Nogen:

Of course yes! Schools in Canada don't need your NYSC certificate.

Greetings Bosses, you guys are doing a terrific job here. I was a silent follower on this thread for long but I reached out to guys here when my first TRV application was refused back in July. My second application has just been approved. We Bless God!

Here's my timeline:

M.Eng (Electrical Engineering, MUN)

1st Application: May 5th, 2017 (Paper route), linked it online.
Refused: July 7th, 2017 (Insufficient Funds for tuition fees, Purpose of Visit, & Travel History)
Ordered GCMS Notes immediately and it arrived on August 9th, 2017. VO said i was being sponsored by a third party (my cousin), limited evidence of relationship on file, limited travel history and weak evidence of personal financial establishment.

Meanwhile, it was a fully funded admission, i had to stress that in my second application while also tackling the above reasons.

Second Application: August 28th, 2017 (Paper route), linked it online.
Medical passed like three weeks later (same upfront medical i used for the first application)
Application updated November 14th, 2017. Approved (I checked my profile the night before (13th) and review of eligibility had not started)

Special shout out to @Thesoj; As soon as i got my admission in March 2017, one of my guys in Canada advised me to read all your posts from the beginning and i did, very enlightening. Thanks Boss.

Very big thank you to @Maziude 1 of Ottawa who reviewed my LoE and pointed out areas where i sounded desperate, Lol. Thanks Boss!

Special thanks to @Austinpee4, @Mcobex & @Jnyuwa02 for their inputs and advice on how to tackle my refusal reasons. I'm grateful.

I believe my Scholarship was overlooked in the review of my first application because of the way i filled the financial section of my first application form but @Osemigho's post on that subject ensured that i didn't make the same mistake twice. Thank you bro!

I'm happy to answer any questions and to help anybody in need of some guidance.

Cheers Bosses.

Osemigho:

Fully funded students maybe denied on home tie but I think that will just be part of finance. So long you are single with no dependent, full scholarship I.e funding that equal to or more than your school fees+10,000 cad from Canadian university will zero any doubt of finance. Cic recognize the scholarship well for student visa and even Express entry.

Although I used family, landed property and family as home tie, I have seen fully funded students with no job or property but family get Visa.


History of this thread reveal that some past fully funded students present account as low as #300,000 sef but they emphasize full scholarship from their school in their visa app.
That's why I called out the last scholar that was rejected here to tell me how he filled the fund part of his CIC forms because I was convinced he did the mistake I noted earlier.

If it's about having tens or hundreds of millions in account, people like myself shouldn't dream of Canada. Full funding is made for indigent scholars like myself. Goodluck to any that has it and still struggling to find millionaire sponsor. You Better don't waste your time!

Just my ten kobo that I have to share. I'm not talking about the funding issue again. Thanks.

Nzo1:

Thanks Lagos2canna.

I didn't pay fees, please see my post below on the issue of third party sponsor.

Cheers.
please what documents did you show to prove relationship with cousin

dannydenzy:

Thank you bro for this. I am in the same shoe. I had full funding but was refused financial reason, family ties and purpose of visit. I PMed u.

quote author=Nzo1 post=62395234]Thanks bro.

First Application:

Scholarship amount: 16,500 CAD per year, sponsor declared 5,000 CAD per year.

Tuition: 3,717 CAD (per year)
Room and Board: 10,000 CAD
Other: 4,256 CAD
Funds available for my stay: 21,500 CAD.
My expenses in Canada will be paid by: Other
Other: (1) Scholarship (Grant) (2) My Cousin.

Second Application: Here, my cousin wrote a letter of support (not letter of sponsorship) stating that he was aware of my full scholarship but that he'll be supporting me with 15,000 CAD per year to ensure that i have a stress free stay. I stated in my LoE that i didn't need any additional funds considering the scholarship but that the additional funds was to cater for any eventualities.

Tuition: 3,717 CAD (per year)
Room and Board: 10,000 CAD
Other: 2,000 CAD
Funds available for my stay: 31,500 CAD.
My expenses in Canada will be paid by: Other
Other: Full Scholarship.

In my LoE, there was a section titled Financial Requirements where i wrote the breakdown of Funds Available: 1. Scholarship (16,500 per year), My Cousin (15,000 per year). Total: 31,500 CAD per year.

On the issue of third party sponsorship, my cousin wrote a more elaborate Letter of Support, stating why he was supporting me and i provided more proofs of our relationship and evidence of his previous supports (though i provided this in my first application).

Also, in my LoE, there was a section titled Further Explanation Concerning Previous Refusal: Here, i stated that the reasons given for my previous refusal were bothered primarily on Finance which came as a shock to me considering the full scholarship from MUN. I also stated that i believed there was an oversight in the review of my previous application because the scholarship wasn't mentioned in my GCMS Notes, that the scholarship amount was more than sufficient for my studies and that i didn't need any additional funds but nevertheless, i had additional funds.

I also increased my personal account balance from like 100k in my first application to like 1.5M in my second application.

My people, Scholarship is not a curse, you just need to stress it in your LoE but you need to show additional funds.

Igbouwanile:

It isn't, were u sent to do medicals? & have u tried reaching them to know whatsup?

favourqueen:
@NZO1 please what proof of relationship did you show as regards your relationship with your Cousin, please, thanks

My people, please what extra steps can someone using PGD/PGC take to get approved? Please this is really important (especially if one can't get into M.sc program cause of low GCPA)

I will really appreciate your opinions
