To make it clear
I graduated in 2018 BSC
worked since 2014 in the same course at the highest stage. Laboratory Chemist.
Now I'm studying for a high school diploma not a post graduate diploma
I'm over qualified for a masters due to result and experience.
Read one of my GCMS notes again and you will understand that myself and this person has all in common
The VO saw no reason for me to be in this program because I have the result and experience
Now I am here for same program
This is my own experience.
There are experiences worse than this here, where people switch career completely

Well I only made a point its not important anyone takes it and I will only contribute to questions I have real-time experience with.
I won't engage in further explanation on this.

The SOP you posted in May last year, is that the one that got your approval please?

charlesoz19:
Not totally correct. The presentation on his SOP will determine if the VO agrees or not. I have a BSC and worked for 7 years and here I am in a diploma programme

Are you in a post-graduate or post-secondary diploma?

Bobomaigida:


Her old LOA will not be valid anymore so she cannot send a reconsideration, she needs to apply again based on the new programme, and also draw a strong SOP to explain why she needs that course despite her present career, qualifications etc.

Thanks for your comment. I do appreciate it

Predator188:

Writing a Reconsideration letter and include a jurisdiction why she needs the program will contradicts "inconsistent" to what is already submitted in the application, so that won't work even program is invalid...

From GCMS : the applicant demonstrates through their submitted documentation that they possess an acceptable combination of education, training and experience in their respective field

With Bsc and work experience application for a diploma program or previous will be refused next Visa officer will refer to previous refusal..
The applicant needs to apply for Msc..

Thank you for your comment boss man. I appreciate

charlesoz19:
You wrote a bad SOP that's all I see here. You have to convince the VO why you feel you will study for a degree lower than your current one. Work on the SOP and you are good.

I want to agree with you that the SOP is bad. What's your comment on technicalities involve with her admission now please? The school approved her request to defer but they informed her that the certificate program (one year) has been discontinued and they only offer it in diploma now (2 years). She accepted the offer and waited for her visa decision which was eventually not approved.
Do you think it's best we write a reconsideration letter and include a justification for why she needed the program or she should submit another visa application with the diploma offer?
Thank you

Good evening people. Please I need advice on how best to approach this situation. Attached is the note for my friend.
She has deferred her admission in December from January when there was no response on her visa decision. The school approved her request to defer but they informed her that the certificate program (one year) has been discontinued and they only offer it in diploma now (2 years). She accepted the offer and waited for her visa decision which was eventually not approved.
With this GCMS note, I want to ask if it's best we write a reconsideration letter and include a justification for why she needed the program or she should submit another visa application with the diploma offer or possibly apply to seek MSc admission in another school. I would appreciate your opinion on this matter, please.

Khodry:
Please house anybody with information about UF. My wife was given Msc admission with partial scholarship of $1500 dollars per semester for 3semester for fall 2024. Can we go together and our kid and if possible how is the expenses? From what I see in the site tuition is about $13000 and other expenses accrue to about $30000 are we to pay all or some will be in block account? and the Visa processing how is it?
Please it is urgent

Unrelated but I did appreciate expert opinions on this please.
What can influence the decision for someone to apply for visa with his/her family (partner and kid)? Is it when you have funding? Enough personal/family fund? What will be the home tie in this situation please?

Sisib15:
Lol.Visa mock People will just be giving nonsense advice up and down. If you admission comes with funding please stick with it

Alright, thanks boss

missidy:
False. You can get admission to a course that is in line with your work experience. It doesn't affect your visa. Abeg ignore that person.

Yeah I got admission with it last year. I’m worried about the VO and all. Thanks for your comment.

Taal17:


Biko who are you doing interviews with?

Think about it yourself ... doesn't the admission you are seeking relate to your current work? It does
So why are you confused?

You haven't even gotten admission yet but you did mock interview. Why

Face getting admission and funding first .That's what's important.

To others that are applying...I notice a lot of people what to ' know the result of their exam FIRST before they even sit for lectures'

Thanks bro.
The course sure relate to my current work/experience. I’m currently a Senior Assistant Registrar (level 12) at a public tertiary institution
I’m just attending the mock interview to gain a little experience.

Hello people,
Please, I need help. I'm pretty confused right now. I attended a mock interview and the information I got is not encouraging at all.
So, I have my first degree in Business Administration and I have been working as a non-academic staff in a high institution for about seven years now.
I applied for Msc Higher Education Administration in about three schools, Student Affairs Administration in one school and Postsecondary school administration and student affairs in another school. I'm optimistic that I will get at least admission with partial funding in one these schools.
The issue is here is that, I was informed by the guys who anchored the mock interview that I should not go to the embassy with an admission that is not related to my first degree. He added that the course I applied for is not even useful in my home country.He advised that I should apply for MBA or something close my first degree. I really don't know what to do at this point please

JMG12:
This could mean that you did not make it apparent in your information that you intended to temporarily study in Canada.
Some ways to improve your reapplication:
1. Examine your application again: Examine the details you submitted in your original application with great care. Verify that every detail is true and in line with the objectives of the temporary research permission.
2. A legitimate letter of admission from a Canadian Designated Learning Institution (DLI) should be included. This should include a clear description of your study course's curriculum, duration, and start and finish dates.
3. Proof of financial support: Demonstrate that you have the money necessary to pay for your living expenses, tuition, and any other charges you may incur while visiting Canada.
4. Home ties: Showing that you have close links to your home country can help your application stand out. Proof of family, property, or work may be included in this. This might support your claim to the immigration officer that you plan to finish your education and then return home.

