Send a mail to info@gcmsnow.com stating that your note has exceeded 30-40 days processing time. I sent them a mail & got mine 11hours later.

Thanks
I used gcmsnotes.ca
Not so good so far

This is the last week September hopefuls can be allowed to join the Fall class and still be able to catch up on missed classes. So if after this week you still haven't heard from CIC on approval, the logical next step is to reach out to your academic supervisor and in conjunction, seek deferral to the next available starting semester. For some it is January 2018, for others next Spring in April 2018, and yet others, not until September 2018, exactly one year from now. Whatever you decide to do, this lacuna period of waiting should never be wasted. Use it to do good in society and improve yourself, brush up on skills that can be very helpful to you when you start your studies, in fact helpful whatever you do proceeding forward. Good luck!

for system maintenance they said.Should be back before the end of the day

I also have admission for same Uni to start May 2018. Do you know anyone presently studying in RRU?

I would love to make some enquiries about the school.

Jpandjp1:
Good day house,

Please I am new here but I have being following this thread. I would like to confirm something on this Canada journey. Is it true that one might/will not get a post study stay in Canada if the program is not up to 2 years. I have been offered a 18months master program in Royal Road University(RRU) and a 2 years post graduate diploma in Concordia university. I prefer the RRU offer as it relates directly to my first degree and my current profession.

Kindly advise me.

Hello all,

I was denied canadian study visa twice this year and it was really disheartening. I got admission fro. Humber College to do a Diploma in Law Clerk. I actually wanted to do a PGD in Global Business Admin but they said i did not meet the requirements (I have an HND/Lower Credit in Secretarial Studies from the Polytechnic) I worked for a year after my Youth Service in 2002 and resigned in 2004 after marriage. My husband talked me into doint business. Finally, I ended up being a full time housewife in 2014 and since then, I have been feeling less relevant and wished I continued in the secular field. Now, I dont know how to go about fitting into the Nigerian working system, not that my cv is so enticing. I decided to tow the studying abroad lane to brush up myself.

I paid full tuition fees and submitted all documents including my husband's registered company where I am a director, copy of C of O, Sponsor Letter from Company, company statement of Account and joint personal accounts of my husband and I to show proof of funds. I filled that i have about 25k canadian dollars for my travel while the company wrote that they will sponsor me in subsewuent semesters .

First denial was for; insufficient financial resources to support my self and whoever accompanies me while sudying in canada and 2) Personal assets and financial status

I defered my admission and applied again. This time I had my own personal account with more than 23k dollars apart from school fees (company still undertaking to pay pocket money per semester), company account with 80k, I added my vehicle particulars and removed c of o. This time the only thing they ticked is Purpose of Visit

I dont know if it's theStatement of Purpose. I added it in my second application as adviced by a staff in VFS office but am not so sure it looks convincing as that was my first time of hearing about such document. Humber College refused to defer. They say I have to apply afresh through ontario colleges. I still have my eye on that canada thing (I hate the thought of failure). I called one travel consultand afterwards and he said i should give up. He said my age (40), my level of study chosen, my financial status all contributed. He said I should not bother reapplying.

Please dear all, do you think it is true? I should have applied for masters? Should I give up the dream as advised? Is there anything I should do to change my situation? Why did they write that i am free to rrapply if I can respond to these concerns and demonstrate that my situation meets the requirement? Please help a worried sister

Application submitted 19/04/17, eligibility review commenced on 17/09/17. No upfront medical

Hello
Sorry for the delay.
I would advice you to look into Canada express entry thread. Never get up on your Canada dreams.

Hello boss,
1. No other way, in fact the cic website states you must have your tuition fee + 10,000CAD upkeep money. Anybody can sponsor you but they must show commitment by giving you the money.

2. See 1) above.

Give up maybe after your fourth of fifth try. For to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different result is the very definition of insanity. Just kidding. Nobody can tell you when to give up, only you can decide for yourself.

