Start with www.LazyNigerianYouth.com

femijohn21:
It is like people here are selfish. So sorry to use the word. Some of us just stumbled upon this thread and we have been asking how we can also be part of the idea of obtaining a US students Visa but no one is ready to enlighten us.

Pls, help us with information, starting from choosing. a school, how to obtain scholarship etc.

It is by helping others that we become fulfilled.

Help! Help!! Help!!!!

You should order your GCMS note. It's the only accurate way of providing a detailed record of an applicant's file. You'd get specific reasons as to why you were refused.

Teeporshe:
My application for study permit was denied and the points raised were;
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.

• 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.

My dad is my sponsor and I provided assets and bank statements. I am 25, admission is or a PDG in centennial college. I plan on reapplying soon. Could anyone please help on how best to address the concerns raised?.

Omo this thread dry die. Why Trump dey do una strong thing na?

Vesment:
asin nigerians or in general? cos i can still see indians getting accepted even from 25th july

Blema111:


As in those people’s own they fear me...I’m June 14, still waiting. I can’t defer yet until 17th Sept.

Indians usually apply via a newly launched programme called SDS (Student Direct Stream)

They need to meet three rules:

1. The students are required to obtain 6 bands in each module in IELTS test to apply visa under SDS program.

2. The students are required to deposit entire tuition fee of the first year at the Canadian institution instead of semester fee. The institution either college or university should possess valid Designated Learning Institution (DLI) number.

3. The student should obtain GIC (Guaranteed Investment Certificate) of $10,000.

It generally speeds up the processing time for them. Other nationals that are eligible include China, Philippines and Vietnam.

Others that do not meet the aforementioned rules apply via Non-SDS. The average processing time for Non-SDS is usually lengthy.

This SDS scheme will ensure they have good English skills, no stress of earning and paying first year fees (GIC) It generally brings better prepared students to Canada and eliminates the pool of low-skilled workers.

If this kind of programme is introduced in Nigeria, not everyone can meet the strict rules. Now you see why some of their applications are processed faster

Thought GCMS notes provide detailed record of an applicant file? i.e very specific reasons

Nobleman61:


Okay bro
Thanks a lot, and God bless
Now you can see what m saying,all refusals are same
Family ties
Purpose of visit
Employment situation

Frankrobbn1:


This guy! Always trying to win the race it's my Pleasure having conversation with you on this faithful Wednesday morning.

Wining the race isn't everything


It's the only thing.

Gelaaaaato

Fair enough

Frankrobbn1:


I'm not saying that there won't be approval.... But, the rate of refusals will supersede the approval! From Monday until now, we have over 10 refusals on this thread with few/no news of approval..... It's a normal trend for IRCC when it comes to this peak period during school resumption.

I'm just seeing this now.

Nicely said. Meanwhile I'm still waiting for mine o. 5 weeks from the UK but my programme doesn't start until October 31st. I hit them with a second web form yesterday, boys are not smiling o.

Frankrobbn1:


Definitely! We are both intelligent beings from different school of thoughts. So we can't agree on same perspective. I hope to see more of your contributions here.

Plan B very important. If Canada no show boys love today, we enter Ireland tomorrow... nothing spoil. Me cry untop wetin?

ralfudoh:
I totally agree with this. It has been so since 2015. Once it is July, the rate of rejections is always on the high side. I've seen a denial without reason. Last year it was just purpose of visit to multiple applicants. I sympathize with all parties involved. Delay is not denial. Defer, re-strategize, plan and reapply early. Applying early is always key. If you notice, those who applied for fall intake early have their visas and have already travelled, those that applied late are ending up with denials. If Jan is close, defer to spring or even fall 2020 and once u have your new admission letter apply. With CIC, one have to be patient and plan well. Dont be in a rush. Secondly, always have a plan B,C,D. Don put all hopes only on Canada, because when denied, you will hate yourself. Explore other options. My 2cents

My guy, I won't go back and forth with you on this issue. I'm a fan of your contributions on this thread.

That being said, we moveee

Frankrobbn1:


This moniker self!.... . Whenever you want to put up a debate/argument to proof my post wrong. Please do come up with facts and relevant proof to back your claims, because before I drop a comment on this thread, I am always conscious of the authenticity of the information. I don't say what i am not sure of or hearsay! Many on this window can attest to this.

Lol if you say so. I hope someone from this thread who's a June/July applicant for Fall 2019 shocks you. Mr Arjen Robbn, person gats clear your eye small

Frankrobbn1:


Believe it or not. IRCC has reached their quota for the fall term 2019. Any pending Application that hasn't received a medical invite/update since June is likely to turned down with flimsy/generic reasons. I'm giving my points based on the vast experience I have enjoyed in this process.

I didn't deviate. You were the one that introduced 'Solid or Perfect' and I explained that these were two different words with a nice example

Frankrobbn1:


You made mention of SOLID Application and here you're deviating to SOLID OR PERFECT!... I reiterate, there is nothing like SOLID applications elsewhere. Every Application is Unique and must undergo same scrutiny like others.