Okay boss. Thank. I will share this with her

Frankrobbn1:


I understand that you're seeking an explanation for the reason your study permit application was refused. The refusal letter stated that "The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay based on the details you provided in your application".

To address this concern in your reapplication, it's important to clearly demonstrate that your intention is to study in Canada temporarily and that you have a solid plan for your studies. You can do this by providing additional supporting documents such as an acceptance letter from the educational institution, a detailed study plan, and any relevant information about your future career goals.

It's also crucial to ensure that all the information you provide in your application is accurate, consistent, and aligns with the purpose of a temporary stay. If there were any discrepancies or missing information in your previous application, make sure to address those in your new application and provide a clear explanation in your Letter of Explanation (LOE).

More importantly, showcasing your previous education or current work experience in your application is crucial to solidify your purpose of visit, especially when applying for a study permit. By demonstrating how your course of study aligns with your educational background or professional experience, you can provide a strong rationale for your temporary stay in Canada.

When preparing your application, make sure to highlight the relevance of your previous education or work experience to the program you wish to pursue in Canada. Show how your past academic or professional achievements have equipped you with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in your chosen field of study.

Attaching supporting documents such as academic transcripts, diplomas, or employment certificates can further enhance your application. These documents serve as tangible evidence of your qualifications and demonstrate your commitment to furthering your education in Canada.

I hope this helps, Best of luck with your study permit reapplication! 🍀✨.


It will end in praise

Thank you for your response, boss. I apologize for the delayed in acknowledging your comment. I have not been online recently.

The application was on behalf of a friend, not for myself. Despite not having seen her SOP, she submitted all other required documents. These include a study leave with pay, curriculum vitae (CV), and letters of introduction and recommendation. She, being an HR officer, secured admission for a Human Resources course in Canada so I don’t understand what the VO is saying. She is waiting for Notes sha

PPR ALERT!!

My PPR came in today at 7am.

I am a first time applicant and I have had  a USA B1 visa refusal before.

BACKGROUND
My initial target was to go to the UK to school because everyone I spoke to said Canada was hard to get into. Last year I applied to about 5 schools, 2 in UK and 3 in Canada.

Fanshawe responded really quickly, I almost didn't take it as I wanted George Brown, they had a course a bit closer to what I currently do, but one mind was like, just take what you see first, so I accepted their offer and I paid 9k CAD using my GTBank USD card.  2-3 months later, none of the other schools I applied to accepted me, George brown I really wanted, said my study gap was more than 5 years as the last time I was in school was in 2011.

I then came on nairaland and I read as much as I could from here, I even asked questions and I got responses. In my case, I have a fulltime job and 2 different side gigs, that pay me monthly so I needed to know if this would not affect me as I am self-funded.

THE APPLICATION

I did not need to write IELTS or verify my documents via WES.
My application to Fanshawe was done via www.applyboard.com.
I wrote my SOP myself, ensuring that I use headlines to break it so that it doesn't become a long read. One key thing I did here was explain how as an accounting graduate, I pivoted into Marketing. I treated my SOP as a story, ensuring that I hit the high notes really quickly without boring or oversharing irrelevant information. The headlines and a brief synopsis for what each section contains can be found below:

YOUR NAME
The Visa Officer,
Deputy High Commission of Canada,
Lagos Nigeria.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

- Introduction: In this section, I gave my name, a bit of my educational background and the course I want to go and study in Canada. I ended this section with saying how this course will improve my career

ABOUT ME
In this section, I gave some info about my family, If you are married, state that, have kids, state it here

ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
in this section, I gave more information about my education, I only have a BSC in accounting, so to set the ball rolling for why I want to take a different path in my studies, I stated why I am making the switch to a different course of study.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
in this section, I talked about my work experience, showing a clear progression of my career from after university to date.

REASONS FOR PURSUING (INSERT YOUR COURSE NAME HERE) COURSE IN CANADA
here I talked about why pursuing this course in Canada was important to me, in my case it was very important to get an additional degree in the field I currently work in, if I wanted to advance in my career.

WHY FANSHAWE COLLEGE IN CANADA?
ExIplain why you chose this school and not any other. It would be great to look through your school's website and find out what makes them standout and add it in this section.

