Hi bro. Please how long did it take you to get your GCMS notes and what website did you use?

feistymikey:
Lol this was the exact refusal reason I got in my first application. But glory be to God, my second application got approved.

For a one year course, your living expense is 10,000CAD, that’s like 3million plus and you have only 1million in your personal savings account. These visa officers know that you can’t have access to a fixed deposit account for a period of time so that’s basically having nothing to them.

I used my sponsor’s fixed account of 10million and his savings account that had like less than 5million for a three year course. Lol I was naive.

What I did differently in the next application was that, my sponsor liquidated his fixed account and transferred the money into his savings account. He also transferred my remaining tuition and living expenses to my account. Then I submitted with a deed of gift

So since you’re self sponsored, I advice you to use money that you can have access to, not just a fixed deposit account. Liquidate your fixed account if possible, and put about 12,000CAD in your account.
Use a letter of explanation explaining what you did differently this time,
Also, support your application with all your business and employment documents, payslips, letter from employer, CAC documents etc

You can also wait for more solutions from other members.

God will perfect your next application in Jesus name

Omiinii:
Where you refused based on finance? What was the generic reason(s).

buckyfof:
What was the reason you were denied?

Order your gcms notes so you will be able to tackle the issue because that is where you will find the visa officers main comcern.

And refire again, you are almost there bro.

I have a bsc in geography and environmental mgt... and currently doing an advanced diploma in fashion business mgt...
The key is a strong SOP... I had been running my own fashion business for years, so I made the VO understand I needed business training in the field of fashion to help the lapses I was experiencing in my business... So, the key is in your SOP... Let it be REALY CONVINCING

Faithyyyyy:
Thank you

I graduated with a 3rd class. It may be hard to find a graduate program for me considering my CGPA. I can access more funding before my application. I will try to Contact the school to see if I can find a suitable graduate program.

But I may just have to depend on a convincing sop for my application.


Dear Gilb,

You would need to put together an air tight application justifying why you are going for a 3 years diploma instead of a pgd, if it was possible for you to contact the school and change course that would be a great option. Ultimately if you can prove enough finances and have a convincing sop then you are good to go. Ultimately the choice is yours .
But you will need to work really hard on your application. A graduate with 2.2 going for 3 years diploma.

Faithyyyyy:
Thank you for your input

My issue is I have already made commitment of paying the tuition deposit.

1- How can I convince the visa officer that an advanced diploma is good career progression.

2 - Can I write an LoE to demonstrate this

3 - The program has a Co-op options so I would be gaining experience while I study

4 - I have staff to keep the business going while I’m away studying

My main problem is how to convince a visa officer the advanced diploma is a good idea instead of my PGD as I am changing career.

Please you input ore any other user input would be appreciated thank you

Dear Gilb,

Below are my comments from experience.
1. Program and level of study.
It would have been wiser to do a post graduate diploma in IT seeing that you already have a bachelors degree in another field. Your additional qualifications and certifications in IT can help buttress your need for a PGD preferably one with a co-op. You can arguably present a solid case with your source of employment and company documents.
Proof of funds .
I should guess your one year tuition is about $16,000 and you have paid one semester tuition.
This means your whole program amounts to $48,000 for 3 years, living expenses for 1st year $10,000.
from the information provided you have about 10m for the process in your account after deposit of $8300.
10m black market rate is about $22,000 canadian only . This will show you have only $30,000 for the proposed study of three years whilst first year tuition and living expenses alone is $26,000 plus.
You do not want to put yourself in a dicey situation as it would seem your company would go bankrupt if you use all the money for your studies and if you are able to pay for one year, with your business closed while you are away, how do you propose to continue the two years without working in Canada or becoming a destitute student ?

these are just a few points to consider before proceeding with the application. you may need to reevaluate properly . A PGD is wiser and less expensive and your finances may be able to cover that.
For travel history and home ties, you would have to work on that convincingly seeing that you will be folding up your business and using its funds to study unless you have a staff strength with proof who can run it in your absence.

Regards

I am not a guru
I will say no two applications are the same, but you have to write a convincing SOP highlighting reasons with pictorial evidence why you will be going for an advanced diploma instead of m.sc in micro biology.

Secondly, transfer some money to your personal account because Visa officers what to see an unencumbered funds. For the GIC pay something slightly higher than the required funds, lets say $12k.

Lastly, your age or marital status does not matter, what matters is your ability to genuinely convince the V.O. So take time to craft a detailed SOP. Good luck

Just submit your bsc certificate and transcript if you have it. Your waec don't matter if you're not going for an undergraduate program.
