Gurus, please advice. DOnt really understand the dangons in this GCMS notes

matic12:


it depends..... if the program you going for is 6 month or less no need of medicals BUT if it's more than 6 month then you ought to have been called for medicals... when did you apply? and what program are you going for?

mcobex:
MUN will be in a better position to tell you if you qualify for admission or not. Concerning the English language proficiency, cases defer. When I applied for admission I was admitted without sitting for any English exam, all I did was get a letter from my previous school stating I was taught in English language during my program and that worked. A friend of mine(in this same thread) didn't have same luck this year as he was asked to provide a result. So your case can only be judge by MUN alone

Hello Sir/Ma,

Your GCMS Note is talking about your HOME TIES and not dangons(as you refer it). Your app was refused based on HOME TIES.
Also you have to check to your refusal letter too.
*What was on your letter?
*On what ground were you denied based on your refusal letter.

Put more effort constructing a convincing SOP, that will portary you as a genuine student that will complete a course of study in Canada and depart.

Below are possible ways to tackle home ties as a reason for refusal of study permit.

1-)Do you have any family landed property in your name, this can serve as a hometies.
2-)Are you married with kids. Your spouse can serve as your hometie.
3-)Do you have any job offer awaiting you in NIgeria after completion of your studies in Canada
4-)Do you have any registered operating business back home(it also a home tie)
5-)Your family members.

I hope this helps.

All the best!

Hello fam,
My visa was refused on 25th and I just got my GCMSNOTES today. See below for their reason for refusal and kindly advise accordingly. Many thanks!

Pa completed a university degree in home country and has been following a career since. Now wishes to study for a Master’s degree at University of Manitoba in order to enhance career prospects. Cost of studies is rather significant in light of pa’s/family’s financial situation and am not satisfied that any possible increase in income in future would justify such a significant expense. Studies to be supported by parents. There is no indication that pa’s parent are or were gainfully employed. Am not satisfied that pa’s ties to home country are sufficient to compel pa to leave Canada at the end of authorized stay and that motivation to study is genuine. Am not satisfied that pa’s career prospect in home country justify pa’s stated motivation and that the plan described in pa’s submission is sound. Am not satisfied that motivation to study is genuine. Refused

Hello all. I'm a silent reader and have learnt so much from this thread. I'm yet to apply for my study permit but I'm sure that with God on my side coupled with the things I've learnt from this thread, there wouldn't be any issue and I'm grateful for that. There's a recent trend I'm noticing, questions are rarely answered these days, I admit many of these questions asked are unnecessary because most of the answers can be found if only people read previous thread or even go to page 0 of this particular thread but there are still some questions I feel are really important that the gurus rarely answer these days..........
N.B. I'm very sorry for the long post

Hey guys,

I just checked my application online and I discovered that review of medical results status has changed to "we did not receive your medical results.check below for instructions".
When I received the mail to go for medicals a month ago,I sent an email to accra immigration that I had done my medicals upfront.the mail was acknowledged and they said the document has been added to my file.I don't know why I'm seeing this new status

Gurus please advice..what can I do?

Thank you.

RAY12345:
Do you intend to apply online or link your paper app to online ?

I know everybody has a life to live and will be really busy and I'm not at the other end so I wouldn't know how difficult it is shuffling between school and trying to make ends meet which might make it not easy coming online and keeping up with most things that is posted here here but pls I'm begging the gurus, don't let this our lovely thread die because so many people gained lot of knowledge from here which made their travelling easier, as much as possible try to create small time to help we the novice. A friend recently got denied and before applying he reached out to few people, so his SOP can be reviewed but there was no response from anybody. I really appreciate all the efforts you've all made and I'm a beneficiary of getting tremendous help from few people on this thread but going through the previous thread and reading old posts, I could feel the love amongst people that had not even met each other which is gradually fading away here, everybody really tried their best to help each other out then, please let's return to the Status quo, so this platform will not die. To the newbies I'm sure if you can just take out time to read well, many unnecessary questions will be avoided and it will be easier to notice the more important questions. I pray travel falls on all genuine applicants in Jesus name. Thank you
N.B. I'm very sorry for the long post

Sure a single parent's story can be inspirational to an admissions' committee. It is a circumstance you can use to your advantage, so do not hide anything.

Hello Sir/Ma,
You are not legally married and you have a son.
I'm sorry that won't add any advantage to your TRV application. I don't see any reason adding such to your application, it will raise eye brows and visa officer will question such act and your intend to study. I have come across a particular GCMS Note where such was noted
[/b](APPLICANT NOT LEGALLY MARRIED BUT HAVE A CHILD, APPLICANT APPEARS TO BE USING STUDY PERMIT AS A MEANS TO FACILITATE RELOCATION TO CANADA. BASED ON THIS I'M NOT SATISFIED THAT APP IS A GENIUNE STUDENT, THAT WILL COMPLETE A COURSE OF STUDY IN CANADA AND DEPART. REFUSED!!!)[b]

Ask yourself this, you are travelling to study in Canada and you have a son that is dependant on you, what is his fate? Do you intend leaving him here being stranded without care until you finish your 4 years academic program. I want to believe you want to use him as your home tie right?
I must tell you that you don't have any legal claims/prove/evidence that he is truly your *SON*

My candid advice is you shouldn't add such to your application, it will lead to your visa been denied.

If you decide to go by that route, i'll best suggest you are legally married. So you can be able to claim the little boy as your SON by LAW.

I hope this helps
All the best!

I don't advice the fellow to go by that route. The Visa officer will question such act.
Remember the fellow said he/she is not legally married legally, but single and has a SON.

Also, the fellow is dependant on his/her sponspor. So the expense burden will be on the sponspor, not just that the fellow is trying to use the little boy as his/her HOMETIE. What then now becomes the fate of the little child, since the fellow is going for a 4 years undergraduate program, that will last long and you buy the idea that he/she should add it to his/her app. Without prove nor claims for that child.

Well, I have said mine. It all depends on the Visa officer, but I'll say that again. It will raise red flag to your visa application.


All the best!

Hello house, I got a msg today to pick up my proccessed passport at the VAC....my worry is that, can I get a visa approval without having a request for medical?

jnyuwa02:


Personally, I have been trying to create time to come here everyday and share and answer questions and learn a thing or two myself. I have been buried under an avalanche of request from people to review their SOP, one question or the other. It has not been easy even just replying to people's emails because to do so, would mean I would have no life. So please be patient if you have written to me. I will eventually get back to you I promise. Slowly making my way up the email. It shall end in praise!!
Uncle jyunwa is a Gift to this thread... God bless him. Pls let's try and reduce the work load here biko. Thks

Ps: for those with questions, it is usually better to ask it here on this forum so it answered and people learn, solving questions that could have been asked by so many people if you had not asked it here. This will help reduce the workload.

I just want to say God bless uncle jnyuwa!
