Good morning, I just got this now, and I remember telling them I was denied visa 2019 and all, while filling the im form, I just check all my files, and everything was answered correctly, even the im form of 5257 doesn’t have a USA denied question, it’s im 1294e, that has that question..please I would appreciate if someone could help me out how I should tackle this, or if someone was been sent a wrong false accuse information.
I remember someone having this problem and how he solved it
Please anybody who could help, I would appreciate it

I just thought of something now, (An ASSUMPTION THOUGH)

- Was it the day you wanted to submit your Study Visa Application, you downloaded your IMM FORMS from the IRCC website or you have downloaded it a long while ago on your system?

- Did you download the form from a random third party website that has the IRCC IMM forms?

- Was the Acrobat Adobe Reader you used to fill your form an UPDATED ONE


Am asking this cos IRCC do state that, an applicant must make sure he/she downloads the updated IMM forms from the IRCC website (cos the IMM form for January 2021 can be quite different from the March 2021 IMM form) & make use of the latest ACROBAT READER to fill the forms

Seems this is another version of PROCEDURAL FAIRNESS LETTER. I actually thought it's an applicant with a SUSPICIOUS/FRAUDULENT BANK STATEMENT that do get this type of letter.

Chai! I don enter ooo cry cry cry

What do you suggest I do please? I have submitted my application already.

Also, the transcript was sent to the organisation I work with and it's the same address(contact) I used for my visa application. I got the soft copy in my mail and the hard copy immediately the secretary received it. That's the same transcript I uploaded as I don't have the student copy (my school don't issue to students).

My fear has gotten a solid ground and the best of me.
Oh really?

never knew you had submitted with the way you asked the question, it should have been better if you had asked before submitting.

Interestingly, It might actually not mean anything eventually, but since you stated the content as TRANSCRIPT on your application, it might be up for some scrutiny by a VO due to the alteration.

Don't panic, do the webform thing as suggested by the HONORABLES, back it up with prayers and be hopeful

All the best in your application ma'am

I applied for a second Bsc and got approved though I would have loved to go for masters or PG cert but I was not given admission. So I tried Bsc and was given admission, applied for Study Visa and application was approved.

How it happened, meself no know....but God did it
Yes, this happens on a rare occasion but I feel it would be inappropriate or wrong to advise or anyone be encouraged to opt for a B.SC in Canada after an HND. Few applicants gets approval, but it doesn't mean it is the most appropriate/ideal approach especially when study progression/career advancement is a rule to go by.


Also, the financial implication of applying for study visa and the process which can most time be overwhelming is another reason one should follow the study progression/career advancement rule and fulfil all righteousness

I have a question please, I removed a lot of files while trying to achieve the needed 4mb capacity. For instance, my transcript is 4 pages in length, but I only uploaded the two middle pages that had the course details taken while I removed the first page(bearing the address and office of the sender, name and recepient of the transcript) and the last page (bearing final cumulative GPA).

Now the question, is this an act of hoarding information? I am asking because i have seen a lot of refusals because of too much info or too little info.
To me this is wrong,
you have altered the transcript and made it invalid. In fact the page(bearing the address and office of the sender, name and recepient of the transcript) and the last page (bearing final cumulative GPA) as rendered it totally invalid and not a Legit Transcript, cos the bolded shows the source of the transcript, signatory etc. A Visa Officer might question your Transcript if he sees such.

A Transcript is a very delicate document, reason why many schools abroad always want the applicant school in their home country to send the transcript themselves directly to the school aboard.

4.09mb is the file upload limit, so try see if you can still do something about the compression of some of the files you intend to submit for your application.

Submitting a Transcript is no too much info. As regards refusal, NO TWO APPLICATION IS THE SAME!!!!. Avoid Comparison of an application to another, what favored Adekunle Might not favor Tochi cos they might have different background and financial capability

This Canada study permit is really stressing we Nigerians.
Someone at the age of 40 can decide to go for bsc or even for diploma courses,its no body's business. One can finish bsc and decides to go for another bsc,honestly I can decides that.
I blame our leaders that created all these problems for we youths.

When I was applying for my diploma degree in one of the colleges in NL, one of the requirements to apply is that I must have gone to a higher institution for not less than 3years which means I can use bsc or HND to apply to get a diploma cert. If there is no career progression, why such requirements. How can someone be denied a study permit after giving admission and paying tuition fee. I believe that Schools should work with Embassy before giving admission.

This personal assets and finance Visa officers are requesting, is it for someone at the age of 25years who want to study that they are asking! Even in their place, how many people under 30 years can boast of landed properties,their citizens go to school with loans.

Upon after providing these requirements, NSE will come up with their own, they will still delay and refuse applicant the opportunity after several months. I really blame our bad government for all these humiliation and stress this Canadian VOs are causing us.

