I can't tell. Mine was a 6year hiatus and I got approved ...wifey got WP as well. I guess many other things are involved e.g. does your intended study align with your career trajectory?

Public administration and community development ..

When I was asked why I joined to study that course my response was

''Would love to impact and bring development to my community the little way I can. Taking this course will help me go a long way in bringing development to my environment and community''"
Something like that

Best wishes brother. May God open your way as you have helped touch many lives here positively. Your last day to resume is 19th? Hope you did upfront medicals.

Thanks for the selfless service here.

Yes Sir, 19th. Everything is ready just need a nod from VO.

Non-payment of tuition is not a criteria for refusing Visa. As we have seen so many applicants here getting their Visa without paying a dime. But the choice is Urs tho. But it is very possible getting ur Visa without paying for school fees. All what the VO need is for you to convince him or her that you will be coming back to ur country after ur studies. Good luck

Good evening Team,

Please can application be refused/ denied as a result of non payment of tuition deposit. Though no specific time was given for payment.

Can one proceed with the application and pay the tuition deposit later.

Hello everyone, I came across this forum late I was denied a study permit in July. I plan on changing my university. Please is it possible to apply for another study permit with a different school acceptance letter?

Cherryola:
@ jnyuwa02 no respond yet

Sorry I will respond soon. Been gone all day in the bush hiking and so tired. Good night!

Very Possible. But you will need to explain why u changed school in ur next application tho, cos they already have(the database of ur previous application) details and records of ur previous application. So they will definitely knw changes made. SO they wont see you changing school as being desperate. So u need to explain and convince them why the change of school. Good luck

Good day to the Gurus in the house and distinguished Nairalanders.

My Study permit application was refused for the second time. I was initially refused in London on the ground of purpose of visit. I put up a strong SOP to convince the VO why I would return to Nigeria after my studies. Provided evidence of personal investments, bequeathed building from my late Father, included my admission letter which stated that payment of school fee can only be done after receiving study permit and other strong points which I did not include in my first application, but after notifying IRCC of changes in my status that my wife put to bed and stated that I have made adequate provisions for their up keep I was slapped with a refusal by nairobi in two hours after sending the message. This time nairobi stated four reasons for refusal even though I took my time to prepare a very strong SOP. I do not know whether I did wrong by informing IRCC of changes in status cos I know it is mandatory to reveal such changes to IRCC so as to update your profile. I AM NOT GIVING UP YET.

Our case is similar. Nairobi denied me 30 mins after I sent them my letter of explanation through web form. I doubt if they even went through it

Please regarding family ties in Canada and country of resindence. I have an aunt in Canada and I stated it in my second application. She’s a citizen in Canada. Could that be the reason why they denied me stating family ties in Canada also? Because I included all my siblings documents here in Nigeria to serve as strong home ties. In my third application, I didn’t state I have a relative in Canada. Considering the fact that they already have the information in their system, what do I do to address the issue of family ties in Canada?. I need suggestions please . Thanks

Philomena15:
Please can someone help me

I just got my CAQ and I am so skeptical about applying for visa. I have an admission at Concordia university for this sept and there's no winter semester for that program. Is it too late to apply for visa owing to the fact that the processing time is now 10weeks?

Also I have checked for universities and colleges for PGD in biochemistry or anything related but I can't seem to find any. I can't really go for masters cos I graduated with HND. Please anyone that has info on anything related to biochemistry PGD should pls help, let me reapply for winter semester. I have searched and searched. What about an advanced diploma what are my chances? I'm also checking my age, I'm 27

Thanks

To get your admission, please did you get academic referees. Also, did your referees use your school’s email?

Frankrobbn1:


Let's not dwell by our assumptions. You need to order your gcms note quickly. I strongly don't feel your wife pregnancy state will be a key factor to your visa refusal.

In your refused application, did you in anyway state that she was pregnant? and it appears that you're self sponsored, is your wife also accompanying you to Canada? Give answers to this.

I didn't disclose her pregnancy in my SOP but I clearly stated that I am married and even attached our marriage certificate. My brother is my only sponsor but i provided evidential document of bequeathed property and stated that my wife would be the one collecting rents from my tenants to fend for herself and our child in Nigeria while am studying in Canada. I have no company and I clearly stated this in my SOP. Thanks for the advise brother. I will apply for GCMS note.

Carlz1:


Our case is similar. Nairobi denied me immediately I notified them about a document I didn’t add lol

Which document was that?

Lagos2canna:

Which document was that?

Letter of explanation although I wrote an sop but I didn’t write a letter of explanation to address previous refusal

Carlz1:

Well I feel this rejection after sending cic mail is common with paper route, has your eligibility started before the delay mail came?
Is the v.o still in charge of updating applicants profile that instead of updating your profile with the document you sent, they decided to update it with delay mail. These guys are funny sometimes or is it that anybody that attends to application from background check to final decision is a v.o?

I was about giving up and loosing hope till got access this page.


Good work.

Pls i came out with a second class lower. 3.4

Pls how true is this

The agency i paid said i can't apply for masters, either professional course or college


Now he is saying i have to write IELTS.


Pls are all these true?


