Many confirmed that research is no play in Canadian schools on this forum,........

I will pretend I did not see it until my TRV is approved.

...Pls,I am processing graduate certificate program in energy management at Algonquin college, 8 -months program but overall estimated to 1-year program
Pls, I have both Bachelor and master degree in Mechanical Engineering, working in power station + 6 years experience, 36 years age
Wife 31 yrs age, nursery school teacher, children 2, age both less than 5years

My question is that can a visa be granted for 8 months program?

...What is the probability of using this graduate certificate program to further my studies in Canada?

What document do you think I can put together to get a visa bearing in mind that money is not so available

Do we have anybody processing the school too

@horluwahseye

you indicate that you have never been refused any kind of visa, admission, or been ordered to leave Canada or any other country......did you tick ...Yes or No....this is serious issue

CanadianNurse:
Why didn't you include your Refusal at American embassy their? Did they tell you that because America refused you Canada too will refuse you? I know of a guy that applied to American embassy and got refused 4 times an got approved on the 5th time.... If America can still approve someone they have refused 4times why will Canada refuse you because America refused you

Getting to the reality, did you use an agent? If you did was it with your consent not including your Refusal?

After that 15days if you don't revert to them you are possibly going to bag a 5yrs ban! Guess you know what that means to your travel history!

Biko write letters and explain yourself to them

Emmane:
Hey Guys.... Please i need an urgent response for anyone who has knowledge of what i'm about to ask.


I have to send notarized copies of certificate to a body. And i really do not know what that means, and where i can get it done here in Lagos.

They said, only notarized copies would be accepted.


Pls i anticipate a response. Thank you.

I'm still preparing documents to submit for my visa. These questions relate to finance and sponsorship. My sponsors are my parents

1. What is the value of adding their land documents?

2. Please analyse my sponsorship profile

My main sponsor is my father who is retired, we want to use the bank statement's of his foreign currency dom account which shows tuition+living expenses+2000CAD for one year. The account is a savings one so high starting balance and average balance with small inflow and outflow. We can't include payslips cause he is retired. We also want to include my mothers payslips, work ID card and employment letter to show one parent is still working. I am also receiving funding of 25,000 per year. I am worried the vo might still see insufficient funds.

Austinpee4:

Insufficient funds 'as as how' nau?
Proceed with all confidence! You are set financially for your application.

It will better to order for your GCMS file, but to expatiate more on this your refusal reasons, I will like to tell you the possible reasons associated with the cited reasons above pending when your GCMS will come out so that you can start planning on how to correct them (if considering re-applying).

Travel History;
This is just a tag-along reason. Especially if there are other genuine reasons for your refusal. In this case, your main reasons for refusal are; "Purpose Of Visit and Personal assets and financial status".

Purpose of Visit;

Don't be decieved, this reason is associated with many other reasons. Firstly, the V.O may look at the following
1. Why do you want to study this course in Canada and not Nigeria.

2. Peradventure you're already functioning in that field of proposed study, going for a PGD might raise a red-flag. Lemme say this, most V.O's doesn't see an academic progression in PGD as it's a college-run program.

Also, you have to look at the contribution of your proposed course to your career and the practical application to the development of your environment.

It's not enough for you to just believe that your proposed course of study is related to your undergraduate course of study; you also have to indepthly show it to the V.O the relationship that exists between the two and the application to your work experience. As an Engineering graduate that i am, I might need a better clarification on the relationship between an Economics graduate going for Supply chain Management.

These and more are what you should be looking at tackling under "Purpose of Visit".

Also, as regard Personal assets and Finance;

I will like to ask you some questions.

1. Does your declared personal assets justifies that high number of work experience?
What I mean is that; what's your statement of account like, the inflow and outflow...? Did you declare any other asset aside your S.O.A?


V.O's most times commeasure your years of work experience with with financial status ( both liquid assets and non liquid assets).

parksg:

for doc needed read first few pages
Will you get visa for your course... That's between your God and the VO
Think you will be needing more than 500k
For bringing your family and PR, think you first have to arrive Canada then you will cross that bridge. Gurus in the house could help though.... That's just my 2cent

thesoj:

In theory a visa can be granted for an eight-month program.


I suggest you go for Express Entry. With your two degrees and your six years of experience in energy, it will be difficult to convince the VO that a graduate certificate is a step up for you. You are likely to get a "purpose of visit" denial. I am not a VO however and you would know best how to convince a VO that this is the right program for you. An MBA program might be more persuasive, particularly an MBA program that has has a focus on the energy business sector. I'd still suggest Express Entry sha.


If the money isn't available, the only alternative is to go for a program with funding, or find another sponsor.
There's a near-zero chance of getting an approval if you don't have access to liquid funds equivalent to a minimum of your annual tuition plus an additional CAD10k. And these days (for visa purposes) you need to pay the fees beforehand or have the money in a convertible currency (e.g. USD, CAD, Euro, GBP, etc) or show proof that you will be able to transfer your Naira out of Nigeria (given the tight FX policies on the Naira by the CBN).


You will process the school admission yourself. The process is straightforward actually, as the information is on each school's website. Please do not use an agent, especially for the visa.

Hello,

Why don't you want to go through the express entry route directly. Osemigho suggested this to you sometimes ago. You have a master's degree and if you can ace IELTS, you have a great chance of getting a high point. If your spouse can evaluate her result also and ace IELTS, that will even boost your point the more. What you are looking for in 'sokoto' is in your 'sokoto'. That is my advice for you Sir.

Jerryzone:


@AustinPee4 please reply my email I really need your attention urgently.
