If you were refused a study visa then I would expect that your letter of explanation should be centered around showing why the last refusal was a mistake or how your situation has changed. There’s no need avoiding the topic. As soon as your application is opened the last VO’s notes which details his reasons why he refused you.

It’s better you try your best to address the issues otherwise you might just get the same response

Thanks. That's what I thought too.just wanted to be sure

Hey, I applied for fall 2020 in november 2019 and got a decision in 2-3weeks.

They said engineering course takes 16weeks and it's been over 16weeks

Concordia University admission process takes about 4-5 months prior to a decision is made. The current pandemic could have also prolonged the admission processing. My suggestion is that you should keep sending them a reminder mail every two (2) weeks to know the factual status of your application.


It will end in praise

Thanks. That was the reply I got when I emailed last. Will send a reminder again rhis week

Any Concordia Students or aspirants here? Applied since January and I am yet to get a decision. Emailed them, they said they are still on it

I would advise you draft an LOE that would come first before the SOP. This LOE would state the refusal reasons and clarifications on how the refusals were addressed in detail; one by one with their individual sub-headings. How has your current situation has changed? Have you added new documents to support your statements? Did u forget to add any vital documents and you have now added it? State all of it. Good luck

Thanks!

eightyeight:
address it head on with facts

Thank you!

Quick Question:
While writing LOE, is it advisable to be subtle about the last application refudal or address it head on?

Anyone available to read my LOE tackling purpose of visit and Family ties?

Nice one guys! Really love how to make an intro Video using After effects...

In view of the attachment, the visa officer is not satisfied that your proposed program in Canada is reasonably in light with your previous undergraduate studies and current employment as a poultry and hotel owner.

The visa officer wants to know the correlation between your experiences and the intended program. Why you're spending so much to pursue a program that is obtainable in Nigeria at a cheaper rate.

The fact that you've two siblings in Canada, the incentives of staying back after studies far outweigh your ties back home.

Your LOE should do justice to the above concerns raised by the visa officer. You should explain the correlation of your program in Canada with your current work experience. The benefits of the program after studies, whether it is financially rewarding that could offset the cost and difficulty of undertaking the program.

Your home ties in Nigeria, are you married? If so, your spouse and kids staying back in Nigeria, what are the provisions you had made for them as per their upkeep while you're pursuing your program in Canada. You should confidently let the visa officer know that having siblings who are PR in Canada should in no way have any negative impact in your application or be used against your study permit application. That, your sole intent of travelling to Canada is driven by a lawful purpose which is to study on a temporary basis and return home after studies.


Lastly, the business you claim to have here in Nigeria, is it a verifiable business with strong web presence? Provide explanation as to why you can't abandon your business in Nigeria for a Canadian stay.


All of these should be properly explained in a well articulated manner and as persuasive as possible in your next application.


It will end in praise.

Thank you Frank. My Parents own the business not me. I am not married too.Talking about work experience
I am not in that sector for now(how do I tackle this?). Also getting courses that are related to my BSC is a bit hard. Most times it's just GIS or Environmental courses. I will tackle all what you've stated in my next SOP & If you are chanced maybe you can help go through it. Thank you

These notes prove that these VOs actually go through the applications submitted.

It also appears that you didn't properly explain the relationship between the 2 courses.
I've learned that we shouldn't expect them to know, we should state all relationships. I think you'll have to share the documents u submitted and ur BSc grade that justifies going for PGC.

Thanks for the insight. Graduated with a 2:2. Below are the documents I submitted.
1. Passport Page
2. Sponsors Letter of Affidavit
3. Sponsors Statement of Accounts (Dad & Mum)
4. SOP
5. Police clearance certificate
6. All the forms we fill online
7. Family background documents
8. Properties owned by dad
9. Business Statement of account
My bro did most of the packaging so I really dont know all the documents he used.

For the family tie part, I have 2 brothers in Canada and just my parents here in Nigeria with Hotel business and Poultry. Both have the CAC documents. How do I tackle that too.

Hello guys, so I applied for GCMS notes and I got already. The reason is stated in the pic attached. How do I tackle this?

PS: I studied Applied Geophysics for my undergraduate studies and I got admission for PGC in Environmental management/Assessment. This course is an aspect of geophysics. How do I go about this?

dommakavelli:
Go through the GCMS note and deal with the VO's concern. Also, get your siblings to sign an affidavit on your behalf, stating your application for a study permit is solely for studying. You do not intend to immigrate to Canada. You will return to Nigeria after you complete your studies or before your status expires. That you will not rely on Canadian public funds or social assistance.
Goodluck

Thanks

Goodafternoon guys, I got refusal based on purpose of visit and family ties in Canada and home country. I have 2 brothers in Canada and my parents are in Nigeria. I already ordered for GCMS notes. What can I do to tackle these reasons

PS: applied for a PGD course

Pls how can I order for GCMS notes? Recommended site??

Evening house, pls can someone go through my SOP for me? Thanks

JustMellow:
Hello Ron5ke,

It would be advisable.

Thank you

vibrant99:
You reapply for the Visa, not explaining, by the way what are you going to explain? That you will come back?

Your Visa application was what his judgment was based on, From school applied to, to the course you applied to , to the ties back home and the feasible of your future with the result of your education, all mashed up make the conclusion!

Most of the time, you can only reapply and add one or two extra documents to portray your "home Ties" as strong enough to bring you back home,
Their eye dey red now!

Thanks but I really dont get what you are trying to say. Do you mean I should apply without writing LOE?

I applied for Visitors Visa in 2018 and I was denied. The VO said he/she is not certain I'd leave canada.. Do I need to write a letter of explanation to tackle this??

Applying for study Visa for the first time

Anon123:
U cant do a masters in a Canadian university with a 2.2... it's close to impossible to be admitted if u apply.. your best bet is a college.. search for courses related to your bsc and not offered in Nigeria

Not offered in Nigeria Got admission to study Environmental Management/assessment. Hope it will fly??

Anon123:
If u are in lagos.. YES!
