taminat:
PPR! Third time is the charm.

I had extensive and clean travel history, employment history, solid proof of funds but i had zero home ties and to make matters “worse” i had just made a career change. My refusals were formed around home ties and purpose of visit which i unsuccessfully tried to address with SOPs and study plans for over two years. I couldn’t conjure home ties where there was none neither could i continue in my old career. I was at a fix and my second refusal baffled me so much that i angrily decided to push it to the back burner and carry on with my life and career as they were. Every single time that i had to declare these refusals on any visa application made me feel like a failure all over again. It felt like i had good intentions to study but because i had no immediate family member in nigeria i was been judged and also being punished for changing my career. I was helpless and i hated it!

As it is with strong desires regardless of passage of time, i found myself on this journey again more determined than my past and i secured 3 admissions. Winnipeg’s PACE was my preference but my admission came late after i had made my tuition deposit to my second choice. I decided to engage a consultant to do the rest because I didn’t want to be emotionally invested and bogged down like before so i refused to put myself through it again.

My personal and professional circumstances had changed over the years so we put our best foot forward. They drafted my sop, i reviewed it, made minute correction and approved it. We applied without nse requirements since co-sponsor didn’t have mbs. On the submission date, i prayed for speed and good news and specifically requested for my application to be finalized before the end of July. Today, i praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Application submitted-21st April
Upfront medicals- 21st April
Medicals updated-19th May
Eligibility and ghost updates- i have no idea because i restrained myself from knowing
Ppr- 21st July

Documents submitted
Admission letter, 10k tuition deposit receipt
Proof of funds- Real estate documents, employment documents of main sponsor and myself as well as bank statements, payslips, introduction letter, e.t.c total funds exceeded nse requirements.
Personal documents such as birth and marriage certificates
Academic documents

God bless everyone who answered my many questions and reviewed my sop’s even as far back as part 5 and everyone who gives back to this thread. Lekiboboe’s posts guided me in my program applications, Insanity’s 2020 post guided me in my pp submission today and so many other posts that have proven insightful and helpful. I hope everyone on this thread experiences even greater joy than i have today and those who have had refusals find the resilience and assistance needed for a successful reapplication. Amen.

@frankrobn1 please my gcms note come back blank. No pre assessment note. Sent web form last week. Eligibility started Wednesday with one ghost update. Also got a letter from Nairobi. My application in under review but can say when decision will be made... just generic letter.. And I am to resume Aug 13th...

Sorry for the delay. Wait for the gurus here to guide on how to tackle the refusal well.
It will surely end well for you in your reapplication by God's grace.

feistymikey:
Good morning guys, my study permit application was recently refused. And this was the only reason when I ordered my gcms notes. How do I tackle this please?

Secondly, I’m supposed to resume by September, I’m thinking of deferring but my course is only available for September resumption.
What happens If I change my course? Will I have to write a new SOP, and change all my information??

Congrats

BUSINESS education 2018, nysc experience as a teacher , i chose to study CURRICULUM STUDIES at U of Saskatchewan with 3.47 , pls I'd welcome suggestions for a sku i hold a chance of admission

There is actually no Canadian University you can be rest assured of an admission spot, it all depends on the Graduate school application package you submitted if it's strong/airtight or not, cos the competition for graduate school in Canada is high, and there are lots of international students who have good academic standing, research experience etc.

Though your overall 3.47 CGPA is not a 2.1, but if your last two years CGPA is strong e.g if you had high CGPA's in your 400L & 500L (a cumulative weighted average of at least a 70% (e.g USask grade system equivalent) in the last two years of study (e.g. 60 credit units),
you might stand a chance for admission, cos Lot's of Canadian Universities emphasize on the LAST TWO YEARS CGPA requirements a lot, but it's not always about CGPA, your ability to convince a Professor of Curriculum Studies (in a particular research area) that you would be a good fit in his/her research group is what you should work on.

Since University of Saskatchewan is one of your Choice for a Masters in Curriculum Studies, try to look for Professor in that Curriculum studies faculty and let him or her know you are interested in working his/her Research Group.

