Hello fellows, Please i will appreciate if anyone help me with this issue. If one is denied visa in one of the EU/Schengen countries (not UK), is it necessary revealing it in the Canadian Study visa application? I mean..., do Canadian immigration crosscheck/share bio information with EU/Schengen countries?

Be honest! What's the point of hiding it. and I believe they do

Pls house help me out this is my second refusal gcms note what are the next step for me to take so I won't get refuse for the 3rd time again

CC

@MICHV1,@Austinpee4,@Nogen,@jnyuwa02,
@frankrobbn1 help me out

Cherryola,

On behalf of this great forum we say we are deeply sorry for the outcome of your application.

To summarize it all your GCMS Note is pointing at all the refusal grounds for a study permit application namely:
1-) Insufficient Funds
2-) Purpose of visit
3-) Home ties
4-) Personal asset and financial status
5-) Current employment situation
6-) Limited employment prospects in your country of residence.

Firstly, i'll start by saying that your SOP was poorly written, no atom of convincing facts/statments and your application was not well packaged.

You as a person have failed to convince the visa officer that you're a genuine student and the motivation to study in Canada is genuine. You also failed in convincing them that the benefit of undertaking such program in canada is beneficial to you and to your country at large.

Secondly, Who was your sponsor and how did you show proof of relationship with him/her, did you add relevant documents to show that your sponsor is related to you. Like Marriage certificates, birth certificates and prove of previous financial support like payment of tuition fees in the past or present, bank to bank transfer in the past b/w you and your sponsor to prove that he has been your guardian

Thirdly, Was there any financial commitment from your sponsor towards financing your education in Canada? Did your sponsor pay full tuition and transfered living expenses to your personal/dorm account? Having that he is a third party sponsor and a Visa officer will definitely like to see commitment from him

Fourthly, Your sponsor source of income is in question here. Did you add relevant documents to evident his source of income... If he is business incline.... Like.... CAC certificate, article of association and memorandum, treasury bills, shares certificates, landed properties. If he is gainfully employed... Did you add documents like employment letters, promotion letters, increment letters, appointment letters etc...

Fifth, The employment you declared does not constitute a tie to your home country.... What is the duration of your course matters alot here?. Traveling to Canada for 2 years and above program and presenting a job offer is like shooting a gun at your leg, because no visa officer will believe that a company will leave a space for you till you return. Please if you added any job offer do away with it in your next application.

Sixth, Your employment history is weak: When did you start working matters alot here? Did you truly work for this company? Did you add prove of employment, like employment letters, payslips, CV's, introductory letters etc....

Seventh, You failed to satisfy the visa officer that the chances of getting a job when you loose it/travel to Canada is high and the benefit of undertaking such program in Canada will have a significant prospects to compel your return to Nigeria.

8th, Your family ties, professional ties and otherwise are in question too. Did you show more interest in coming home after your studies? Did you add your siblings or family birth certificates? How did you address your family ties on your SOP matters alot

9th, Limited assest/property is weak. Did you add documents like landed properties, business investments, shares certificates in your name that can compel your return to Nigeria ?.

The bolded words are the solutions to your GCMS Note.

Lastly, Explore to the link below, you will find useful information regarding your refusal grounds.

Cherryola , I hope you find this information helpful. If not understood, feel free to ask questions.

Good day ladies and gentlemen in the house,

Please am in need of some clearification and what to takle while re-applying.

My brother is the sponsor to the wife that submitted her file and just exactly one month they mailed her to come collect her passport.

Reasons for rejection are below.

X Pursuant to Section 219 of the immigration and refugee protection regulation,I am not satisfied that you:

X have sufficient and available financial resources,without working in canada,to pay the tuition fees for the course or program of studies that you intend to pursue

X have sufficient and available financial resources,without working in Canada,to maintain yourself and any family members who are accompanying you during your proposed period of study.

X have sufficient and available financial resources,without working in canada,to pay the cost of transporting yourself and the family members who are accompanying you to and from canada.


Gurus the point here is she is the only one going and not with any member as they stated.

The husband works in a bank with income of 4.5m anually.But presented a Treasury bills certificate worth over 12m and a fixed deposit certificate of 2.5m in the wife name.

They had earlier paid cad2,300 out of cad15,500 of the tuition fees for the one year program that is all.

