Please house I need advice on this: My application was refused on PURPOSE OF VISIT because the vo wasn't "convinced" I would leave Canada on completion of my programme. In my application I included my assets and that members of my family are in Nigeria. I am not married. my purposed course of study is in line with my undergraduate degree. how do I CONVINCE the vo that I would leave? I thought I had that covered already.

UG: Mechanical Engineering(2011)
Intended course of study: Mechanical Engineering (M.Eng)
Work Experience: worked as a piping draughtsman/designer for about ten months but currently in partnership with a friend in his business(I provided evidence of this in my application)

Ejaloni123:

On a second thought, did you document this your friend's business during the application?

willyboss:
Yes I did.

emeify:


What is the nature of the business? Did you show enough funds and ties to Nigeria?
And what was the 'exact' reason for the delay

Adefolakemi:


Sorry about the delay. If you finished from uni in 2011 which is about 6 years ago and you have 10 months working experience in your field, i am guessing you have been doing this business with your friend for almost 4 years. I think the VO believes that you should be interested in furthering your studies to improve your business and not your undergraduate course.
This is just my thoughts. I don't really know so much.

Eraytee:

Bro I'll say it again if that business of yours/friend is not inline with your proposed course of study bearing in mind ur previous experience is just 10months. The said purpose of visit will surely be coming up.

SamReinvented:


This evidence that you submitted, does it include the following? Prove of registration and legal operation (CAC certificate, tax clearance, etc); a legal document that establishes your claim of partnership, clearly defining your stake in the business; the company's statement of account, to represent the size of it and its worth.
If not, what exactly are the evidence that you submitted?

willyboss:
I finished Youth Service 2013, started working 2014 and only joined my friend's business March 2016

tuzinde:


1.do not staple any
2. No need, much you can do is to arrange them, but this will also be done by the staff that will attend to you

Eraytee:

Why are you sceptical to say the type of business bro, com out of your shell fully so that people can proffer help, business can be anything, even a yahoo boy go tell u say na business hin dey do. So what type of business are you doing with your friend?

cheapphones:
If Canada claims that they're looking for professionals hence the purpose of express entry, I don't see a reason why the vo should then be bothered about an Msc student not coming back hence refusing them visa, it just doesn't add up. I tot it's countries that are doing everything to reduce immigration that should be concerned about your leaving immediately you finish whatever you're coming to do.
I'm just trying to make common sense, I know ee is entirely different from going to study but this is sth I've been wondering and I wonder if I'm the only one that sees it like that.

haven't you thought about people that go there and runaway... The Don't go to the school they applied for... They enter Street and start committing fraud and other crimes to survive in the name of hustle? That is what they are trying to curb! They want to make sure you are a genuine student

the purpose of visit is clear because that BUSINESS I think has no relationship with MECHNICAL ENGINEERING. even if a program relates to our undergraduate let it also fall in line with our current activity/employment/job responsibilities in other to show career progression especially if you ain't a FRESH GRAGUATE FROM THE UNIVERSITY. na we dey use our hands give ourselves ''purpose of visit''. in 2015 what were you doing as I sensed a GAP there? in 2016 till date you told the VO you do business? na here purpose of visit begin show. The VO didn't see what MEng program in Mech.Eng would benefit to your current situation as a businessman.

my thought though

so much work would have been done on your SOP to make things defined and clear and reasons for such postgraduate study(M.Eng), but I think it wasn't made clearer. TRV application requires smart thinking you have to think 360* degrees.

CPA01:


I dont even understand this purpose of visit thing anymore. If he opted for a businesses related course cos he is into business then we will say his undergraduate studies is not in line with proposed studies. I have seen someone on this thread that got this same purpose of visit with perfect course (Masters) and well related work experience.

Am thinking nowadays TRV is based on Overall profile of the applicant and sometimes poor SOP.

With due respect sir, what do you expect this applicant to do in this case?.. Do you expect him to start looking for job in his field?.. Kindly throw more light please.

My view: TRV is getting tougher nowadays. Nigerians have disappointed us in canada. We should all be prayerful and hopefull. All the best