That said, your situation is not beyond redemption. Age is never a factor as it is never too late for a person to improve oneself or keep learning. I will advice you apply for a masters degree and after you get in, support your application with a very powerful statement of explanation. Talk about what motherhood has meant to you and what was instrumental in forming your decision to return back to school. Perhaps an adversity or divorce opened your eyes? Don't be afraid to talk about it, VOs are psychologist and want to discover a truthful human. Talk about your dreams and aspirations for Nigeria of bringing what you learn in Canada in global or international business to improve the condition of women and children in Nigeria by giving back. That is how you defeat "Purpose of Visit." We got a winner!

Hello ma'am.

Sorry about the outcome of the 2 applications.

You know, there are some factors that certainly would be considered when an officer reviews each application.

1.Why did this applicant choose this program?

2. What does she stand to gain upon completion?

3. Why is she not considering studying in Nigeria considering the cost ?
4. Will this applicant leave Canada upon completion of program?

Since your last application was refused for purpose of visit, it bothers around your proposed program or the officer suspects that you are using the study route to migrate to Canada rather than educational advancement. I actually can't say if you can get a master admission in Canada with your HND qualification, if you can, then you will add to your chances of your reapplication.

A diploma is actually lower than a degree which you already have. It will be hard to sell this to a visa officer unless you have extremely compelling reasons to undertake this program.
A lot of college diploma, PGD/C progams in Canada are structured for work placed demands. They are often times considered as programs to brush up your skills and hone a specific knowledge to help you perform at a particular role/profession. The PGD/C pograms also are for applicants changing a career to a different field other than the previous degree with some level of work experience(1-2). Most times, if a study permit applicant does not fall into any of these categories, you will have to convince the officer very well why you need these programs and how progressively it will add to your current situation or circumstance considering that a logical step after an undergraduate study should be a master degree.

So, if you can get a master degree admission, great. You can also get a PGD/C program as well and make a compelling case. Otherwise, it may be a little difficult using the diploma to secure a study permit. With your profile, it may not be logical.

They wrote that statement on the refusal letter to give you another chance to show that you want to study. In so doing, you MUST meet their requirements and also satisfy them that your primary intention is to study and that you will leave Canada upon completion of your program.

Regards.

Thanks, I will go check it out

You are free to use whichever format that you feel best presents your case to the VO. Do keep in mind though that here is no silver bullet formula. In whatever you do in your next application, make sure that your explanations to the VO are crisp and clear.

I don't think you'd get a faster response because your resumption date is soon; CIC doesn't seem to operate this way in most cases.

Hello Boss,
I really appreciate You and other Selfless members of this forum for your committment in helping others despite your busy schedule. Please if you dont mind, I would like You to guide me through this process. Been here for quite sometime and promise not to be a burden. I have drafted by SOI for admission and will like to run it by you before I start submitting for admission. Thanks.

Thank you so much Austinpee4,
Infact, I didnt just know what else to do to prove otherwise. I wish I had found this thread before my first application. The truth is that having left my career for so long has affected my life in so many ways. My HND result was low. I should have done PGD immediately like my contemporaries but I was sure from my husbands promises that business would pay me.

When I didnt get accepted for the pgd, I browsed the school programs and when I saw a Law related course, I opted for it because I had always wanted to do Law. I didnt know it would affect the visa approval. Should I do a PGD program here and then apply for a masters later in Canada? Would that help me?

I would say it's a good decision and a response from me would be a YES. It certainly would be a good way to show the VO that you want to study. They now have your details and once there is a significant change in situation by you pursuing the PGD in Nigeria first and later going for a master in Canada, it will show that there have been progression in your quest to advance your career since the last refusal.

When the time comes to apply for a study permit to complete the Master degree program in Canada later on, you can then add that a foreign degree in law would give you more career prospects especially with multinational companies in Nigeria as most of them would welcome a foreign trained employee because chances are that they will work well in the diversity of the organisation.(SOP hint for others).

Regards ma'am and all the best in your endeavours.