Can they pick up another reason after they must have re-apply as they were scared they may pick travel history as she has not traveled before,and they have two kids already.

The gurus i please expect your advice and way to follow up on this regard.
This is a good forum i must say.

Biakwa,

Pay up the applicant full tuition fees and transfer living expenses into the applicant domicilary account with this you have fully convinced the visa officer that her intent is strictly for studies.

And yes they might pick another reason after tackling insufficient funds, just make sure you put up an upright application. Don't be scared the applicant can't be refused for just TRAVEL HISTORY it's not done. Endeavour to add the Treasury bills certificate as stated. Her next application will be success.

All the best!

Wao @Frank
Thanks for the swift respond,i really appreciate.

The arrangement now is to pay all the tuition fee for one year as advised.

My question now is the leaving expenses of about N3m, must it be in domiciliary account as this will paid into her personal account in Naira.Must she now go and open domiciliary account .Will it not raise an alert as it may be the first lodgment in the account. Can a Naira account be funded for this purpose in her name.

Expecting your response

2 years program. The school advised him to budget for 650 per course,He is to take 12 courses.He has credited the school account with 8,700cad.

He should get a co-sponsor if not what he has won't be enough. If he has paid his tuition fee already for first year it means he will have to provide funds for next this year and next year living expenses plus tuition fee for the second year (that will be around 29,000cad = #9mil ), so let him try and get a co-sponsor to assist him.
The breakdown of the $29k is as follows: first year living expenses = $10k, Second year living expenses = $10k, second year tuition fee = $8.7k

iRealZeal:
Submitted application on Thursday 7th December 2017, paper route. Did Medical on 29th January 2018. Applying for Student visa.

Don't worry, just be prayerful and it will be granted. You shouldn't mail cic except it has exceeded the processing time.

Pls can a company sponsor one ....a company that's not any of the oil magnets in Nigeria. The company have me every document needed.....they have sponsored pple to UK n other countries but not Canada. The account balance is heavy both in naira n dollars.

Canada dia wahala plenty......Pls urgent reply. I want to submit my application before d end of this week at Lagos.

It is not about how loaded or heavy the account is but how willing they are to show commitment by paying the tuition fee and the living expenses into your personal account. If they can do that you are good to go but if not please don't waste your time

annaliese88:
Hello House,

I would be grateful if I can have my questions answered.

I have all my funds in fixed deposit. Most of the deposits were made like 6months ago and a few were made like a month and 3 months ago. My question is; Do I have to submit my FD in a statement of account format and explain how I came about all the deposits from last 6months, or should I just submit the FD investment certificate which would just state the total amount I have in the account?

Secondly, I am not very clear about the difference between referring to someone as a sponsor or just saying what they gave you is a gift deed, in the instance where they only gave you some amount of money into your account and wont be giving you any other funds.

I would appreciate some responses. I was rejected last year and my gcms note states that I made lumpsum deposits of unknown origin. So I am being very careful with my prove of finances this time

First, you will have to get a letter from your bank stating the fixed funds can be accessed by you once it's time for your studies. The aim is not just to have funds but to have access to the said funds.
Secondly, if someone gives you money (large sum) towards your education it should be well explained in your sop, if the person will be doing it all through your program then you should also state it in your sop... the person also should write a letter of support stating he/she gave you the said amount as a way of supporting your studies.
If the said "lump sum" had been well explained by you and the giver you wouldn't have had issues there. Imagine an account that receives 100k/month for 1year and suddenly 1million enters that account without you explaining it? That's what the vo felt when he/she saw the amount(without any meaningful explanation).

Biakwa,

The living expenses can be in her personal naira account too. Let the said Sponspor complete a bank to bank transfer from the sponsor account to the applicant account. She should also include this in her letter of intent in the section where she explained about funds - that as a matter of fact her sponspor have paid full tuition and transferred her living expenses into her personal account. Also let the sponsor explain the same in their letter of sponsorship/support. They both should quote the date of the transcation and attach receipts of the transcation if possible. This is also good.

The essence of opening a dorm account and funding it, is just to clarify the visa officer that funds are readily available in convertible currency and can be easily accessible by the applicant and exportable to Canada.
So, funding a dorm account won't raise issues, they both need to explain the origin of the money that's all. If the sponsor writes he was the one that deposited funds into applicant dorm account it won't raise issues.

