Having critically examined the GCMS notes, the visa officer has expressed concerns about your choice of program which is not reasonable considering the fact that there are similar available programs in the UK and Nigeria. More so, there is no correlation between Biochemistry with your intended program in Business Analysis. Again is the fact that your immigration status in the UK will soon expire in April.

In light of the above concerns of the visa officer, I'll suggest that you return to Nigeria and reapply for your study permit or more preferably you renew your permit in the UK in either case would work. Most importantly, however, in your next application, apply for a program that is directly relevant to your previous studies in Biochemistry. To ease the difficulty of searching for a program, you can apply for Msc. Biotechnology in Brock University or University of Windsor as this program has strong connection with Biochemistry). Its is highly recommended that you should write a well detailed and concise LOE (3-4 pages max) demonstrating that your situation has substantially changed by highlighting the changes you've made in this current application. The LOE should explain comprehensively your career path and why you chose to pursue an MSc in Biotechnology and its associated benefits to your future goals and prospects in Nigeria. I would further recommend you mention three to four core courses you've done during your undergraduate program in Biochemistry that is relevant to your intended program - this will enable the VO understand that in fact your proposed program is clearly an academic progression.


Let me know if you have any questions.

I decided to pursue an MBA because I wanted to change my career. I did a placement which inspired me to pursue my career in business analysis. I am back to Nigeria now for reapplication and by God's grace I am currently picking up a job in relation to business analysis/ digital solutions at a communications company. Although I lack some knowledge , so I am entering as a entry level personnel that's the more reason I would like to gain added knowledge to my career.

My first letter of explanation was Vague. I did not know how the immigration works in Canada thought it was the same as the UK.

Please advise

@ Frankrobbn1


Please I need your advice on this...I just finished my MBA and I want to progress with my new career in business analysis. As of the time i was just finishing I had not gotten my result and certificate and the only degree i had was in biochemistry. I made application to study in canada but was refused based on my purpose of travel and immigration status.

Quote from the VO:

Nigerian single female. Exemption code C32 (co-op for post-secondary international students) for u of Manitoba. Career trajectory is not justified and illogical at such an expense for relocation. The applicant can find a similar course of study in the UK or in her home country - not necessary to relocate to Canada for a three semester course. The applicant studied biochemistry in Lagos- this proposed course of study is now it line with previous academic achievements. Status in the UK is expiring this April. On the whole am not satisfied this applicant's main objective in Canada is to further her studies - refused on purpose as the path and academic focus are not logical, as well as immigration status (expiring in April).
