Hello,

For funds and assets: based on what was written in th refusal letter, when re-applying, you'll need much more than the 11.9m you have. You'll need to have your tuition + 10k cad in your sponsor's account before you apply.

For family ties: I'm guessing you stated that you have family in Canada; if you did this, it was wrong. I don't know how to undo it, so maybe someone else can help out there.

For purpose of visit, you'll have to tell us what course you're going for and what your undergraduate course was so we know if there's a correlation.

I hope this helps. Hopefully someone else can be of more help to you.
Cheers.

Hello,

Before help arrives, you can always use google first. Just type in what you're searching for, "schools in Canada offering agricultural engineering for PGD" and voila! Quick responses.

Good luck.

darey360:

Nope. I didn't.

Please will I have to pay the cost of transmitting my passport to the embassy at VFS Global, if I applied via the online route?

Please I need help, I have my first degree from a Nigerian Uni, masters degree from a UK uni and now I am looking at applying for a graduate certificate program in Canada, I want to know if it won't be an overkill to include my masters degree in my application. Also, I am aware of the FSW thingy for express entry and I'm also exploring that, however, I have heard that even I get into Canada through the express entry programme, getting a job wouldn't be easy and I may need to obtain a Canadian educational qualification even if its a diploma before I can easily be considered by job recruiters

P.S. Proof of funds and travel history aren't are problem for me, what are my chances of getting a student visa?.

Austacus:


Your funds is very good and it can give you a visa and your current employment are good also. so now, you will have to work on your family tie and purpose of Visit.
Just to let you know that Dubai and South Africa is not regarded as a travel history (as far as Canada visa is concerned) well, they don't just refuse visa on zero travel history, though they will mention it with other reasons
Tackle the other reasons and travel history will fly away.
Your US denial doesn't have any negative influence on your Canada visa... it does, if you were banned.
If you're not in a rush, order your Gcms to know the exact thoughts of the VO that handled your application.
July is summer so you have time to order for your Gcms

For those that have done Medicals, how can I get to Qlife from Obalende/CMS?

Sup any news?

Frankrobbn1:


Its not mandatory that you must have a sponsor prior to applying for a Canadian study visa. You can be a self-sponsored applicant provided that you've adequate funds for the entire duration of stay in Canada which includes your tuition and living expenses.

That's good to know. Thanks for your response.

Eedric:
Thanks so much and God bless you. Once again if someone want to travel based on visiting as to get his/ her passport disvirgin what was the procedure as well.

Eedric,

It may interest you to know that several folks on this window have secured their Visas without having to travel out from the shores of their home country. Therefore, you don't obligatorily need to travel to another country in light of acquiring a travel history before applying for a Canadian study visa.

zsuby:


Please will I have to pay the cost of transmitting my passport to the embassy at VFS Global, if I applied via the online route?

Yes, if the passport is submitted at the same place where biometrics was done, then its free. If not, I think you'll have to pay 13k or there about for passport transmission.

Please gurus in the house, mr frank, viber.... pls for small company sponsoring an applicant, what range should be in the company’s account.

It won't be feasible for a small company in Nigeria to sponsor an applicant to study abroad given the visa officer requirement for a high influx of funds into sponsor's account statement over the past few months and not a modest income. Applicants that have made use of highly established companies with huge bank statement figures still get rejected on the basis of financial insufficiency, I wonder how you will pull through with a small company. I suggest you use a close relative which could be (father, mother, siblings, aunt or uncle) as prime proof of sponsorship whilst, the company come in as the auxiliary sponsor to your application. With regard to the aforementioned, the company should have in excess the total amount of your first year tuition and living expenses in the account.

nonipeter:
I am applying for bachelor of management in Dalhousie university Canada what is my chances getting admission, I graduated from my secondary school with my waec 2010 please what are my chances of getting admission

The biggest hurdle you've to overcome is securing a TRV for yourself as you will have to explain conscientiously with evidence, what you've been doing since you left secondary school (2010) until now, why you've not attained any post-secondary education and why you think you're a suitable applicant for the program you're accepted in and your plans to graduate with high grades considering your huge study gaps. In respect to your admission, this would be the least of your worries because you're very likely to get an acceptance offer from the school.

