MrALIVE:
but can one get unskilled jobs that do not require this SIN number like factory jobs,loaders?

Okay, I’ll clarify.

Upon arrival into Canada as either a PR, a student or on spousal work permit, a Social Insurance Number (SIN) is issued to you. This is the number that identifies your legal stay in the country.

It is your identity. If stolen can cause a huge chaos. This number is issued to you by the government of Canada and any employer who would want to employ you need this information in order to put you into their system.

With this number, you can also file your tax return

COMMON MISTAKES THAT COULD LEAD TO STUDY VISA REFUSAL. 🇨🇦

For several applicants that wish to relocate to Canada, UK, Australia and the likes with their families via the study route. Their major worries are about issues/mistakes that could result lead to their visa refusal and what could be done to prevent same.

Yeah, securing admission to Canada, UK to study is a major achievement. However, before you can pack your bags and move to Canada for your studies, you must get a study permit/visa

That brings us to "how can you avoid getting a rejection on our study visa application?".

If you’re planning to apply for a Canadian study visa, then there are some common factors to watch out for when making your study visa application.

CHOOSING A COURSE/PROGRAM OF STUDY THAT DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO YOUR PRIOR EDUCATION OR EXPERIENCE:

The program you choose to study in canada has a significant impact on whether or not your study permit application will be approved.

If you didn't already know this, you do now. If your study program is not related to your expected career path, prior schooling, or recent job experience, the visa officer may be skeptical that your primary reason for coming to Canada is for education.

If your study program isn't a logical next step following your previous schooling, ensure that your statement of purpose clearly explains why you've chosen that program and how it will benefit your career.


UNACCOUNTED GAPS IN YOUR EDUCATION OR EXPERIENCE:

It is critical to maintain consistency in your education and employment background. If you took a year out from school or were unemployed for a while before applying for a study visa, your application may be denied.

However, if you have genuine reason(s) for a gap in your academic or professional background, you must explain it in your statement of purpose.

FAMILY TIES IN CANADA AND YOUR HOME COUNTRY:

Strong family ties in Canada might often work against you when applying for a study permit. This is what I mean…

If you have siblings in Canada, mentioning them in your application may pass a wrong signal to the immigration officer to believe that you would not return home on completion of your study.

Similarly, if you mention that you don't have any direct family in your home country, the visa officer may believe you don't have a compelling reason to leave Canada after your studies. One way to go around this, is to show stronger ties at home; a job, a personal business, family, landed assets etc.

So whether through Study or Express Entry route, you need to know your onions so as to increase your chances of visa approval.

But higher percentage of applicants do not know what to do or due to ignorance ignore some vital documents that could boost their chances.

Relocating to Canada, U.S.A or United Kingdom through study is one of the best route to moving with one's family and eventually securing a Permanent Residence.

Getting admission to Canada, US or UK for study is a great achievement, however, that's just the first hurdle, before you can pack your bags and move to Canada, US or UK for your study, you must get a visa.

Although, most International students are eligible to apply to come to study in Canada with family members (spouses & children). However, there are few things to note to do this successfully. Let it be known that when you applied for admission, you did that for yourself alone, but when applying for visa, you can include your family (spouse and children) for your study visa

On that note, your visa application shall then determined by three things:

* Purpose of study
* Proof of funds
* Home ties

These three things are the expectations for single applicants as well, but if applying as a family, you have a stronger justification to make. You will need to show additional funds to cater for the family, justify the importance of having family members with you, and have other ties to your country.

Purpose of study:

In your study plan/letter of explanation, you will need to convincingly explain the reasons you chose to study in Canada and why your spouse & children should accompany you to Canada.

Your children can apply for a visitor/study permit (depending on age), and spouse, a visitor/work permit (depending on what they intend to do in Canada)

NB: If you are a student going to a school/program that is not eligible for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP), your spouse is not eligible for the spousal open work permit (SOWP).

This is one of the important reasons to ensure the program you apply for is eligible for PGWP. The study plan helps you to justify the purpose of your study & the importance of having your family with you so that your spouse can work and support the family while you're are studying.

Other reasons could be anything from the fact that your children are young, or your family has never been apart before. Family unification is important to Canada, so you can leverage on that.

Proof of funds (POF)

If you intend to apply with your family, you will have to pay extra application fees & also show more POF than a single applicant. You must also show that you have sufficient funds to support yourself & the family members accompanying you without working in Canada. You are expected to show enough to cover your tuition and living expenses as the student; and the additional funds for the living expenses of those accompanying you. And the total funds you need will depend on your own family number.

