Thanks alot. Any other information you think I might need? Please I really need info and advise. I paid Activity fee on Friday and it is non refundable and will pay tution fee on monday. so I want to get it right to avoid loss of money. Please assist me (vizzle4sure@gmail.com)

The third time they say, "is the charm." You should take the time to write a coherent and persuasive Sop that details the following
1. why you want to study in Canada, why not Nigeria?
2 Why study advanced Business Administration
3. Prospects of Employment upon Return to Nigeria
4. Why you think you would return to Nigeria and factors that would induce your return
5. Plans upon returning to Nigeria

Yes there is some correlation with working in the bank as a loan officer and the desire to go for training in Business Administration. Work hard to fine tune and narrow that relationship in your SOP. You can tell the VO that you are going for Business Administration based on your experience in the bank with day to day business transaction within the bank; that a degree from Canada is highly respected in Nigeria and will greatly advance promotion and upward mobility within your company and the private sector in Nigeria at large-should you choose to go that route.

Finally make sure you got enough evidence of money in the bank or even pay one year tuition in advance and transfer 10k into a dorm account since they seem to have problems with your ability to finance your education.

Best wishes

Hello, I think you can't use a non school reference letter. You can get in touch with few lecturers u have good relationship wit for a ref letter.
Or contact the school you are applying to for confirmation if its OK to use non school ref.
Hope dis help.
Yes sir, I will, thqks

Bright9412:
Congrats bro!

Seems police report is no longer required as the space to upload it online is no longer available.

I believe in online applications as you would know what’s required and not add irrelevant documents.

I strongly recommend people applying through paper route to create a profile online to know the required documents. Too much documents may increase processing time and it might depict desperation.

Congrats once again.

Hello,
If i understand you clearly you said your last application for a study permit was refused based on PERSONAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL STATUS
This is very easy to tackle, Since your father owns a 71 Hactres of land you can add it to your application as prove of property, let your father address this in a letter stating that you own part of the land as your inheritance and you will be coming back to utilize it upon your graduation from Canada or better of, he can change the ownership to your name(willing some parts of the land to you) Any of them is okay.

Also, if you have been working and earning a good salary, you should add your salary bank statement to prove your financial establishment, but if you don't work, don't worry about it. Just add the landed property and you will be fine.

Other documents can be......
1-)Land Survery plan and
2-)Land C of O(Certificate of occupancy)

I wish you the best!

Chinlov:

Hello Room!

I was going through the thread and I noticed that most applicants were refused of their study visas based on the following grounds shorlisted on this post and this has given most of them sleepness night, some have decided to quit the Canadian dream and end up having the mindset that Canadian study visa is tough and can not be easily approved unless you use an AGENT, some even go as far as paying millions to AGENTS just to get their study visa. I must tell you that it is a lie, most agents even go as far as complicating issues for applicant, which most times lead to misrepresentation and a 5 years Ban. After reading this post, you have to get up to your feet , beat your chest and do things in the right way and get your study permit app approved Asap.

RECENT REFUSAL GROUNDS:

1-) Purpose of visit
2-) Current employment situation
3-) Personal asset and financial status.
4-) family ties in Canada or home country.

In this post I'll address the above reasons and give POSSSIBLE WAYS to tackle the concerns of the visa officer.

1-) PURPOSE OF VISIT -

It is important that your visit coincides with an important event in your life or the purpose of the visit can be reasonably explained in your SOP. If it is for study you must have qualifications in that field or have the expertise in that area. Most times, your job role or company should be relevant to previous studies and to your chosen field of study in Canada.
If you decide to change career path, it should be clearly stated on your SOP with compelling/strong/ and convincing reasons to why you decide to change a career path.

Your letter of intent should reflect the following and should be addressed in each paragraphs to avoid repetition.
1-) Describe your academic background briefly.
2-) Why you choose Canada not Nigeria.
3-) The school.
4-) The program of choice.
5-)How you intend to finance your studies in Canada without working.
6-) What you intend to achieve at the end of the program and how it might benefit you in the future.

Everything should point to 'studying in Canada' not working or visiting friends and family in Canada or securing a PR after completion of studies.

Address all academic backlogs, study gaps, study plans etc... on your SOP.


2-) CURRENT EMPLOYMENTSITUATION

Every embassy will like to satisfy themselves that the applicant has a gainful employment in their country of residence and that the prospects of getting a job when they loose their current one is high. That satisfies them that you won’t leave your job when you travel to their country. Canada’s High Commission is no exception. You need to prove to them that you’ve been working for at least 2 years continuously, you earn a good salary, say CAD$400- CAD$1,000 plus a month depending on the level of your education, you have leave to travel, and you are qualified for the job you are currently employed in. So add your CV, school certificates, previous and current job offer letters, leave letters, pay slips and introductory notes from your firm to evidence your employment.

3-) PERSONAL ASSET AND FINANCIAL STATUS

Like most embassies, the Canadian High Commission will also be interested in your finances. Show a 6-month bank statement or more for any Canada visa application; both current and savings accounts, showing your salaries or income from employment. If you have treasury bills, building society savings, mortgages, microfinance or credit union savings and the pass book or certificates, share investments in companies etc, add all to prove you have enough financial resources before and after your trip. There is no cut off bank statement figure. So try as much as possible to show your monthly inflow and outflow of salaries in your salary bank statement with a good closing balance as a proof of financial establishment.

4-)

FAMILY TIES IN CANADA OR HOME COUNTRY

Prospective travellers who were refused with this point wondered why they should have a family in Canada before being given the visa. Note that the full statement is “family in Canada OR family in your home country”. So its either you failed to prove each criterion or both criteria, that is, whether you have family ties in Canada or whether you have family ties to your home country. This is what you do :

Show sufficient ties to your home country i.e. what will compel you to return home?

1-) Do you have a spouse and kids(minors) and are you leaving them behind?
2-) Do you have elderly parents who depend on you?
3-) Do you own businesses/property that you need to continue managing?
4-) Do you have adequate funds?
5-) Do you have family members whom are not accompanying you to Canada?

All these mentioned are HOME TIES, so if you have any of the following listed, endeavor to show evidence to each of them and make sure you add it to your application.

The above information is Legit and was obtained from a Canadian Legal personnel.

I wish you all Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

All the best to the hopefuls and to the approved, CONGRATULATIONS!!!.
