Prepare only for the best news sis, no cause for alarm. Remember, NO TWO APPLICATIONS ARE THESAME.

The first VO's comment on childbirth is kinda like a thing in my own application, at least that's my belief for now. So na gcms notes go clear the matta.

It will end in praise for us all...

awys:
Am telling you ooo when I did my UK study Application then I nor even feel am say I dey do study visa application but this one I hear am and stressed me out but now I can only prepare for whatever comes my way!!!

@JustMellow,

Thank you so much. I'll just order notes from CBSA in addition to the one from IRCC cos I hear they now request for 90days extension.

Yes, we await GCMS notes and I'll surely keep you posted on that.

It will end in praise for us all...

JustMellow:
Hello TeeMade,

CBSA uses same GCMS notes to enter information of an applicant's background and security checks.

Since, CBSA officers are not VOs assessing the application in its entity to the point of final decision, I am not so sure if the notes from CBSA would contain the VO's notings. Logically, since both department uses same Global Case Management System into enter their concerns and/or findings, it may be safe to say requesting the notes from CBSA would also contain the final notes of the VO.

Since the backlogs for GCMS notes request is soaring high, you may want to request for it through CBSA. If you want to do it the Nigerian style to avoid time wastage, you can also request for it through the popular GCMS. This will help in comparing information contained therein for both and fastness.

To the main headline:

I will reserve my comments/opinion until I see the VO's concerns in the notes due to the immigration concerns previously raised by the VO.

Maybe others can weigh in with suggestions.

Best of Luck

@awyyyyyyyssss... lol, I was honestly looking forward to your post make I laugh small... Yours is gonna be positive oh abeg don't imagine or envisage any negative news. We go celebrate your PPR soonest by God's grace.

IRCC sabi wetin dem dey do but God pass them.

It will end in praise for us all...

awys:
Oh my TeeMade oh Dear I mean I don't know what to say I mean I j am just so speechless looking at this explanation on your Application am sure if another VO reviews the Application within a second the Application will be approved I mean what other explanation can be More detailed like this.Am just so sorry about this I don't even know what to think anymore I can only prepare for anything that comes my way cuz even if you explain upon explain they still do what's in their mind above all I believe you gave this your Application the best shot so only God knows when your notes comes out we would see their comments but really am dumbfounded.Its well the battle is of the Lord's is to keep fighting it out with them with God I believe the next one God will surely be praised!!!!

@OtunbaTee the Prophet himself, thanks chief. I handed it over to God oh even before applying and up till now. I pray nor be small cos no visa has ever stressed me this much. Even the super meticulous UK no reach like this but what can I say? God knows best and even when I don't understand, I trust Him regardless.

I opened that donotreply mail with alot of excitement, I was shocked to my bones when I saw a refusal but then again, God knows why He permitted it.

It will end in praise for us all...

OtunbaTee:
After reading this. I sighed a little and concluded that, there's no perfect application. Cos to be honest with you, my course: computer science n I graduated 2011, and I'm now going for global management course with a 2.2 , now tell me theres no God. All I believe is what God cant do doesn't exist.

Whenever u want to apply again..just hand it over to God and remind Him of His promises. What He cant do doesn't exist..
It will surely end in praise..

Thanks sis @ Mideyo234.

Me sef I tire oh, the first application that was not even detailed had just one reason for refusal and the detailed one has 4, lol. Things that only IRCC can do, it is well.

Yeah, appealing is a strong option to avoid serial refusals cos I honestly cant think of any other info or document to add again.

It will end in praise for us all...

Mideyo234:
Wow. You got 1 reason the first time, and 4 this time? These people na wa. I’m so sorry babe. I really think you should look into Judicial Review, I’m not a pro but your application looks airtight to me.

@deomannuel, thanks bro. I nor know sey to go born for US na crime or because Trump administration refused to renew people's visas one must not do anything progressive abroad again.

Started my course online already and not particularly sure of what to do now sef but God dey sha.

It will end in praise for us all...

deommanuel:
I'm so sorry to hear about your refusal.

You gave it a really wonderful shot with all those documents.
Let's wait for the GCMS notes to arrive.

Your next Application will end in Praises.

Congrats @ Oyinlove15, more wins for you by God's grace.

To all the TRV hopefuls yours is on the way In Jesus name.

Much appreciation goes to @lekiboboe, thank you, sir, for helping me review my sop and loe , Thank you Mr frank for telling me what to do when the refusals came in in 2019 even though my gcms note was empty nothing was shown from the VO. Thank you to everyone one who supplies info on this platform
how do I go about passport submission.

