Hello:
Your friend profile is good.
If I may ask what's her level of education.... BSc, PGD, MSc, phd applicant? Is her intended program relevant to her previous studies/job role.

From the look of things, she have done a good job by paying full tuition and transferring funds into a dormicarly account, letting the visa officer know that funds are readily available/accesible by the applicant and can be easily exported to Canada.?

But you have failed to list the sponspors documents and source of income.... Is the sponsor business incline or gainfully employed?

Answer these questions, then we know how best to help your friend(her) case.

Can someone direct me

Hi, i also applied to University of Windsor, and i have not gotten a response, please when did you apply and what course?

I have been carefully following the thread. I was denied today.

I submitted the application via paper route on 11th January 2018

I believe the VO did not go through my application AT ALL. Why?

I was denied on the following

- TRAVEL HISTORY - I have traveled to UK,France and US. I was in US last year i renewed my US visa for another two year. I photocopied all the visa pages and i submitted it. I don't think the VO went through the application

- FAMILY TIE - I am married with two kids. I am not going with them. They are staying here. Also my company wrote a letter to the Embassy which i submitted stating that the course am going for is a prerequisite for my next promotion. The company stated that after my studies i will come back to get a higher post. That am expected to resume back on so so day. I don't think the VO even open the document.

-PURPOSE OF VISIT - I wrote a comprehensive SOP. Stating all the facts i need to state and following the thread on SOP.
I also believe the VO did not open it nor READ it AT ALL.

The course am going for is PGD and its for 10 months.I have over 5 years working experience and currently working.

I am thinking of reapplying again

Thanks all

In linking your application online, in the section you have Given Name, you have to input both your First Name and Middle Name then your surname for Family Name. Hope this works for you because people often make the mistake of putting only their First Name where you have Given Name though I agree it should have been Given Names

hi jnyuwa02, thanks for this opportunity.

I am asking on behalf of a friend.
He wants to know the prospects of admission at carleton for Masters in Architecture.

the applicant has 2 years experience, with a masters degree (3.49) and undergraduate degree (3.59)
The main aim is to get a phd education and eventually settle.
He intends first applying for masters, then going on to phd
He is also aware of the express visa situation, and wonders if that would be better?

what is your advise?

mcobex:
Sorry for the delay, Yes you did almost everything right but you made a very big mistake going for PGD (a 10 months own at that )with all your experience. I bet if you order for your file the only reason will be purpose of visit, you have BSc already with 5 years working experience so they expect you to go for something bigger (MSc). Try and order for your file then apply for MSc program

jnyuwa02:


He can try both the express and student visa, whichever works. I cannot predict his chances of admission as a lot goes into that determination, not just grades alone. His recommendations submitted on his behalf by professors who taught him, his ability to write a compelling thesis proposal and statement of intent, his life experiences and what he hopes to bring to the table of discussion at the prospective school. Some first class graduates are often denied admission just because of sloppy essays they wrote for admission. Go figure. Best wishes to your friend.

Ps: just to issue a caveat, if your friend has a master's already, he might want to apply for a PHd. Students trying to get a second masters often experience visa denials, except they can articulate an extraordinary reason for going for a second masters.

jnyuwa02:


Hello jnyuwa02, how can one apply for reconsideration? i also feel my application was not properly looked into as i was refused based on financial grounds when i submitted an acct of 9.7 million and 3 landed properties which one was worth 25 million. please I'd appreciate it if you can drop your contact here so I'd contact you or you mail me on t.taiwo.at@gmail.com. Thanks

If you are convinced the VO overlooked certain documents you submitted, reconsideration would be the route to go, not reapplication. VOs are flesh and blood humans too, make mistakes and change their minds sometimes if you are respectful about it and don't treat it like a right. Been given visa is a privilege and they can deny you even if you are qualified and meet every criteria. Good luck. My best advice to you though, is to apply for a master's degree. 10 months course of study is not a very serious undertaking and puts a candidate more often than not, in the column of Nigerians using a course of study as a way to abscond to Canada given the harsh realities of the economic condition in the country.

Muinnat95:
Hello house, pls how can one apply for reconsideration. i feel the VO overlooked some of my important ddocs. my dad's acct had a balance of 9.7 million and i submitted 3 landed properties of which one was worth 25 million. i will appreciate responses on this. Thanks and God bless us all

ademcoboy:


Are you denied based on financial reason?

Muinnat95:


yes pls. That was the only reason

hurricanesgrace:


Same as mine, I was denied only on financial grounds and I had more than 5m in my acct, my sponsor had close to 10m and Dom act worth $50,000 and d VO still refused me.

Holabisi:

cuteesthy:
please help me ooo, I have a GPA of 3.04/5 in microbiology I intend to go for masters but that seems impossible since most school accept 2.1
I now want to go for PGD in any course related to my field, what are my chances of getting a job there after graduation and can I still apply for my masters , please can any one suggest any uni or school for the PGD program cos now am really confused, my sponsor is willing to sponsor but it's my result that is not encouraging at all.

WEIRDPC:


what's your CGPA in the last two years of study?

cecechi:

Thank you,
So she graduated from business administration and she is going for an MBA, shes presently working in a firm(via NYSC) and its related to her course of study. Her sponsor(father) is business inclined and everything relating to his business(Tax clearance, CAC, company bank statements etc ) will be uploaded as employment documents. i just shortened the long text by coining it as employment documents. .... so is she good to go

Moley22:


Apologies on behalf of all busy nairalanders here....This is a team and the journey still continues!!!
But then nobody is obligated to answer questions but only do so on free will....
Repost your questions and I’m sure you’ll definitely get a good response this time around.
Goodluck
Regards.

jnyuwa02:


He didn't really make a big mistake. PGD can be for professional training on a specific field. He needs to explain what he professionally hopes to gain and how that might improve his work status. If on reconsideration he does this and he is still rejected, he should apply for a master's. His chances getting a visa are great with a masters admission. I had worked with a fully funded candidate here who was rejected for a PGD by the VO. He didn't seek reconsideration explaining why PGD, just applied for a PHd and got in. The visa was granted expressly and the rest is history.

de95:
please I need assistance concerning post grad to canada , I have a first degree in with 2:2 grade. I am scared regarding the visa I have no travel history , how much funds would I need in my bank statement .i am also going for pgd. I just need useful advice am really discouraged
