Good afternoon house, long post alert!!! My journey to getting SP started in August 2020 and has now ended in praise to the glory of God. I will be detailed in this post hoping that someone can learn from it, same way I learnt a lot from other people's post on this platform. To the gurus @frankrobbn, @justmellow and others, I hail oh... See timeline below: 1st Application - Submitted on Aug. 28th 2020 - Biometrics done on Sept. 2nd 2020 - Refused on Sept. 12th 2020 Resaon: Purpose of visit In gcms note: VO stated the following: 1. Study gap (despite the fact that I'm studying an MBA with a specialization in Professional Sales and Business Development) and I have over 10yrs of work experience in the business field, out of which about 7yrs is in sales/business development till the time of the application. 2. Age which was 34 at the time 3. Fact that I got a US tourist visa in Jan. 2017, had a child in the US with the visa in Jan. 2018 and my visa renewal was refused in Oct. 2019. Na so dem write oh and no be sey I owe money oh, all relevant documents were provided and I visited the US in June 2017 before having the baby there in 2018 but as Trump no gree renew the visa in 2019, wetin we go do? 2nd Application - Submitted on October 28th 2020 (This was before I received the gcms note because I was trying to meet up with January 2021 start date but thankfully, the issues raised were already addressed with proper documentation because I had joined this platform by then. Thanks to all the gurus). The only document I didn't add was "Change of Intent" email that I sent to the US Embassy in Nigeria after I decided to use my tourist Visa for child birth. - Upfront medical passed on Nov. 20th 2020 - NSE request letter received on Dec. 1st 2020 - NSE requests submitted on Dec. 13th 2020 (used this opportunity to include the left out document and carefully explained it in the brief LOE submitted with the request. - Refusal letter came on January 24th 2021 Reasons: purpose of visit, ties to Canada, financial status/assets, language test. Gcms note stated the following: 1. Application pre-review comments stated that I had a child in the US and my visa was not renewed afterwards, hence, my intent to study was in doubt. I was livid seeing this because an application had just been wrongly judged even before going through the facts and documents provided. 2. The VO's comment was practically thesame as the pre-review comment so it became clear to me that the refusals were purely based on bias because of the child birth in the US and the visa renewal refusal - see wetin Trump cause. By this time, I knew it would take more than a re-application to tackle and clear the bias. I needed to do more so I decided to do a JR. - JR commenced in March 2021 - My lawyer had 30days to file all documents - All documents submitted by April 2021 - IRCC correspondence had 30days to respond - Response letter received in May 2020 and stated that they will not do any filling but they retained the right to file if the Judge decides to hear the case. (Sounded like they were trying to buy time but I didn't find it funny at all). It was a long wait before the Federal court judge responded - Sept. 15th 2021 - Judge responded that based on documents provided in the application, he can't understand why the application was refused and scheduled a hearing for Dec. 8th 2021. - IRCC correspondence conceded upon receiving the judge's response, requested to settle out of court. - They decided to set aside the refusal decision, reopen my application and have another VO review it. I'll also be allowed to submit updated IMM forms, LOA and any other documents I deemed fit to support my application. - At this point, my lawyer advised that I should pay a substantial part if my school fees if not all and I did that. - Also, I had renewed my UK visa for 2years while in JR process cos I was planning a vacation and I included this to show that I do not have any immigration issues. Also added (as argued by my lawyer in her submission) that the US refusal was based on the then US government's ban on African countries including Nigeria and not because I did anything wrong. - This time, I didn't submit an LOE to explain my conditions but a statutory declaration with bullet point to address every concern/explain every point and it was notarized and sealed by the Canadian lawyer. Application reopening timeline: - Profile update on Sept. 30th 2021 - Request for updated documents on Nov. 3rd 2021 - Documents submitted on Dec. 1st 2021 - Medical request received on Dec. 8th 2021 (exactly 1 week from the date of submission) - Medicals done on Dec. 20th 2021 - Medicals passed on Dec. 29th 2021 - PPR received on Jan. 12th 2022 - Passport sent through DHL to VFS Lagos on Jan. 20th 2022 (I was out of the country when I got the PPR, submitted as soon as I returned) - Received 4 emails on Jan 24th 2022 confirming receipt of my documents in VFS Abuja office and confirming it's been sent to IRCC office - Conterfoil and LOI dropped on Jan. 26th 2022 - Also received 4 emails confirming that my decision envelope is ready for collection on same 26th - Received a mail confirming that my decision envelope has been received by VFS Lagos on Jan. 28th 2022 - DHL delivered my passport in the morning, today Jan. 31st 2022. N.B: Compare the responses on Jan. 24th 2021 and Jan. 24th 2022. In exactly 1 year, I was smiling about something that got me worried and angry. Stay with God regardless of your current situation, He is too faithful to fail and He loves us too much to ignore. All thanks to God, it has ended in praise... I wish all PPR hopefuls all the very best and reasons to smile as God fulfills your heart desires this week and beyond. 45 Likes |

