Hello All,
I got a visa denial today. I applied ( paper application)for study permit on September 7th and I did upfront medicals.
Reasons for denial: Travel history
Personal assets
Family ties in Canada and home
County.
Documents submitted: Admission letter, Sop(3pages), my parents landed property documents, birth certificate, sponsor SOA, letter from my sponsor which is my mum, my mum’s company CAC, birth certificate of my Mum, my Passoport; and I have previous travel history. So I really do not understand. I’m just confused. I paid my Tuition of $7,000 already for one term. I graduated in 2016 B.SC Economics I applied for a Pgd in Finance at Fanshawe College.
Pls what do I do?
I’m thinking of reapplying

Ishaq96:
Please what’s the duration for msc admission processing for university of New Brunswick, any applicant here ? Or Alumni?.

You will not need to collect an official work permit (hard copy like your study permit) to work 20hrs/week as a student. Just go to the nearest Service Canada Centre to you and ask to get your SIN number. Go with your international passport and Student permit. As a student with a SIN number, you're allowed to work only those number of hours. Please do not exceed working hours ever. I know better now. Except you mean a type of work permit separate from that which is associated with a study permit.

I applied for MEng in 21st July I got acceptance letter August 23rd.

Ishaq96:


Please is there an email I can reach you on? Or number?

sflamez:


Why can’t someone exceed the working hours? Pls share more light on it

Hephzibah2018:


Not just someone, a foreign national who is a student must work only part time hours (20hrs/week). A person with this status is expected to face their studies, which they must have described as their primary priority in their study visa application. You can only work full time hours ( 40hrs/week) during holidays ( Christmas, Easter, etc.) and when the school is not in study session.

From what I saw on my correspondence letter, I think this stated on the study permit issued at point of entry. Co op work permit should also have been stated in your application, with an uploaded document showing it as a requirement.

I am interested in this application cos I am also going to Fanshawe (travelling in December).

Your application is ok, I think you will just need to work on your LOE. Make sure your LOE links the direct befit of your course to your mums business. I would say redraft your LOE and submit next week.

I noticed you did not state you submitted your own SOA. Was the maintenance funds in your mums account or your own account?

Did you attach your receipt of fees paid? Why PGD? Was it 2:2 you had in your Bsc?


The maintenance funds is in my mums account.
I’m going for a pgd because i’m changing my course of study from what I did in B.SC. B.sc was in Economics and I want to do finance. I had 2:1 in B.SC

Oh you are changing course... I see. Then I think your LOE should adresss this properly. Also, With a 2:1, it is expected you would go for masters. So you need to clearly explain why you are going for a PGD even though you have good result that qualifies you for masters.

I had a 2:1 and got a visa for PGC logistics and supply chain management same Fanshawe College. So it is very possible to get a PGD or PGC visa provided you give good reasons for doing that.

Can I suggest you write a good LOE to explain clearly why you are changing course. Can you also try and link the benefits of this new course to your mothers business and that you will be coming back to manage the business?

Please don’t let your LOE be too long.

Quick question, your mums account, was it her personal account she submitted or company’s account?

Company’s account