Tbh he has to finish what he started. That might be considered as fraud and may lead to a perm/temporary ban.

olalemii:
I need the gurus help on this...

A friend applied for US visa and was refused, unfortunately, the individual he used as his dad wasn’t his dad, he just used someone else just for his SOA since they share the same surname (He knows better now)

He currently wants to apply for Canadian student visa, but knowing US and canada share Data , kindly advice him accordingly on what he needs to do - He now wants to use his Dads name to show relationship between him and his brother (Sponsor)

Thanks in anticipation of your response

Lol bruv that wasn't your point, you're derailing. Your initial point wasn't regarding people that tender applications close to their resumption date. Ofc they would get rejected. Your point was that people that are still expecting a reply (like June/July applicants) with their resumption dates close are likely to be refused. The aforementioned sets of people are not the same.

Frankrobbn1:


You don't seize to amaze me with those word of yours! I am not giving anyone BP here. What I am telling you is the real fact! Any applicant that applies late towards a resumption date is at risk of been rejected as the applicant is giving IRCC a limited time to process their application.

Confirm the authenticity of this information and I'll provide proof to my claims.

Bruv solid and perfect are two different words. You're misquoting me

e.g Solid - Magna cum laude (Very good)
Perfect - Summa cum laude (Excellent)

Capish?

Frankrobbn1:


There is nothing like SOLID or PERFECT Application as you sound. Over my two - three years of experience of handling Successful Canada Visa applications, I have seen on several occasions where an airtight application, I mean applicant's with full funded scholarships getting rejected of their Visas. Hence, when it comes to Canada study visa there is nothing like the word SOLID applications. Every applicant's Application is unique and as such the visa officer will employ his discretion in assessing the overall information provided with the application.

Don't give high BP to people that are currently waiting for an outcome o. IRCC never said ''don't apply after a certain period because we might have reached the quota''. Anyway whatever you say regarding quota are mere speculations. No two applications are the same.

Fellow applicants, if you're still waiting for a decision, sight tight, as far as your heart is beating, there's hope.

Frankrobbn1:


You got it right! Applicants should be looking forward to applying for their Visas now for January Winter Term. Third week of December the visa officer's will be on leave and commence duty after the Xmas and New Celebration. The best time is NOW!!

"The rejection is a clear evidence that IRCC has reached a specific number of Temporary Resident applicants" - Not really, it's not factual, it's just a probability. Yes there might be a quota, but if your application is actually solid, I don't see why you should get denied. Unless they've reached the ''quota'' and your solid application has minor loopholes, they might be stricter and not overlook.

Frankrobbn1:


The high rate of refusals recently from IRCC for Study Visa Applications is NORMAL as we do encounter same experience towards the start of every fall term. The rejection is a clear evidence that IRCC has reached the specific number of Temporary Resident applicants to be admitted/issued visa for the September Fall term, 2019. I will therefore sincerely urge all applicants to defer their Admissions to January and apply in time so as to be able to meet up with their resumption date!

It shall end in praises

Hahaha a study in American Culture will get you an administrative assistant job in Nigeria?
V.O go be like: Oga we buy your story, but you no give us change

This is my TRANSCRIPT

Living Up To Your Name

YoungDreamer:
Who is preparing for SAT, let's rub minds together. How possible is it to make 1500/1600 because that's what I aim at to secure a full ride scholarship.

Your travel history doesn't really matter... but if you were well-travelled prior to your application, it might have made a tiny difference. It wasn't a major consideration in deciding your application. You're overqualified for a PGD programme and you didn't attempt to convince the V.O why such programme considering your qualifications, experience and certifications. The main reason you were denied was your vague study plan. BSc + Certifications -> PGD instead of MSc.

rippyblogger:
Good evening guys, I received my GCMS notes.


I have reviewed the application. Given family ties or economic motives to remain in Canada, the applicant's incentive to remain in Canada may outweigh their ties to their home country. The applicant's plan of studies appears vague and poorly documented. The applicant's prior travel history is insufficient to count as a positive factor in my assessment. Weighing the factors in this application. I am not satisfied the applicant will depart Canada at the end of the period authorized for their stay. For the reasons above, I have refused this application.

TLDR?: OP has a BS.c degree (I assume he graduated with at least a decent GPA), experience and other several related qualifications. He's going to a college for a PGD (Post-graduate diploma) instead of an MSc. He didn't attempt to convince the V.O or explain why that route. Hence, that led to a vague study plan because he's overqualified and his intended diploma programme is just a means to escape to Canada.

Part of OP's GCMS note:
"Given family ties or economic motives to remain in Canada, the applicant's incentive to remain in Canada may outweigh their ties to their home country"

- Economic motives (BS.c degree and other certifications)

waynee2baba:

***MY OPINION:

Firstly, your SOP was very decent in terms of grammatical structure.

However...

rippyblogger:
My name is (REDACTED), a degree holder in Computer Science from Olabisi
Onabanjo University, Ogun State. I currently hold three professional related certificates
from Cisco, The Linux Professional Institute (LPIC) and CompTIA+.