I regret to hear your study visa application was rejected based on the few reasons highlighted by the visa officer on the attachment. It's nice to see that you've taken bold steps by ordering your GCMS notes so as to have a clearer insight on what actually went wrong with your previous refused application. In the absence of the note, you may check this POST, while working towards submitting your next application. By the way, why PGD program instead of a direct Master's program?

It shall end in praises in your reapplication.

Am really impressed with this information.

marshallian50:
Thanks juleskiki for making out time to respond to my enquiries. I am very grateful. Still on the matter, for those that have applied to programs that don't necessarily require a supervisor, can I apply to Saskatchewan and still get a funding?
Course- agricultural economics
Cgp: 4.40
See pics below. Thanks.

It’s better you don’t waste your application fee. Don’t let that grammar confuse you because definitely before they finally accept your application you MUST identify a faculty member willing to supervise you.. so you see, it’s as good as securing a supervisor before beginning a formal application. I advice you to make sure you secure a supervisor before you apply so you can be on a safer side, but Godforbid no one accepts to supervise you after you have applied, that means your application fee is gone. Kindly contact potential supervisors in your department, if they give you a positive response very fine go ahead with your application, if they don’t.. then save your money and check other universities, as they can’t offer you admission without you identifying a supervisor. I was once a victim!..�

Pinky16:
Please, do I need to write another SOP for the visa application or same that I submitted to my school before gaining admission.

Secondly, my total funding is about 18.780 CAD per annum...do I still need to provide account statement. Can it cover for me and my spouse? If not, like how much should we have in our accounts to qualify.

Also, my spouse is a lawyer, will his/her stamp/seal or call certificate substitute for all those company documents. Then, the visa application fee will it be paid double(husband and wife) or as a single applicant for couple.Then what are the picture size to print, and what background colour shoul the digital passport be?

Finally, what is pay stubs for four months. (Stubs of what precisely) and what are the CIC documents?

First and Foremost, I will start by congratulating you on your achievement (a funding from your proposed university)

With reference to your questions, find the below answers;

Question 1: Yes, you do need a fresh SOP for your visa application in view of the fact that the SOP you submitted during your application for admission didn't cover up some vital points which the visa officer would want to see when reading through your letter. Due to this, Your SOP must be coherent, concise, and should reflect the following points:
Paragraph 1: Describe your academic background briefly.
Paragraph 2: The program of choice.
Paragraph 3: Why the school in Canada.
Paragraph 4: Why you choose Canada not Nigeria
Paragraph 5: Financial support, how you intend to finance your studies in Canada without working.
Paragraph 6: Future goals and prospects, What you intend to achieve at the end of the program and how it might benefit you and translated to your home country in the near future.
Paragraph 7: Home ties, what can compel your departure after authorized visit to Canada.


Question 2: Aside your funding worth 18.780 CAD per annum from the University, you are ought to provide additional proof of financial support for yourself and any of your accompanying family members i.e 3KCAD for dependant child and 4KCAD for dependant adult as shown on IRCC official website. More so, have some funds left for your flight itinerary and other expenses.


Question 3: Is your husband the bonafide owner of his firm? The call certificate as well as his CAC registration certificate will stand-in as his company documents. Since it's two different applications merged as one, you will pay for your self and your husband at same time. The picture size is the normal 2 by 2 passport photograph. All you need to do, is walk into any of the business centers close to your locality and request for a visa passport photograph and it will be given to you. The passport photograph must be in white background.

Question 4: Pay stubs are also known as pay slips. Most established organizations, use them to pay their employees at the end of every month. If you have any, you can as well include them with your application in evidence to your personal financial establishment. As regards to the IRCC documents, the list of the forms will be generated on your behalf based on the answers you provide when filling the online study permit questionnaire.

I hope the above answers your questions.

Best of Luck!