My points though, not writing to impress or go against anyone's views or points. I just decided to pour out my mind.
You have said the undiluted truth

Unfortunately, schools in Canada are after the applicants tuition, & they can't influence decision of IRCC on applicants.

Education has nothing to do with age, but many factors from this part of the world has seriously affected applicants
e.g Industrial Actions by universities etc. which has an effect on the age of an applicant

IRCC don't see some applications of people from this part of the world as genuine cos with the state of this nation, they assume the JAPA mindset has defeated the purpose of Visit of many to Canada (which is to study).

REASONS WHY ONE NEED TO SHOW PROGRESSIONS AND PROVIDE THE RIGHT & LEGIT DOCUMENTS BEFORE APPLYING FOR A STUDY VISA IN CANADA

In a nutshell,

What does it profit an applicant to gain admission to a Canadian school and get denied of a study visa

Good morning everyone, please how do I apply to a school in Canada?
Hi,

Your question is quite Generic

You would need to consider some factors before applying to a school in Canada

- Do you have you have your transcript with you?
- what is the name & qualification of the program you want to apply for in Canada?
- What is your highest Level of Education?
- When did did you graduate (What year) ?
- What is your CGPA?
- Do you av a 2.1, 2.2 or 3rd Class?
- Are you working alrdy ?
- Is your Job related to what you studied in your polytechnic or university?
-  How many years have you been working?

Your response to the above questions will determine the kind of study program you can or should apply to in Canada

Good morning Elders.
Trust you all slept well?.
I just got my offer of admission for undergraduate study from Brandon University to study BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.

Here is my profile:
Finished WAEC 2011

I have HND in marketing(which I didn’t include in my application).

Currently working as a Business Developer with Nigeria Bottling Company from 2019(Contract Staff).

My aunt in the US(a nurse) will be sponsoring me all through.

For home ties I’m married with a child and I have 2plots of land.

I have never traveled outside Nigeria before.

Please what best way can I prepare my SOP regards my huge study gap, and what other documents do I need to present so as to make my application considered.
Thank you.
Good Morning,

These are my opinions

I doubt if you would be able to convince a Visa Officer that your Purpose of Visit to Canada is to study based on your intentions.

Going for a B.SC is a Wrong Career Progression
for you since you already have an HND Degree.

If you hide your HND during your Visa Application, it would raise lots of suspicion to a Visa Officer e.g Age Gap, Study Gap etc.

Age
I don't know your age , but B.SC in Canada is for those within the age range of 17-24.

Your Academic Qualification (if you don't mention your HND Degree) might Clash With your Job Qualification
Your qualification to work as a Business
Developer would be suspicious to a Visa Officer , cos they can assume it is impossible to be in that position with an High School Certificate (WAEC)


Your Best Shot To Increase your Visa Chances is this

With your HND, you are expected to go for a PG.Cert in Marketing Related Degree (based in your HND degree) or PG. Cert in a Business related program (based on your Job at NBC and other marketing/business related Jobs you have done in the past after your HND). There are loads of colleges in Canada offering the above PG. CERT PROGRAMS.

Doing the above, too a reasonable extent, a Visa Officer would be convinced your intentions to come to Canada to Study is GENUINE

Can i get admitted for a master degree program in a Canadian University with a 3.0 GPA in Political science?


If yes, can someone help with schools and link where I can apply?
Admission for a Masters in Canada is very slim with that CGPA , a Minimum of 2.1 is required to apply for a Masters program in a Canadian University

Your best alternative is to go for a PG. Cert in a Political Science related program or a PG. Cert in a program related to your work experience

She used the Regular Route before she got the NSE request and she did the IELTS and also provide the my bank statement and her medical isn’t an upfront one ! She did it after she got a medical request and her school is resuming is May... Thanks boss
ok then

Based on your last post about when she submitted her Application (November 2020), it has passed standard processing time (23 weeks). A Medical Request is most time a good sign on a study visa application, so she should start sending webforms/mails to IRCC and also indicate she gonna be resuming May in the webform/mail, in order to initiate a possible expedition on her application

Refer to that HOW TO SEND WEBFORMS/MAILS TO IRCC WHEN APPLICATION HAS PASSED STANDARD PROCESSING TIME post

As a first time applicant, you are to write a STATEMENT OF PURPOSE (SOP)

SOP - Statement of Purpose
The theme SOP is geared more towards the first time visa applicants. In this case, the applicant will more likely talk about how the advance studies is going to complement past academics and how it will brighten up the future career scope. In addition, various other topics will be addressed such as capability to finance studies & living cost, why particular program, why Canada, why particular institution etc.
