Good morning house. please how much I’m I expected to take along with me when going to Canada, I’m I expected to have my living expenses cash or I can just show them statement of accounts.if yes, can the statement of accounts carried the date of when I applied for visa or I’ll have to order for an updated one.
If statement of accounts is allowed for proof of funds, then how much should I take with me to show at the checkpoint.

Thanks a lot @frankrobbn1

I have drafted a detail new SoP but pls I still need someone to help me review it.

My new proposed application details is as follow
Business

Frankrobbn1:
I regret to hear your study visa was rejected.

- After careful review of your application, the GCMS Note and supporting documents presented by you. I deduced that you didn't adequately explain in a succinct and convincing way as possible in your SOP that you're well-established in Nigeria that your course of studies would be a reasonable expense, which prompted the vague and poorly documented study plan.

- You have also failed to convince the visa officer that your economic ties (registered business) far outweighs that of Canada.

- How were you able to explain your limited travel history? The aforementioned are vital criterions put forward by the visa officer that led to the refusal of your study permit.

Thus, Below are my advices for you in your next application with hope that the visa officer will consider your application to merit a study visa.

First, I will suggest that you put more effort in constructing a persuasive and concise SOP/LOE that will demonstrate that you're a bona-fide applicant and would depart upon the completion of your studies.

The SOP should extensively and convincingly explain the lucrativeness of such program (MBA) in your home country considering it's exorbitant tuition fees. If it is financially rewarding back here in Nigeria that can offest the cost of the program in Canada. The range of opportunities the program in Canada will bring to you as a person. What you intend to achieve in a short-term and long-term basis. Since you claim to have a registered and functioning business, you should explain that this business is of utmost importance to you, and going to career is solely to advance your career prospects so you could expand your business into a global brand. Also state the difference you could make when you return to your country e.g you being a business consultant in the long-term by providing critical business solutions to multinational companies and government as well as using your business for creation of wide range of employment opportunities for teeming youths in your home country etc...

Also attach proof of properties located in your country of residence preferably in your name(or parent's name that you're directly heir to). These assets could be land, house or a registered business etc..

Additionally, explain in your SOP that your immediate family members (aged parents, siblings, spouse and kids) is well off in Nigeria and aren't accompanying you to Canada. Go as far as mentioning the things you share in common with your siblings that would warrant your departure after duties.

If you have any financial obligations or moral responsibilities which falls on you as a leader in any of these organizations - military, community, church and family you should indicate that you will return home to continue active participation and attendance in meetings. Therefore, as a matter of urgency, it is expected of you to come back to Nigeria to occupy your position. (Following this, A letter from any of these bodies would help).

The above points are your unwavering commitments back home and for this reason when adequately explained in your SOP/LOE should be sufficient to satisfy the visa officer that your economic incentives of coming back to Nigeria far outweighs that of Canada as stipulated in your GCMS Note!


Travel history - is not a factual reason for a Canadian study visa refusal. Hence, you don't need to travel out from your home country before you can get your application approved. if you have not travelled before, you can simply explain to the Visa officer in your SOP that you don't like traveling or haven't thought of travelling abroad before. Hence, your reasons for wanting to travel abroad at this point in your life is to augment special worth to yourself and also because of how important this MBA program is to your career/business back home which would create lots of outstanding opportunities in your career and personal development Or you can say your busy work schedule doesn't allow you to travel.

I hope the above information sufficiently address the reason highlighted by the visa officer in your GCMS note, and will be able to guide you in attaining a successful reapplication.

Hi guys, is it compulsory to go for medicals without eating or it doesn't matter??

Don't starve yourself please. It's not compulsory neither is it necessary.

During my time I even took bean and yam at IOM. There is a woman selling bean outside.

You will starve ehn cause the whole process can take upto 5-6hrs or even more. I started mine 9:30am and finish 3:45pm. All the best

Hello.


Since everyone is bagging rejections, should i still waste my time in applying to schools in Canada?

It seems USA visa is even easier to get these days compared to Canada. I have been going through this thread for some months and out of let's say 30 people, 28 gets rejection.

Frankrobbn1:
Sorry to hear you're passing through this at the moment. My best suggestion is that you raise a CSE explaining your situation and the delayed biometrics Instructions letter (BIL) from their office.

CONTACT the Kenya (Nairobi) Immigration department via this email: nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca

The subject of the mail should bear URGENT, along side the applicant's FULL NAME, UCI NUMBER, APPLICATION NUMBER AND DATE OF BIRTH.

