Frankrobbn1: Hello Room!
I was going through the thread and I noticed that most applicants were refused of their study visas based on the following grounds shorlisted on this post and this has given most of them sleepness night, some have decided to quit the Canadian dream and end up having the mindset that Canadian study visa is tough and can not be easily approved unless you use an AGENT, some even go as far as paying millions to AGENTS just to get their study visa. I must tell you that it is a lie, most agents even go as far as complicating issues for applicant, which most times lead to misrepresentation and a 5 years Ban. After reading this post, you have to get up to your feet , beat your chest and do things in the right way and get your study permit app approved Asap.
RECENT REFUSAL GROUNDS:
1-) Purpose of visit 2-) Current employment situation 3-) Personal asset and financial status. 4-) family ties in Canada or home country.
In this post I'll address the above reasons and give POSSSIBLE WAYS to tackle the concerns of the visa officer.
1-) PURPOSE OF VISIT -
It is important that your visit coincides with an important event in your life or the purpose of the visit can be reasonably explained in your SOP. If it is for study you must have qualifications in that field or have the expertise in that area. Most times, your job role or company should be relevant to previous studies and to your chosen field of study in Canada. If you decide to change career path, it should be clearly stated on your SOP with compelling/strong/ and convincing reasons to why you decide to change a career path.
Your letter of intent should reflect the following and should be addressed in each paragraphs to avoid repetition. 1-) Describe your academic background briefly. 2-) Why you choose Canada not Nigeria. 3-) The school. 4-) The program of choice. 5-)How you intend to finance your studies in Canada without working. 6-) What you intend to achieve at the end of the program and how it might benefit you in the future.
Everything should point to 'studying in Canada' not working or visiting friends and family in Canada or securing a PR after completion of studies.
Address all academic backlogs, study gaps, study plans etc... on your SOP.
2-) CURRENT EMPLOYMENTSITUATION
Every embassy will like to satisfy themselves that the applicant has a gainful employment in their country of residence and that the prospects of getting a job when they loose their current one is high. That satisfies them that you won’t leave your job when you travel to their country. Canada’s High Commission is no exception. You need to prove to them that you’ve been working for at least 2 years continuously, you earn a good salary, say CAD$400- CAD$1,000 plus a month depending on the level of your education, you have leave to travel, and you are qualified for the job you are currently employed in. So add your CV, school certificates, previous and current job offer letters, leave letters, pay slips and introductory notes from your firm to evidence your employment.
3-) PERSONAL ASSET AND FINANCIAL STATUS
Like most embassies, the Canadian High Commission will also be interested in your finances. Show a 6-month bank statement or more for any Canada visa application; both current and savings accounts, showing your salaries or income from employment. If you have treasury bills, building society savings, mortgages, microfinance or credit union savings and the pass book or certificates, share investments in companies etc, add all to prove you have enough financial resources before and after your trip. There is no cut off bank statement figure. So try as much as possible to show your monthly inflow and outflow of salaries in your salary bank statement with a good closing balance as a proof of financial establishment.
4-)
FAMILY TIES IN CANADA OR HOME COUNTRY
Prospective travellers who were refused with this point wondered why they should have a family in Canada before being given the visa. Note that the full statement is “family in Canada OR family in your home country”. So its either you failed to prove each criterion or both criteria, that is, whether you have family ties in Canada or whether you have family ties to your home country. This is what you do :
Show sufficient ties to your home country i.e. what will compel you to return home?
1-) Do you have a spouse and kids(minors) and are you leaving them behind? 2-) Do you have elderly parents who depend on you? 3-) Do you own businesses/property that you need to continue managing? 4-) Do you have adequate funds? 5-) Do you have family members whom are not accompanying you to Canada?
All these mentioned are HOME TIES, so if you have any of the following listed, endeavor to show evidence to each of them and make sure you add it to your application.
The above information is Legit and was obtained from a Canadian Legal personnel.
I wish you all Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
All the best to the hopefuls and to the approved, CONGRATULATIONS!!!.
Nice one bro. Kudos |

please ill appreciate input on this jibb3rilz: Hello guys,
I am sure I have appeared at the American embassy before but I can't remember the specific year because it's over 10 years (2002 - 2004). I can't remember if I did UK visa too at the time of submitting documents to ups and visa collection at ups. That should be between 2004 - 2005. now my question is this, I want to apply for student visa in Canada, what should my response to have you ever been denied a visa before be when filling the form. thanks for your help guys |

Hello House,
Please I need advice...
I have read different comments here but none has really addressed the issue of whether to pay the University's tuition deposit to get the Letter of Acceptance in order to process Study Permit or to pay 1 year tuition. Which would you advice I do? Would not paying the 1 year tuition affect the approval of my study permit?
Please help! |

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by cyborg27(m): 4:39pm On Dec 20, 2017 |
Osiokoye, Why bother? Your application will go thru the faculty to the department and back to the faculty. Then their decision will be made known to you. Did you say fall 2018? You still should not bother. The status will change as the file goes from one stage to the other. Just pray for a successful outcome... Cheers!

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by Nobody: 1:02am On Dec 21, 2017 |
Hello everyone. Just got to Canada about 24hrs ago. Cold for here no be play. If you are coming here for the the Winter term, PLS BUY ENOF WINTER CLOTHING ESP ONES WITH HOODS, GLOVES, HEADWARMER & BOOTS. Canada is beautiful and desirable. I flew Ethiopian and landed in Toronto. No problems with customs, immigration and Border Service. Very friendly and respectful folks. Pls bring enough money along as our Naira has little or no value. FX rates at the airport is not that profitable compared to the Banks. Make sure you obtain your Study Permit and SIN before leaving the airport.
The people here smile a lot and are eager to help even if it appears they don't understand your "thick" accent. AGAIN I REPEAT, PLS BRING ENOUGH MONEY. Housing is pretty expensive here esp if you are not earning yet. Also, buy the things you gonna need (daily needs) from Nigeria to save some cost till you start earning. If you can, buy the adaptor for the 2.slim pin plug type ...that's what they use around here. Above all, pray for God's favour. You are gonna need lots of it. 15 Likes 1 Share |