Good afternoon friends, hope we are doing well. Pls I need help on this email I send to Supervisors to get a school in Canada, I have sent them emails, but no response and some deadlines have past. I dnt know if my email to them is in correct order, I also send my CV, TRANSCRIPT AND CERTIFICATE. Below is one of the letters I sent, I also posted my CV. Pls gurus in the house, pls help me �� Dear Prof. Fred Gaidies My name is Okafor Onyinye Augusta, a graduate of Physics and Industrial Physics, with second class honours (upper division, CGPA 3.84) From Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, Nigeria. I am a candidate for the MSc Earth science program at the University of Carleton to begin in Fall 2022. The department assigned you to me as my Supervisor. The purpose of this e-mail is to enquire about the availability of masters graduate student positions in your lab. I am interested in the research you are conducting on the kinetics of rock forming processes like nucleation, crystal growth and chemical diffusion and how these processes contribute to the mineral content, mineral chemistry and texture of a rock. The basis of my interest in your research is due to my scientific interest in hydrocarbon exploration, and how these hydrocarbons build up in rocks (mostly sedementary rocks). Your research interest in the spatial distribution of mineral grains in rocks would provide me with informations about the rock and fluid properties, and 3D seismic images, all of which are used to develop 2D and 3D maps and models of the subsurface and the distribution of petroleum resources, and to calculate volumes of oil and natural gas that exist in different areas. I currently run a registered petroleum company : REHOBOTH INVESTMENT AND PETROLEUM SERVICES LIMITED, and the Service I carry out is to source Diesel (AGO) from Depots and suppliers and deliver it to the end users(Hotels, Schools, hospitals, and banks). Working with you as my Supervisor will help me achieve my dreams of growing my petroleum company into an exploration and production company. I believe working with you would expose me to all I need to know about hydrocarbon exploration from rocks. I look forward to joining the petroleum company over there in Canada and thereafter establish my own company, thereby contributing to the energy sector of the country I have attached my CV, CERTIFICATE and TRANSCRIPT for your consideration. I look forward to hearing positively from you as the deadline for submission is near (February 1st 2022). Thank you for taking the time to read my e-mail. Kind regards, OKAFOR ONYINYE AUGUSTA 2 Likes |

If yes, did u demonstrate relationship between yourself and sponsor satisfactorily to prove the funds will be accessible to your through the duration of your studies? Did you include an affidavit of sponsorship? Did you include the sponsor source of income? Did u include your own bank statement? If you are self sponsored, did you have lump sums in your bank statement that were not explained? Did you include your own source of income? |

angel4sure: Hi, Did the school really assign you to the prof? How? I need to understand your first paragraph well. Secondly, your second paragraph is slightly confusing about your purpose and interest. You can break the paragraph and simplify your statements by removing uncessary words. To remove unnecessary words, read the statement to yourself loud and ask what is not necessary e.g. Your version I am interested in the research you are conducting on the kinetics of rock forming processes like nucleation, crystal growth and chemical diffusion and how these processes contribute to the mineral content, mineral chemistry and texture of a rock. My simplified version I am interested in your research on the kinetics of rock formation and how these processes contribute to rock texture, mineral content, and mineral chemistry. Simplified statements are usually very easy to read and comprehend. Some Canadian professors overlook them and are willing to train you on it as part of your graduate study. Many professors expect you to know how to write at the graduate level before you start your graduate program. The second group will reject or not answer your email if your writing is not at their expected level. You also mentioned that the prof is interested in spatial distribution of mineral grains. That threw me off for a second because it complement the first area of research interest but it slightly different. I think the problem here is that you may or may not understand the prof real area of research interest. You will have to read the prof summary of recent journal papers or books to really know what the person is interested in. Finally, you mention your distribute diesel and want to join Canada petroleum company before you establish your own. This is a mismatch of purpose because a masters of PhD is a learning platform provided by universities not petroleum company. Most supervisors also prefer people that want to be researchers like them. So it might be a bad idea for you to say otherwise to them before they accept you. Don't get me wrong. Like many of us that came here for masters in the past, we no dey do PhD. Many of my PhD graduate friends are also working professionally and not interested in the academia. Like an interview skill, for most professors to accept you as a masters or PhD student, you may need to tell them you are highly interested in the academia, PhD, Journal publishing, and all those things. Don't misinterpret me. Your writing is not bad. You just have some "Canadian" writing style to learn. You will learn and improve them when you get here. You can also use tools like Grammarly to help detect and correct your writing errors and complexity. All the best. 11 Likes 2 Shares |