To be more practical, you need to show that you have the value of living expenses for one year (Naira equivalent of CAD$10,000 for you in addition to the cost of your tuition for one year).

Let’s say you wish to study for a Masters in Marketing for 2 years, and your tuition is $12,000 per year, you are expected to have the sum of $10,000 living expenses (1year) and $12,000 tuition for one year, a total of CAD$22,000. So if you have a family and you will be applying for them as well, you need to have an extra CAD$4000 for each of them for their living expenses per year.

If you are applying alone (at first), then you or your spouse needs to show enough funds for the living expenses on your family (no definite amount for this but should be sizeable depending on your family size).

Home ties

Proof of home ties, this is very crucial and an important aspect of the Canadian study visa application owing to the fact that many applicants have been denied based on insufficient proof of home ties, that simply means having sufficient fund is not enough to guarantee your visa approval. As an international student, you are a temporary resident & need to show that you have reasons to leave Canada after your study (if required to do so).

IRCC wants to see evidence of your home ties. Many applicants find it easier to use their family members as part of their home ties. But in the case you're applying with your family, it means you must be ready to show other ties.

It could be your business, investments, employment, financial assets and most importantly landed properties (which are mostly preferred due to the fact that landed properties hardly depreciate in value but appreciate more over time and immune to inflation).

Therefore, you must know what the visa officers want to see and craft your application to satisfy them. Submitting a valuation report of your landed assets (land & building) along with other required documents for visa application could actually boost your chance of visa approval.

Either for visit, study, medical or other temporary or permanent residency visa applications, it is strongly advisable for applicants to provide a valuation report of their property(ties) in order to assist and convince visa officer about their economic/financial status in their home country and also as proof of strong home tie to pull the applicant to return on expiration of period granted.

Property Valuation report could make a visa officer develop good mental picture of who the applicant is, it just like what CV is to a job recruiter. An employer can develop an idea who a job seeker is through the CV to decide if the job seeker should be considered or not. A valuation report describe in detail the property(ies) owned by the visa applicant and the corresponding value of such a property either a house undeveloped land, agricultural farmlands etc which undoubtedly could be a strong proof of the applicant tie to the home country that can pull him/her back after his/her study.

This document shows the amount of wealth you own in property(ties) in your homeland which will make a strong pull factor for your return to your homeland once the purpose of your visit is over and that may eliminate doubt of your return and one point of visa rejection.

Also, it could serve as a support document to your proof of fund which are usually liquid assets such as bank deposit etc. It will make lots of senses if you have good financial status as confirmed by your bank statement of account and property or assets valuation report to corroborate your status.

Though, there are many who do not submit this document due to ignorance or it doesn't matter mind set but it would be wise to do it by a smart applicant especially if its a non apprearance visa application or the one you first submit your application for assesment prior to physical interview.

It is important to prove that your housing assets is valuable as a strong home tie for returning after your study abroad or temporary visit and back up for proof of fund especially Canada Express Entry applicants and schooling.

The report would be a guide to the visa officer to establish the affordability of expenses of visit, stay, study and that the applicant have assets that can be liquidated to raise funds if the need arises.

In view of above, you may wish to consult us for engagement in providing you with this service of property valuation to meet your immigration purpose or whatsoever, our expertise team of Registered Estate Surveyors & Valuers with indepth knowledge of valuation will do justice to that to achieve your maximum satisfaction with utmost professionalism.

Hello, sorry to see this. Many issues could be associated with finance apart from the balance. I would advise you request for GCMS note to understand what went wrong. But if you can't wait, you could allow someone with experience to review your bank statement.

Good day my people, My husband and 2 kids applied for spousal work permit and study permit for the children August 23. They got refused after a week based on financial ground. The POF shows #30m. We wish to apply again next week. I kindly need your input guys. Below is the officer reason.

Abbeybaba:
Request for GSMN first to know what happened. It happened to me and did second time, I was refused. Then I requested for this, to my surprise, it is lump sum that caused it. After that I addressed the lump sum. I submitted on 8 August, got approved on 30 August.quote author=OkukuOne post=125953077]If you are granted a Study permit along with a spousal Open work permit (SOWP) in Canada while your spouse is an international student, you are generally allowed to start working right away once you arrive in Canada. You don't need to wait for your spouse's program to begin. The SOWP is designed to allow the spouse or common-law partner of an international student to work in Canada while the student is studying.

Good luck!

