Hello good people. Hmmm my boy's Application was denied . I ordered for gcms note the vo stated that there was an inconsistent of deposit and withdrawals from my husband's account. Hubby said we should send him to uk for his undergraduate study. Hubby doesn't really like him to school in canada I wanted that. But with this refusal he his no longer interested in reapplying.
He has applied to uk university. Pls is it a good idea to send him to uk or should I convince him we reapply? He got admission in university of Leicester electronic and software engineering. While the admission in canada was computer science major. Thank you

The GCMS note is self explanatory and straightforward. In your next attempt, include documents that would demonstrate that your situation has substantially improved. It is clear that the compensated agent you used in your last application didn't include sufficient documentation to support your case. Since you will be self-sponsored in the subsequent process, add as much property documents and a bank statement covering for a period of 4-6 months in proof of your financial standing and establishment. Secondly, re-write your LOE by pointing out the new changes and information you've included in this current application. Don't also forget to include the degree certificate which the visa officer stated in the case note was missing.



It will end in praise.

Whose statement of account did you submit yours or uncle?

Did you include your degree certificate or transcript.

I sent both my statement of 10m and my uncles of 20m but probably the agent left my uncles own out as seen in the gcms, Same with the degree certificate, it was sent to him but most likely wasn’t uploaded.

Hello Bruan

From the visa officer's notes, you’d need to work on
1) your funds
2) home ties
3) justify the money spent on the studies is reasonable (using your statement of purpose/letter of explanation) 4) You should also attach your BSC certificate and university transcript.

1) Funds
The rule is to show 1 year tuition + at least 10,000 cad for living expense. But for self sponsored applicants, it’s not uncommon for the visa officer to want to see how you’ll pay for the rest of your studies (if the study is more than a year)
Since you want to be self sponsored, I’ll advice you to have the tuition for your whole program available plus living expenses. You can also pay tuition for first year (please check and confirm the refund policy of the school before paying) The money should not be exact, have some little left over after all this is deducted.

2) Home ties
This could be a business, good job with study leave letter, your family members, lands/houses or assets, active community involvement. You should attach a proof and also state in your SOP that you’ll come back to them.

3) justify the money spent on the studies is reasonable
You have to justify how the course will help you advance in your career, why the money spent on the course makes sense (reasonable) You should talk about this in your SOP (statement of purpose)

Since you’ll be self sponsored, you’ll need to show the source of your income. If you’re employed (payslips and employment proof) or if you’re a business person (your business registration documents)

Good day Fam,

Please i need your urgent help and guide and may God bless you as you help me.

Ok.. I just got my admission to study a post graduate certificate (8months to 1 year) program at Conestoga College Canada for January 18 2021 and would like to state the following before i proceed to enable you advice me accordingly.

1. I studied (BA)Mass communication 2005 and got admitted to study Broadcasting and digital performance in conestoga College. Please i would appreciate your candid advice because i'm married with 3 kids(2+,6 & 8 )years old respectively .I am 36yrs and hubby is 40yrs.I once travelled to Europe once while hubby went to the US and Europe. Just for the records. I work in a bank for the past 10yrs and my husband works and does personal consulting business as well and he is the major sponsor although i am also co-financing the program cost since am working as well. Now my question is would you advice i go with all my 3 kids or just the last child that is 2yrs+ and leave my hubby and two other kids as family home ties while him and the other kids join me later.?
2. My plan is to pay the acceptance deposit +first semester's fee even though we have the full tuition funds and living expenses. My question is would you advice i pay the whole one year tuition to prove our commitment?
3.Please i would like to know if i'm required to produce flight tickets and accommodation bookings, medical or police reports before uploading on the portal and submitting at the biometric appointment date?
4.Please is January 2021 realistic enough to meet up travelling abroad based on the Covid19 global pandemic to avoid the rush and panic.
5.Please is there a number of words required to writing the SOP?
6.Can my hubby use his investment bank letter instead of statement of account as proof of funds? does he require to add his pay slips?

Thank you all as i look forward to you candid help and advice.

Ijeoma.

Bruan:
Thank you Frank. Please for the part stated great expense for moderate gain. I don’t understand that part, how can I improve or tackle it.

