mark for the year

Yes, I saw that. I’m just wondering if a reason was stated.

Annettevoke:
he change it from passed to fail.

Wow! Any reason for the failed eligibility? I can’t see any as the VOs final notes looks positive.

Uki247:
House pls vet this note. So sad this VO are like this.

Still yet they sent medical request on the 22nd July when they have failed eligibility since May.

Good morning, with 2.2, you’re unlikely to secure a master’s admission successfully. PGD or PGC (post graduate diploma/post graduate certificate) is a good fit. If you apply for an undergraduate degree, you’ll need to explain to and convince the visa officer in your letter why you need another undergraduate degree and this won’t be easy I must say. There is no easy way for anything, please start reading this thread from page 1, read it gradually and your knowledge will grow and you’ll understand how Canadian study permit applications work. If something isn’t clear, feel free to ask the group. All the best.

kasmilla:
Mr Frank I need your advice ,as a graduate with 2.2 in civil engineering . , Should I apply for masters programs or go for undergraduate University visa. Which one of them will be more quicker in getting a visa and less costly. I really need to leave this country.

It looks like a diploma to me (to be 100% sure, send them an email) also have you looked at the admission requirements? Please check and be sure that you meet the requirements. All the best

nyengisam:
https://bowvalleycollege.ca/programs-courses/community-studies/early-childhood-education-and-development-diploma
Good day please I would like to know if this is a diploma course or a post graduate diploma course and what chance do I have to get a visa if my B.A is in linguistics and communication studies but I've been an early child educator for 4 years . thanks

Hello, did you watch the video fully? I think you didn’t understand my last comment. He addressed the rejections and was giving suggestions on how it can be tackled. And the suggestions were related to home ties, while the rejection reason was purpose of visit. Two different things. I hope you understand what I’m saying now.

NairaLuck:
Actually what he meant was that IRCC isn't processing applications as it ought to be. They're just addressing application with the aim to reduce backlog applications they are also overwhelmed too so no time to critically examine applications.

Then from my understanding the denial on the purpose of visit maybe, despite the pandemic we're still defering even tho we can study online yet we still want to come which questions our real intention.

Lastly, the recent update of 57,000 AIPs don't we think they're approaching their target for the year?

Maybe rules need to be made to maintain order in the group. It’s getting too bad. If your post isn’t going to help others or if you’re not asking questions, kindly desist from posting it. Think about every post properly before hitting the submit button, please. If your post is about any controversial issue, please do not post it. We are all adults here, let’s act it please. For the newbies, welcome. Please endeavor to read through the thread from the beginning. Check from page one and take it one step at a time, asking people to help is good, but nobody can give you all the information you need. You can only get it by reading! Read from the beginning, read other threads, google, read your university or college’ website. Many have information about visa applications. If you do not understand anything, feel free to ask. But don’t just ask that someone tells you everything in one post. Please put in effort. All the best to everyone. May our dreams come true.

Please let’s try to maintain decorum on the group and avoid controversial issues like religion, politics etc. The group was created for a reason, please let’s focus on that. Thank you all.

Your GCMS note is very important. Share a screen shot of the VOs final note and your profile (age, course studied previously, course you’re going for now, age, any educational or work gap, what you do now etc) and also the documents you submitted. Without that, no one can give any reasonable advice. Also it’s important to know your exact problem so you can fix it before reapplying to avoid another rejection. The processing time shows 27 weeks but we are in a different time (covid) so nothing is black and white. People are still putting in their visa application for January regardless of the processing time. All the best

alexflint20:
Thanks so much.
My GMCS note is basically vague description about reason for travel and poor documentation or so.
My main question is, IRCC website is showing processing time of about 27weeks now, which is more than 3 months remaining for my school to start.
Normally it takes approx 3 months for processing visas from nigeria, please correct me if am wrong

Best Regards

Hello, please order you GCMS notes before you reapply. It would show the exact reason why you were denied as the reasons you posted below are generic. Google GCMS notes and you’ll see how to order it. It costs about 12 dollars. I wish you all the best

Chizzymuna:

My sponsor is my dad, though am married. My hubby is a banker but his salary is not sufficient. My name in the application is my maiden name. I have visitors visa in USA and Canada thou both are expired this year. my daughter is a USA citizen. I also used my brother based in Canada as additional sponsor apart from my dad.

Good morning friends please I need a sample of recommendation letter for my aunt who's going with two kids. The husband is a pastor.. Please help out.. Thanks

Hello, do you mean visa applications or admission applications? For visa: you can apply once you have your documents ready. For admissions it might already be a bit late, depending on how long it takes to get the letter of acceptance from the institution.
