Hello Forum!

I'm sorry to say this today, I no longer accept Pm's. Please if you know you PMed me and did not get a response from me, don't be offended.
I did this for the sake of this great forum, If you continue asking me questions outside this forum and I am giving answers to them, I am not doing good to the forum. What will be the fate of intending applicants and people of the same situation like you, how would they learn from it.

Please and please kindly ask your questions here so that the gurus can input their suggestions or better still quote my post I'll respond to your questions accordingly.

I'm sorry for any inconveniences this might cause. It will end in praises.
Thank you!

gbemiigbal,

You have to be excerise patience okay, most of these supervisors don't like applicant bombarding them with mails upon mails.
Great! You have gotten acceptance from Uwinnipeg, and there is a career progression. Please don't do the mistake of letting the visa officer know that you're using this PGD as a pathway to your masters in Canada. They will tag you as not a genuine student that will over stay his visa in Canada.

Was your CGPA up to the minimum requirement for Canadian universities? (2.1). If your CGPA is okay, please i advise you stick for a Masters program than a PGD.

Chances are slim but not impossible. Are you going for MSc or PGD. If PGD it takes by the grace of God. Provide a rational explanation to why you are going for a year program in Canada. Is there any academic progression for your intended program. Explain this to the Visa officer on your SOP.

What if one didn’t get a 2 year and above study program. I already have letter of offer for a year course and just praying and praying that my Masters letter of offer will come. What if I don’t have the Masters admission.
Hello adexyz91,
On behalf of the forum we say we are deeply sorry about the outcome of your application.

Sir/Ma,
Your GCMS note is clearly pointing at your home ties, the job offer you presented. The visa officer is not satisfied that such job offer will compell your return back home, your family too they are not satisfied your family can compel your return back home, you have not convinced the visa officer the benefits of studying such program in Canada rather than Nigeria, there are limited proof of property and assets which can compel your return back home.

Below listed are what you can do to tackle the concerns of the visa officer :

1-) Start by drafting a wonderful SOP/LOE clearly stating why such course deserves to be taken in Canada rather than Nigeria.
2-) The benefits of such course after completion of studies in Canada.... Go as far as convincing the visa officer that the chances of securing a job in Nigeria is very high after studies in Canada.
3-) Let them know you're a genuine student and you're applying in good faith(strictly for studies and nothing else) and you will be coming back after your studies in Canada.
4-) Please the job offer you included do away with it in your next application( As the Visa officer said that the employment evidence does not constitute a tie to your home country)
5-) Let them know you're not using study permit as means to facilitate entry into Canada, by letting them know that there are better living/job opportunities here in Nigeria after your studies in canada(proof them wrong that Nigeria is not a troubled Nation).... You and I know say na troubled nation sha
6-) In your next application try as much as possible to include assests/properties in your name okay, it will go a long way in addressing personal assests raised by the Visa officer.
7-) Add each and every members of your family birth certificates (All your siblings) in next your application.
8-) Lastly, change your course to a 2 years and above program, that is reasonable to your previous studies/job role.

If you do the above 8 mentioned. Your next application will be a success.

All the best!

Sir!
Hope the said terminal benefits of 12M can be easily accessible and exported to Canada for your use? Because thats what the visa officer wants to be sure of and you need to provide proof to your claims, so you don't be a burden to the Canadian government.
Are you self sponsored? Personal savings 5.6M is good to an extent, but it really depends on what you are going to Canada to study, your tuition fees and living expenses.

Frankrobbn1:


Hello gbemiigbal,

To the best of my knowledge i believe this has to do with personal loan secured by terminal benefits i.e the company you work for writes a letter to the bank confirming that if you leave they will pay off the loan using your terminal benefits and that your salary will be paid to that bank for the duration of the loan.?

How much is allocated to you as your terminal benefits??
How much is your tuition fees and living expenses 10KCAD?
Can this benefits settle for your tuition and living expenses?

These are the questions you ask yourself.
if it can settle for your expense in Canada and can be accounted for, then you use it.
Well generally cic accepts loans as Proof of funds, but can't really tell about terminal benefits.

Frankrobbn1:


Boss! I'm sorry to see your visa got refused.
I'll address your case. Pardon me because this post will be long and detailed.

Firstly, looking at your GCMS note it's pretty straight forward, as i can see you don't have problem with finances here. The Visa officer is not convinced you're applying in good faith i.e they are not satisfied you're a genuine student.

Your NOTE is clearly pointing at the following -
1-) PURPOSE OF VISIT
2-) CURRENT EMPLOYMENT SITUATION & LIMITED EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS IN COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE.
3-) HOME TIE
4-) PERSONAL ASSET AND FINANCIAL ESTABLISHMENT.

PURPOSE OF VISIT
You have failed to convinced the visa officer the benefits of studying in Canada rather than home country, having the high cost of international students. They aren't satisfied you will leave Canada at the end of authorized stay.

- Your SOP should address this please.


LIMITED EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS IN COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE/CURRENT EMPLOYMENT SITUATION
Your employment/job offer did not constitute a significant to Nigeria, meaning the job offer/the employment prospects of your job can't compel your return back to your home country after completion of studies in Canada.
I made it clear on my last post that -

"Every embassy will like to satisfy themselves that the applicant has a gainful employment in their country of residence and that the prospects of getting a job when they loose their current one is high. That satisfies them that you won’t leave your job when you travel to their country. Canada’s High Commission is no exception."



You failed to prove this to the Visa Officer.

HOMETIE
The Visa officer is not also satisfied your family members and your professional ties can compel you to return home.

Did you add your family birth certificates?
Did you give a tangible reason that you're coming back to continue your job with notable prove?
Did your employer state that you will be welcomed to return after studies to take the company to a greater height with your international certifcate and there will be a promotion in office for you to that effect on his introductory /Recommedation letters?

PLEASE NOTE - While doing this you should also put some factors into consideration like the duration of the course you're going to study, how long will it take you to complete it.?
If you will be staying longer, presenting a job offer will weaken your application, because the Visa officer knows very well that no company will keep a seat/space for you for so long. "I believe that's what went wrong here"

PERSONAL ASSET AND FINANCIAL ESTABLISHMENT
- Since you have being working for so long now did you include your salary bank statement?, Because the Visa officer is very much interested in your finances, to know what you have achieved for the past 10years as a banker.

- Do you have any landed property in your name?

Lastly, you need to prove all this listed to the visa officer. Better still, i'll advice you go through the EXPRESS ENTRY as you have high chances of securing a PR with your 10years working experience, then you won't pay high for international tuition fees. You will migrate as permanent residence of Canada(PR) possibly you can invite your family and friends to join you. So I best advise you explore the express entry thread and enjoy the goodies there.

I hope you find the above information helpful regarding your visa refusal.


Warm Regards,
Frank!

@gbemiigbal pls I don't understand how to order for my gcms note

hurricanesgrace:
Hello, I think you can't use a non school reference letter. You can get in touch with few lecturers u have good relationship wit for a ref letter.
Or contact the school you are applying to for confirmation if its OK to use non school ref.
Hope dis help.

Emmyirab:

You don't understand. The deposit won't be refunded, if you decide not to go to the school anymore for no reason. But if you decide not to go to the school anymore because your visa got denied, you'll be asked to send a copy of your denial letter, and your deposit will be fully refunded. It's clearly stated on their website.

mcobex:
I think you have a very good chance going via the EE route cos of the years of working experience you have.

SpeedndAccuracy:

How do i send it to you?

Available...

But if you are going to send, please add ur resume and honest story line...

This will help as it's hard to help out without ur story.

Also, state if you want it longer than what has been written or shorter.
