Hi Omoarukheo,

In your SOP, did you explain why Canada instead of the US or Uk where you have valid visas and have visited before?

Goingforward.

I actually didnt do that, i guess the issue came from my SOP

Did you write GRE or Gmat to get this admission?

Hello, i did not, the school did not ask for it
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 14 by Asapant: 12:38pm On Jun 02, 2018
I see.. Seems your SOP wasn't well detailed enough and not convincing .
"purpose of visit arose from here" i think the V.O feels why didn't you apply to schs in Uk, State or Nigeria. Why Canny which you haven't been to ?

In your next SOP, you need to convince the V.O well concerning reasons and benefits for studying abroad and why you decided to choose Canny.

How master degree will be of great benefit to you in Nigeria.

Omoarukheo,

I hate when I see people using the bold to address common mistakes made by themselves. Yes! I personally reviewed your SOP as at March 15th 2018. I told you that your SOP wasn't convincing at first stance and that you're likely to be refused based on reasons stated on the attached email while vetting your SOP and now it has come to pass your application has been refused with same reasons I told you. I remember telling you to resend me this SOP of yours again the second time after correcting some of the mistakes you made, I waited for your SOP, you felt so reluctant and didn't send the letter again neither did you make any amendments to them and now you came ranting here that your SOP was vetted by a guru!.

Please and please it's high time everyone take the responsibility of their applications and stop putting blames on anyone.


Attachment as at March 15th


Hello Frank,

I feel you're being unduly defensive. It doesn't appear to me that the lady is blaming anyone. Yes you tried your best in helping her with her SOP and I trust she appreciated that. However, I don't see the point of your condescending tone or choice of words. She's clearly devastated she doesn't need this attitude from anyone. You're a great guy, you've been really helpful here; let's stick with that narrative.

Hi Guys!!! Another hopeful Hopeful here. TRV fall on us!

Then I will advise you to apply for MSc instead of PGD, though your undergraduate grade is not great but you can make up with your 13 years experience. Also most schools focus on your final 2 semesters in school(BSc).
Still search for schools that will offer you masters(trust me you will find some) cos with your level of experience I think the vo won't buy the idea of you going for PGD.
Final two semesters is above 3.0 can I have your email address so u can guide me on schools to apply to thanks

I guess you meant to say last 2yrs? No school will consider last 2semesters alone but consider last 2yrs of a 4yrs program and last 3yrs of a 5yrs program.

Mr Knowitall Visa Officer. I have been so quiet on this thread but I have to reply this. This is the most proud, condescending and annoying reply I have seen here. There's really no known formular for this visa thing. We have seen ppl put up airtight applications but still were denied. We have seen those who didn't even submit Sop or some other documents and were approved. This thread is for sharing ideas and encouragement. The lady was probably devastated. That kind of crass reply is abhorrent, biko. You're not God and you don't know it all.
Lastly, I see people here asking others for help with writing sop. You are the only one who can write your own sop, because you understand your situation/condition. If at this stage of life, you can't write an sop for yourself in your own words, then you don't deserve a graduate degree. it's okay to ask for guidance though. My 2 cents

Sir, if your last 2 or 3yrs is above average, send your TRANSCRIPT not only your Certificate to them, alongside your CV, with a well detailed Personal Statement.

Although I don't have list of schools that can take that GRADE, but I know less competitive schools like MUN, PEI may work.

Let your Personal Statement and CV explains you better, list all your publications (if any), convince the admission committee. They check more than grade to granting Graduate admission.


N.B: If none of those schools is ready to take you for a direct M.Sc, please go ahead for PGD.. Argue your point in your SOP. Your grade can't be a barrier to your Academic excellence.

Best wishes.

mightyola,

It will be best you discuss the reasons to why going for a PGC is very important to you at this stage in life, instead of disclosing the poor CGPA during your undergraduate studies. You may start by saying that a PGC specializes more on hands on vocational trainings and practical training which is very essential in learning more about the complexity of your chosen course of study, whilst a Master’s degree will only expose you to the theoretical knowledge which can’t equip you with the necessary acquaintance needed for a successful career back home. Hence, your choice for PGC rather than a masters degree. Relate more ideas on this and you will be fine.

All the best!

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 14 by Asapant: 4:14pm On Jun 02, 2018
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.

chuksiyk31,

For sure!, You can get an admission without hassles! But there are low and high tendency of you getting a visa approval for a Bsc at the age of 27. This can only be achieved once you can account for your study gaps, what have you been up and doing since you last left high school? Have you acquired any relevant training certificate while away from school? You also need to convince the visa officer to why you haven't acquired a Bsc certifcation till this time and reasons why you choose Canada rather than Nigeria to complete your chosen course of study. Present your case in a reasonable manner on a rational letter of explanation and your visa application will scale through!

All the best!

LOL @Yuyukoko,

Your post is very funny. I have put my application together and at the verge of submitting but , I am very nervous most especially seeing the rate of refusals here and there so i can feel your pain. embarassed

Been also praying about my application even before submission smiley.

I have learned that the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, only to who God show's mercy.

Put together your docs but most importantly back it up with plenty prayers.

I am gathering momentum to submit this week. cool

It will end in praise.

goingforward.

I'm actually confused. Considering I lived in UK for more than 6months, would I need to apply for a medical report/ police certificate from there to attach to my application?
For a married person too, is spouse's birth certificate okay as hometie ? My siblings,they don't even trust themselves to be in Nigeria by next week if can.Using them as hometie may be a joke.
Who cares about a joke if it will improve my application anyways
