dannydenzy: I think the bro is referring to a letter from your supervisor being addressed to the consular officer and not a funding letter... 1 Like |

WEIRDPC: A little over 6 million still not enough for your education even if no dependent. To cut the chase, just pay up and give them a receipt. You will shut their mouth at least in regards to issues of finances, leaving you only purpose of visit which can be defeated usually with a good SOP. |

dannydenzy: So what did you decide to do now that you were refused? You are correct, funding letter or just a letter from supervisor saying he is eager to have you commence your studies will add nothing to the equation of whether you are qualified. The supervisor's letter means nothing. The best strategy is to alow a sleeping dog to lie. Allow them to do their work before they start construing you as desperate. |

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by OFFICIALAEL: 10:15pm On Nov 07, 2017 |
Good day all My question to the house is. Does having a certificate, e.g. the Microsoft server 2012 certificate in particular, affect being selected by a Canadian college for a PGD course in Network infrastructure. I plan to sit for the final module of the Mcsa certificate (412) in December but someone told me having the complete certificate will reduce my odds of gaining admission. Is this true in anyway. Thanks |

WEIRDPC:In other word your uncle's closing balance was #7mil. Well from everything said I haven't see where you mentioned the out your uncle and mom pledged, I mean the amount each of them will be putting towards your studies for the first year. Things like that have to be spelt out thoroughly. Issue of funds is easily tackled, just make sure you dot all the i's and cross the t's this time. 1 Like |

WEIRDPC:What did you fill as the sponsor in the CIC form? If you wrote any other thing than "scholarship" or "research assistantship" (or something making it 100% obvious that you are fully funded) then the VO will not know to look for your funding letter. Was your funding amount (exact numbers) and length clearly stated in your admission letter? Contrary to what others have said, a research assistantship is treated as a scholarship for funding purposes. Several applicants in the past have gotten their TRV with N2m-N4m in their accounts given that they had full funding (something like N5m in an account would be best tho). VOs treat full funding the same, whether it be via a traditional scholarship or full research assistantship. If you had full funding, there is zero reason to pay your fees beforehand. You need to provide significant clarity to the VO about your funding. Please answer the above questions about what you filled in the forms and the amount and length of your funding as stated on the school documents you submitted to the VO. Funding letters from Canadian schools are a much more credible form of sponsorship than your parents or any sponsor you can find. Canadian universities are not at risk of defaulting on your tuition payment. I couldn't emphasize this enough. Of course it's still important to have your own sponsor to show that you have funds for your transportation, or in case you lose your funding at a future date. @osemigho your help is needed here. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

thesoj: Thanks. I stated my uncle and mum as sponsor in the cic form. My tuition wasn't stated in the admission letter . An additional letter was provided for my RA. it wasn't stated on my admission letter. I provided an additional document that stated the fee information for my studies. This letter was attached with my admission letter |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by thesoj: 4:07am On Nov 08, 2017 |
Yep. To the VO, the info on your CIC form is a very important summary of your application. If your CIC form showed no inkling of your sponsorship, and your admission letter mentioned nothing of your funding, then it wouldn't be surprising for the VO's eyes to have glazed over the funding letter. You need to make the VO's job as easy as possible. Put the most strategic information in the most important places. Also, what did you write in the "Funds available for your stay" box?

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by thesoj: 4:16am On Nov 08, 2017 |
WEIRDPC:Where does the additional 20k come from? Was this obvious to the VO? In your next application, I'd suggest you add a table showing a summary of your tuition & living expenses as well as your sources of funds. Each line item would have a description. Sorry about your denial, but you will be able to fix this. In your next application, assume that the VO is lazy. Make everything crisp and abundantly clear. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by jnyuwa02: 5:19am On Nov 08, 2017 |
thesoj: Looks like you are not up to date on recent trend. CIC discretionary exercise is not static, but a moving target that changes with the times. Normally TA or RA position should suffice as part of the overall funding. But recent observation compels the believe that CIC does not treat RA and TA funding as a full scholarship or even part of an applicant's funding package. The recipe you recommended won't work. Why do I say so? Because it has been tried by an applicant right here on this forum. He had "full funding" comprising TA and RA position at Simon Frazier University. But none out of the full funding was a scholarship. In the part on the form that asked who would be responsible for his school fees, he put the name of the university and the words "full scholarship." What was the result? Denied for lack of sufficient funds. So there you go. And your reasoning on indicating full scholarship so that the VO will be sure to look for the funding letter is wierd. Shouldn't the review be based on the totality of the evidence presented before the VO? There is one case on this forum again that I have seen where an applicant completed the wrong amount on the column that asked for finances (you are suppose to fill out money you have for the entire years of your study). The applicant filled out only one year, which would seem to say he had not enough money. Yet the VO was able to go and look at the amount on his SOA and deduced that he had enough money for all his years of studies and granted him visa. Ps: my advice for people with TA and RA positions is to capitalize on the strength of their personal finances, even pay up if you can and give VOs the receipt. The candidate with full funding comprising RA and TA that got denied that I referenced, has taken this route now. He is no more claiming "full scholarship," but now capitalizing on a sponsor. I think he will succeed. Maybe the VOs have now changed course because of the phrase they often use in their denial: you have not shown that you have sufficient funds to study in Canada "without working." Just a thought. 1 Like 1 Share |

jnyuwa02: Great submission Jnyuwa, Please if don't mind, does Uni of Sask (MA Public Policy) have scholarship/funding for their international students intake? Just to say though...International Affairs is broader than Public Policy grad studies...I understand why we can't do the comparison. Thanks for the heads up though... |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by jnyuwa02: 6:25am On Nov 08, 2017 |
TEECANN: Yes University of Saskatchewan and University of Calgary have full scholarships for their public policy programs. Be ready to write a mind blowing thesis proposal though as the competition is pretty fierce. About four to six fully funded spots each year at USASK open to both internationals and domestic students. |