As hard as it is to type, this was thesame refusal letter I received yesterday too and mine even has family ties in Canada and in my home country. Ordering my gcms note already. One question though, what are your thoughts on notes from CBSA

My SOP was detailed, well I'll leave that to the gurus to scrutinize now

Purpose: Studied Philosophy, I have always worked in the business field with experience in sales and marketing, customer care and been working in the role of a Business Development Manager for the past 6years. This role is titled as Account Manager or Key Account Manager in the Telco industry. The course I applied for is a 1year MBA with a specialization in Professional Sales and Business Development. I ensured to describe my job role clearly cos in the 1st refusal, the VO commented on the gcms note that I am an accountant Manager going to study MBA. He got my job role wrong but even at that, can't an accountant study MBA

Personal Assets & Financial Status: I submitted POF of over a 100k CAD which includes local and foreign stocks, other investments and savings too from individual and joint accounts. My hubby is my sponsor and he wrote a letter to that effect and included letter from his employer, pay stubs, SOA etc. For NSE I submitted over 30k CAD using MBS.

Qualifications & Co.: I submitted my degree certificate, NYSC certificate, all employment history from graduation to date including letters of promotion and salary increase, business card, staff ID and all. I stated details about how the Biz Development role is in high demand in Nigeria, plus my international degree and experience I'll be highly sought after. I stated career available career opportunities upon my return, career progression by stating the job role/cadre I'll be able to work in upon my return to Nigeria and my aspired roles up to C-level roles including the salary range for each of the roles and how my Int'l degree will rightly position me for these opportunities all the way to the top of my career ladder which is my goal. I also submitted IELTS result.

I added how my achievements are intended to make positive impact in my country.

Family ties in Canada and back home: I have no relatives in Canada but all my family members are here including my husband and daughter and none of them is to accompany me to Canada. I included birth certificates, wedding pictures, affidavit of change of name, newspaper change of name, M-certificate, pictures of my nuclear family, pictures at work & all. Just added a few pictures cos of document size.

Other documents submitted are travel history for spouse and I, police certificate, affidavit of facts (which states that all information and documents provided in my application are true and accurate and that I'll depart Canada after my studies & not remain there unlawfully), LOE to address the initial refusal which was only based on purpose of visit and I emphasized my reasons for coming back home here. My daughter's American birth certificate and zero balance letter were included too cos In had to show proof that she's truly my daughter.

I honestly don't know what else I should have said or added but one thing I do know is that the VO commented on the first gcms note about the fact that my US visa renewal was refused after I had a baby there on tourist visa. So I tackled this by showing my email correspondence with the US embassy about my change of intention from tourist (of which i already visited and returned) to a medical visit to have my baby there. I did all they instructed in their mail and I was lawfully admitted into the US for the purpose of having my baby so I didn't do anything illegal or acted without integrity. This was clear.

I cannot help but feel like they just have a preconceived notion that having a baby is most likely my reason for coming to Canada but using study route. Meanwhile, I truly want to study oh which was why I stated all other schools I considered in Canada before choosing UNB and stated my reasons for that. I even included that I had secured admission in 2 schools in UK but I chose Canada becuase of the specialization of the course which is directly related to my career path. It was all just to show that studying was super key and I did my research before choosing a course, a school and a country. I await my gcms note though before knowing my next line of action. I honestly feel like I should just appeal but fingers crossed for now.

To all the gurus in the house @Frankrobbn1 @JustMellow @Chocs and all others, your review and analysis are greatly required. Make una advise biko.

@awys, your funny comments maybe consoling at this time @deomanuel, keep those scriptures coming make I add to the ones wey I don sabi @OtunbaTee, keep the prophetic declarations flowing abeg @Silvamania, thanks for all the encouragement. Not giving up, just standing by for now till my notes arrive.

It will end in praise for us all...

notkenny:
Good morning, all.

I just got my refusal letter based on the following reasons:

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.
• Your proposed studies are not reasonable in light of one or more: your qualifications, previous studies, level of establishment, language abilities, or your future prospects and plans.

A few things:
1. I studied electrical engineering in undergrad and I'm going for the same master's program so I really don't understand the "purpose of visit". I even submitted a WES Canada translated transcript in my application citing a 3.5/4 final CGPA.

2. I didn't have any huge assets. The only thing I submitted was my salary SOA showing the monthly salary payment. I also used a relative of mine as a sponsor. What can I do to fix this?

The third reason is even more confusing.

I've ordered my GCMS notes and hopefully, it will come soon. Please ANY assistance from all the gurus in the house @frankrobb1 @justmelow and others will be much appreciated. I plan on applying again for the May or Sept semester and I want to be fully prepared to avoid a second rejection.

It will end in praise.

Hello @ Reme145678,

So sorry to hear about the delay, you'll get it in your next application by God's grace. I'm just curious know if you used a sponsor and who, and if you submitted MBS with at least 30k CAD. If yes, did you take out the money/part of it after submitting your application? Did you have lump sums and were they explained?

