I really thank God for your wife.
to God be the glory, Amen.

steffans:
Goodevening all,

I am always off and on here..

But here is my own testimony..

My wife got an admission to study at University of Regina..
She was to resume September 2015, but bcuz of somethings beyond our control.. we couldn't meet up with the September date but she will be going by January 2016 by Gods grace.


Submitted thru paper route on August 13th(My birthday wink )
Got mail for medicals: 31 August 2015.
Did Her Medicals: 7th September 2015.
Got a mail from the hospital that they have sent her result to CIC on 9th Sept 2015.
got her Approval mail this morning. 19th September 2015.

all in all it took us 1 month 6 Days.

We didn't submit anything extra from the usual.

I pray that this my Testimony will bless/encourage someone today..

I want to Appreciate Tnuola and JessicaJessa, who took their time to reply my PMs and questions i asked on this forum during that "Gala" period on the previous tread.

God Bless you all..

Cheers!!!

Good morning friends... @thesoj @ayooluwatoni @ favour @ teesboy and all my NL'S: I appreciate your regular encouragement and enlightenment: @thesoj; thanks for the link you posted for me, for SOP sample..you are all blessed.

After my first denial, I hereby want reapply again, The visa officer wrote that I was refused (on 24th sept, after my medical test)
but the CIC did not indicate that in the reasons why I was refused:
there reasons are;
1. Travel history(I have never travelled abroad before, how do I defend this?, I have only travelled to Ghana couple of times through seme over 10 years ago?)
2.Family ties in Canada and in your country of residence(pls how do I prove this?)
3. purpose of visit.(Is it the same as SOP or LOE)
4.personal asset and financial status(My sponsor is not a close relative, he just agreed to be my sponsor with SOA=17M, Does it realy matter?)
5.Someone said to me that I was refused because I failed my medical but If I failed medical I suppose the CIC should specify, would it be necessary to run another medical test or I should use the previous one since it last for 1 year ?
6. @ Favour, thesoj: in your last comment, you talked about the study leave letter 4 four years, if they might find it hard to believe? should I remove it in the next application?

Pls and pls I need your urgent advise,
thanks a lot.

thesoj:
So true. I just noticed that too once you brought attention to it. @Sammypraise

thanks alot sir.

Bros, after reading through your responses. I realize that there's a number of things you need to address in your next application.

a) You did not state your 2002-2005 job. This leads me to conclude that you had an unexplained gap from 2002-2005 in your application. This alone is likely to raise questions in the mind of the VO. You can't leave this period blank and unexplained. Figure out something. I still can't understand why you decided to omit the 2006-2008 certificate. In any case, you absolutely need to write an SOP to explain to the VO your peculiar educational trajectory.

b) Between 2009 and now, you have been working. You need to describe in your SOP how these two jobs have influenced your decision to pursue a BSc in Kinesiology.

c) You finished your secondary school more than fifteen years ago. This raises many unanswered questions to the VO: why didn't this applicant do a BSc in the >fifteen years since he finished secondary school? Why is this applicant wanting to do a BSc in Canada? Why now?

Bros, you need to write a strong SOP to reconcile your educational and employment trajectory with your decision to now pursue a BSc. Also, the SOP will need to address why you have specifically chosen Canada when in the last >fifteen years you could have chosen to go to another country to do a BSc in, including Nigeria. Your previous application was likely denied because the VO was not convinced that you are a genuine student. The burden of proof is on you to convince CIC that you are a genuine student, this is why it would be extremely important for you to write a comprehensive and convincing SOP to address all the issues stated. Best.

What course are you going for? UG or PG? If PG, when did you finish your undergraduate and in what course? What have you been doing since then? Did you submit an SOP? Do you have any family in Canada?
