Hello house gud afternoon. Pls I need advice. I have been denied once for student visa last year October. A family friend was my sponsor. Reasons for denial was insufficient funds. And I requested for a GCMS note to know my actual reason. Pls am suppose to have applied again but my sponsor then is no more showing interest. And I don't have any relative or parents that have money. Tho my sister is in Canada with husband and 3kids. But they have not really gotten a good job to act as my sponsor. Pls what should I do? Because I feel if I apply again I will be given this time. But my challenge now is to get a sponsor. Pls advice me house. Thanks

Hello House, please I need help. I want to know my chances of getting a visa to Canada, I was in America a year ago for masters but my grade was low in d first semester, the skool gave me d second semester to make up for d low GP but I did not go back because I was having problem with funds, this was even part of d reason I couldn’t give my best in d first semester, although I switched field. Now everything is back normal, I will like to apply for a PG program in Canada, at least I will know d basics of d new field before I proceed for masters, any chance of getting a Visa? Thanks

Online applications can now be process in any Canada visa office in the world.
4 applications recently approved in London

Lotusboi:
Like you have stated, you have been denied visa because of insufficient funds. You have also stated your challenge which is, lack of a sponsor. Unfortunately, we can’t suggest sponsors for you. You have the responsibility of seeking a sponsor.
It may be a family member; Father, Mother, etc
Distant relative: Family friend, Uncle, Aunty, Second Cousin
A company or even a scholarship.
I won’t suggest a student loan
The next plausible issue you’ll face after finding a sponsor is showing home ties. Your sibling is already in Canada. You aren’t so financially buoyant, if you do have lands and properties that would suffice but asides that, I would suggest you handle both issues at once in order to have a seamless application. Goodluck.

Lotusboi:
Question needs more light.
What was your undergraduate programme?
What course did you enroll for masters at the US?
Are you a recent graduate or how many years ago did you earn your undergraduate certificate?
Are you employed or have relevant working experience in the proposed PGD you wish to go for?
Finally, what do you wish to study at PGD level?

I believe if you can answer these questions, the experts would offer probable solutions and answers.

This must be good news! Out of curiosity, how did you find out about the 4 Nigerian applications processed out of London?

jnyuwa02:


I have never seen you here before. But you are nailing things on their head! Keep up the good job!!

CATESTIMONYMIDE:

Hello e-family
Applied for my SP 7th of dec and it was refused 29th Jan due to insufficient funds after ordering my gcms, I saw the reason as lump sum deposit.
So am preparing another application and I made the following changes

Paid sch fees for One year PGD/17k as my first application I paid 7k .
All cic forms
Letter of introduction from my workplace.
10k bank draft deposited at Royal Bank of Canada,for accommodation and upkeep.(bank also issued letter)
Sponsor statements and affidavit of support
2nd sponsor docs and statements (bro who got PR)
Landed docs
Upfront medicals
/police report.
LoE
SOP
School docs
New LOA for fall semetser

I believe it's God that gives visa,
Am re-applying online so please wise men what am I leaving behind... Edakun oga @frank, jnyuwa and others

Lotusboi:
Yes you can apply without paying school fees. In fact you should apply without paying fees because you’re running out of time as you’ve rightfully said. Payment of fees is not a guarantee for visa as the elders have spoken. Show proof of funds that whatever the fee estimation that was sent or shown in your acceptance letter or student permit letter is available and also an allowance to show the sponsor would not suffer or have issues with his responsibilities after payment has been made.
As for Carleton university fees are sent once registration has been completed which starts sometime in June. I’m assuming the same goes for UOttawa because some departments have a joint program between both institutions. For more inquiries contact grad admissions of your school. Wish you the best.

Thank you.

Just an advise, In my view, an "insufficient funds" denial is one of the easiest to get out of, so long as you are able to verifiably show funds in your name beforehand. Pay one year tuition and show $10k in dom account in your name, which you have effectively done.

It is also indeed possible to get denied for other reasons even if the first denial was just for "insufficient funds". I know it sounds contradictory to the previous paragraph but let me explain how I think you can avoid this (as long as your next application is of same or better quality as the previous). Edited: Disclaimer: this is not a guarantee o, as I am obviously not a VO.

Ok here's what to do: Write a separate "Letter of Clarification" stating the reasons why you were denied last time (list it as bullet points so it is easy for the VO to read in case s/he isn't paying attention) and what you have done to fix it (write this in another set of bullet points showing each step of what you've done).

See the next post for an example format (modify it to your needs but I don't suggest you copy it exactly)

In doing the above, the VO is likely to not treat your application as a fresh application, but as an application that has already passed CIC rigour and only wasn't approved because of finances. Keep the letter in a very visible place in your application, if you submit on paper put it on the page right after your CIC forms, or right before your SOP. If online, put as the first page in the LOE section, and maybe even another copy as first page in Finances section. You want the VO to see it before over-analyzing your app all over again

Dear visa officer:
The purpose of this letter is to demonstrate how I have addressed your concerns about my previous study visa application. My previous application (UCI # xyxxyxyxyxyx, application date: dd/mm/yy) was refused for the following reasons:

x insufficient funds to pay for travel
x insufficient funds to pay tuition
x insufficient funds to pay living expenses

Here are the steps I have taken to address your concerns:

x paid $17k for one year tuition (see attached bank transfer receipt and university receipt)
x 10k bank draft deposited at Royal Bank of Canada,for accommodation and upkeep.(bank also issued letter), ensure you explain how you got this.
x first sponsor statement, worth $... (see attached )
x second sponsor statement, worth $...(see attached)
You can as well include your personal account.

My total annual expenses for my program cost $27,000, the total amount paid for my tuition and 10k bank draft deposited at Royal Bank of Canada, which is equivalent to $27,000. Please, endeavour to increase the funds available if possible in order to show you are financially capable.

My sponsor's up-front payment of my tuition as well 10k bank draft deposited at Royal Bank of Canada,for accommodation and upkeep demonstrate both my availability of funds and his commitment to sponsoring my Canada education. The total funds available for my stay, including paid tuition, living expenses funds in my dom account, my savings account, ... is $.... which is more than sufficient to cover...

I look forward to the opportunity to studying blah at University of blah, so that blah (i.e one final sentence to remind the VO about why you wanna study whatever you are going to study... only include this sentence if you have something concise and compelling to say.)

Thank you,
Mr. Ajanlekoko

LOL! Don't be, last i checked, there's no VO on this platform. Everybody shares based on experience or what "should" work. The best applications have been denied too. Keep trusting God and hope for the best. Meanwhile, start checking for the cost of your flight and make other arrangements. That's how faith works. ALL THE BEST!!!

Daacorpaapi:
God bless you sir for this hint. Ameen
Why I didn't include my personal acct is I finished nysc Nov 2017 and got a job late Jan so dont have much, cos the pay is not much. Should I still go ahead and include it sir ...