***MY OPINION:

Firstly, your SOP was very decent in terms of grammatical structure.

However...

- Your sentences were extremely long. You were dragging sentences. E.g "After completion of my study in Canada..." to "fast-paced tech ecosystem'. "The research I made..." to "...experience first-hand". You should know when to end sentences, some were unnecessarily long.

- Unnecessary explanation of what Computer Networking entails. From "The ease and speed by which..." to ''...without the need to visit physical locations" : The V.O is quite busy and doesn't want to know what the aforementioned course's description is neither does he/she want to know what it means to you. It's like asking someone "Why do you want to eat rice" then the person says "Rice is unique because it can grow in wet environments that other crops cannot survive" - good to know but very unnecessary... what if I knew? (vague statement)

- You told the V.O how you found out about Fanshawe, you didn't talk about what the college offers nor the programme. Instead you talked about how poorly structured the curriculum in your previous study was. The goal is to focus more on the present.

- You were very confident of earning at least three times of what you earn now when you return back, upon completion of your programme. Essentially, you're doing it for the money not passion (not an offence). What if you return back and don't earn at least three times of what you earn now? Speculations like that should be avoided because you can't prove to the V.O that you'd earn 3x of that upon your return.
Furthermore, so if you get 3x the offer in Canada, you're likely to stay back?

- Your second to last paragraph... "In my spare time..." should have been in the first paragraph (After introducing yourself) In my opinion, that sentence was also unnecessary because no one really cares what you do in your spare time if doesn't really connect the dots of your motivate of going to Canada. Let's say you watch pornography in your spare time, why wouldn't you include it? - It's not wrong to watch pornography but it doesn't relate to your current situation. It's just like putting your experience as a chef when applying for a Software Engineer role at Apple. You playing football with friends on Saturdays doesn't relate to wanting to study Computer Networking.

- You didn't tell the V.O why a BS.c holder with such wonderful networking qualifications is going for a PGD. (With your experience and qualifications, you should be going for an MSc to show career progression) You should have convinced the V.O why PGD... that's where the pros about your intended programme and Fanshawe College would have come in play, instead you said the only reason you applied was because of your 'personal research' based on basic(weak) reasons . You could have talked about the facilities or something catchy.




The most basic structure for good SOP:

- Introducing yourself
- Why this programme (maybe areas of study)
- What it would offer you (maybe co-op opportunity, technical skills)
- Why Canada? [what you'd bring to Canada (your Nigerian university knowledge and experience because Canny is multi-cultural)]
- Upon completion, what next? [talk about how your programme is profitable(is there a demand?)]
- Establish strong home ties (talk about your sponsor ...let's say your dad. Let it cover why he's sponsoring you,
no one cares what he does in your SOP, he's not an applicant.)
- Conclusion (link the reason you're being sponsored to why your course is relevant and profitable and end it on a strong note)

Talk about your other documents (preferably after you've said yours sincerely or thanked them for their consideration and anticipated cooperation) and put page numbers (Your V.O might fall in love )

*If you had a good BSc grade and you're going for PGD, explain the reason(s) after you talk about your intended programme. Normally, as a genuine student, you should go for MSc not PGD.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you require more clarifications.

So we'd know if it was not clear as stated by the GCMS note. It's just to pinpoint what could have led to the refusal.

lol.. Guy why na

Share your SOP.

Fellow Aspirants,
The approval (study permit to McGill) news came in today by 10:52am...
To God be the glory...
I will share my experience much later

SOMEBODY SHOULD RESPOND TO THIS

You'd need at least a strong 2:1 to secure an MSc programme in most Canadian universities. I'd say go for PGD instead.

good day to you all, I graduated in February, the year 2015 from uniport with a CGPA of 3.43 from biochemistry department and I want to do my MSC in any of the health-related courses in canada: 1 MSC in Addiction and Mental Health 2 MSC in Public Health 3 MSC in healthcare management 4 MSC in biotechnology and renewable energy. the question now is which of the schools in canada offer health courses at graduate level and to int'l students. I've tried some schools, they said they can't accept me, reason being that my CGPA is low. pls help a brother with any schools that accept Nigerians without any stress! thanks and God bless! I will also be willing to do PG/certificate as option B if option A (MSC) doesn't materialise

Start by doing basic research yourself. Check on Google for Canadian universities offering your intended course, look for their requirements and you'd also see what their application process entails. When you're done, come back and ask more specific questions - No one would spoon feed you.

Gurus in the house I don't know why my enquiry cannot be assisted. Please gurus I need ur attention.

Okay boss, so I went through the links you provided and have decided to settle for this course - MSc Computer Science https://www.mastersportal.com/studies/94361/computer-science.html

The total cost for the program is 3248 EUR which is 1308510.16 naira and is expected to cover a period of 1 year and 8 months

Can you please give me the break down of every other fee that I'm expected to pay?

Fees like;

- student visa fee
- average accommodation fee (off campus)
- any other fees I need to pay

I need to know what and what I'll be spending money on, from the point of gaining admission up until when I get the masters degree. Thanks!

Lol are you okay? Did I quote you? I just made a general statement.
