fratermathy:
Concerning the refusal of qualified applicants, there are other factors that one should consider apart from sheer mistakes on the part of the VO. I've started to realize that Canada allocates a limited number of study permits every year. It's a technique they use in controlling immigration to Canada. Just as there are PR limitations (i.e. They may issue a specific number of PR visas each year and every country gets a certain quota of that), so too do they restrict the number of study permit approvals. Apart from this, they also give higher quotas to more populated countries and they favour those from certain countries too.

Beyond the politics of quota, they also aim to evenly distribute international students across the nation. The implication of this is that those applying to study in Ontario are bound to have more issues than those applying to study in Manitoba. If they allow every student to study in just one province, that won't be good for the economy of the other provinces.

They also assign specific quotas for students applying to study in colleges, and at various levels in Universities. This is why PhD students may likely get approval rates than those applying for a Masters (because there are fewer PhD applicants). The higher you go in the academic ladder, the easier it becomes to get the permit (especially if there is a logical progression in your career).

Another factor is that in some countries, like Nigeria, applicants submit fake documents. This adds to an overall suspicion of everyone's application. In a bid to verify documents, the VOs can misjudge the real facts of the matter. Sometimes, because of the high number of applications, they won't have the patience to do in-depth verifications and will simply reject the applicant so that his/her next application would be clear those doubts.

Note that what I've said are based on my personal observation of the process. The lessons to learn from these are:

1. Submit your application for a study permit as early as possible. Don't wait till the last minute before you do so. It may backfire.

2. Apply to study in other provinces like Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, North West Territories, etc. It shouldn't always be in Ontario.

3. As much as possible, apply to programmes that are logical cognate with your previous educational or work experience.

4. Save the VOs the stress of verification and submit authentic documents. Some VOs can know if a document has been tampered with via Photoshop or other apps. Others see certain documents frequently and can easily detect if something is awkward about a specific document. They are trained to find faults, especially in applications from certain countries.

5. If you're rejected, the best advice is to defer your admission to the next intake and apply at the point when many people would not have submitted their applications.


My people usually say "misiagware o" when we have exhausted our thoughts.!

God bless u for this. It the same thing I had in mind

This thing I'm about to say is from what I try to understand and all my research about ircc and SP. So after researching i figured most of the reason they are giving denial is cause most students applied to those region and the PR candidates they want to apply for a certain year is above. You should try applying to a different region were people haven't reply much. Place like Manitoba, toronto, Ontario. This places are already filled with people try other places where applicants ain't much and I can say you won't get denied. Newfoundland has brought up this PR thing for 2500 candidates each year. So far I haven't seen anyone been denied visa from Newfoundland. So let's not put our selves in popular places. Try somewhere else

Cuddles7:
He paid full tuition too.

I dunno what else they want

First refusal was based on purpose of visit. Now they have transformed it to personal assets and financial status

from my own understanding they didn't check his school fees receipts. They only check the bank statements and his personal assets

Debbyiiii:
Good morning guys

Samsn456:

Celoexpress:
Which email address?

the embassy email address, the one you sent the mail to

Celoexpress:
Guys, look what I got when I sent a mail to the embassy and webform that my processing time has passed.

Does it look like there is hope to come out this week as I have to balance up tuition this week. If i dont by friday, i have to drop out and defer till september which I really don't want to and I don't want to pay fully to avoid tuition refund issues as they do not want to refund the initial deposit i paid without showing proof of visa refusal.

What can I do now?

Please advise me guys.

what's the email address?

Lekiboboe:
Not it's not too early,

Your Uncle don't need to go to the court to swear an Affidavit of Sponsorship. Only you can do the package.

Just go to Notary Public with ur Sponsor's Passport Photograph & Your Own Passport Photograph.

Go with the details of your school in CANADA (School name & Address)

If you are based in Lagos,

Go to IKEJA, @ Oba Akinjobi way, the road leading to Ikeja G.R.A & Ikeja High court.,
u will see some women with Umbrella, (some standing, some sitting down) mentioning the word AFFIDAVIT continuously. Meet one of them

(The place is not far from the Popular Computer Village)

Cost : The range of #1,500 to #2,500

You can also check ijaiye road axis at OGBA, IKEJA , along where WAEC and NUJ (Nigerian Union of Journalism) office are located , u will also see some Women there mentioning the Word "AFFIDAVIT"

Once you get the AFFIDAVIT OF SPONSORSHIP, take it to your uncle, there is portion for him to Sign.

After reading this, I realised my dad didn't sign oo. I hope it won't affect me?. I didn't see any portion where my dad will sign

lentomac:

papijulah:
Can it be uploaded myself as well?

Thanks for the feedback.

you'd just upload your slip

papijulah:
Will IOM abuja upload the medical results or one has to do it by oneself ?

they will but first they'd call before they do. Also if you're going, endeavour to leave home by 6:30, cause the other day I left home by 6:45 and got there after 7 and I was number 12. Which before I got attended to was around 12 to 1

buzzme:
.... Hi @Rootiab, that is what we call a 'ghost update'. Few persons here have experienced and still experiencing it till date. Just hope for the best now.

It will surely end in praise.

Amen