Also send your enquiry via THE NAIROBI WEB FORM.

All the best

Thank you so much

Pls what other documents should I attach Thanks a lot. I intend submitting my application on Thursday since class resumes January 6th

Your profile looks good to merit a study Visa. However, considering the fact that the visa officer's at the Canadian embassy are not custodian's of knowledge you need to accurately explain your study intent to Canada, how these properties/Assets will motivate your departure after studies. I feel you need to invest more exertion in your SOP as the previous rejected study plan wasn't able to give a straightforward reason as to why you would incur such huge cost for a program that is attainable here in Nigeria at a cheaper rate.

Every Application is unique and as such you shouldn't because of the recent high rejection rate doom yourself into secret misery by choosing not to pursue your precise goals. What works for Mr. A might not work for Mr. B as there is no blueprint that works for this VISA thingy. My best advice is you should go ahead and apply for an admission, once you've successfully being accepted, seek guidance here, gather your documents and file for your application and finally, hope for the best..

Good Morning Brethren,
Please how do it start re-application of my Canadian Student Visa after the 1st refusal?
Do I need to start all over again as a fresh application
or
Do I have a different route to follow on the Canadian Embassy website?
Great Grace Brethren as I anticipate our responses!!!

Thanks bro. I will apply but i don't have any home ties

Well, I took snacks and soft drinks during mine, that’s after I did my urine test.
U can eat but I’ll advice you do it after your urine test.
But I don’t think it really matters, you should be able to eat anytime.

You have to re-file/re-apply as a fresh application. However, you can still use the previous documents submitted or improve on them.

NB: don't alter any information on your previous application but you can add to it.

Good luck!

Thanks very much, God Bless You. Amen.

Will I need a new bank statement to reapply? Note that insufficient balance was not part of the reason for my rejection, just home ties.

I ordered for my gcms notes and i got this exact same thing ..I want to apply again any advice on what else to do

Frankrobbn1:
With the recent rejections for study visa applications from Nigeria. If anyone should seek for my opinion, I see no need ordering for GCMS note most especially when the refusal is from Kenya, Immigration office as these VO's at the Canadian embassy tend to copy and paste GCMS notes for every refused applicant.... Using the word - "Vague and Poorly documented Study Plan,.....Taking the applicant plan of studies into account, the applicant doesn't appear to be sufficiently well-established that the proposed studies would be a reasonable expense,......... Given family ties or economic motives to remain in Canada, the applicant's incentives to remain in Canada may outweigh their ties to their home country.........According to the applicant's current or future employment prospects, I have accorded less weight to their employment ties to their country of residence.... Based on the information, I am not satisfied applicant will depart Canada at the end of the period authorized for their stay"..... as a reason for a visa refusal. I can outrightly attest that if 100 person's were rejected of their VISA'S lately, 98% if not all will see the above reason in their GCMS note. Hence, my put forward proposal that GCMS note is irrelevant at this point in time.

PS: This post is open for any critics whatsoever. However, before doing so, make sure you're with your facts and figures. Whilst, I also present mine as well. This is my observation from so many applications and complaints I have been receiving from applicant's whose Applications were delayed.

We pray for more positive response to everyone applying and seeking a better future for their life.

Yes, you will be needing a fresh print out statement.

Second "do not reply" mail after BVL just dropped. I'm not opening that shit till I get back home

You can take with you or be in possession of liquid cash amounting from the least amount you can afford to $10k CAD. Also, don't forget to declare it or any thing you're in possession of.

You don't need to go with a printed BS and its not compulsory you be in liquid cash but its necessary just in case if emergency and other sorts.

However, you can transfer your LE into the account of a trusted family member and once you've gotten to maple land, upon opening an account, request them to immediately transfer the funds to your Canada account.

While traveling, you can just hold certain amount, let's say 2k CAD - 5k CAD and the rest can be transferred upon settling.

Hope this helps.

You just have to do it. There is no perfect time to do it, be an example of NIKE and just do it.

I wish you the best.

mzjokky16:
Pls, if you know anything about this, kindly response.

Carry some cash(for emergency and some other things you might need on landing ) and leave the rest in your account, a printed SOA will be enough (the immigration officer might not even ask for it). Make sure you inform your Nigeria bank that will be traveling so they can help you out on how to withdraw money outside Nigeria (I know of someone who had issue of using his MasterCard).
Also consider what @JustMellow said and see which will be more convenient for you

@frankrobbn1 pls help a brother sent an email to u sir, pls respond