My apologies for the several questions, your response may help to clarify some comments on bank statements on this thread.

But today i confirmed it and I am really shocked... pls see this reason for refusal below...

Hello @Frankrobbn1,

It's been over a month since I submitted NSE requirements so it has passed standard processing time of 20 days.

If I get you correctly, I'm to send a new mail everytime I'm sending them a mail. Please clarify.

It will end in praise for us all...

Frankrobbn1:
I don't think its necessary to be rasing a CSE to the Nairobi Immigration when your application is still within the standard processing times.

You can do so if your application has exceeded the normal processing times and there seems to be no movement on your file. By so doing, you've to send a new email everyday.

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT


Good day wonderful people, I shared my story in part 15 of this thread.

This is just to encourage everyone not to give up on this dream it is possible as long as you keep trying, working with the right information, expecting the best and having faith in God.

After my visa was approved, my family too was approved within two months later. So they joined me during my study in Canada.

I have completed my MSc program(faster than the normal duration), family was nominated by the Province for PR, got my 3-year post graduate permit, started working on a good job and hoping to live the Canadian dream! All things are possible.

I got a lot of information on this platform while applying for my study permit.
I am more than happy to provide advice and information as a way to give back to the platform.

Unfortunately I will not be able to reply to private messages due to some personal reasons. Please post your questions on the thread, I will provide answers if I know the answer or someone else can help. I believe we have very experienced people here who are willing to help.

I wish you all the best

Happy new year!

@Olaa123, please be strong and be assured that you'll soon share your testimony so long as you don't give up. I believe the gurus here will assist you and maybe this time, you may wanna try doing it yourself. All the best, God's got you.

awys:
Please who has gone for Passport renewal lately ??.like last year having done my data capturing on the 30th of December 2020 since then they said its the Federal Government that's delaying them that no booklets in the whole of Nigeria to print out.I intend renewing it this January but decided to do that data capturing last year December against January I never knew we are still going to be battling with no booklets in the Country after battling with how to do NIN and now this!!!.NO BOOKLETS AND PEOPLE ARE STRANDED EVEN NIGERIANS IN DIASPORA ARE Complaining about this as well
Now person dey think of IRCC,Federal Government of Nigeria add join their own.My passport is expiring June 2021 this year so I had to go renew it since it's 6months to Expiry and IRCC too is silent as usual.What do I do Biko Federal Government release BOOKLETS ooo.

May we all receive the Love Letters we've been waiting for, AMEN!

Lol @OtunbaTee, this question again. Its just to show budget oh not specifically because the VO needs it but just to show my financial plan and I decided to exclude it from my living expenses, dasall.

It will end in praise for us all...

OtunbaTee:
na VO dey check 14days quarantine plan again??

@Lentomac, I think it depends on location. I used the rate that my admission adviser gave me for my calculation. Rate on AirBnB too can be used but I believe this person needs to actually book a quarantine place and not just show a budget since he wants to travel.

It will end in praise for us all...

lentomac:
Thanks for your response

Actually am asking this question in respect of someone who has gotten her Study Visa Approved and wants to travel

Does that mean she should make available a budget of $2500 CAD for the quarantine?

The Prophet @OtunbaTee, naso I do my financial breakdown oh, lol. I'm referring to that financial plan table used when submitting application. I recall even that @Frankrobbn1 mentioned same a while back.

It will end in praise for us all...

OtunbaTee:
na VO dey check 14days quarantine plan again??

Hello @Lentomac,

I included 14days quarantine budget of 2.5k CAD in my financial breakdown separate from my cost of living expenses. I separtaed them because I have realised that it is better to spell everything out for those VO's. My 2cent.

It will end in praise for us all...

lentomac:
Good evening guys,

About this Two Weeks Quarantine Plan, i want to know,
" apart from the one year living expenses, Is there any amount of money to be shown for a Quarantine Plan, if yes, how much? "

Any Additional information about this 2-weeks Quarantine Plan will be appreciated

Thanks

Hello @Kevin95,

So sorry about the delay, please repackage and refire immediately since you have your gcms notes. I'm sure the gurus here can help you tackle the VO's concerns. Did you get NSE request and did you respond to it?

It will end in praise for us all...

kelvine95:
I was denied Visa for;

1. I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence.
2. I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.

And I got my gcms notes just now. Please note that I got a funding of 26,100 cad per year for 2 years. My tuition is 18,300 cad for first year and around 12,000 cad for 2nd year. I totally understand the comments from the visa officer aside for the *unreasonable cost*, since my tuition us fully covered, why is that still a problem?

I also noticed that the VO probably did not read my application correctly, since I applied to Dalhousie University and not University of Regina.
