Teds:

Thanks, will try this. I got an additional sponsor, included my statement of account, worked on my Sop to properly describe my course to be same on d school's website and also explained hw I saved as mucch as I did in my account

Nice one..Why do I get a feeling that these VOs test one's resilience. A lot of peeps give up on 1st denial..How much did ur SOA reflect?

What was the level of the course you applied for? BSc? PGD/PGC? Diploma? Advanced Diploma?
What is the name of the course?

It's really not funny o. My wife just delivered in the state(United state) so I hv to travel. However, I was given 30days to complete my medical. Called a centre in chicago but the fee is high. It about $400. What do u think?

I have read situations here where they gave 30days and didn't even wait for 14days to be over before refusing sb..Some medical call carry diff periods bt I like to go with the lowest which is 14days. If its possible to do it there, then why not? $400 is the price u have to pay then pay it bt if u wanna wait till 9th dec, its still fine. Bt be ready for any outcome.

Its a business diploma course i applied for so as to have knowledge on how to run the proposed business. Not yet in Nigeria. Its a new business that is not in Nigeria.. I applied for it so that i will be able to run the business successfully.

Did u experience same situation as regard d approval attachment? About 350k o. I just thank God for favour!

Well, yeah the VO likely saw your application as a ploy to flee Naija. Getting a visa for a business diploma course (which is way below BSc level) is a very tall task given that Nigerian schools offer similar business courses, given that you already have a BSc, and given that admission to such a diploma course in Canada is very very easy. The VO would highly doubt that the business diploma course would be significantly different from a similar course in Naija... this raises significant questions about your intentions.

Now if you had extraordinarily strong ties to Naija (e.g. you already run a very profitable business, you have a strong travel history to OECD countries, you own valuable property, and/or have wife & kids, etc) then maybe your application would have a much higher chance. But it doesn't seem that you have any of this so it makes sense that the VO did not find your application plausible. Sorry about that.

If you say that you want to go to Canada to learn how to run a "big business" successfully, then you need to be able to make an argument to the VO that the program you are going for would indeed equip you with the skills. Even me, I am not convinced that a business diploma course would sufficiently teach you how to run a "big business" successfully, let alone a VO.

You would have a better chance with an MBA admission or a graduate diploma program that is specifically targeted towards running big businesses (you would only likely find such program at a university's school of business/management).

If you've exhausted all options, then consider emailing CIC to ask them.

Yes. In fact the letter of acceptance expired this November.

Thanks... is it advisable to apply to another school with another course in computer science? i already have 2 admission letter in 2 different schools. one in programming and the other in networking.. can i use any of them to reapply?

Hello house I wish to know if study permit is issued at vancouver port of Entry. It is cheaper for me to go through vancouver than toronto to my destination.

Ojekkk:

Yes. In fact the letter of acceptance expired this November.

An eye opener, I would have used my previous admission. Instead, I had to wait for a new one..Anyway, u still have to get a new one for winter. I hope u av re-applied or differed. What if the deadline to re-apply is passed?

Not everyone that gets into the country enters Toronto..So whateva route ur covered..

Don't treat this as a gamble. Make sure you can justify to the VO whichever program you use to apply for your TRV. The burden of proof on you is of course higher if you are applying to a different course than your BSc, but it is not a big deal as long as you can sufficiently justify it to the VO. You can justify your chosen course through your BSc or work experience or any other undertaking that you can write about (with proof).

Several people on this thread (including yours truly) have explained over and over what is necessary to address to justify your purpose of visit. I would recommend you not rush to reapply so that you can read the thread. You could go through all my postings as I have addressed these issues dozens of times. Also go through the postings of people like @Team12 @Khalesi @ayooluwatoni @tnuola etc, or just read the whole of Part 7 or 8. At this point it sounds like you are not sure what you want to study and why. First think deeply about this before you rush to reapply.
