I thought they mostly request for a 2:1. 3.5/5.0 is an upper in Nigeria, so you are saying he is going to find it difficult?
In my case, I made a 2:2 (3.47/5.0), I have a Master's degree from UI (PhD grade). I want to go do another Masters in Canada, my plan was to follow the pgd path and be silent about the Master's degree, but I learnt winning the war with pgd at the VO's office ain't easy. so should I apply with my msc for another msc? what are my chances please...

The implication of your silence now would be when you apply for permanent residency, they would ask for your UCI number and linked your student application to it.

Don't silent anything, apply for EE instead. Once you become domestic student, you will have more admission and funding opportunities. You can even do another undergraduate degree after then if you like.

You don't need to worry about employment Sir!, if you are a fresh graduate. Make sure you clearly state that on your app that you just graduated and you will be fine.
Thanks for the tips, much appreciated. What if one isn't gainfully employed (i.e Not up 400CAD). And also can I tackle "Job prospects in your country"? Thanks in anticipation

Is it required in the school you are applying too for transcript evaluation? If yes go ahead. If no you don't need then except you are doing it for PR sake again.

No, the school doesn't. I just wanted to do it so that I won't have to always go through the stress of asking my undergraduate uni to mail my transcripts, every time I want to school. You know how stressing Nigerian schools can be. I just wanted to make them send it to WES once and for all, and let WES send their evaluation, in subsequent times that I'd need it.

I think I know better now, and my method will most probably not work. Thank you for the reply and happy new year! smiley

Hello Everyone!
I am very glad to have found this thread at this time. I just made my decision to further my studies in Canada.
I tried using an agent so I called for them.to give me a breakdown of the requirements. Turned out I will have to get the admission myself(Physics), so I just decided to run everything myself.
First I have to decide on a international friendly school(I wish not to pay half of my tuition before getting there as I plan to see myself through school while working there).
Secondly, I heard Canadian student visa is as much as NGN700-800k now, is it true?. If its true, should I go through an agent or should I still process it myself?
Lastly, I am grateful to the mastermind behind this thread and those of you who have shared valuable information. Thank you all.

Copied for the person asking about how to tackle purpose of Visit i think.
Hello Room!

I was going through the thread and I noticed that most applicants were refused of their study visas based on the following grounds shorlisted on this post and this has given most of them sleepness night, some have decided to quit the Canadian dream and end up having the mindset that Canadian study visa is tough and can not be easily approved unless you use an AGENT, some even go as far as paying millions to AGENTS just to get their study visa. I must tell you that it is a lie, most agents even go as far as complicating issues for applicant, which most times lead to misrepresentation and a 5 years Ban. After reading this post, you have to get up to your feet , beat your chest and do things in the right way and get your study permit app approved Asap.

RECENT REFUSAL GROUNDS:

1-) Purpose of visit
2-) Current employment situation
3-) Personal asset and financial status.
4-) family ties in Canada or home country.

In this post I'll address the above reasons and give POSSSIBLE WAYS to tackle the concerns of the visa officer.

1-) PURPOSE OF VISIT -

It is important that your visit coincides with an important event in your life or the purpose of the visit can be reasonably explained in your SOP. If it is for study you must have qualifications in that field or have the expertise in that area. Most times, your job role or company should be relevant to previous studies and to your chosen field of study in Canada.
If you decide to change career path, it should be clearly stated on your SOP with compelling/strong/ and convincing reasons to why you decide to change a career path.

Your letter of intent should reflect the following and should be addressed in each paragraphs to avoid repetition.
1-) Describe your academic background briefly.
2-) Why you choose Canada not Nigeria.
3-) The school.
4-) The program of choice.
5-)How you intend to finance your studies in Canada without working.
6-) What you intend to achieve at the end of the program and how it might benefit you in the future.

Everything should point to 'studying in Canada' not working or visiting friends and family in Canada or securing a PR after completion of studies.

Address all academic backlogs, study gaps, study plans etc... on your SOP.


2-) CURRENT EMPLOYMENTSITUATION

Every embassy will like to satisfy themselves that the applicant has a gainful employment in their country of residence and that the prospects of getting a job when they loose their current one is high. That satisfies them that you won’t leave your job when you travel to their country. Canada’s High Commission is no exception. You need to prove to them that you’ve been working for at least 2 years continuously, you earn a good salary, say CAD$400- CAD$1,000 plus a month depending on the level of your education, you have leave to travel, and you are qualified for the job you are currently employed in. So add your CV, school certificates, previous and current job offer letters, leave letters, pay slips and introductory notes from your firm to evidence your employment.

3-) PERSONAL ASSET AND FINANCIAL STATUS

Like most embassies, the Canadian High Commission will also be interested in your finances. Show a 6-month bank statement or more for any Canada visa application; both current and savings accounts, showing your salaries or income from employment. If you have treasury bills, building society savings, mortgages, microfinance or credit union savings and the pass book or certificates, share investments in companies etc, add all to prove you have enough financial resources before and after your trip. There is no cut off bank statement figure. So try as much as possible to show your monthly inflow and outflow of salaries in your salary bank statement with a good closing balance as a proof of financial establishment.

4-)

FAMILY TIES IN CANADA OR HOME COUNTRY

Prospective travellers who were refused with this point wondered why they should have a family in Canada before being given the visa. Note that the full statement is “family in Canada OR family in your home country”. So its either you failed to prove each criterion or both criteria, that is, whether you have family ties in Canada or whether you have family ties to your home country. This is what you do :

Show sufficient ties to your home country i.e. what will compel you to return home?

1-) Do you have a spouse and kids(minors) and are you leaving them behind?
2-) Do you have elderly parents who depend on you?
3-) Do you own businesses/property that you need to continue managing?
4-) Do you have adequate funds?
5-) Do you have family members whom are not accompanying you to Canada?

All these mentioned are HOME TIES, so if you have any of the following listed, endeavor to show evidence to each of them and make sure you add it to your application.

The above information is Legit and was obtained from a Canadian Legal personnel.

I wish you all Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

All the best to the hopefuls and to the approved, CONGRATULATIONS!!!.

Study permit application fee is approximately 56k and not 700k
it's better and safer to go through the stress of application yourself.

Get a student copy of your transcript. With that you dont need to be paying your school to send your transcript to any school. When any school requires your official transcriot, you notarize the student copy and send to them.

Actually, the majority of schools will not accept a notarized student copy as an official transcript. They will require the applicant to let their school mail it directly to them in a sealed envelope with a university stamp on it.

Congrats bro!

Seems police report is no longer required as the space to upload it online is no longer available.

I believe in online applications as you would know what’s required and not add irrelevant documents.

I strongly recommend people applying through paper route to create a profile online to know the required documents. Too much documents may increase processing time and it might depict desperation.

Congrats once again.

Someone was recently approved on this trend with a sponsor that is not related. Let him write a letter of support emphasising why he wants to sponsor you. make your tuition payment and collect your living expenses in your personal account. make sure you attach evidences of this transaction. The person must have enough funds to take care of his dependents and himself. you should be fine.