SPONSORSHIP OF MY CANADA STUDY TRIP
Explain who is sponsoring the trip, if you are self sponsored like me, state how much you earn monthly, if you paid any part of your fees, state it here, state how much you have kept aside for upkeep. If you are sponsored by someone, tell the story about why this person will pay your fees, show a clear relationship and also state their monthly revenue or salary.

MY FUTURE PLAN
here I talked about what I will do with the Canadian degree when I return to Nigeria

Overall, Make sure you stick to the point, tell a clear story about your life. The general rule of thumb for font size/type on SOP is times new roman, size 12 with a line spacing of 1.5 (I don't know if this is important, but it does make your writeup look neater.

THE SUBMISSION
I submitted my application on March 30, these are documents I submitted
I used the GCKey portal to submit.
- All the IMM forms
- Letter of acceptance
- Passport
- Digital photo
- Medical e-sheet
- Proof of funds (MBS for my USD account as well as MBS for my Naira account, Payment receipt from Flywire to fanshawe)
- Client Information (see all the documents below)
- SOP
- Invoices I sent to clients for my side gig
- My Payoneer account print out (if you are a freelancer, you will know what this is)
- A picture of my car
- My car ownership papers
- My old scheghen visa
-My full time job contract showing clearly that I am still going to be working for them, I am not on leave. This was my home tie. I did not need a study leave letter because of this.
- Shares certificate I received from this fulltime job.

THE WAIT
This is the timeline after submission
- Upfront medical IOM - March 20
- Apllication was submitted - March 30
- Confirmation of application - March 31
- Biometrics letter - March 31
Biometrics done - April 5
Then silence...
I scheduled emails via my gmail to send to the IRCC emails, Newyork, beijing, nairobi at least once a day. I just scheduled the email for 10 days in like 1 hour and I just left it, same email no changes and my subject line was URGENT - STUDY PERMIT.
May 30 - Medical passed
June 8 - Correspondence letter (BVL)
Then silence again, it was unusual as BVL comes a few hours before PPR but mine didn't, so I started researching again. Then angie88 told me to create an account via https://ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login to check if I would see my visa document number. On June 9, I checked and my visa and study permit numbers were there under the Document status. I sent a couple of emails but I got a generic response.

THE FINAL APPROVAL.
During the weekend, I had scheduled like 42 emails to go out to all IRCC offices starting from 10am today, but at 7am, I got the PPR. I had to stop all the scheduled emails immediately
June 19 - PPR

TIMELINE
- Upfront medical IOM - March 20
- Application was submitted - March 30
- Confirmation of application - March 31
- Biometrics letter - March 31
- Biometrics done - April 5 (Updated on GCkey same day)
- May 30 - Medical passed
- June 8 - Correspondence letter (BVL)
- June 19 - PPR

Congrats Champ

Accessed:


Why would you do that? what if you move to another job or get terminated (God Forbid), how will you then be able to maintain correspondence with IRCC. A Reference letter from the ministry is enough to identify you as a staff there. They can confirm it if they have their doubts.

Thank you for your beautiful insight. I never thought about this. Thank you

Good morning people.
I am working in a government institution and I have an official email address. I want to know if applying for study permit with my official email give any credence to my application or I should just stick to my personal email. Thank you.

yankison:
Thanks to God I found this again

Now my question is I have a bsc in public administration , worked at a bank for a year too ,please I want to know if the embassy won't look down on my career part going for a diploma after having bsc here in Nigeria . and also do these study intent align ?
Thanks

Boss, I wanna get in touch please

Omotoyosi908:
in which month did u apply, i also applied in may and am yet to get a response from them

I applied mid April. I have never seen a school with that kind of way. Send a million email, they won't respond to one

How long does Memorial University admission decisions please? I applied for their Winter 2024 intake.

emmflexcsc400:

Yes

Yes what please?

Hello everyone, who has gotten an offer letter from college of the North Atlantic (CNA) for Fall 2023? I applied some couple of months ago and they just went blank on me.
I have also applied to memorial university for Winter 2024, is there anyone who applied there?

ShowYoung:


Option 1.
You can submit both the new account and the account that has an history. They must be backed by the letter they promised to give you concerning the dividend payment

Option 2.
You can transfer the funds from the new account to the account with history. You must be able to link the two accounts with the letter they promised to give you about dividend payment.

Note that your SOP must be sound in explaining the relationship and reasons for using dividends to finance your education.

Thanks boss man

ShowYoung:


It is right. All you need to do is provide explanations with evidence. Someone could have invested so as to further in his/her education. The important thing is for the funds to be readily accessible and unencumbered

Thank you for your response...........It does not matter that the account is new? I understand you are to submit 3-6 months accounts or something?

Hello Good people.
I have a dividends that i want to get from an investment company and i intend to use it for my POF. However, I am not using the vendor bank asking me to provide to get my dividends. I told them them i am not using that bank and i dont want to open a new bank account to use for my POF even though they said they are going to give me a letter explaining the lump sum in my new account. Dunno if this is right please
