Your main issue to tackle is Purpose of Visit. Your finances may or may not be an issue... I wouldn't consider this the largest issue.

Do you think your SOP was strong? Did you justify why you are specifically going for a PGD and not MSc (I believe this is very important as some VOs might be more suspicious of the motive of PGD applicants given the ease of admission)?

In any case both PGD and MSc applicants can get a Purpose of Visit delay, the key issue is that the VO was not convinced that you are a genuine student. If the VO is convinced about Purpose of Visit, they rarely delay the application for other reasons except for insufficient funds.

Oh also, did you explicitly link your BSc Elect/Elect and work experience with the Industrial Automation PGD program? You need to make everything crystal clear to the VO as they might know nothing about science and engineering.

I would recommend that you don't rush to reapply until you are certain that you have plugged all holes.

Lol..they prolly use it as a rough guide to check liquid asset for pple who had worked and have limited savings in their account..What I said here is like an estimate, if u av been following express entry, u will understand that they expect a single applicant to have abt $12k CAD or so as POF, for them this is sufficient..It is not expressly written on my gcms bt it was stated that my funds are limited..

One more thing, purpose of visit will always be questioned if ur finances or someother stuff aint right..My purpose of visit wasn't the issue even though it was ticked, bt from my gcms, they were not satisfied based on my funds that I am a BF student. Btw.UG and Masters for me are on the same Chemical engrg path.So each person's case is also important

My 2 kobo!

thesoj:
Yeah I have mixed views about the boosting your account advice. If you do it, you have to be very careful so that it isn't viewed as money lodgement. @berexio1, how did you fix your issue? Did you just dump money into your account in one fell swoop?

gabrola:
Bro i sent u a pm

newacca:

Opening balance doesn't matter. What matters is the closing balance and the turnover history ( inflow and outflow ). The inflow should be greater than the outflow; that's what makes the account looks healthy.

berexio1:
In my case because I had more than one account,I simply showed my other accounts and effected a transfer from them..U can have money paid to ur other account and transfer to the one u wanna use..U can explain that u have funds in different accounts.. Hope this helps..

Omonjoe:

Khalesi:
Orhfor and Ikem please what courses are you guys going for? Good to find folks here in same faculty.

crest2j:
good morning palz, I want to further my studies in canada. I nid help n Guild line

idolda:
Thanks so much for this. Is it OK to continue to build up your account and not withdraw any from it during the 4months period ?

phonesNgadgets:

It depends on the case and type of account. If you claim it's a business account, they expect bth deposit and withdrawal regularly.

If it's a personal account, you can continue to deposit money into the account without withdrawal for 4mths (even more) as you intend. It adds up.

You can include it into your SOP that money have not been withdrawn in the past 4mths intentionally; and that it had been saved up for your study purpose. This story will even be more convincing if the acct is in your name.

Alles gute!