Was your denial reason happen to be this same reason? Or is different reasons and you got to known after requested for your GCMS note

Therefore, let's take a look at how an applicant can avoid getting a rejection on his/her study visa application. If you’re about applying for a Canadian study visa, kindly take very careful note of some common factors to watch out for when making your study visa application.

Although, most International students are eligible to apply to come to study in Canada with family members (spouses & children). These are few things to note to do this successfully. Let it be known that when you applied for admission, you did that for yourself alone, but when applying for visa, you can include your family (spouse and children) for your study visa

On that note, your visa application shall then determined by three things:

* Purpose of study
* Proof of funds
* Home ties

These three things are the expectations for single applicants as well, but if applying as a family, you have a stronger justification to make. You will need to show additional funds to cater for the family, justify the importance of having family members with you, and have other ties to your country.

Purpose of study:

In your study plan/letter of explanation, you will need to convincingly explain the reasons you chose to study in Canada and why your spouse & children should accompany you to Canada.

Your children can apply for a visitor/study permit (depending on age), and spouse, a visitor/work permit (depending on what they intend to do in Canada)

NB: If you are a student going to a school/program that is not eligible for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP), your spouse is not eligible for the spousal open work permit (SOWP).

This is one of the important reasons to ensure the program you apply for is eligible for PGWP. The study plan helps you to justify the purpose of your study & the importance of having your family with you so that your spouse can work and support the family while you're are studying.

Other reasons could be anything from the fact that your children are young, or your family has never been apart before. Family unification is important to Canada, so you can leverage on that.

Proof of funds (POF)

If you intend to apply with your family, you will have to pay extra application fees & also show more POF than a single applicant. You must also show that you have sufficient funds to support yourself & the family members accompanying you without working in Canada. You are expected to show enough to cover your tuition and living expenses as the student; and the additional funds for the living expenses of those accompanying you. And the total funds you need will depend on your own family number.

To be more practical, you need to show that you have the value of living expenses for one year (Naira equivalent of CAD$10,000 for you in addition to the cost of your tuition for one year).

Let’s say you wish to study for a Masters in Marketing for 2 years, and your tuition is $12,000 per year, you are expected to have the sum of $10,000 living expenses (1year) and $12,000 tuition for one year, a total of CAD$22,000. So if you have a family and you will be applying for them as well, you need to have an extra CAD$4000 for each of them for their living expenses per year.

If you are applying alone (at first), then you or your spouse needs to show enough funds for the living expenses on your family (no definite amount for this but should be sizeable depending on your family size).

Home ties

Proof of home ties, this is very crucial and an important aspect of the Canadian study visa application owing to the fact that many applicants have been denied based on insufficient proof of home ties, that simply means having sufficient fund is not enough to guarantee your visa approval. As an international student, you are a temporary resident & need to show that you have reasons to leave Canada after your study (if required to do so).

IRCC wants to see evidence of your home ties. Many applicants find it easier to use their family members as part of their home ties. But in the case you're applying with your family, it means you must be ready to show other ties.

It could be your business, investments, employment, financial assets and most importantly landed properties (which are mostly preferred cos they hardly depreciate in value but appreciate more over time).

Therefore, you must know what the visa officers want to see and craft your application to satisfy them. Submitting a valuation report of your landed assets (land & building) along with other required documents for visa application could actually boost your chance of visa approval.

Either for visit, study, medical or other temporary or permanent residency visa applications, it is strongly advisable for applicants to provide a valuation report of their property(ties) in order to assist and convince visa officer about their economic/financial status in their home country and also as proof of strong home tie to pull the applicant to return on expiration of period granted.

Property Valuation report could make a visa officer develop good mental picture of who the applicant is, it just like what CV is to a job recruiter. An employer can develop an idea who a job seeker is through the CV to decide if the job seeker should be considered or not. A valuation report describe in detail the property(ies) owned by the visa applicant and the corresponding value of such a property either a house undeveloped land, agricultural farmlands etc which undoubtedly could be a strong proof of the applicant tie to the home country that can pull him/her back after his/her study.

This document shows the amount of wealth you own in property(ties) in your homeland which will make a strong pull factor for your return to your homeland once the purpose of your visit is over and that may eliminate doubt of your return and one point of visa rejection.

Also, it could serve as a support document to your proof of fund which are usually liquid assets such as bank deposit etc. It will make lots of senses if you have good financial status as confirmed by your bank statement of account and property or assets valuation report to corroborate your status.

