Inestimable61: Hey guys , just got my GCMS note . Their concerns was that my funds may not be available and that they are not convinced that the proposed studies will be a reasonable expense .
I also think most of the concerns are from my SOP. That my study plan does not appear reasonable given my career path and that the reason I provided for the course of study was unclear given the high cost of living of education in Canada.
Please guys I need to address these concerns and will appreciate any assistance I can get . Was personal assets and financial status the only reason stated in the correspondence letter? There seems to be a reference to the study plan as well relating to purpose of visit. |

Many thanks @JustMellow for the very detailed feedback. JR would be the last resort. Waiting to see what is contained in the gcms notes this time. JustMellow:
Hello Oghogho1313,
Sorry to hear you got delayed. JR goes in 3 stages: Settlement, Application Record and Hearing. Depending on the law firm, a good law firm in places like Toronto may charge up to $4,000 CAD for settlement, $3,000 CAD for Application Record and $2,000 for Hearing.
How deos the process work?
The immigration lawyer prepares a strong case and approach the counsel for a out-of-court settlement. If it is accepted by the counsel, the case don't go for a Hearing nor the Application Record where the judge reviews the case and either grant a leave or dismissal.
If the settlement deal was accepted by counsel, you get to pay the immigration lawyer only $4,000 CAD or as the charge may be. If an impasse wasn't reached during the settlement stage, it moves to Hearing. As mentioned before, when the judge grants a leave during the Application Record stage, it moves to Hearing. You are required to pay rhe immigration lawyer at every stage, though it depends on the billing policy of the law firm.
Some of this lawyers are quacks. So ensure you make adequate findings before making any commitment. The Hearing stage is the final stage where the judge makes a final decision. If a positive decision is given, the judge orders the IRCC to reopen the case and in turn, passed to a different officer to reassessed.
The settlement stage could take between 1 - 4 weeks. The Application record and hearing could drag between 6 - 9 months, but some cases may be lucky to be concluded in 3 months.
Once the application is reopened by the VO, it could take between 1 - 3 months to get approved or rejected. In most cases, it always get approved as long as it scaled through the Hearing stage.
Though in some unprecedented situation, the process could tarry.
I think you should follow @GCMSWriters on Twitter. They freely advise prospective Canadian applicants.
BTW, I don't think you should seek for a JR. Try giving it a shot one more time and if the story doesn't change, then you can seek for one.
Before anything, Ensure you get your notes.
Best of Luck

Cuddles7: So sorry about the 2nd refusal.
I think you need an immigration lawyer for this. It should be done within 60days of receiving your refusal if you applied from outside canada and 15 days if you are inside Canada. Lawyers charge anywhere from 3500-5000 dollars for this Service.
Has two steps... applying for leave then if that is approved, apply for judicial review
Before you choose Judicial Review make sure your original application has a strong case for approval....
So apply for your GCMS notes and ensure the visa officer refused you in error or did not review all the documents you sent appropriately
This is the much I know. Any persons with more info can help out.
IRCC link below might be helpful too

Many thanks for this. Will keep this in mind if I reach the conclusion that JR is the best course of action. 1 Like |

Does anyone know how to go about the judicial review process? Got a rejection on my second application on the basis of financial status and personal assets (This did not even come up in my first application). I used an MBS along with additional investments in USD and NGN above above and beyond the required amounts with clear explanations (table of contents, summary financial table based on available funds etc)

I guess your eligibility is done but they are yet to update it.
When did you submit your application and did you submit NSE request?
I pray its PPR. Amen Submitted end of Nov. Did not get an NSE request but submitted both IELTs, Medicals & MyBankStatement alongside the application. 1 Like |

1) It is not mandatory for you to write IELTS if it's the regular channel of Canada Study Visa Application you want to follow (15 weeks Processing time), but if you want your Application to be processed via the NSE route (20 days Processing time), IELTS is Mandatory, and you must have the required band score.
2) It is not mandatory for you to reapply through NSE, the choice is yours
Either you reapply via the,
Regular Channel (presently 15 weeks)
or
NSE route (20 days Processing time)

I did not get an NSE request(perhaps as I have already applied with both documents upfront along with medicals as this was my second application). My eligibility review has been on for 3 weeks or thereabout. Would it make sense to send both IELTS & MyBank Statements again, this time via webform or email and ask that the application should go through NSE route?

They have had a lot of logistics challenges and I believe these are being taken up with their shippers.

Lately, we had some backs and forths and people having to question our service reliability as a result of a long stretched shipping challenge we had in which we reported back to our clients the reports we were fed by the freight company we used, most of which happened to be dead-ends
Fortunately, everything has been resolved
We are grateful to everyone, most especially those who understood and could easily relate to our efforts of trying to resolve the issues we had at hand.
We are sincerely appreciative of this, because as an upcoming start-up business in Nigeria, our intense efforts alone may not even take us past few metres, talk more of taking us several miles ahead in order to achieve our organisation's vision, but with the patronage and most especially the love and support from our clientele we stand a better chance to collectively achieve our set goals and further better our service delivery.
Thank you and Stay blessed

Hi Guys,
I have a quick question. When re-applying for a study permit after an initial refusal does one need to attach all previously included documents or mostly new documents to address the reasons for the refusal. Sizes of the attachment can add up really fast and it would be good to know if things like employment letter, payslips, etc which were sent earlier can be left out during the new application. |

Hi Just Mellow, Sent you an email. Pls check. JustMellow:
Hello Sheg105,
You have a very good profile. Considering your financial strength and HT, it may be reasonable if you consider a family application with an added reason and advantage of been a young family. This way, the areas you should watch out for is being able to demonstrate sufficient funds, justify your visit purpose, HT and make daycare plans for your child or not. You may make an insightful argument that your spouse would be charge with the sole task of looking after the child.
You shouldn't fail to state clearly the benefits of your study intent to your company and how it can improve it. This benefits can be broken down into two perspectives with the first as your future prospects/career advanvement and the second building a solid HT with the study intent by adequately linking it to your company back home.
On the other hand, you may want to apply alone and your spouse could either apply for a VV and thereafter apply for a SOWP in Canada or apply for a SOWP directly from her home country. A VV is also applicable for the child. It may be better if you initiate the process after the completion of your first semester or you could as well initiate the process at any time which is also good.
If your spouse is on SOWP, working for unlimited hours is allowed while you study. There is no need for an agent though but that's a choice and decision at your call.
All the best
