95seun:

Thanks for your suggestions.
My GCMS note wasn’t straight forward. Similar generic reason, the VO that handled my application didn’t explain. He/she just wrote “ PA has limited travel , limited economic/family ties. “based on the information provided not satisfied that PA is a genuine student with sufficient ties to compel their departure”. Whereas, my refusal letter contains only purpose of visit and family ties.

And this my second MSC thesis program is fully funded.

I was previously denied based on purpose of visit, and this was because I didn’t explain the lack of progression between my previous course and my intended course. Your GCMS note would shed more light on your case but if I were to guess I would think it’s a similar reason.

In order to address the reason for your previous denial you need to explain the change in program in a way that should not complicate issues because it should show your circumstance has changed. The fact that you chose a logical progression MSc after Bsc and a health science subject Pharmacology should help your case if explained convincingly.

As per your previous choice, you could say you chose it because certain elements of the course appealed to you but after the refusal you discovered the pharmacology program and realized it complements / is a progression to your previous degree. There are numerous ways you could spin it.

In your LOE you should try to explain that since you were denied, you reapplied to a program that shares similar foundations / courses with your previous course and also shows progression and how it benefits you and how you intend to apply that knowledge in Nigeria (that whole spiel). I’m sure you would have already gone into details in your SOP on why you chose Pharmacology.

I think one would have to read your GCMS note and LOE in order to say/know for certain how you should go about explaining the change in course but I think you should definitely talk about it in your LOE.

Good day people. Please how possible is it to add a non-family member in your application? I have an 8 month old baby and would love to travel with a Nanny. My step mum (my Dad’s wife) would have been my best bet. But they were not legally married so there’s no marriage certificate. Has anyone ever succeeded in applying for a Nanny while submitting their TRV? Abeg make una no laugh me o. Childcare cost in obodo oyibo no be here!

chibertha:
If your mum has passed then you can mention her as your mum in your application.
Then get your TRV first when you get there you apply for parents super Visa for her.
That is what I would do
But open to more and better opinion

I have a first degree in electrical engineering since 2014, after which I went for nysc the following year 2015. Three years on since, I have been in the UAE working but in quite unrelated field to which I studied. I, in two attempts, couldn't get a masters admission in Canadian university with CGPA 3.4
Now I have admission in energy management for 1year graduate certificate,
admission in electrical engineering control system for 3year advanced diploma,
a fresh bachelors degree admission in Environmental engineering,
and admission for a 2 year advanced diploma fast tract in energy system engineering. All admissions for Fall 2019.
Please, good people, I need advice on which one to follow for best study permit/visa chance considering my odd job and study gap. I want to apply from UAE. I got no wife, kid or business firm and am self sponsored. My budget can comfortably take the 1year and two year programs.

My wife applied for study visa via paper route, the course she applied for is not in line with her education background. but she has work experience in it. the day she went to drop her application. we forgot the work reference letter at home. [b]The main issue is questionnaire where you are asked whether you have educational or work experience for the course you are applying for and submit a reference letter in regards to work experience? she ticked No because she had no evidence to back her. My question is can she send an email to VAC requesting to add the work reference letter?

ATTENTION HOUSE GURUS

If you were rejected based on financial reasons only then tackling that shouldn't be difficult. I also dont think you needed to change program. But as long as there Is a reasonable progression in your studies and work experience then you are good to go. I'll also suggest the following:
1. Get a sponsor, no VO will believe you can sponsor yourself as a student in Sweden.

2. If you have a registered company or parent company (Lets say a registered engineering company) then you can use this in your favour and state in your sop you wanna bring back innovative ideas to your company/parent company.

3. Make sure you pay tuition deposit or if possible a full tuition deposit for a whole semester.

4. If you are capable I will advise you contact banks in canada and get a GIC (Guaranteed Investment certificate) to pay your living expenses for a year that way you've cleared the VO's doubt about financial capabilities.

5. You have no issues with travel history so you are good to go.

6. You need a detailed SOP and you need to stay a clear and passionate reason why you need to go over to canada for the program rather than sweden or even in Nigeria. You can state the breakthrough in welding techniques in Canada lead you to the choice, a high demand of highly skilled welders in Nigeria etc.

7. Don't forget to get a sponsor letter and 2-3 property documents.

All the best......

Qudkom:


Sorry but you can only submit additional documents only when CIC requests them. Besides, you already ticked "No" which can be a little confusing on the part of the VO. I wish you all the best but if she's applying for a program that doesn't correlate with her previous degree/program coupled with you ticking "No" for work experience then that could be an issue.

Hello fam, please, how can one make payment for PTE exams. I try using a master card to make payment, its not working, saying payment decline. I dont know if am doing the right thing. Please gurus in the house, tell me any other alternative to make pay for the exam. Its urgent.
Thank you.

Qudkom:


Hello, all the programs listed show reasonable progression. My advice for you will be:

1. If you have enough funds with you get a GIC (Guaranteed investment certificate) from one of the Canadian banks to pay in your living expenses for 12months.
2. I will advice you go for the 2-year Advanced diploma program.
3. Pay your tuition deposit for a semester.
4. Write a convincing SOP.
5. Lastly, you didn't mention your current job and work experience.
6. Study gap doesn't mean anything(You definitely haven't been idle this past years). Regarding the self sponsor I'll advice you get a co-sponsor.

P.s: what's the unrelated field you've been working?

Hello good day house can í get job directly from Nigeria to work at canada í am an HNd holder but dont even no how to start getting job there

JustMellow:


Your points are always valid but in addition to the bolded, it can be done whether or not CIC request for it. "Theoretically," on the CIC website, your facts sticks and "practically," my assertion sticks. its just a contribution.

Respect!

Good day everyone, I wish to appreciate each and every one of you for your kind efforts in helping one another, more especially the monikers; austacus, justmellow, frankrobbn1, makano, 042viber, and host of others.

My study permit for post secondary diploma in environmental science at a college was refused dec 25th based on purpose of visit and family ties. I graduated with a sharp 2.1 in microbiology (4.21/ 5.0). On January 4th i applied for a masters program in pharmacology at University of Manitoba and I have been accepted .

Currently am done with my SOP , then while writing my LOE (addressing my refusal reason purpose of visit ), I became confused if am to give any reason(s) why I abandoned my previous post secondary program (Environmental science) for an entirely different MSC course on (Pharmacology).

Will trying to explain complicate issues for me? Or should I just focus on my current program without mentioning or bringing the previous program into the picture?
Please I need your kind opinions..
Thanks.

Qudkom:
@Cappymayor @chibertha @yacha77. You are right about the GIC. It is meant for some designated countries like india. The reason I recommended it was because I thought since you guys have temporary residence status in other countries (Sweden UAE) I thought it could be applied. On the contrary you can set aside the living expense in a savings/fixed deposit if you have the means. I believe based on the fact that you want to sponsor yourself that will be a good wqy to proove your financial buoyancy. Dont forgot to also get a Co sponsor.

In addition, A GIC Certificate is matter of fact the best way to show your financial capability to sponsor yourself in Canada. Those Asian students are really fortunate no need for scanning heavy statement of accounts or property. Just pay 10kCAD into a GIC account in a bank in Canada and you will be entitled to 800CAD every month for 12 months. This serves as living expense. By the grace of God will get there one day.
