₦airaland Forum

Hello everyone,
I am a very big fan of Nairaland and it feels so good to finally join. Big Ups to those who help/contribute in anyway to the success of any kind of visa.
My case; I have once applied for a visitor visa to Canada in October 2018 and was refused. My questions are as follows;

1. Is it okay to switch to a study permit visa? will this raise a red flag?
2. I am single, 33yrs of age and have a 10yrs gap from the last educational certificate acquired
3. Is it okay for me to sponsor myself?
4. I have a GP of 2.99, for sure it won't get me a masters but hopefully will get me a PG Diploma with the years of experience i have. This bring me to the question - will my GP possibly affect the officer's decision because i heard your transcript is part of the documents to be submitted.
5. What are the documents required from an applicant who wants to sponsor herself.

I know no one here is a visa officer, I only want to know if I even have chances at all.

Please the GURU in the house, i will need your input on my case.
Thank you in advance.
