@thesoj, I totally disagree with you that prayer has no effect(referin it as a placebo). If it doesn't work for you, at least, it works for a greater number of us. Nonetheless, my unreserved gratitude still goes to you and every other person who have contributed enormously for the growth and purpose of this thread, may God reward u all!

I hail everyone for here o, @SOJ does it make sense if my sponsor(Dad) transfer 5000000 into my personal account for submission and I still submit his personal account n fixed account of over 6M as well?

Agreed. My point was that there isn't enough data to conclude that VOs are denying more people. Most Naija applicants are not on this thread, and the number of total apps on this thread during this time period is very low compared to, say, last July. For this reason, the data is too sparse to be useful in reaching an all-encompassing conclusion.

Well, I don't think is about the plummeting economy. Our economy wasn't even strong before..so not valid enough. The only feasible reason I can say is that, they might want to scrutinize the level and quality of education one is going for, or the Quota might have been reduced!

You are welcome.

@prayer, if it worked every hardworking poor but pious Nigerian would be rich already. But we can agree to disagree. Read about confirmation bias.

Edited: My intent is not to bash religion/prayer, my intent is to communicate that preparing an intelligent and compelling application is the best way to considerably reduce denial risk. Prayer, I suppose, can be a complementary tool for psychological encouragement and calm. But what do I know!?

Yes, very ok. Just make sure that your dad refers to said transfer in his sponsorship letter (and attaches proof of the transfer receipt). You would also do the same in your SOP or a short "description of finances" letter.

You have a good point.

Calm down bro/sis. The recent frequency of denials is probably due to availability bias, i.e. those that get approved don't come on the thread to announce it, but those that get rejected need help so they are over-represented on this thread. Availability bias/heuristic is a very common statistical bias.

Thank you for your response. please saying home tie what do you really mean. Everything that proves am a Nigerian plus my assets and my dads assets. I sent a copy in my application. I am single obviously with no kids. what else could i add?. Thank you. Plus no school would give me a Msc admission coz of my third class Bsc. hence i chose a PGC. isn't that a valid reason? thou i did not state this phrase in my soa

When they say home tie, they mean a viable pull factor in ur home country. Something that will dissuade you from remaining in Canada after ur studies. Sadly, ur assets and dad assets, Nigerian identity documents are not pull factors. People without even bicycle in Nigeria have had successful visa application. Anyone can remain in Canada even with assets in Nigeria.. Viable home tie can be a family back home to return to, a good job prospects waiting for him/her in home country etc.

Please can anyone help with list of schools that are still accepting application. All the ones I have seen ended on March 15 and they said they are no longer accepting admission application into graduate program.

princey83:

I know how you feel. Canada visa has always been like that right from when I completed secondary school about 17 years ago. It has never been easy. During the 90's. they sometimes don't even bother to open your pack before denying an application. You said this is the 4th denial. Why don't you try a different country? in my own case, I eventually studied at a different EU country, I now used my MSc to apply for their federal skilled workers program as it was called back then, and was successful. If God says you would eventually be in Canada, you would still get there one way or the other even if it's not by the popular way. Do not narrow your studying abroad option to Canada. You could try other countries too. It is well.

thank you sir,
already planing to port to another country,still waiting for a more convenient country to fit in for my course,that won't pay much compared to canada,will appreciate if you know of any,mechanical eng is my preferred course though.

How much did u pay at the visa office for the 3 of you.

Thanks!!!

My mum, me nd another girl did biometrics but the triplets didn't do cos they re babies

That is absolutely true...

I know of a 33year old graduate since 2009 that ot a visa for a PGC in sheridan college on Feb 16 so don't let us think everybody is bein turned down

@arcayo I am not trying to earn praise in showing or proving that I am right.
I would have decided to quote one of your post where you said you wanted to pay tuition to prove your purpose of visit to the VO in your next app but I don't have that time

I only quoted that so you'll be more convinced that isn't a solution so you'll transfer your energy elsewhere

Dbnagato:




Thank God u're not the visa officer...
Btw no box was ticked as regards to why it was refused.