See the link below, you would see PROFESSORS of Curriculum studies at the University of Saskatchewan, with their Research Focus being listed, then do your due diligence on them before Mailing them (Cold Mail)
https://grad.usask.ca/programs/curriculum-studies.php#Researchsupervisors

How can you do your due diligence?

In best interest, take your time & go through the contents in the link below so you can prepare & package yourself for a Masters Admission in Curriculum Studies against 2022 admission intake (Apply the scenerio there to your own field of discipline)
https://www.nairaland.com/6567181/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/321#103487629

There are other Universities in Canada offering Masters in Curriculum Studies (over 14 universities), in order not to put all your eggs in one basket by focusing on only University of Saskatchewan, see the link below and do your due diligence on the other schools one by one

https://www.universitystudy.ca/search-programs/?k=Curriculum&program_level_merged=Master%27s+degree&program_language=ENGLISH

Good luck!!!

Canada student visa na just luck

Testimonytime:

Thank God for the rain of ppr yesterday. I pray it fall on those of us at the waiting room in Jesus name.
Please , I will appreciate answers to the following questions

1. Is it possible to pay my second semester fee through Form A?
2. If yes what do I need to render to my bank?

Thanks

Yes you can, but you're limited to a maximum of $15,000 usd quarterly.

You'll need to tender
1. Letter of Admission.
2. Educational certificate.
3. International passport.
4. Authorization letter from the intermidiary (in most cases)
5. Can't remember again o.

Guy I got this message after submitting additional information for my application which would be 2months on the 29th of July, 2021. I submitted this additional information few days ago because I didn't hear from IRCC since they sent me submission confirmation letter on the 29th of May. Please help me out guys! God bless you all!

Endeavor to send it again via webform and mail

Rbae:
My cousin has a B.sc In Industrial Relations and personnel management. An agent we paid hugely applied for a diploma course for him last year and his student visa application was denied in January. He was heartbroken...i was sad too .

I was advised here to get him a GCMS note. My cousin in Canada got us an immigration lawyer and we were able to get the GCMS note.

He has reapplied for Graduate certificate in Global business management now tho.
Below is my cousins GCMS notes. Please, what can he do to have a better chance this time around? SPONSOR IS 3RD PARTY.

The reviewing officer was not satisfied that you are sufficiently established in your home country to leave Canada at the end of your study based on the below points:

Item 1 - Purpose of Visit

Item 2 - Assets

So sorry about the outcome of your cousin's application. While you await response from the Gurus, based on the GCMS notes, it's very obvious there is no Academic Progression in your Cousins Application, that is, his Job and education is not related to what he studied which brought about a Wrong Purpose of Visit to Canada (To Study)

Also, the qualification of the Program he is going for is lesser than his Educational Qualification. That is, a B.SC Holder going for a Diploma. Those who follow this path (BSC to Diploma) and got approval are just lucky. It is not advisable.

That being said,
- Does he have a 2.1 or 2.2 ?
- Is his work experience related to Industrial Relations & personal management?

What a wawuuuu! This one has exceeded showers of PPR! Thank you Lord.
Congratulations to the recent celebrants, Canada will favour you all.

Shawn, huge E hugs to you, delay is never denial, please fireback whenever you can after dotting all your I's and crossing the T'ees.

This is quite painful, please be strong ok, it's just a delay and I know you'll surely testify soon.
You know the first thing before further step is getting your gcms note, you would have been in a better state by the time it arrives. Stay positive please

It isn't compulsory, as we have seen applicants getting their PPR without the submission of NYSC certificate...

Not submitting it wont lead to a refusal as there are more important documents look out for in an application..

And at the same, it is a necessary document as there is no harm submitting it..

Peace..

olajigaolamide:
Is it compulsory to submit Nysc certificate?. I realize I did not include some document

My dear!!! Guess you are sleeping well these days. Our own eyes have plaster till the 2 beautiful mails drop.

We will laugh and rejoice soon. Thanks B