Though, there are many who do not submit this document due to ignorance or it doesn't matter mind set but it would be wise to do it by a smart applicant especially if its a non apprearance visa application or the one you first submit your application for assesment prior to physical interview.

It is important to prove that your housing assets is valuable as a strong home tie for returning after your study abroad or temporary visit and back up for proof of fund especially Canada Express Entry applicants and schooling.

The report would be a guide to the visa officer to establish the affordability of expenses of visit, stay, study and that the applicant have assets that can be liquidated to raise funds if the need arises.

Fitress:
Hello guys. Please I need your advice.
My boyfriend and I are planning to relocate to Canada through study route (Diploma program). Asides internship and nysc, he doesn't have any work experience while I have 2 years work experience as an Account officer in a bank. My boyfriend has learnt product design, product management, No-code website development and currently learning Javascript.

Based on our work experience and skill set, who will you advise to study for successful study permit visa approval and easy PR.


Also, we have been leaving together for over 2 years, would you advise that we apply as married couple or as common law partner

You can apply as common law partner if you can provide evidence of your relationship. Since you have work experience, you can apply under SOWP while your BF applies under SP preferably a PGC or Master's if he has good CGPA. Please note that SOWP is for spousal work permit, since you aren't married yet, you need to do a lot to justify while you should be given the permit, there is someone on this thread who did it. (I am not sure) you can search for it.

CANADA STUDY VISA APPROVAL/DENIAL RATE FROM NIGERIA.

Study permit Approval Rate from Nigeria (2021):

Approved Applications= 6,992.

Refused Applications = 13,832

Total Apps - 20,824

Approval rate - 34%

As of 2022, only 38% of study permits in Nigeria get approved while 62% get denied.

So whether through Study or Express Entry route, you need to know your onions so as to increase your chances of getting approved.

But higher percentage of applicants do not know what to do or due to ignorance ignore some vital documents that could boost their chances.

WILL CANADA CONTINUE WITH RECORD HIGH IMMIGRATION?

In a word: maybe. The next federal election must be held on or before October 20, 2025, though a snap election may be triggered before then as the governing Liberals do not command an absolute majority.

If the opposition Conservatives are elected to office in Ottawa — and there is every chance that may happen, according to leading pollsters — Canada's immigration targets may come down.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre often repeats a desire to 'get back to common sense immigration,' with a focus on filling jobs and favouring private refugee sponsorship over government assistance.

On the actual numbers of immigrants, Poilievre's comments indicate a sort of status quo ante ("get back to", and from that we could potentially witness levels similar to the decade between 2006 and 2015, the last period of Conservative government. During that period the number of new permanent residents was in the region of around 250,000 — relatively high when looking across peer developed countries on a per capita basis, but low compared with growth under the Liberals in the years since.

No matter who the key decision makers may be or what number they come up with, we can be confident that the number of people who want to live and work in Canada will be greater than the number who actually get to do so. Those who plan ahead may stand a better chance of success.

"Those who plan ahead may stand a better chance of success". That implies to succeed with your plan of relocating to Canada either through study of any other route, you need to plan and get your documentation right most importantly documents to proof your home tie.

You can get to read on nairaland.com about my previous articles on "how landed property valuation can boost your chance of visa approval".

Meanwhile, let's take a look at how an applicant can avoid getting a rejection on his/her study visa application. If you’re about applying for a Canadian study visa, kindly take very careful note of some common factors to watch out for when making your study visa application.

Although, most International students are eligible to apply to come to study in Canada with family members (spouses & children). These are few things to note to do this successfully. Let it be known that when you applied for admission, you did that for yourself alone, but when applying for visa, you can include your family (spouse and children) for your study visa.

Often times, visa applications are determined considering three factors:

* Purpose of study
* Proof of funds
* Home ties

These three factors are the expectations for both single applicants and applicants as a family.

For applicants as a family, you have a stronger justification to make. You will need to show additional funds to cater for the family, justify the importance of having family members with you, and have other ties to your country.

* Purpose of study:

In your study plan/letter of explanation, you will need to convincingly explain the reasons you chose to study in Canada and why your spouse & children should accompany you to Canada.

You as the principal applicant would apply for study visa while your children can apply for a visitor/study permit (depending on age), and spouse, a visitor/work permit (depending on what they intend to do in Canada)

NB: If you are a student going to a school/program that is not eligible for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP), your spouse is not eligible for the spousal open work permit (SOWP).

This is one of the important reasons to ensure the program you apply for is eligible for PGWP. The study plan helps you to justify the purpose of your study & the importance of having your family with you so that your spouse can work and support the family while you're are studying.