So it's left for you to decide which best suit you. The both are good!

All the best!

The breakdown of the $29k is as follows: first year living expenses = $10k, Second year living expenses = $10k, second year tuition fee = $8.7k

The whole for the two years program is 7,800cad but he has transferred 8,700cad to the school. The fund can over the whole program excluding feeding, accommodation text book e.t.c.

Thank you so much for responding. Is the letter the only thing required of the person or does he have to submit his bank statement too? Considering the sponsorship is only a one time payment which he has already transferred into my account?


By the way, in my last application I backed up every lumpsum with notarized letters and statements of account, every single document. I am convinced they didnt check them.

Good day house,I just want to congratulate everyone here,people expecting there TRV,and people who have already gotten.I believe nothing good comes easy in this world my brother,but just to chip in something,I kinda have this believe that getting a TRV for masters and PHD is very difficult because I have 4 friends that applied for undergraduate, didn't pay any tuition,I think two went with there uncles SOA,no SOP,no ties,and they were all granted within a month.What am I saying,if your applying for masters,you need to ready to work hard,get the right documents and pray also,there are nice places where you can do your masters too...like Australia,USA,UK,Germany,etc,along as you have the cash,not withstanding,continue thriving,I believe God will make a way.

Good evening everyone,
I want to use this medium to everyone who has rendered a helping hand to all the people seeking TRV,may God continue to bless you and make your paths pure!
I will be applying for my Study permit soon but I am a little bit confused about paper route online,I read somewhere here that if you do online you will be limited to the nos of docs you can upload but if I do paper route how do I initiate it and do I need to travel to their office(Note I currently resides in Uyo,Akwa ibom)
Thank you very much for answering my questions..
Cc @frankrobbn1

Please I am confused, how can I get an affidavit of financial support form?

Yes he needs to include his statement of account and a letter of support stating the amount and why he is doing it.

If the amount he has in his account will cover his living expenses for the two years and have extra then he can sponsor himself

Barryston, Good to hear from you again.

To the bolded it's true, using online route the number of documents you want to upload is limited but paper route reverse is the case, you can submit as much documents you wish. And yes If you plan using paper route you need to submit your application at the VFS office Lagos or Abuja. Meanwhile, if you plan using online route you need to complete your application anywhere at your convenience, you don't need to go to VFS office until you are called to complete biometrics.

Please find the below breakdown, I hope this will help you to make a decision that will best suit your situation.

BREAK DOWN BETWEEN ONLINE ROUTE AND PAPER ROUTE

1-)The online route no one will correct your mistakes like it is done on paper route where VFS workers will make sure your papers are complete and are arranged accordingly before submission.

2-) If you have scanners and a desktop/system close by, online route is okay. But mind u, u need to compress your documents before you upload them and you will need to complete payment with your credit card, but the paper route you are to pay at the counter.

3-)The online route, after submission you will get notification a day or 2 days depending at times 1week to proceed for your biometrics. While the paper route, you will complete everything that very day at the VFS office, then wait for the outcome of your application.

4-) Finally, Online route is more expensive (68K-70K) compared to paper route (55-57K)

So it's left for you to decide which best suit you. But be guided that none of them has added advantage to your TRV application.

All the best!

Good evening everyone, please I just gained admission to Univ of Saskatchewan for LLM..and I dont know where to start,how to have a profile on CIC or whether to do paper route or online.
And also ive been denied US visa before in 2015. I am scared this might affect the decision of the VO

LLM, how did that happen? Did you write LSAT? I'm asking because i'm also a Lawyer and I'm really surprised.

[quote author=cindelinc post=65526873]Hello guys,

Pls I have a unique situation,
I recently got a letter of acceptance to a 2yr diploma program(co-op)in project mgt to resume this Oct 2018 in canada. I have an B.eng with 1 yr work experience in logistics.
My challenge for visa application is the financial statement. My dad is actually the sponsor but he works as a contractor for construction project. His bank statement is quite spiky because he doesn't do bank loan, he only uses his savings to do projects.
I have paid for the ist term fees already and the balance for tuition will be in my dom account before month end. I want to use my dad's cousin who works with the UN and a US international organization as a sponsor to cover living cost because he has a better financial record.
Please what is the best course of action to take ?

Please, Which school granted the admission?
