Congrats dear.

Thank you.

Uzee24:
We are reviewing if you meet eligiblity requirement.

How long has your application been at this "we are reviewing your eligibility" phase?

Still profile 7th week

Phocusjosh:
It's not vague, just that you could not convince the VO enough the need to study your intended course of study at University of Waterloo. Why do you wish to study in Canada in the program for which you have been accepted?, What is your overall educational goal and overall career goal?, What have you been doing (by way of employment/professional development) since the completion of your undergraduate studies and now?, How will this program enhance your employment opportunities in your country of residence/citizenship? (i.e. how will your skill be valuable to the Nigerian market?), i.e. briefly explain the impact of your course on your future career and your home country
6. Why are you not pursuing a similar program in your country of residence?

The key reason for writing an SOP is to demonstrate to the embassy that your purpose of visiting Canada is genuine, and that you will come back to Nigeria after your studies. It has to be very persuasive and convincing. Btw, the VO knows that you might not come back to Naija... they are not idiots... what they need to be convinced about is that you would freely come back to Nigeria if you cannot legally stay in Canada anymore.

To convince the VO (visa officer):
1. you will need to be specific about what it is your Canada education would help you do once you come back to Naija. Just saying that you will come back home not convincing
2. you need to be specific about what it is about that program or its curriculum that would help you achieve your stated goals
3. you need to be specific about what it is you have done that makes you a credible applicant

Basically, you need to emphasize on what you have done and exactly what you will do when you return to Nigeria (be very clear and unambiguous about this).

Share your profile for other guru(s) to help out.

All the best in your next application.

Useful information.

Lagos2canna:
Is your 2.2 between 3.1 to 3.4 and what course are you applying for.

Hi Bro,

My case is quite similar to Horlamidei's for which you made this response, except that i made a strong 2.2 (3.4)

What do you think?

reichwolf:
Hello guys, I just recently submitted my online Canada student visa application. I thank you all for the multiple advices & the SOP reviews.
I lay the decision in the hands of the Almighty God.
Hope to share my testimony soon.

God will perfect all that concerns us

Hello guru's in the house, I applied for study visa on 22 June via paper route and later linked my account online. I received an email today stating that I have an update. I checked my account and the message was that "you do not meet the eligibility requirement", my application has been rejected without them being specific.
My question is:
Will CIC give me a specific reason for the rejection in the near future?
My program is starting on 5th sept. 2018 at the University of Victoria. I have registered for courses orientation. What do I do?

Congrats, I am next to testify

AKFTK:
TRV Approved after 10weeks.

AlhaduliLlah.

I'd drop my details soon.

Sorry about the unfavourable outcome of your application. Check the last correspondence CIC sent to you online account, it ought to be there. I would advise you postpone your admission to next year as you cannot meet the September 5th resumption date when you reapply now. Also, you can apply for your GCMS note so that you can fix every grey area ticked by the VO and adequately prepare for your next application.
The Gurus will input their views.

I hope this helps.

Sorry for your refusal. Don't feel defeated, pick it up from where you stopped and re-fire but not until you know the reason(s) for your refusal. I believe when you go for your passport you will get a note with it stating the generic reason(s) for your refusal. For you to know in details why you were denied, then you will have to request for your GCSM note which will allow you to be able to fully address your refusal reason(s) in your next application. You can order for your note through this link https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do?lang=en

Thanks alot, I can't wait to see the reasons for the denial.
I have over 9 years working experience in the civil service. I submitted my letters of employment, promotions, pension statement, bank statements, pay slips, study leave letter, C of O. Those should have served as home ties.
For proof of funds, my sponsor and I have about 27,000 CAD. The school fees for the first year is 6000 CAD+.
It is my first time travelling outside the country though.
After I see the notes, I will decide on what to do.