Hello letskeeptalking

I would not advise it (personal opinion)
Only use it to show you have money to come back to. Not as a main source of fund, since the money is not readily available.

Best wishes

2022 is far if she and hubby pass ielts this year and submit application this year or early next year. The only thing is that some highly qualified EE persons would prefer higher student fees now and push their immigration hustle into the future. They can’t escape the hustle if they plan to settle in Canada. However, they hope Canada will not change its mind like UK did in the past and US is almost doing now. I didn’t take that chances and I am glad I didn’t. Happy thanksgiving to everyone in Canada.

I wish all student admission and visa applicants the best. Do not give up! Some will have to go through other routes (country or program) to get to Canada. The most important thing is to get here if that is what you desire. I heard masters admission and visa processing are easier in Estonia and Germany, and I have friends who have immigrated to Canada after studying in European countries. Keep your options open if necessary, but loose your focus on the prize. All the best.

Bruan:
Thank you very much Chocs. This was really helpful. Please when reapplying in merging documents together in a pdf, do i label the title above each document stating what it is or I can just merge them without writing any title on each of them

Hello Onweke,

I will give my opinion from two viewpoints.

1. Be patient enough and run your account with the 5m from moms. This can go a long way to prove you're in a good economic standing.

2. If there isn't sufficient time to be patient, get moms to write a letter of support to back the funds committed into the intent.

Both points may make better sense if you can make part payment of your tuition without limiting the current balance. I think point one should be considered.

All the best

Insanity:
If I were you, I would include a table of content page as the first page, this will contain the document titles and page numbers in the merged document. Goodluck.

Let him go to the U.K., then apply for exchange studies to Canada ( one semester). If he decides to move to Canada, he can apply for another relevant programme & process Canada from U.K. With his previous studies there & excellent documentation, he will get an approval.
My cousin moved to Canada this way last year. I also know of some friends that moved the same way before their visas ran out.

Goodluck

Hello Ijeoma12345,

You may be able to properly justify the reason why deciding to go with just your 2year old baby than moving everybody at a go. You've done well for yourself by been able to select a course that demonstrates progression but you have to be more realistic and specific about its benefits, future employment prospect and other areas of personal or career development.

Since you vouch for work experience up to a duration of 10yrs, its only right if you can demonstrate that you are well establishement both financially and economically. Its a good decision that you'all be a cosponsor of your study intent.

However, you may not find it that easy in trying to convince the VO on why at this moment after 10yrs of working in the banking sector now decided to switch to the communications sector irrespective of having a previous background. It may have been more easier if you had gone for business and management programs since you have a very strong work experience in this field and which is also related to your spouse's line of consulting business.

This way, proving the future benefits, intent for the study, and reliable employment availability to offset the cost of study may be well-explained in referencing a stronger home ties (given the current employment situation in your Nigeria) than the communications sector which you have a very weak background, exposure and experience.

In as much as paying tuition fees isn't a guarantee or prerequisite for a positive outcome, you may just consider paying the full amount since its available. Doing this may help you demonstrate your financial strength or freedom based on your available balance after tuition cost. Since you will be accompanied, it would then be easier to demonstrate available funds for LE for two. However, the implication for this is if the visa is refused and getting a refund may not come back in complete whole. If the risk is worth it, then this advise is for you. Otherwise, meet only the tuition payment (deposit + first semester) as stipulated by your DLI.

On your appointment date, you are only required to give your biometrics. Your travel itinerary arrangements are not mandated. You can invest that time and resources on other areas when packaging your application. The PCC is optional and doing upfront medicals is also optional. You may want to wait for medicals to be requested.

If you already have all the relevant documents at hand, then you can go ahead to submit your application but if otherwise then defer and set your focus at the next possible intake. Ensure you have evidence to show that you've secured, booked or applied for a daycare/nanny for your baby. You can start by enquiring from your school for assistance or guidance. Kindly write your study plan to how best it completely explains your situation and/or describes your application. However, avoid long and irrelevant stories or narrations. The investment certificate makes actually sense if its purpose is to serve as support for the main POF.

All the best
