I applied for SOWP since October last year and VV for my kids, subsequently, I applied for VV for my kids and I in dec but was denied while the kids VV was withdrawn from the SOWP application due to double VV application for them, I now applied for study visa for them using my SOWP GCKEY but they were denied again while the requested for updated documents for my SOWP IN June. We applied again in april and I got approved alone since last month while my kids application is still pending. I have mailed and sent webforms countless times to ask for their own visas please what do I do? My wife just gave birth and I have to be in Canada next month.

LONG POST ALERT

PPR REQUEST
First application
Applied 2019 October and was denied Dec 2019 for purpose of visit and family ties. Reasons given in GCMS was; VAGUE SOP, had an MSC and applied for PGD. I used my kids and husband as family ties yet was denied. There was a rain of rejection that set. Covid came so I took a break 2020.

Second application
April 2nd 2021
Medical upfront march 26th 2021
Biometrics 2019
Ordered 1st GCMS July eligibility blank
Ordered 2nd GCMS August 4th hasn't arrived.
Sent webforms to update bank statement because I ddnt give MBS and new passport In July.
PPR 1st September
Eligibility ddnt start till I saw ppr request ,background as well is still under review.

Documents submitted
IMM forms
Tuition receipt for a semester is MBA 2yrs
SOP 6pages
LOE 4pages
CAC documents for hubby
Personal bank statements first bank no MBS
Certificates
Admission letter
IELTS Academic and General
Self-sponsored

What I did differently!
I want to encourage people with visa denied, this post is for you it will surely come no matter the amount of trials as long as you don't give up.I felt very one from 2019 to date, never missed a post. You guys are a faceless family.
I rugged this Canadian dream with 2PNP's not successful, awaiting another, expired IELTS twice.

I explained in details purpose for MBA and future prospects back home. I expressed sadness for the reason of family ties even though it could mean more(Assets) but I used my kids and hubby. I added lovely christmas family pictures, me on my farm feeding animals. Pictures and receipt of machines in the farm. I opted for self sponsored so I had to do extra with just pictures as proof. Every application is unique do what works for you. Nigerians are not trusted easily so I hard no choice, heard the way other countries apply honestly we do extra to proof a point. They don't stress yet get approved in weeks. I choose self sponsored so they will concentrate on only my account. Hubby transferred 1st semester tuition and I made an excel breakdown of how I get payed, not a salary earner so my monthly pay is not regular and I explained. Paid myself so the account keeps running.

Started online and sent enrollment letter and vaccination card, bank statements updated. New passport with validity of 1+ year not ready to queue in Ottawa, abeg thing are still easier here. If webform and mail was a person, I will be sanctioned.

They school asked me not to register for second semester because they cant refund 2terms just 6hours to PPR. I made up my mind to continue.

Chocs, Justmellow ,Frankrobben1,@lekiboboe all contributed to my submission but you all contributed most to the knowledge . I am glad I started in the month so there was no way I wont testify here. Excuse my typos I don't have English certificate .

So sorry about this. We were all rooting for you therefore you can't give up. Just process your thoughts and fire back. I guess they're rejecting applications on purpose.
EmeeNaka:
My application is Refused. Based on Family tie in Canada and home country, Purpose of Visit blah blah blah.
I doubt I will Reapply. I don't know if I will like to go through this kind of waiting again, I will still give it a thought anyway.
I don't know why but I feel relieved.
Thank you all for your prayers and support.
I wish Everyone, best of lucks.

I was told the same thing in their office. Stay outside and speak to someone. I later renewed my passport which had dec 2022 validity. I claimed my passport is lost so I applied for renewal. The guy I met helped do everything including getting police report. The officer who refused initially found out and refused to cancel the old one. I just left the passport with him and the rest is history. All my sorting no reach 5k.

Please I need clarification on how to add a sheet for family information. I have 4siblings but the form takes three siblings. Will I download an additional form or a plain sheet? Then will I merge both with pdf combine? If 'yes' that means the form won't be electronically signed?

You have a Masters Alrdy, so A PH.D in a related field should be what you should go for based on Academic/Career/Logical Progression Reasons

If i get u correctly ,you sound like you are looking for a PG. Program , right?

Phatkayconcept:


Considering that your proposed course is being offered in limited schools, that means there will be very limited professors available and more fewer willing to take students.
Now what should you do? If you want it so badly, you need to do something really unique. You gotta stand out in result, research, packaging, and of course, in GRACE!

Firstly do you meet the minimum requirements of these schools?
Do you have a direct interest in the research scope of some of the professors?

Assuming you met the above, now begin to do things differently. Connect with the potential profs on research network, such as Google scholars, researchgate and others. Build connection by commenting and appraising their publications. I recommend you read, critique, and give a future-oriented summary of their publications. And finally, express your interest in working on similar areas.

You may just be lucky!


Thanks a lot

Hi
I followed these steps from the previous thread and they were really helpful but I haven't been successful either. I'm applying for either a masters or PhD in construction related fields but the schools are limited. Concordia and University of Alberta are the likely institutions but I haven't gotten response. Instead it's the colleges that have such courses. Please what do you advise. I was denied that year for applying for a PGDc having a masters in construction management already. Please guys any suggestions.

Hi Yang, your question caught my attention and I would like to contribute and motivate you.

You see, getting a supervisor is a very demanding hustle. But in the end, it is always worth it. I was in your shoes of searching for a supervisor, to be honest, I spent more than 6months sending proposals, write up, and all, but no, it didn't work out.

But you know why it didn't work out? Because I haven't find a school that was meant for me. And when I found what is mine, the process was very simple and easy. I exchanged a conversation with the Prof and I sealed his interest the same day. I thought I was dreaming!

My advice for you is simple, keep trying, keep keeping up, be hopeful and trust the process.

Take note of this very vital stuffs when reaching out to your potential supervisor.
No generic emails
Read their interest, read their publications, get some information about their current projects and what their current students are working on.
Look for a supervisor that is currently searching for students, you will find this information on their personal webpage
Try to have customize your first message, very important.
Attach your RESUME and transcript. If you have a very strong background in a course that is related to the supervisors area of interest, mention it, boost about it.
Most importantly, find a supervisor whose interest fits well with yours.
If you have any publications, talk about it, and make sure you have an online directory for your papers..

Good luck.
