My entire family lives here in Naija except my older bro who completed his post graduate degree in Canada.

I have an employment and little assets and finance as shown above.
not sure what else would suvice for home tie, it wasn't highlighted though.

twizzie:
What kind of visa are you applying for? To the best of my knowledge, if it is non-immigrant, you do not need any kind of medicals! You get your visa on the spot..

Fhemmmy:


Did you send them a letter from your employer that your job will be waiting for you while you are gone? Mind you families living in Nigeria is not enough as the distance between and them is a flight ticket. . . .Further more, did you indicate in your SOP that your brother studied in Canada and if i may ask, where is that your brother today, in Canada or he returned back to Nigeria after his studies?

standupguy:


The thing is my previous refusal never questioned these things, they only complained of finance so I assumed they were ok with those but finance.
Both previous refusuals were just Insufficient finance and personal assets, so does it mean I pay 40k application fee for them to review one aspect and ignore others?
My brother fortunately did well in school so he got employed immediately after graduation, he is still on his graduate work permit. I am even named next of kin on all his employment docs.

Fhemmmy:


My brother, with the bold, it is more than enough for them to question if you would return back after your studies.
When you are re-applying too, never assume they will continue where they left off, it is a new application and leave no stone unturned

Boss, have you heard the Tupac song "the good die young"? That's my opinion about justice in the world -- it doesn't really exist. But we can always do our best and try to mitigate risks as best we can.

Inkblood:
please whats the difference between a graduate certificate and a graduate diploma?

standupguy:
You done see am?

Fablady:
Congrats team12. Please promise us u will still be checking on this thread to help people like us on TRV applications. I really love your spirit! Shine on girl!

standupguy:


of course the bolded in just between me and him.
How CIC wan take know that one.
Well I have no intention of reapplying because honestly it getting quit insulting. Begging for an over priced education with my own money? Haba e get as e be na.

standupguy:
So my own wait is over so is my quest to study in Canada.
Got a refusal mail right now, abeg no condolence please, at least i have ascertained that CIC is an organization with no laid down procedure nor rules. My Only regret is that i should have listened to Mrnilbrown earlier.
After i was refused for insufficient available finance for tuition and living expenses in my first app.
The second app i was refused for insufficient available finance for living expenses and personal assets. (Both time my sponsors finance were very good but i didn't include my SOAs and Assets though i stated my employment status and earnings.


Well this time around it is purpose of visit and length of stay can you imagine that ?

Well this what i submitted for this final application

SOP
Letter of Introduction from Employer
My SOAs 250K, 50K, 10K
My Fixed deposit 2.2M (This fixed deposit was made since Dec last year).
My Stock evaluation and portfolio (250k).
Tuition receipt Payment (27,205 CAD).
Degree result
Neco result
My Resume

Sponsors Affidavit of sponsorship.
Sponsors Letter of intro from Employer stating salary (8M).
Sponsors SOAs 3.4M/1M.
Sponsors Property documents.
Birth certificate.

I changed institutions from Conestoga to Centennial because my program at conestoga didn't have a September intake.
Both programs where the same and post graduate programs and i explained this in my SOP and even put there website to buttress my point.

What i would like to know is how CIC suddenly realized that they dont understand my purpose of visit and length of stay after two applications were refused for financial reasons but not for purpose of visit sounds quite phony.
In conclusion CIC is rogue organization!!!!!

Well it has been a pleasure being part of this wonderful family.
Thanks to everyone and God bless you all

your luggage is safe + u'll be given a locker. never heard of saint andrew.. my advise: get here before you start house hunting... you can catch a ubc 22 bus heading to ubc from downtown. (hi jericho). the sweet thing is u'll get an apt to move in once u land.. of course, thats if you have cash. apts are plenri... but your taste is what counts. so get here, and u'll get apts in the next 1 hour

Fhemmmy:


I asked you if you mentioned in your letter that you have a relation in Canada that left via student visa, if you never did, did your employer gave you any letter that your job will be waiting for you while you were away or not? I am yet to see something concrete as tie to homeland in what you said and i think that was the main thing here, there wont be much connection between your denied application and the new one, so if yo never submitted information about tie to Nigeria that will make you to wanna go back, that was an error.
Dont see it as an insult, see it as a delay and refire after tying all lose ends . . .see you in Canada

berexio1:
So CIC still questioned standupguy's purpose of visit after paying tuition and writing powerful SOP.

His no assets were okay, that's why it wasn't ticked..If anyone is giving a reason why he was refused, it should be related to these reasons oo.

For me, I feel they now don't buy the idea of doing PGD, maybe masters is now their new logo.Or maybe the non-parent sponsor thing. Which one come be length of study again?How many years do they want him to study again? They should just tell him na if na 6months dem want make he stay there.

I feel really pained sha...

standupguy:


I submitted letter of employment but not a study leave which indicates the job will be waiting for me because honestly I don't believe that a job can wait for anyone for two yrs in Nigeria, it just doesn't sound and look right to me.
In my gcms file from my last app the V.O made a note that I wanted to join my brother because my school happened to be in the town where he lives now because I had no money, so I had to clarify that by proving to them that he was still a student in another school and town at the time of my application so there assumption for false and unfounded.

Finally my question is why didn't they highlight this in my previous refusals, two preivois refusal only talked about funds? Nothing changed so why didn't the two previous V.Os see this the reasons too?

berexio1:
oh they said all these in ur gcms? In ur previous app, u just filled ur brother's address in canada in the family form right? That's what brought the assumption that u wanted to stay with him in the first place right?

Secondly, I think most of the VOs that pick up a file will most likely treat it as a fresh application. Am sure that's what they have been told to do. These pple don't even have time to read SOP(that's my assumption).For me, documents are the best things to help create an impression of your application.Let's not forget that this can also be quota playing out..

standupguy:


Personally I believe my indictment was because I have a brother in Canada. Which is funny because he sn't a nuisance but actually contributing his quota to development of the country.

Secondlt this there new found love for Msc applicant is something else to consider.

People still present none relative sponsors and get TRV.
So I don't think is has anything to do with my sponsor.

I wonder how I would have paidall that tuition to be purposeless in Canada.

ahyotomiwa:
I guess d point standupguy was makin was..instead of ticking dat e might not return based on CIC reg n Act..sinx e submitted same app 1st tym with changes only in d financials..den his first app shd av bin rejected based on financials n also d nonsatisfctn dat e mit not leav...wch to an extent "questions aw dey apply dere immigration codes to prospective applicants...chikena

USA, Canada and Mexico are all in same group and they work together, so you cant use that as a comparison.

Without being a VO, what i see in the bold is:
1. Family reunion
2. Incapable to finance your education and might end up being a strain on the system
3. Soon, another one will join you 2 and making 3 from your family.
Mind you, i agree with you that some makes no sense, but you play into their hands and what is said in first refusal is of no point but how you have played into their hands.
Me and I know, no job will wait for you but it that is all they wanna hear for you to get your VISA, so be it, tell them what they wanna hear and move on with life.

TheBae:
...because VO1 and VO2 didn't have a problem with purpose and length of stay doesn't mean VO3 wouldn't...