Other reasons could be anything from the fact that your children are young, or your family has never been apart before. Family unification is important to Canada, so you can leverage on that.

You must also show that you have sufficient funds to support yourself & the family members accompanying you without working in Canada. You are expected to show enough to cover your tuition and living expenses as the student; and the additional funds for the living expenses of those accompanying you. And the total funds you need will depend on your family size/number.

To be more practical, you need to show that you have the value of living expenses for one year (Naira equivalent of CAD$10,000 for you in addition to the cost of your tuition for one year).

Let’s say you wish to study for a Masters in Marketing for 2 years, and your tuition is $12,000 per year, you are expected to have the sum of $10,000 living expenses (1year) and $12,000 tuition for one year, a total of CAD$22,000. So if you have a family and you will be applying for them as well, you need to have an extra CAD$4000 for each of them for their living expenses per year.

If you are applying alone (at first), then you or your spouse needs to show enough funds for the living expenses on your family (no definite amount for this but should be sizeable depending on your family size).

* Home ties

Proof of home ties, this is very crucial and an important aspect of the Canadian study visa application or any other non-immigration visa category owing to the fact that many applicants have been denied based on insufficient proof of home ties, that simply means having sufficient fund is not enough to guarantee your visa approval.

As an international student, you are a temporary resident & need to show that you have reasons to leave Canada after your study.

IRCC wants to see evidence of your home ties. Many applicants find it easier to use their family members as part of their home ties. But in the case you're not married or applying with your family, it means you must be ready to show other ties.

It could be your business, investments, employment, financial assets and most importantly landed properties (which are mostly preferred cos they hardly depreciate in value but appreciate more over time and could be source of additional income if its a rental property.

Therefore, you must know what the visa officers want to see and craft your application to satisfy them. Submitting a valuation report of your landed assets (land & building) along with other required documents for visa application could actually boost your chance of visa approval.

Either for visit, study, medical or other temporary or permanent residency visa applications, it is strongly advisable for applicants to provide a valuation report of their property(ties) in order to assist and convince visa officer about their economic/financial status in their home country and also as proof of strong home tie to pull the applicant to return on expiration of period granted.

You if she is 3 year old above please choose Study visa for her.

I've come to say thank you to all the members of this wonderful group for all the free information that is posted here and to share my timeline and testimony

Timeline
I applied for my study visa last year July and visitor visas for my daughter and husband but I had to defer my Sept 2022 admission to 2023 because the visa was not forthcoming.

Jan 2023 I got a request to go for medical meanwhile nothing came for my husband and daughter
Feb 14th 2023 I got my PPR and my dependents got rejection letters
I submitted my passport and it took 8days to get the visa.
After plenty reading on this group we decided to apply for a SOWP for my husband instead of another visitor's visa
April 16th 2023 we applied for a spousal Open work permit for my husband and a visitor visa for my daughter.
May 5th 2023 medical request came in for both of them
They did the medical on the 18th of May
May 29th PPR dropped
June 8th passport was ready for collection
June 28th arrived in Canada

We decided to travel early even though my school starts in September so I can still be fit to fly as baby no 2 is on the way.
Port of entry interview was a breeze, the officer just asked for my school's letter of acceptance, letter of introduction, proof of tuition payment (I paid 3000 CAD before coming) and the bank statement of my sponsor(my dad). There was no question on why we were coming in early, nothing about the pregnancy too and we were not asked to show our personal bank statements.

Documents submitted for my husband's SOWP
LOE
Pay slips for 3months
Employment letter
Land documents
Pictures of our building under construction
Letter from his father to support the monetary gift he sent
Statement of account from his pension manager
Bank statement showing closing balance of N2.3m
Confirmation of funds letter from the cooperative society in the institute he works for because he also saves money there
My bank statement showing closing balance of N5.8m
My student visa and letter of acceptance
Our wedding certificate
Family pictures

Documents submitted for my daughter
I wrote a supporting letter explaining why I couldn't leave her behind
Her birth certificate
My bank statement
Affidavit of support from my father that I submitted in my study permit application.
My study visa and letter of acceptance

God truly came through for my family, I thought my study permit application will be rejected because of the pregnancy or that we would have issues at the POE but everything just went smoothly, better than expected.

Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences, all that we read gave us the confidence to apply by ourselves. May God bless you.

Hi, thanks for sharing this. Pls did your spouse attach your tuition fee payment receipt while applying for spousal work permit?