Again, howmuch is ielts

Most universities I have seen accept first class and second class upper into masters programs. But relevant work experience + research publications, especially in a professor's research area can be an edge for a second class lower graduate. Don't forget you are competing with Indian and Asian geeks. Then about IELTS, you can find out the cost from British Council website.

Good day Frank,

I don't know if it only applies to people that are sending additional documents to CIC that Nairobi is slamming like this or just because one just sent them mail.. Now the question is how can one actually track were his or her application is being processed or one should just conclude that all paperwork goes to Nairobi.. Why am saying is I have sent up-to 3 mails to CIC offices Accra, London, and Lagos, I have not had any comments cojent from them online application just getting autoresponse, what do you advise 14weeks now..... How will one know were his application is stocked..

Since 7th of August eligibility start and went back to processing on the 8th till now..

Please do justice as usual..

Thanks so much. Pls what is the way forward now? He made mention of college

Guys please I need an alternative but reliable means to pay my school fees at University of Ottawa. The school recommend using Western Union Business Solution but their charges are just outrageous.

Good Morning House,

A friend application was refused and he seek for refund of tuition deposit which was given to him.

He's now to reapply without paying any deposit.

Hope he's good to go

Please let us Cancel all preconceived notions on this thread that you cannot get into a masters program with a second class lower (2:2). I got admission into an MBA program with my 2:2 and even less than 2 years work experience. Don't let agents deceive you so they can take the easy route.

jnyuwa02:


Go to your nearest Road Safety office with two passport photograph pictures and some money and apply for it.

Is it valid in CAD? , I know it has only a year validity.

Seems I stumbled across someone saying only license done with biometrics can be used in CAD
ANYONE WITH INFO SHOULD SHED MORE LIGHT

Your CGPA is high..... Or did you want to type 2.4? I believe you can get admission. They also look at your last 2 years.

Nothing wrong in writing a few schools to confirm. I believe they will ask you to forward your Academic Transcripts for further processing.

I've not needed IELTS for Canada. Australia needed it. It is required for Ireland Visa after admission.

Please look up the schools requirements yourself on their website. I believe some of them will encourage you to apply even if you do not meet the requirement. Besides meeting all the requirements does not guarantee admission as well. Some schools may offer you a pathway which is also an achievement as you are better of landing on the moon having aimed for the stars.

I am not an authority here but encourage you to make inquiries yourself and along the way like with all learnings you will begin to see how easy it can be. Having graduated from the University, you have been equipped enough to perform such simple tasks. Test the waters yourself if you can before approaching agents if it gets too complicated for you.

Lastly, I think you will find this topic and this forum a useful resource as some of us applied blindly only to put forth a wrong foot which messed things up for us pretty much along the way. Wished I had been aware of this forum before my first application.

Google is also a friend. If you have to approach an agent, it is good to have a discussion with them from an informed angle. They will reduce the level of distortion of facts when they know you are not too ignorant or have the capacity to verify their assertions.

I suspect some agents direct students to schools that might have contracted them perhaps for a fee per head upon receipt of non refundable deposit. It's like encouraging your customers to pick a brand of product which gives the seller higher margin.

Lastly, I am just guessing per the previous paragraph, so quote me not! Open your eyes, pick up your keyboard, sharpen your typing fingers, dip your pen in ink and, believe!

Thanks so much for the encouragement
Thanks for making my day

Wow! this doesn't look good at all.

its not that bad actually.
from 2017's 600,000 refusals only 106,867 were student TRVs .
even the overall rate is impressive. 494,133/2.3 million applicants refusals . that's a huge chance of being approved if you ask me.
plus
" Refusal rates were highest for applicants from
Africa and Middle East, with 75 per cent of
applications from Somalia, Yemen, Syria and
Afghanistan being rejected in the last two years."

I just did a search and can see 3.0 required in last 2 years of studies per the screenshot (Perhaps 3.0 by their own grading though). Follow the link above to read all the other requirements.

You can send mail to Faculties of Graduate Studies of different Schools. Kindly check the program available and tuition fees if you are concerned about fees before proceeding with the mail. You may also be lucky to get some form of financial relief if you ask.

I'd encourage folks to have their transcripts assessed by WES of Canada or ICAS of Canada for reusability in which case your assessed transcript can be sent to any Institution via fax or mail after receiving instruction from you for a fee of a few dollars. This is much more convenient and cost effective than going back to your school in Naija to request for transcript to be sent to different schools in Canada whenever the school's request.

Please note that there is WES of Canada and WES of USA when registering. In this case, register on WES of Canada.

https://www.wes.org

On the drop down menu in mobile view, select Canada in the first list. The default selection may be USA.

People (though I know this question may be peripheral) but can anyone tell me how long it takes for someone to be called to do his biometrics after submission.

SirVal94:
Keep mailing professors. You only need one to reply and possibly fund you. The composition of your mail is also important. These professors hardly have time to read long mails. Your mail has to be concise. You may also add your research publications/conference papers as an attachment, if you have any.

The point is how different is your letter of introduction different from other applicants? Professors receive loads of emails from prospective students on weekly basis, and the most difficult challenge for them, in my opinion, is identifying the right student. So you have to get it right from the first mail you send. Your hustle go pay one day.

Please can I pm you? If its possible for you to just take a look at the email for any corrections. Please and please, I would really appreciate it.
