I don't get it. Are you talking about spousal work permit (sowp) or express entry (ee). One of the conditions for sowp is that the applicants spouse is based in Canada either as a citizen, pr or student . I stand to be corrected tho. Please enlighten us.

ayooluwatoni:

Memorial University of Newfoundland. But it's not about the cgpa alone. Sometimes they require that u have at least "B" in your last two sessions of UG program. Then your SoP is also a major factor, i think it's more important than ur cgpa sef..... just take your time to carefully read through the department's minimum requirements. I wish you best of luck

Fablady:


Congrats Supermum! What program are you going for?

davidgreener:
Good day all... Please, my co-sponsor declared a certain amount of money, should my dad (sponsor) do the same??thanks

thesoj:
Yes your friend can reapply so long as his new application is different from the previous one. It will not be an automatic rejection assuming your friend at least meets their minimum requirements. I have friends who reapplied and got admitted into schools that initially declined them an offer.

irosemma1:
hello , pls help a brother. i have a bsc computer science and want to apply for PGD in bus admin or bus management in a Canadian college.

a friend in canada said i should apply for a PGD related to my first degree for visa purpose, but no college is offering PGD in IT related field for jan. admission until September. should i just apply for the bus admin?

hayqinsbFX:
So I just got to vfs office, and I wasn't surprised

They only removed length of proposed stay from my first refusal.

Travel history
Current employment situation
Purpose of visit
Personal assets.

CIC should stop speaking in parables anymore, I know what they want and I'll it to give them
Even if it'll take time I'll apply with a masters or a graduate certificate from a university in my next application.

You are really close to getting your TRV, as these reasons are usually the easiest to fix. My sister got delayed for these two same exact reasons, and she was able to get her TRV in her next app.

My recommendations for you:
1. Pay one year's full tuiton
2. Pay one year (or half year) room and board
3. Write a Letter of Clarification (different from your SOP) summarizing the changes to your application, highlighting that you have paid the full annual fees of your program with receipts attached. This Letter would be the first document in your "Proof of Funds" section.
4. (optional) Create a spreadsheet or table detailing annual expenses vs funds available. This would be a concise summary of all your expenses, and all your sources of funds. It will make it easy for the VO to comprehend your finances.

Also, I would recommend that your sponsor and all co-sponsors in their letters state exactly how much they would be contributing to you annually. The total of this amount (or the total of their bank statement balances, whichever looks better) is what you would write in the "Funds Available For Your Stay" box. Also don't forget to include documents on the sources of funds (e.g. employment details and income) for all sponsors.

Question: in your previous application, what did you state as your total annual expenses? And what number did you write under "Funds Available For Your Stay"?

@ gravition2..what did u state in d forms as funds for tuitions, board.........others and availaible...the place asking u who r ur sponsors wat did u fil dere....

Also did all ur sponsors write a detailed summary abt dere relationship with you and d exact amount dey r leaving out 4 u..Also dere source of incomes..

Also can u top ur dad's acct to say 8-10m...and also get a Fixed deposit certificate dat matures at time of resumption.......say 3-4m....dat way u might not even need to use a co sponsor..(suggested cos it worked 4 some frds dat way).

It's well

Graviton2:
...Total expenses as stated on my letter of acceptance:
Tuition: 13,614
Room and board: 8,681
Other: blank

Funds available for my stay
52,000...

Jhennyaiko:
Will going to the vfs assist me in anyway to solve this issue?
I need to get a medical form for my medical examination. Didnt get any sent to me when the medical request was sent.

thesoj:
I see an issue: CIC requires that you need at least $10k CAD for room and board and other expenses. I would recommend you put $10k CAD in the room &board category or put at least an additional $2k CAD in the "Other" category. In your app, you only put $8,681CAD, which is less than the CIC requirement.

In a couple hours, I will describe both the Letter of Clarification as well as the spreadsheet. Can't type much now.

Graviton2:
The $8,681 is the exact amount written on my letter of acceptance by my school for the room and board.

ahyotomiwa:
@ Gravitation 2
Other: Blank...(never leave blank...this is where transportation, little procurement and other miscellaneous expenses come in..Even if u have more dan enough funds available and you leave it blank, you are telling them that you sponsor is not ready to support U in this portion even with the enough money available....sometimes expenses encountered in this region are even more than tuition sometimes (HERE TOO, TRY FILL IN A MINIMUM OF 10,000-12000)

I BELIEVE THEY WUD ALWAYS CHECK UR FILLED FORMS FIRST, SO ONCE U DONT FILL THEM WELL, D PROOF SUBMITTED WUDNT EVEN MATTER WEDA DEY R PERFECT OR NOT...

@berexio1 I agree that it doesn't have to be exactly $10k. But the total (of Room&Board plus Other) definitely should NOT be lower than $10k according to CIC. @Graviton2 should play it safe and follow CIC's clearly stated requirements on this one. This is one of the issues he should fix.

berexio1:
I agree with u as I also stated same thing u said here..Bt I think putting 8k there is not the reason for his refusal...

TheBae:
I don't think it's advisable to put the total of the bank statement balances as the funds available for study. If possible, there should still be about 30% of the total funds available for study left in the accounts + good inflow and outflow of cash. No one will use their life savings to sponsor him (at least that's how the VO may see it).
