For those interested in FULLY-FUNDED THESIS-BASED GRADUATE SCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES in Canada e.g MASTERS, PH.D, POST DOC, it is expected of you to search for Professors whose Research Areas aligns with your Research Interests, Prior Research Experience, Academic Background then send a non-generic cold mail to them

POWER OF COLD MAIL

God bless you richly!
To everyone looking for Funded MS scholarship, MS Assistantship, Graduated Research Assistantship, etc. in US, Canada or

- INTRODUCTION
- PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
- YOUR INTERESTS AND GOALS
- CLOSING

See the sample below

As you can see, this Candidate did her due diligence on her cold mail and got a Positive response from than 3-profs.

So you guys should use this result oriented cold mail and tailor it to your own , then shoot it to the Prof.

Your "Mail Subject" should be related to what you wanna enquire from the Prof.

E.g

Fall 2022: M.SC Candidacy in Computer Science or in the Research Area

Hi,

We no longer need to quarantine if you have collected the full dose of the vaccine

https://twitter.com/TundeTASH/status/1402622704692477956?s=1006[/quote]I think it is false. The tweet has been deleted. It would be a nice improvement tho. The 2kCad can be used for other things. People that still have about 3 months to their travel date should try to get the vaccine, just incase they adopt this new method.

Good afternoon Nairaland Family.

Please I would like to know if someone can apply for study permit (PGD) without part payment of school fees. In other words, is part payment of school fees compulsory before submitting application.

Please note; the school has already sent a conditional offer of admission. Below is the content of the letter;

"Dear ......

This letter confirms that you met the provisional admission offer for the post degree in ......offered at the unversity of winnipeg ...

Met Admission requirement form - use this document for your application to IRCC for a study permit. Pleas consult with IRCC to determine if you can apply for a study permit with a provisional letter, or you should wait until you receive an unconditional offer"

Thank you.

While I await my GCMS note, these are possible reasons for my refusal. For the sake of new applicants, these are the things I did wrong?

I have siblings in Canada who have families. I and my parents are the only ones that reside in Nigeria. I didn't pay tuition fee (there was no acceptance fee attached to my program either). Hence, there could be a 'Purpose of Visit' concern. Could it be he wants to go live with his siblings rather than study?

I am single, mobile (This is not an issue for applicants, unless there are other things to consider, such as what I stated earlier).

I anticipated this, but I underestimated its impact.

I believe if I have to reapply next time, paying tuition is vital. Once GCMS note comes in, I will get a better understanding of what really happened.

A BIG THANK YOU to all those who keep providing valuable information and offering guidance here. God bless and keep you.

Timeline:
1st application 2016
Applied for PGD in HRM to Georgian College
Refused on basis of;
# Home ties (I applied for visitors visa for my husband and first child, my other two are US citizens)
# Finanicial bla bla bla (VO wasn't convinced the course was a reasonable expense, no career progression and he claimed there was a bulk cash lodgement into the account, which unfortunately wasn't true)

2nd application 2020
Applied for MHRM in University of Regina
Refused primarily because I wasn't "totally truthful" in my application. I had clicked yes on the previous refusal of visas but unfortunately it was only the details of my previous study permit application I dwelt on. Other excuses about section R216 ie not leaving Canada were mentioned in the rejection but my GCMS highlighted that the VO's main concern was the non-declaration of the US visa refusal.

*VERY URGENT PLEASE*
I saw a new way to apply for a study permit and I used it instead of the normal way of creating a GcKey. Now I think I’m the only one that used this path. Should I start again and go through the normal path?

*Note* I’m at the last phase of submitting my application.

Kindly check the picture uploaded below to confirm?

Any suggestions please?

Has anyone used the method of applying?

And do I need to upload the Imme forms because I didn’t see anywhere to put it but I’ve already filled it in s section before getting to the last phase

Hi, I'm very sure Stanbic makes use of MBS, except it's a Mutual Funds account, that doesn't use MBS.

Emmasonic4me:
In response to your query,

1. Stanbic IBTC Bank make use of mybankstatement platform. I personally used it for mine. You can access it via their internet banking platform. When you login, go to service request and chose to send statement. You will have the option to chose send statement to embassy and fill other details as required. Once successful, a pop up shows up for you to download the one page mybankstatement certificate containing ticket ID and password. Alternatively, you can go to any of their branches if you're not signed up on internet banking. Don't forget that the service is relatively new to most of their staff, so they may tell you otherwise but you have to insist you know what you're requesting for.

2. If you send MBS to IRCC, they can only view your transactions up to the time you requested for it to be sent. Any other transaction afterwards will not be seen by them. However, if the manner the funds came looks suspicious that it may be borrowed fund, the VO can request for updated MBS to allay his concerns. You wouldn't want to shoot yourself on the leg if actually the money in the account is yours.

3. Since you're no longer working with them, the wording of the letter will be in the past tense. Basically, an introduction letter for you will state that you were a staff with the organisation between period A to B, it will state the position you occupied and your monthly/yearly salary (gross or net salary). Finally it may want to attest to your personality and request the Canadian embassy to assist you with any help possible towards your study permit application. This is not exhaustive but that's the much I can remember for now.

Hope it helps.

Hi!

1. Don’t transfer the funds. You need to show how the funds grew and a single lump transfer is a huge red flag. If your bank doesn’t do MBS, use regular bank statements.

2. Funds can be withdrawn after application but it is best not to do so. The VO may request for another bank statement at any point during your visa processing. Unless the huge withdrawal is for Payment of Tuition fee, please avoid doing it.

P.S your funds can’t be tracked. They only see what you give them access to via MBS or upload via bank statements.

3. I have no idea about this. Please wait on others to respond.

I would like to point out that if you’re going to submit an application as an employed person, you need to drop a statement of your salary account. This may not be relevant to you tho.

Hi Everyone,

My application was also refused based on personal assets and financial status. Tbh, my application was quite shoddy (Submitted very basic documents).It was months after applying I got to know of Nairaland and sincerely I commend everyone's effort for the input ( The info put out here is amazing). I have learnt a lot which will be applied in my next application.
I am self sponsored. I submitted my usd dollar account with lump payments in 2 tranches without any explanation.

I didn't also attach my salary account since there was no fund it which I realised I should have done now and not enough evidence i was gainfully employed. I just submitted basic documents(mbs, b.sc cert, transcripts,c.v and previous visas to various countries; realising based on this thread that won't influence the decision)
Although I tried salvaging my application after already 5 weeks off showing eligibility required by sending a webform with a more detailed LOE and additional documents. Thanks to Shupy for responding to my enquiries.

I got my refusal letter 2 weeks later. I have ordered for my gcms notes, trying to wait patiently for it. My admission was for fall 2021 but will have to defer till January 2022.
P.s I submitted in March, NSE route.

Hello house,

To apply for study visa, do I need to submit a letter from my employer?

Also, if anyone can suggest PGDs in web development, that would be helpful.
