Re: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by thesoj: 10:19pm On Sep 05, 2016 |
I think you may have gotten denied due to the likelihood that the rapid devaluation of the Naira caused your sponsors funds to fall below your $29,200CAD total annual costs. When you applied, the Naira was stronger but the VO looked at your app after the Naira had weakened considerably. Sorry about that bro. Let me know if this back of the napkin analysis holds true. michV: |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by thesoj: 10:28pm On Sep 05, 2016 |
This isn't correct actually. The inflow is not as important as the balance. The balance is what is important! This is stated on the CIC site; at least one year's full tuition plus 10k CAD should be in the bank account (or other liquid form). Also, we have repeatedly seen on this thread that an applicant without the sufficient funds in his/her sponsor's account will very likely get an insufficient fund denial. I don't know why the inflow-outflow argument might be seen as important. Cash is king in the eyes of the VO, and I've never heard of any embassy in Nigeria taking the inflow-outflow more seriously than the account balance (for student visas specifically).

thesoj:my mentor! My guess has been revolving to ur sentiments though my program is a 1yr Program.all conversions were made as of the time/period i applied in reference to the rate of cad to naira.but what confuses me is people i met on this forum who left for Canada recently on MEng programs which has no funding and never paid tuition dime during their applicaton got granted with a sole sponsor having such closing balance and also having equivalent total funds as mine if the paid tuition is included.i ll wait for the outcome of my GCMS note which i have already applied. |

Bro you didn't make a mistake by expressing your emotions on this public forum. As humans we all are emotional beings. This thread is also in a way a support group, so please don't let anyone tell you that you did wrong by expressing your frustrations or having a backup plan; this is just being human and being wise. I hope things get better. Also, you have been extremely valuable to many on this thread. So rest assured that you have knowingly and unknowingly helped people get their TRVs. Unfortunately life is extremely unfair but just keep pushing, better things will come. michV: 4 Likes |

It is indeed possible that some VOs are more lenient with masters applicants. But the thing is we can't yet make that generalization because there may be some masters applicants that have been denied for the same reasons (and in the same situation) as you. Remember that we only have a subset of applicants on this thread so we don't really know the overall statistics. Plus, every application is different and every VO is different as well. michV: 4 Likes |

Ministry? Anyways, first I'd recommend you don't spam the thread. You have posted the same long post several times in a few minutes. Secondly, your questions show that you need to acquaint yourself with Google.com. There are so many people willing to help on this forum, but there wouldn't be anyone here to help if no one was willing to do any research to help themselves. Help yourself.

thesoj: No apologies sir. What we have stated is fact based on information obtained from CIC contact center in Canada. You and other monickers can go ahead and continue to express your opinion based on your idea as to how you think things work. May be the agent at CIC contact center is wrong while you and the other monickers in NL are right. |

Re: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by Nobody: 11:08pm On Sep 05, 2016 |
thesoj: Thanks for your response boss. I'm very grateful. Actually I just concluded that. Buh. Few things I do not really get and that was why I intend to ask the questions. Few schools I googled most of I saw 86 and above for toefl and considering my toefl which is not up to that. Moreover, does one need to. Submit bank statement also or its after admission has been given And cgpa! What are my chances as well. Hope its not too low boss. Going for Msc Geography 1 Like |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by thesoj: 11:08pm On Sep 05, 2016 |
The CIC website supercedes what any anonymous/unknown agent at a CIC contact center supposedly said. Not asking for an apology, and none needed. Your statement that you cannot obtain a study permit at the POE with another school's admission letter is categorically incorrect; now a debate can be had about if it is a wise thing to do, but that's a separate topic. lawmerchant: 2 Likes |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by thesoj: 11:15pm On Sep 05, 2016 |
I can already tell that you didn't read the content of the link I sent you. The post that the link directs you to contains information about how to search for schools in Canada. It will take you a few minutes to type your course into the university search website (embedded in the post) and then browse the department's admission page to see their toefl cutoff (or if it is even required). You will also in the same way find out if they need your bank statement and more. As per your CGPA, you meet the minimum requirement for most schools but this doesn't guarantee admission. You need to write a fantastic SOP and get really good recommendation letters. OJCITY22: 1 Like |

thesoj: Truth is VOs believe Masters is very valuable and easily understand purpose of going for a master at huge expense but not so with pgd, therefore we see frequent denial based on purpose of visit or insufficient fund for pgd/c application 1 Like |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by thesoj: 11:27pm On Sep 05, 2016 |
Sure, it is probably easier for a VO to understand the purpose of visit of a masters student than for a PGD student. But this doesn't automatically translate to assuming that every PGD denial is victim to this possible [and, unfortunately, justifiable] VO bias. Tarry: |

Ok, great. OJCITY22: |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by Tarry(m): 11:29pm On Sep 05, 2016 |
OJCITY22: for Msc many canadian school do not require toefl, so don't have to bother yourself too much on that You don't need bank statement for admission only when you want to apply for study permit to help you with your cgpa, just as thesoj said, you need to come up with good sop and reference and probably contact a faculty member who will be willing to supervise you |

So when i got to my POE (Vancouver), the immigration officer mistakenly put University of New Brunswick on my Study Permit instead of University of Northern British Columbia. I pointed his attention to the error and he non-chalantly said "The school on it doesn't matter". With that experience of mine, i can say 'One can (may) change school at POE.' cc @Lawmerchant thesoj: 3 Likes |
