Please I need you guys to help me contribute
I’m applying for my third application
How do I address my 2nd refusal gcms note in my LETTER OF EXPLAINATION. Here’s the GCMS


The applicant is seeking to study in the College Diploma Program at Conestoga college in Canada.

I am not Satisfied that the applicant would leave Canada at the end of their stay as a temporary resident,I note that : The client is Single,Mobile, is not well established and has no dependents.

Taking the applicant’s plan of studies into account , the documentation provided in support of the applicant’s financial situation does not demonstrate that funds would be sufficient or available. I am not satisfied that the proposed studies would be a reasonable expense.

Weighing the factors in the application.I am not satisfied that the applicant will adhere to the term and conditions imposed as a temporary resident.

For the reasons above, I have refused the application.



‘I NOTICED THE OFFICER SAID I’M SINGLE’- When I applied I was 17 years old I don’t understand why they’re saying I’m single am I meant to be married?
I’m 18 now tho
Please what is the meaning of mobile and has no dependents .
Please help me contribute!!!
While you await response from the gurus, owing to your age, a Bachelor's degree will be more convincing to a Visa Officer than a diploma

Hi, Mr lekiboboe and other guru’s, thanks for your guardians. Mr lekiboboe, I hope you still remember your advise to a man in aug 2020 that had a 3rd class in his undergraduate but now runs his own personal business, I have a similar case, I graduated with a 3rd class in microbiology 2017, 2.34cgpa and have been working as a medical sales representative in a pharmaceutical company since 2018 immediately after NYSC. I intend applying for msc so I followed your guide and applied for IBM at lambton college. Now my question is, am so sorry Incase it has been answered before but have checked the trend but couldn’t place it, please am asked to pay 150CAD before I can continue with the application , am I on the right path?, do you have a better piece of advise for me. Am open to suggestions from everyone, thank you.
Is the 150CAD not the application fee for the admission?

Hello
Thanks to everyone keeping this platform
Alive .
I am new here and I would like to apply for study permit ,I got admission into fanshawe college ,and the course relates more to my work experience.
I graduated in 2007 with a 2-1 and I have been working since them.My questions are as follows
Can I do a post graduate certificate instead of a masters how do I defend this ,my reason is simply I can’t stress for a 2 year program when I can complete in a year,my years of experience would count for something if I need to get a job.(13 years)
Can I apply with my kids ,I have 4 kids 3 are citizens and I am contemplating whether to go with the youngest who is barely 2 years
I have an issue with my pof,I have it in an investment account and I hear Canada doesn’t accept investment accounts
Can I liquidate into my savings account and explain in my sop or should I just send the investment certificate.
My hubby is sponsoring but he prefers to pay the money into my account ,this would come in as a lump sum should I get a gift deed letter or just explain that he contributed towards my tuition.
Finally, has anyone applied with a us citizen for study permit and got refused(asking because I am contemplating going with all 3 and leaving only one behind )
Thank you
You can't do a Masters owing to your STUDY gap (grad. 2007), a PG.Cert program at a college related to your work experience is your best shot cos it shows CAREER PROGRESSION.

Hello team. Thank you for the work you all do. A colleague's son was turned back at the airport today as he was about to board a flight via KLM to Canada. After going through the first check, he was stopped at the last check before boarding the plane. My colleague is really worried and had to reschedule the trip. Also sent a mail to IRCC. The officer at the last check said she saw something and advised that they contacted the embassy and that the embassy should have notified them. But then they checked the portal and didn't see any notice or issue. They are very concerned and worried. Has anyone else faced such and how was It resolved? My colleague would appreciate suggestions or advise. Thank you all
So sorry about this development, hope it wasn't because of non-availability of LETTER OF ENROLLMENT your colleague's son was turned back?

The bolded docs are no more compulsory, especially IELTS.. Many applicants still submit MBS cos of its flexibility compared to printed SOA, But its not compulsory as some applicants still submit the printed SOA cos not all banks provide the MBS service.. So if you submit a printed SOA its still very much allowed...

No, I don't have a job.

I have 6 months working experience at ptad (file manager)

Please these are the answers, what school can I apply in? Course?

@lekiboboe
You have a 2.1 and 3 years Education gap. You can go for a Masters in Accounting, see the link below for Universities offering it.

https://www.nairaland.com/6719291/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/413#106949810

You can also go for a
Post Graduate Certificate in Accounting but you must state with cogent reasons om your SOP (STATEMENT OF PURPOSE) why you are going for a PG.Cert instead of a Masters. Await a response to that from the gurus and other members of this platform

- what did you study in the university/Polytechnic ?

- What year did you graduate ? (to address study gap)

- 2.1 or 2.2 or 3rd Class (University) or Higher or Lower Credit (Polytechnic)?

- Do you have a job? If yes, what is the name of your Job, and what are your Job duties? (to know if your Job is related to your Degree)

- How many years work experience do you have in that Job?

BSc Chemistry,more than 10 years experience in banking and insurance sector.

1 year Graduate certificate in International business management or 2 yr Diploma in International business management., which is better

Opinions please!!
Go for a 2 years Graduate Certificate program in a Business Management. It aligns/relates with your 10 years Work Experience and you will get 2-3 years Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) after graduation.

See the link below for 2 years Graduate Certificate programs and the colleges offering them

https://www.nairaland.com/6321900/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/269#99133605

1 year would only give you 1 year PGWP.

Study Visa Application wise, an ordinary diploma for your kind of profile shows no Academic/Logical Progression

Please Guys,

Is Ontario graduate certificate the same as having a master degree.

i can also see Ontario diploma and Ontario certificate but i am not sure what they really mean.

Can someone help me out with an explanation please
No it is not the same, but a degree holder can go for both and it also depends on your profile e.g Grades, work experience, education gap etc.

2.2, HND holders, graduates whose work experience is not related to their degree are those who mostly go for ONTARIO Graduate Certificate

Hello House and Happy New Year to everyone.

I am new here and I want to say a big thank you to all for these very informative and supportive threads.

Please I have some queries I need your expertise on:
I am thinking of applying for a Diploma course in Engineering in one of these schools, however, my major concern is how to apply for the visa and the associated cost. I studied mechanical engineering.

1. I am a family man and we are both working. How can I apply such that my wife and daughter will go with me considering home-ties?
2. We have roughly say 20m altogether and my tuition alone for the 2 years is about 8m, without living expenses. Is this sufficient?
3. If I want to go alone first and apply for them later? Is 8m sufficient to get me by until I get a job while schooling?
4. The DOB on my previous passport/visa which was wrong has been corrected in my new passport, how will this play out when they check travel history?
5. Which school is the cheapest when it comes to all these engineering diploma courses?

Also, I have a masters degree, obtained in 2013, and have been working ever since.

Please advise me on how to proceed. I am hoping I could prep for Fall 2022.

Thank you, experts!

As regards the MASTERS ADMISSION

There is possibility the Agric econ Masters program at
U of Alberta won't fly for a Visa Application, cos of his 6 years study gap. Even if he gets the admission, a Visa Officer would likely assume that his knowledge about Agric economics would have been obsolete by now and this might be termed as wrong purpose of visit to Canada (Japa).
