Hello Rock247,

I'm sorry to read about your application refusal. The outcome(result) of ones endeavor often determines the reactions or comments of people. As far as I'm concerned you did a great job in your application based on what you put up there. Those documents were never too many, neither did they make your application too cumbersome. If this application was successful, chances are high that comments such as, 'mhen, this application is really loaded, air-tight,etc.' would be flooding the thread. As a matter of fact, you did very well, just that luck was not on your side at this time. For instance, there was nothing wrong in using more than one source of funds or in using Pension Account(people used it in time past and still got approvals). A very close friend of mine got his application rejected from this same Chinese embassy that treated your application, with very flimsy reasons: travel history ( this guy studied in Europe and returned to Nigeria without breaking any immigration law), course not in alignment with his previous academic and professional experience, which was not true. The reasons for grounds of rejection were completely opposite of his profile with supported documentation. This guy's application was air-tight, trust me, yet he got rejected. My application was not as strong as my friend's nor yours, yet I got accepted: I had no home tie ( wife and three kids on same application), sponsorship information was just a letter from the sponsor and the letter from the bank, stating sponsor's account balance, without the actual bank statement or affidavit of support, my own personal bank statement was a lump sum of money within a month.Despite all these, the application was accepted due to two factors: luck( God's factor),and my current location(applied from outside Africa).
Now, if my application had been rejected, there would be lots of identified 'loopholes' such as,'You should have applied first and add your dependents, 'Why lump sum', 'Why did you sponsor not provide enough documentation for you? Don't be surprised that if @Rocky247 sends this same application with a simply well laid out rebuttal,he may get it depending on the VO that will attend to his application this time around. VO's decisions are highly subjective!
Here is my little piece of advice, re-apply with a strong rebuttal to each of those grounds of refusal still using your initial documents IF YOU WISH. Pray for good luck, and favour, and leave the rest to GOD. You really did well in your application!

Thanks so much for your words of advice and kind words, I appreciate

Anon123:


Okay.. Oder for your gcms note so the vo will state his reasons better

Thanks alot, I am about to do that

Anon123:


As self-employed, did you register the business or show you have a business with a name and its registered. I no.. Then the vo saw there wasnt a cv or like you claimed self-employed with no business name or registered business name to prove your claim. Thats why the vo said current employment situation. The vo felt you are not working

Not really, because I did send a business name registration and also stated it in my CV

eightyeight:



To be candid, you made your application cumbersome. Land documents and allocation doesn't serve you any purpose as proof of finances. Stick to putting your sponsors letter, bank statements, sponsors payslip if available. Remove your own payslip from proof of finance as it serves no purpose there. Attach a letter of explanation to proof of funds section to explain funds available.

Move the land documents, your own payslip, leave letter to client information section


You should write a letter of rebuttal to every refusal reason given.

Please how do I go about writing the letter of rebuttal, do you have a sample I can follow..
... who do I forward the letters to...Thank you

Anon123:


Are you employed?
No cv
Pls dont use a pension account as source of fund. Calculate the total of your first year tuition plus $10,000cad living expenses, what you have is what is needed in your sponsors statement of account

Travel history is not a denial reason. You can get a visa on a virgin passport. So ignore that

Yes I sent a CV/Resume

The amount in the sponsors accounts was enough to take care of the second semester school fees, living expenses and others, having already paid the first semester fees (its a one year PGC). The Pension was only meant to supplement it

Anon123:


Are you employed?
No cv

I was as at when I applied, My goal has always been to be self employed and the course at the school is meant to broaden my knowledge on the matter and facilitate my goal of being an entrepreneur in my field, of which I stated in my SOP. I am currently working on my own and waiting for my study application to work out..

Please can someone help me with this?

Hello Everyone,
I just got the dreaded refusal mail

Please does anyone know a reliable source to get GCMS notes through?, because I don't have some one over at Canada to represent.

Please has any one been able to do in-Person scheduling of appointment directly at the VAC office for biometrics capturing?

Nwannediutor:


I am seeing September 2021..... Shouldn't it be 2020?

Not really, I had to keep checking months till I reached September of the next year.. yet no show

Good Morning Everyone,

Please I have been trying to book an appointment for Biometrics to no avail. It's showing "no available slots for applicant".
I tried calling their number but it is switched off. I tried most options available on the vfs site but none worked.

Is there any other person experiencing this? and is there a solution or any other way to contact them about the biometrics?

Hello House,

@Frankrobbn1 and @Anon123 , great things you have been doing here for everyone. I have written my SOP and I am about to submit online. Please can you help me go through it incase I missed something important?

How does one make money through Hubstaff.com? I've been finding it hard to land a steady client through graphics on the platform.

Hello gurus in the house, please I have an urgent question..
Is it possible to do a PGC with a low cgpa (2.5)?

Hello people, Please I am currently filling my application and providing the necessary documents and letters. Is it advisable to get a Study Leave approval letter from your employer if the course duration is 2 years and for a diploma. I am asking because thinking from the VO's stand point; won't it be unbelievable to he/she that a company would allow one go for a 2 year diploma and return to work in the company.
