I first want to thank Almighty Allah, for the journey.

First application, with an agent
Submitted - March 16th 2021
I lost my dad - may 23rd
Refusal - June 28th
A day after my birthday, my refusal reason was just purpose of visit. The agent applied for a 2nd BSc for me and I was kind of like a novice but I just knew it wasn't right. And I reconfirmed after I joined nairaland fully during my application process.

After the refusal, I was weak, angry, pained and I decided to do it on my own this time, I had learned enough from nairaland and was more motivated than ever. I got my files from my agent and I found out he made a lot of mistakes and I knew correcting them would put me in a lot of future troubles. Then spectro messaged me from here after my refusal and was just interested in helping me, the guy is truly God sent, he repackaged my application, my LOE was practically almost written by him. I will write and send it to him and he will cancel it and make adjustments, told me to correct all the mistakes the agent made and assured me I was doing the right thing.

Let me just put he's a genius. He did everything for me for free, I had to ask him what I did to deserve his help

I also appreciate everyone from nairaland too, Belle10, freshestc, teemenzo and everyone who answered me.

I think that's everything for now
Goodluck to those waiting, it shall end in praise and you shall soon receive your good news. Elizabeth and nitandi I'm rooting for both of you too.

Congratulations, bro!

Thanks a lot for your kind words. I am really happy about your PPR. You waited for so long, and it definitely ended well. This is just the beginning of great things to come.

I had a fulfilling academic experience here in Canada, and it ended well too. Now, I have a job and PR is next. May God bless each step you take. Congratulations once again!

Residentourist:
Congratulations Spectro!!! God indeed makes everything beautiful in his time. Your initial refusal was on the same day I got my approval. I am so glad you didn't let that deter you, instead you got fired up and see, you are just in time to make fall session if you want!!! So sorry you had to go through that sad situation and a very big Congratulations that you came out of it victorious!!!
Canada will favour you!!

Congratulations on your approval. What a coincidence!

The refusal was tough and devastating, but I was always very proactive and optimistic.

I am happy it turned out well.

Thanks a lot.

Leyemoshood:
Nice one, thanks for breaking it down. Wish you the very best, we'll meet at the top in Canada by God's grace.

You are most welcome brother.

jayifeanyi1234:
Big congrats to you, Spectro. What a testimony!!!.
Indeed, what He cannot do,does not exist !!!.

Concerning your question, I think you can do your Fall studies online from your location, but MUST be in Canada on or b4 the 31st Dec.

Blessings.

Thank you so much. The plan is just perfect for me.

Leyemoshood:
Congratulations on your PPR.

Spectro, can you please state the reason for your refusal the first time, and how you tackled it plus the time difference between when you got the refusal and the reapplication. I believe this will help a lot of people repackaging their application.

Thanks a lot for this.

I was refused June 9. I wanted to reapply June 10, but I hadn't paid tuition.

So I went to Stanbic bank on June 10 to open a current account. I had to wait for a week before getting the new account. And so, on June 17, I filled in Form A for tuition payment. It took two weeks to process tuition payment... I don't know why.

I still waited for my university to send receipt, so that was like another four days or so. I got debited on Friday, and had to wait till Tuesday to get my CIBC receipt. And then I got payment receipt from the University a day after.

On July 4, I vetted all documents, LOE... They were all 3.95+mb for each section. July 6, I submitted my application.

Reasons for my first refusal
1. Purpose of visit
2. Home tie


I wrote two separate LOEs to tackle both; one for each concern. Honestly, one LOE should suffice, but I was determined to make this my last application. I decided to give it my best.

Purpose of visit was a wrong judgment by the VOs. So I explained in 4 pages why there must have been a misunderstanding. I did serious explanation, breaking things down.

But most importantly, I was honest and revealed my vulnerable side. Since I knew I wasn't doing anything wrong, I decided to be myself. My intentions were real, not deceitful, and my goals were clearly stated.

Hometies had about 6 pages explanation. I was very particular about this one. I just had to write it to the best of my ability. Again, Honesty worked for me. I revealed some very personal reasons I would have to come back home. And then, I made mention of several assets.

One thing with home tie is, there are four types, I believe...

Hometie to one's spouse, children, or parents... Explanation must be exhaustive.
Hometie to one's land, business, houses
Hometie to community responsibilities, roles... Sufficient proof must be provided
Hometie to place of work... Employer gives you a study leave.

I noticed one thing.

SOP (or LOE) is very very very important.

Whatever you state in your LOE/SOP, attach documents to prove them.

This is why each section of my application space was approximately 4mb.


Thanks a lot once again

Testimonytime:
Congratulations. This is a miracle.

Thanks a lot. It is Testimony time!

Glory be to God.

sweetchi2411:
Congratulations!!!

This news made my day!

Thank you very much.

May wonderful news come to us every day of our lives.

JustMellow:
For Fall 2021 applicants who did not include upfront medicals, do so if possible. The majority of April & May applications are getting responses or final decision submitted a complete application (biometrics & medicals).

To those delayed, if it is what you want, stay strong and remain focused. The first step is to request your GCMS notes to have more understanding of how to tackle the ground of concerns.

Also, huge congratulations to everyone that hit the jackpot. More glorious wins and don't forget to drop your timelines to help others learn.

Cc: Shupy & Spectro, please, accept my special shout-out of celebration with you. If there is a white party, send an IV over.

Cheers bros!

Thanks a lot, Just Mellow.

And thank you for the great things you do here.

God bless you abundantly.

mamatee2:
Congratulations Spectro. I'm so happy for you.
Ever faithful God has done it for you.
Even though it tarried, it has finally come!
Congrats once again. I receive my own testimony too in Jesus name!

