As hard as it is to type, this was thesame refusal letter I received yesterday too and mine even has family ties in Canada and in my home country. Ordering my gcms note already. .

So sorry about your Refusal ma'am, your GCMS Notes would be the eye opener to your refusal reasons.

All will be well miraculously in your re-application.

Stay Blessed ma'am

OtunbaTee:
After reading this. I sighed a little and concluded that, there's no perfect application. Cos to be honest with you, my course: computer science n I graduated 2011, and I'm now going for global management course with a 2.2 , now tell me theres no God. All I believe is what God cant do doesn't exist.

Whenever u want to apply again..just hand it over to God and remind Him of His promises. What He cant do doesn't exist..
It will surely end in praise..

So sorry.. My application was nothing close to his ad God showed up... Like Otunba said, just hand everything to God to cancel every negativity on your application.

U deserve all the congratulations. I can't even imagine the mental turmoil u will have endured.. I am so happy for u. it has ended in praise . Go to Canada and prosper in Jesus name..

As hard as it is to type, this was thesame refusal letter I received yesterday too and mine even has family ties in Canada and in my home country. Ordering my gcms note already. One question though, what are your thoughts on notes from CBSA

My SOP was detailed, well I'll leave that to the gurus to scrutinize now

Purpose: Studied Philosophy, I have always worked in the business field with experience in sales and marketing, customer care and been working in the role of a Business Development Manager for the past 6years. This role is titled as Account Manager or Key Account Manager in the Telco industry. The course I applied for is a 1year MBA with a specialization in Professional Sales and Business Development. I ensured to describe my job role clearly cos in the 1st refusal, the VO commented on the gcms note that I am an accountant Manager going to study MBA. He got my job role wrong but even at that, can't an accountant study MBA

Personal Assets & Financial Status: I submitted POF of over a 100k CAD which includes local and foreign stocks, other investments and savings too from individual and joint accounts. My hubby is my sponsor and he wrote a letter to that effect and included letter from his employer, pay stubs, SOA etc. For NSE I submitted over 30k CAD using MBS.

Qualifications & Co.: I submitted my degree certificate, NYSC certificate, all employment history from graduation to date including letters of promotion and salary increase, business card, staff ID and all. I stated details about how the Biz Development role is in high demand in Nigeria, plus my international degree and experience I'll be highly sought after. I stated career available career opportunities upon my return, career progression by stating the job role/cadre I'll be able to work in upon my return to Nigeria and my aspired roles up to C-level roles including the salary range for each of the roles and how my Int'l degree will rightly position me for these opportunities all the way to the top of my career ladder which is my goal. I also submitted IELTS result.

I added how my achievements are intended to make positive impact in my country.

Family ties in Canada and back home: I have no relatives in Canada but all my family members are here including my husband and daughter and none of them is to accompany me to Canada. I included birth certificates, wedding pictures, affidavit of change of name, newspaper change of name, M-certificate, pictures of my nuclear family, pictures at work & all. Just added a few pictures cos of document size.

Other documents submitted are travel history for spouse and I, police certificate, affidavit of facts (which states that all information and documents provided in my application are true and accurate and that I'll depart Canada after my studies & not remain there unlawfully), LOE to address the initial refusal which was only based on purpose of visit and I emphasized my reasons for coming back home here. My daughter's American birth certificate and zero balance letter were included too cos In had to show proof that she's truly my daughter.

I honestly don't know what else I should have said or added but one thing I do know is that the VO commented on the first gcms note about the fact that my US visa renewal was refused after I had a baby there on tourist visa. So I tackled this by showing my email correspondence with the US embassy about my change of intention from tourist (of which i already visited and returned) to a medical visit to have my baby there. I did all they instructed in their mail and I was lawfully admitted into the US for the purpose of having my baby so I didn't do anything illegal or acted without integrity. This was clear.

I cannot help but feel like they just have a preconceived notion that having a baby is most likely my reason for coming to Canada but using study route. Meanwhile, I truly want to study oh which was why I stated all other schools I considered in Canada before choosing UNB and stated my reasons for that. I even included that I had secured admission in 2 schools in UK but I chose Canada becuase of the specialization of the course which is directly related to my career path. It was all just to show that studying was super key and I did my research before choosing a course, a school and a country. I await my gcms note though before knowing my next line of action. I honestly feel like I should just appeal but fingers crossed for now.

