holllowu:
2nd application, 2nd bvl without medical.......... Issowkay now

At this point I think it's best to request for my tuition refund

Phatkings:
Hey people my friend was refused based on the following reasons
Employment condition.... They're mad. I attached my employment letter and promotion letter

Ties in Canada and home country... They're sick. I uploaded properties worth 130k Canadian dollars in my name

Purpose of visit... What else was I going to do there apart from study. Why would I pay tuition if I don't want to study

Frankrobbn1:
Amen! Thanks very much;

Good day all. I have chosen to apply to humber college and centennial college for a Graduate Certificate program in Global business management.

Please which option should i choose when filing this part of the form?

JustMellow:
Hello holllowu,

There won't be a need to resend, but however, you can as well send an email to Nairobi to enquire if the documents has been received. Thus, you can also decide to re-attach the supporting documents.

Medical Request:16th Oct.
Medicals Done : 24th Oct.(IOM Lag)
Medicals Passed: 30th Oct.
BVL: 7th Nov.
Passport Request: 7th Nov.

First time applicant.

My passport was to expire 3 months into the winter term and of course, my Visa's validity if granted wouldn't be longer than March, so I had to wait for it to drop into the 6th month, then I applied for passport renewal and my previous passport was cancelled without prejudice although my Visa pages, entry and exits weren't stamped/cancelled ( just the old biodata and blank pages) My new passport also contains the number of the old one though. I also got my police clearance certificate in September.

Took me not less than a week to write a one and a half pages of SOP. I kept editing and restructuring, adding and subtracting. My strategy was to weigh the pros n cons of each point I try to make. Any information that I weigh n perceive could be misinterpreted, I threw more light. For instance, my kids are part of my ties. The least is 2 years old. I felt the VO would wonder why a sane mother would want to leave her young child. At the same time, i felt the VO would also wonder how i would travel with a toddler given the intensity of my professional masters degree. I had to choose one side of the argument and gave solid reasons which sent a pointer to my determination to study and graduate with good grades while outlining adequate steps I've put in place for the welfare of the kids I'm leaving behind.

I also mentioned what I intend to do upon return and showed evidence of some tangible things I'd leave behind as a major fallback when I return. Each day I read my SOP, it made deeper meaning. I understood it differently and kept manipulating it until I was convinced that I had done noble. Worthy to mention is that I showed a career progression from my previous study and current work experience, to the intended program. Meanwhile, I attached an LOE to explain my previous US tourist Visa rejection, reason for not writing IELTS + correspondence from school confirming that IELTS would be waived if my undergraduate school sends them a proof that I was taught in English, other source of income, family composition(group photograph of the kids with my teenage ward).

DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED (For ease of reference):

Travel history(US)
Self-sponsorship
Employed with a meagre salary
Printed n submitted the tuition n cost of living page as seen on the school's website.
Statement of account(4 months)
Fixed deposit(rolled over monthly)
Reference letter from bank
Transcripts
Proof of English Proficiency from undergrad school
Letter from employer(recent)
TCC
Pay stubs (3months)
Survey plans of properties in my name
Birth certificates of kids
Hubby n dad's biodata page.
Picture of just the kids together with a minor ward.
Confirmation letter from UBC on deposit payment
Conditional letter of acceptance
SOP
LOE
Tuition Fee is to be paid in 3 instalments

I think less is actually more. SOP was straight to the point so as not to bore the VO or divulge unnecessary information that could be used against me. For each information I gave, I asked myself if it was necessary and directly related to my application. Then I moved to weighing the implication of every possible answer. I actually set up a law court in my head.

For me, preparing and sending in my application was like preparing for a life changing exam. I almost gave up cos it was too much for just an application, but for the deposit I already made...I needed at least a rejection to get it back. Also, remembering the high blood pressure UBC gave me before admission was granted; the series of interviews on Skype, the long essay I was asked to write and submit...Honestly, it's a privilege to have scaled through all these. Believe me when I say that those interviews aren't healthy at all. Note that I was asked to consent to being recorded during the interview. When I thought I had seen it all, weeks later I was scheduled for yet another interview, then, the essay.

Now that my Visa application has been approved and passport requested, my emotion is beginning to fail me. Can I really do this? Am I willing to leave my kids behind? Can I cope with the exorbitant rent in Vancouver? How long can I hang in without my family? From my timetable, I will be having just a 2-week break in April. I really need help, fam.

Na play play I take apply give UBC cos application na free for Nigerians. Sent them only photocopies of my credentials and had nothing to lose until admission was granted after which I paid a compulsory deposit to secure my place in the program.

PS: I have an active EE profile and didn't delete for the purpose of this application. If I perish, I perish! Lol

Meanwhile much respect to frankrobbin, justmellow and all those who take time to respond to questions on this platform. E no easy, I swear. See as hand dey pain me!

I'm sorry if you've read this before. I just copied, pasted and edited. I can't kill myself. Lol

Much luv, fam

Thanks boss. My school of interest happens to be Algonquin and I plan to apply for a 2years Diploma course in Computer Systems Technician. Am in need of a little guidance on how this school application works. Also if I can use my B.sc certificate to apply or it has to be my O'level plus if IELTS is a criteria. Thanks