God bless you, ma. I pray the Almighty God will accelerate the processing of your application. You will get your PPR and it will be joyous by the grace of God.

Thank you so much.

LoadedHollow:
also, i have paid my first year tuition in full o. And no, this is my first bachelors degree

Oooh, it's a Bachelor's degree.

When submitting applications for Bachelor's degree, one really has to tidy up proof of funds. Your LOE has to be detailed and exhaustive. You must focus on convincing the VO that you won't have issues with funds.

If possible, break it down mathematically for the VO.

Lovesarrow:
Congratss Spectro. You really deserve this

Thank you very much. I appreciate this. I will be sending my passport to Abj tomorrow.

I am beginning to feel home-sick though. And I never even commot. The gingering spirit is no longer there, lol.

It will end in praise for you too.

Dolex86:
Wooow Spectro...Congratulations....

I have been so silent since i got my refusal but couldn't keep mute when i saw your testimony

I felt so motivated!!!Already ordered for my notes and expecting it soon.

May the land of Canada favour you

Cheers

Thank you very much. I was just as silent as you when I got my refusal. I couldn't post anything. I just wanted the storm to be over. I feel more alive now.

I am very grateful for your remark. I strongly believe yours will end in praise too.

I would be happy to help, if you don't mind. Perhaps, when your notes drop.

Stay blessed.

I applied for a Diploma at Seneca College (Office Administration-Health Services)

—I paid my full tuition for the entire program, it’s a one year course.

—I started my first semester on May 27 2021. I raised a webform & also emailed Nairobi & Lagos visa office my enrollment verification and proof that i am halfway through my first semester on 2nd of June.

—Something weird happened, on the 23rd of July 2021, a day after my medicals, i got a call from Deputy high commision of Canada in Lagos, the lady told me she was calling to ask if i had done my medicals. I was so confused because i had never heard of anyone that was called by them.

—I’m so glad i got approved, i was nervous at first because i have family ties in Canada and i also stated in my SOP that i will be staying with my relative during the period of my study. I also have an ongoing PR application so dual intent actually works!

Congratulations!

It has ended in praise.

Thank you everyone for the support and kind words. May we experience the grace of God.

I thought that before I leave this wonderful thread, I should drop something for you.

I am currently working on a project, and that project will be completed in the last week of August.

It's an E-learning Platform for primary school students and secondary school students.

Let's just say it's like home Lesson. There's no home Lesson in Canada. So your children can gain access to computerized home lessons on their tablets, phones and laptops. Video Lessons, computer notes, and Computer Based Tests for each topic. All subjects.

We all want to raise excellent children with awesome brains. So, I think this will be beneficial to all parents.

You can look up what this project is about on Instagram.

https://www.instagram.com/tklesson_global/

Please, follow Tklesson on Instagram, and when the computerized Lessons begin in September, you will get notifications on Instagram. It's just 20 dollars monthly. Your child will get academic result, cgpa, etc.,


Thank you all once again. Stay blessed.

Yours will end in praise too.

Thaiy:
There is nothing to be guilty of, grace cover you

Thank you very much for your kind words.

It will be a joyful outcome for you too. God will do it.

LoadedHollow:
Omg I’m typing this with tears in my eyes. I applied for study permit since November 16 2020 but after emailing for the past 2 weeks and messaging an MP yesterday, the application is out. I’ve been rejected for personal asset and financial status. The thing is that the account used had millions of naira but rejected still. It’s been years since the last time I shed a tear but today, I shed them like a little baby. I don’t know what to do right now

I know that feeling. Please endure and understand that it's not the end of the road. Process the feeling and refire afterwards.

First thing first, you need to acquire your GCMS notes.

There is more to a statement of account than sitting balance. The VOs evaluate many things such as

1. Sitting balance
2. Unexplained lump sums
3. Sources of income
4. Constant inflow of income
5. Disparity between inflow and outflow of income
6. Other existing assets
7. Number of dependents of Sponsor
8. Relationship to Sponsor.

So, the first thing to do is to acquire your notes for better understanding.

Kalatise1:
Lol...Gen Spectro...congrats bro...this makes me laugh lol

shupy:
Big congratulations to you. I have never been this excited at someone else's PPR announcement before. You have no idea how happy I am.

Thank you very much, Shupy. I just learnt you have gotten your PPR. What a great news!

I am very happy about recent events. May God bless your journey too.

Oyesquare10:
Guru Spectro
Don't be surprised cos that's who you are!
Can you please explain how you handled this?

In my previous application, there was no concern raised about proof of funds.

When I read the GCMS notes, I discovered that they had two concerns

1. Purpose of Visit
2. Family ties


I was shocked when I saw that the Senior VO stated that there was no academic/career progression.

That was obviously entered in error because I have a Bachelor's degree IN Economics and was going for Masters degree in Economics with a first class grade.

But I realized that the VO might have gotten confused because I also have a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.

So I did a lot of explaining sha. I wrote three different LOEs. One was general, the second was for purpose of visit, and the third was for home tie.

I paid full tuition.

I did not create GIC.

LOE on purpose of visit was 4 pages... It was exhaustive. I explained every stage of my academic stages and career.

LOE on family tie was 5 pages, I think. I emphasised on assets, parents and study plan.

I thank God for his mercies.

Oyesquare10:
Omo!!!!
See as I open mouth!!!!!
Congratulations man!!!!!!

Thank you very much.

Me sef shock.

jonosas:
Congrats, Spectro.

Thank you, Jonosas. I really appreciate.