Hello Famz, I am planning to apply for a Canadian study visa in few days. I got admission to study for an MSc/PhD degree in Chem & Pet Eng at University of Calgary. I applied initially for a PhD degree but was offered due nonavailability of enough funding to support my PhD studies. I was promised a change of program depending on my first semester performance. My scholarship is worth $21k per annual and will like to confirm if that funding will be enough for upkeep. Please note that the funding will be used to cater for the tuition fee as (tuition of about $14k for 1st year and $3k for 2nd). Thanks.

I’m just so confused now sef, the reason we wanted to use my company in the first instance is because of home ties, my dad can sponsor me, that’s why I’m using my company as first sponsor and dad as second sponsor, but now that ure saying it has to be a big company with high influx of cash, i don’t understand anymore, my dad can sponsor and maybe my uncle too but the thing is issue of home ties, how do I convince the VO I’m coming back...pls advice...Didn’t know it would be this hard I just thought if I get admission all the rest na small thing, admission sef is the least of problems.

Thanks for the info very helpful.

Mudicua:
Likewise here. I applied July 30th and did biometrics August 1st. Still on background check... like nothing is happening. I sent an email when it was on the 16th week and got the generic response. Upfront medicals was done in December. Application updated to medicals passed about a week plus later. Till date nothing. Last week I eventually applied for GCMS notes to find out exactly what's going on. Hopefully in a month's time it will give an insight if my application is not yet attended to by then.
As for the trend, hmmm I do not know if there is any pattern, but most of the applicants in that period May/June/July got positive responses. I have only seen a couple of denials and it is not like their applications were not properly done. So we cannot really tell.
Hopefully everything will end in praise for us all still waiting.

Please I want gurus in the house to help me and interpret the gcms note for me cos I have applied twice now and we have been denied both me and my wife based on the following reasons and is as follows:
Travel history
Purpose of visit
Assets.
However,i also noticed that towards the end of the gcms note,there is another NOTE which I don't understand what they mean and NOTES as follows:
1, they said the name on the application changed of which both the old value and old are the same. So this effect I don't understand what it mean.
2, photograph- best shot after 3attempts
3, school in canada- Conestoga college-229 soon valley drive Kitchener
4,student ID-8134967
Furthermore, I want to have full understanding of the gcms note before raising another application

Kindly send...I will do my best to review

My brother got admission in to Fanshawe College in Ontario for PGD via a travelling Agent and all payment for school fees was made via the Agent. He was denied visa early last year and he deferred his admission till September. He later had to defer his admission again till January because he didn’t get a response from the embassy about his visa application. Unfortunately he got denied late November and we’ve been on her neck for the refund of school fees till now.
Yesterday she’s told us she has gotten an alert of 2.8mllion for the refund while we paid a total of 4.3million to her. I have tried checking the college refund policy and I still don’t understand why the money is been reduced from her end. Pls has any one have such encounter with Fanshawe College before and how about there refund policy because we feel she’s scamming us due to the 4months it took her to get back to us.

Mr frank
Was thinking can I just tell my company to transfer the amount they wanna give me to my personal account, so then I wouldn’t even need to show my company bank statement at all.

Please find attached a picture to help direct you. Use Tolu Ruth's direction from the picture. And it's from CMS.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

You can use your company as a home tie. You can say you put someone there to manage it while you're away and will need to come back immediately to continue running it.

I'm sure someone else will help out more, but your company could be a strong home tie.

Cheers.

What is the name of the program?

and you don't need a Coop permit yet, until the second year of study depending on what you are studying.

Josade69:
Hello house,
Please how can one apply for the study permit and coop permit together. I'll like to do so as my master's course has a coop semester attached to it.

I would also like to find out if one can do additional work (not coop) while you are a student using your normal study permit, and how soon after arrival can you start work (the work is in the u university's health facility, so it's not a graduate assistant ship). Thanks guys for your expected responses.

The part that some thing about "previously" travel is Phased out on the Pic-grab, re capture to resend.

I will quickly point out here in my sarcastic way, the desperate way we want to travel out of this by falling into all sort of troubles.

I have someone on my neck right now hell bent on college...

I gave my simple advice, "college is 10% Visa Assurance! They insisted we try, and the college policy is that they pay 10,000 Dollars for admission letter!
I advised against it but they insisted.

Let us be careful and slow to act.
