Hello Waliyusuff

It is not safe to post your SOP on a public forum. Kindly take it down. You can approach someone on the thread and send it to them via email.

Best wishes

Thank you so much for your quick response. I have ordered for my gcms note, the reasons directly point at those four points. The SOP I posted was the one submitted and I have taken it down. I have bnsc in Nursing 3.6 gp, I’m going for a PGC in nursing. My tuition is 18,000 CAD and submitted statement of account with about 37,000Cad.
Pls can I mail the new SOP I used to answer refusal grounds to you, to help me vet it? I will be glad to if you can review it with me.
Thanks once again.

Hello Waliyusuff,

Sorry to hear about your refusal

First thing you need to do is to order your gcms notes.

The reasons you were given in your refusal letter are generic. To see the specific cause of your rejection, you need to order your GCMS notes. To do that, just google “GCMS notes sites Canada” and you’ll see several websites you can order it from. It costs between $15-$20 cad and can take up to 35 days to be ready. If you have anyone in Canada to order it on your behalf it would cost $5 cad only. Please order it immediately. From the notes you’ll see the visa officer’s specific concerns and you’ll be able to address it before replying if you decide to reapply.

For travel history you can give a good explanation why you have none.

For financial and personal assets, 9m seems too small to me. Canada requires you have 1 year tuition fee + at least 10,000 cad for living expenses. If you’re married, you need to show how your wife and kid will survive while you’re studying, could be your wife’s employment docs and her pay slips, if she’s not working, could be your transferring old amount of money to them for upkeep.
Also for self sponsored students, the visa officer will check for the possibility of you paying your tuition for other years without working in Canada (this also means you need more money) if your course is more than a year.

How many years is the course?
How much is tuition for 1 year?

For purpose of visit it could be that your sop (statement of purpose)/ letter of explanation was weak OR the course you’re going for does not align with your previous academic background or work experience OR it doesn’t show career progression. Eg you have a BSC already and you apply for an ordinary diploma (which is less than a bsc)

From your SOP I can see you have a bsc nursing.
The course you’re going for in Canada is a post graduate certificate as you stated in your SOP. Was your Bsc nursing graded? If yes, what was your GPA? If you had a 2:1 or first class, you should be aiming for a master’s and if you had a 2:2 a PGD/PGC is okay.

This questions can give the house a clue on what went wrong with your application.

For family tie you can explain how you’re leaving your family behind, your landed properties and improving your account statement will help.

Summary: you have a lot of work to do. First order your gcms notes and start building your account up. While the house gives their input before the arrival of your gcms notes. Also your SOP needs a lot of work, it is vague.

Best wishes
