I sense V.O was kinda lost with the course selection. You read Maths, had a Dip in SW Eng and currently teaching Maths and still want to go for Software eng. Your SOP wasn't convincing enough. You might want to work on your SOP.Furthermore,see if you could get another admission while you keep this. Note that this 1year pgc gets you a year PGWP.

Canada Post Strike

This has absolutely nothing to do with study permit application in Nigeria. Canada Post strike only affect mails within Canada as well as mails into and out of Canada. Application from Nigeria are processed in Accra, Ghana NOT in Canada.
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 10 by thesoj: 1:41pm On Jul 11, 2016
The dreaded "purpose or visit" delay. Sorry about that.

Software engineering is closely linked to mathematics and logic, you should make it very clear and explicit to the VO the relationship between these fields of study.

You need to work on your SOP and make it very convincing. Don't leave any room for ambiguity, else the VO will almost always think the worst. Remember it is your duty to prove your purpose of visit -- if the VO is not 100% convinced, that's very likely a denial. You need to make clear why exactly you like software engineering, why exactly you want to study it in Canada (instead of anywhere else), why exactly you are doing a PGC (and not a masters), what you plan to use the Canada training for in Nigeria (be specific... talk about projects in Naija you would use the skills to implement, and discuss how some of the courses in the program would enable this), etc. Be specific, I can't emphasize this enough.

In your SOP, you need to write unambiguously, boldly, confidently, and directly (but with humility and zero arrogance).

One of the rules of writing credibly is "show, don't tell". Instead of saying you are interested in software development, show your passion by describing some of the software you have developed in the past. Do you have any screenshots of some of the software you have developed? If so, attach them to your SOP and of course append a caption so the VO is not confused. Also describe the (potential) impact of the software you have written or aspire to write. Describe your current expertise in software (e.g. what languages do you write in? What is your skill level? How will a Canada education help you get to a different level? etc)? Also, make sure your CV contains mostly relevant information, e.g. have a section on "software skills", "software projects developed", etc. Every part of your application should be coherent and should tell a comprehensive story about you and your passions. Definitely attach your CV to your next application and make sure it is very professional. Make sure your SOP and CV are comprehensible by a lay person (the VO) who doesn't understand computer science or programming.

Lastly, make sure there are no grammatical errors or logical inconsistencies in your SOP or any other parts of your application. If I were a VO, a quick screen for serious applicants would be excessive grammatical and logical errors; VOs are more likely to deny applicants that present sloppy applications.

Try again bro, but be willing to invest countless hours on chiseling your SOP and the rest of your application. Wish you the best.

Edited for clarity

@TheDreamChaser
Also, don't forget to explain to the VO why you are a teacher and how it has helped shaped you and your long-term goals. For example, since you are a teacher you probably have better insights of what sort of software you want to develop that would help students learn better etc. You should find ways to link your job as a maths teacher with your goals as a software developer. Think about why you became a teacher and what you like about it and how you can synergize this experience with your long-term goals as a software developer. E.g. how can maths be taught better in Nigeria using better pedagogical software tools? What are your ideas to create such tools with your Canada training?

Btw make sure your SOP is not too long o (1-2 pages). And if it is long, make sure it is a very enjoyable and effortless read (i.e. if it is more than 2 pages then better write prose like Chimamanda or close)

I wouldn't say it is "compulsory" but I would say it is very highly recommended. If for some reason the company can't access it, then I hope they have lots of proof of their income & solvency (e.g. proof of contracts with different clients over a long period of time [like a year] proof of income from these contracts, etc).

Basically think like a VO. A VO needs credible proof that the company can afford to sponsor you, and s/he needs to know that 1) it is a legal company 2) it has a history of sufficient funds 3) it has credible sources of income. A tax clearance answers these three questions in one fell swoop!

I would highly recommend the tax clearance, if possible. But if not, then provide documents that address the points I raised in the previous paragraph.