To all the gurus in the house @Frankrobbn1 @JustMellow @Chocs and all others, your review and analysis are greatly required. Make una advise biko.

@awys, your funny comments maybe consoling at this time @deomanuel, keep those scriptures coming make I add to the ones wey I don sabi @OtunbaTee, keep the prophetic declarations flowing abeg @Silvamania, thanks for all the encouragement. Not giving up, just standing by for now till my notes arrive.

It will end in praise for us all...

Sorry about the refusal, this is really tough to take, I don't know what more they want from you. This Canada study permit is God's Grace

Order your gcms and reapply , it is quite sad more so that you have started lecture.

It will end in praise

I submitted mine yesterday and he's accompanying me. What to do..

You should apply through your account. You would get the updates on his application in your account.

TeeMade:
Thanks sis @ Mideyo234.

Me sef I tire oh, the first application that was not even detailed had just one reason for refusal and the detailed one has 4, lol. Things that only IRCC can do, it is well.

Yeah, appealing is a strong option to avoid serial refusals cos I honestly cant think of any other info or document to add again.

It will end in praise for us all...

There is nothing to add to your reapplication other than letter of explanation to tackle whatever reasons they gave for the refusal after you received your gcms. You will be surprised how fast you next application will get approval

Hello TeeMade,

When you told me this news . I was so sad because I understand the effort and sacrifice one puts into this application. It’s not easy

Your application is far better than mine . That begs the question of how this VOs reason. It takes the supernatural work of the almighty .

I will suggest you wait for the gcms notes to come out and let’s see what happens. You can as well send the LOE for review and let’s see what we missed.

Please don’t give up ,I can’t imagine how hard it will be to apply again but just do it for the good life and extra benefits that comes with it

Like I said earlier, that Saint John , New Brunswick for Canada. We go rock am together by his grace


All the best

In my case, when I got the NSE request, i told my scholarship sponsors and requested for their bank statement,lol, instead they wrote out a letter of explanation for me to upload in the place of POF where they explained how established the scholarship is and details of its coverage.

I think the applicant should discuss with the school and see if they can provide some sort of evidence

HI @JustMellow Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me.

A few things:

1. You said I should have my sponsor transfer my "LE" to me. What's LE?

2. I paid half of my estimated fees before application but I will be sure to complete payment for a whole year before re-applying.

3. Can my sponsor transfer 10,000 to me for living costs before reapplying and does this have to be a gift of deed or simply just reflect in her account?

4. My salary is not a lot as I'm still a junior engineer so maybe that's the reason for the personal & financial assets point. what can I do to fix this?

5. I have 3 and half years between my undergrad graduation and now.

I'm doing my best to learn more and read all the threads before reapplying. Thank you everyone.

JustMellow:
Hello Notkenny,

Since there is progression in your study, I will try to share brief opinion pending the arrival of the notes.

You're using a third party sponsor (uncle). There shouls be somewhat commitment to show. If you didn't make payment or any deposit for your tuition, do so this time using your sponsor's account. Ensure the transaction carry a narrative and reflects on the BS intended for the sponsorship intent.

Depending on your available budget, try to make a full tuition payment (or half of it). GIC is becoming a norm amongst applicants from Nigeria, make an inquiry from CIBC or Scotia Bank on the possibility or how to go about this. If you intend to so it old school, have your sponsor transfer your LE to you.

Personal assets and financial status can be easily tackled by including Payslips if you previously included all employment documents and BS. A poor inflow and unexplained lumpsum can also be a contributive reason for personal assets and financial status, as its not necessarily about having landed properties.

If you can simply demonstrate how economically established you are in CoR using your employment ties or good employment prospect, you could sail through.

On some few occasion, personal assets and financial status could also be traced to one's sponsor maybe due to the failure to demonstrate how well-established, source of funds, family composition, financial strength, purpose of sponsorship etc.

Reiterating, since there is study progression, you may want to revisit your study plan and have it revamped.

Ultimately, if there is a study gap between your previous study and work experience, preferably, I will be of the opinion to the latter except otherwise—maybe being a fresh graduate with no or little work experience.

Best of Luck

Hello House!!