I know no box was ticked. I am surmising it was more than just because they didn't want to approve your application.

Jackson755:


hmmn. i have opened the link and the website. can i do this myself from Nigeria? . ALso under visa Office column do i select Nigeria or Ghana?.
Also is file number the same thing as application number?. Thanks

Visa office... Ghana
File number is application number

Dbnagato:

@Dbnagato, I don't know where you got that link or maybe you just want to add to Jackson 755 current issue. @Jackson 755, your ability to pay attention to details matters a lot when it comes to immigration matters. Someone posted earlier that it cost CAD 5 to apply for a case file and another person is sending you a link with $46 fee and you cannot even ask questions. I have applied for those case files for my friends a dozen times and YES it cost only CAD 5, here's the link: https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/privacyTerms.do

Please I beg you quote me

You asked for this....

Whatever you meant there that is not the reason you were denied on purpose of visit.

Channel your energy elsewhere

Arcayo:

Please I beg you quote me

Arcayo:

I will advise you to pay, I think my refusal was based on that (purpose of visit) cos I didn't pay the deposit to reserve my sit, which means you might not attend school after you have ur TRV

Check the bold sentence please, I know you are doing ur NYSC with the CIC in Ghana that's how you knew the reason for the purpose of visit

Guy enta Germany. Easier admission. Easier to obtain visa. Free tuition. Engineering hub of the world. More technologically advance than Canada and more engineering savvy than Canada. Great engineering schools. More robust economy than Canada. Biggest economy in the Europe . You can also transition to work permit after studies. Better wages than Canada etc

With this I have seen you're bent on lighting fire....if u know me u will know I have ur size
I rest my case for more sensible people....

please listen to him

Excellent advice. Germany is an excellent backup plan. Don't know if I agree with your arguments about Germany being better, especially as you ultimately will need to learn a new language (tho a lot of their MSc programs are in English) as opposed to Canada where integration would be easier. Yet, I wholeheartedly agree with you that it is an excellent second choice to Canada because of its excellent economy, fantastic engineering tradition, ease of staying after school, and more.

Jackson755:
Wow
even after paying full fees and having goof Financial balance. Hmmn. My guess my brother u should have applied for Msc. I was also denied too but with your CGPA i feel you can get a Msc admission. I chose a PGC cause of my third class degree. even with my well travalled passport and expirec n valid visas. I was denied. I learnt my mistakes thou. I would reapply again. I guess u should apply for a Msc then add like birth certs of ur siblings and plenty prayer. Guess many need a refund from ur school or if they can transfer the fees to the new school u plan to apply to which i doubt the possibility. cheers mate

@Jackson. Can you please avail me your SoP to help in preparing mine. Thanks in adv. johnabayomi6@gmail.com

I need a sample of a letter of explanation, LOE or SOP for application for TRV. This is my email ajibade.kehinde@yahoo.com

My brother. Thank you. I know someone said 5$ next thing i got a link saying another. I would put this in to my people there. Thank you.

Hi guys, I just want to know: has any unemployed person ever gotten their study visa to canada? They tend not to give anyone who's single and unemployed. can an unemployed and single person get visa without owning property or shares e.t.c

A friend just got refused, i wonder why. He used his uncle with diff surname who gave him a very active acc with bal of 9m and total deposit of 400m. Could d refusal be cos he submitted a month after d acc was closed?

Hello house, to my own little study about the canada embassy I think they process application now in lagos, cos ve seen 3 pple who recently apply and it takes just 4 weeks to return there document. A frnd was there yestday and the mail he got frm vfs was this... Dear ********, Visa application,Tracking Id No. 20160318******* – has been forwarded to the Canada Visa Office, Lagos on 18/03/2016. I think normal it should be Accra ghana.. not visa office Lagos

You have to show you're employed or reasonable busy over a period of academic idleness...

If a refusal isn't based on insufficient funds try not to think in that angle...
As I dont thnk CIC woud deny you on purpose of visit when dey feel u don't ha access to your sponsorship funds..

Look at other areas for reapplication
