I regret to hear your visa was rejected.... There are trusted websites you can use to order your GCMS notes. This forum strongly prohibits the advertisement of third party websites. I will urge you to check the internet as well as the reviews of people before using any site to order for your file.

Also, do well by sharing your profile: Your intended program, previous studies, level of education, sponsor, institution, as well as the refusal grounds etc.. This will give us a clue on what went wrong with your application and possibly advice you on how to prepare an airtight application.
It shall end in praise
Amen

Application refused after BVL.....
This is the second Application.

Bro was it with upfront and was it passed?

Without upfront medical.

Good evening gurus
More power to your government.
I got some sad news today.
I submitted study Visa application on 13th june and got only 1 mail saying my biometrics is validated then another to pick up my passport.
My passport was returned on the 15th August with no visa and no refusal and a note to send an email to the Canadian embassy in Nairobi.
A VFS official told me it's a refusal and i should get the email soon, however in my online profile the message is that a decision is still pending.

Do i order the GCMS note now or wait for a decision to come out?

All my friends like 4 confirmed now got this same refusal letter.
What is happening?
We are all rejected for the same reason?

Sorry bro for ur refusal, even me self couldn't read to the end because I was lost, work on ur articulateness dear, I think the more direct to point, the better... I could sense u trying to make the same point in too many ways , luckily u have gurus here to help,I no many might think I'm unqualified to give this advice but trust me on this, I'm sure of what I pointed out, I'm literally good at writing, all the best.

This is my second refused Application.

I insist Canada can't practically let in all applicants, they must have a limit per year, I think the target should be to apply earlier for a better chance, that's my thoughts anyway.

Frankrobbn1:




Yes you can change over to any course or institution in Canada after a Study Permit has been issued provided that you've received an official acceptance letter from the college you're intending to transfer to in Canada. However, you need to inform IRCC about this change via your MyCIC Account through this medium https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/change-schools/account.html and also proof that you've officially withdrawn from the University. That being said, you don't need to apply for a fresh study permit.

Thanks for this info. Really appreciate it.

I’m very sorry for those that got disappointed by the refusal(s) from CIC. I know how saddening it can be but don’t be depressed by the current outcome of your visa application. Someone once said they give same generic reasons once they’ve completed their quota for a stipulated period of time.

Repackage yourselves and reapply. Delay is not denial and it will surely end in praise(s) for y’all.

@Blije, what’s up? Have you heard anything from CIC? Is there any other June applicants in the house that’s yet to hear from CIC? I’m keeping my fingers crossed and I believe it will end in praise!

Good luck to all hopefuls!

Hello dear, are u currently working?? Why previous work acknowledgement letter?

***MY OPINION:

Firstly, your SOP was very decent in terms of grammatical structure.

However...

- Your sentences were extremely long. You were dragging sentences. E.g "After completion of my study in Canada..." to "fast-paced tech ecosystem'. "The research I made..." to "...experience first-hand". You should know when to end sentences, some were unnecessarily long.

- Unnecessary explanation of what Computer Networking entails. From "The ease and speed by which..." to ''...without the need to visit physical locations" : The V.O is quite busy and doesn't want to know what the aforementioned course's description is neither does he/she want to know what it means to you. It's like asking someone "Why do you want to eat rice" then the person says "Rice is unique because it can grow in wet environments that other crops cannot survive" - good to know but very unnecessary... what if I knew? (vague statement)

- You told the V.O how you found out about Fanshawe, you didn't talk about what the college offers nor the programme. Instead you talked about how poorly structured the curriculum in your previous study was. The goal is to focus more on the present.

- You were very confident of earning at least three times of what you earn now when you return back, upon completion of your programme. Essentially, you're doing it for the money not passion (not an offence). What if you return back and don't earn at least three times of what you earn now? Speculations like that should be avoided because you can't prove to the V.O that you'd earn 3x of that upon your return.
Furthermore, so if you get 3x the offer in Canada, you're likely to stay back?

- Your second to last paragraph... "In my spare time..." should have been in the first paragraph (After introducing yourself) In my opinion, that sentence was also unnecessary because no one really cares what you do in your spare time if doesn't really connect the dots of your motivate of going to Canada. Let's say you watch pornography in your spare time, why wouldn't you include it? - It's not wrong to watch pornography but it doesn't relate to your current situation. It's just like putting your experience as a chef when applying for a Software Engineer role at Apple. You playing football with friends on Saturdays doesn't relate to wanting to study Computer Networking.

- You didn't tell the V.O why a BS.c holder with such wonderful networking qualifications is going for a PGD. (With your experience and qualifications, you should be going for an MSc to show career progression) You should have convinced the V.O why PGD... that's where the pros about your intended programme and Fanshawe College would have come in play, instead you said the only reason you applied was because of your 'personal research' based on basic(weak) reasons . You could have talked about the facilities or something catchy.




The most basic structure for good SOP:

- Introducing yourself
- Why this programme (maybe areas of study)
- What it would offer you (maybe co-op opportunity, technical skills)
- Why Canada? [what you'd bring to Canada (your Nigerian university knowledge and experience because Canny is multi-cultural)]
- Upon completion, what next? [talk about how your programme is profitable(is there a demand?)]
- Establish strong home ties (talk about your sponsor ...let's say your dad. Let it cover why he's sponsoring you,
no one cares what he does in your SOP, he's not an applicant.)
- Conclusion (link the reason you're being sponsored to why your course is relevant and profitable and end it on a strong note)

Talk about your other documents (preferably after you've said yours sincerely or thanked them for their consideration and anticipated cooperation) and put page numbers (Your V.O might fall in love )

*If you had a good BSc grade and you're going for PGD, explain the reason(s) after you talk about your intended programme. Normally, as a genuine student, you should go for MSc not PGD.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you require more clarifications.

TLDR?: OP has a BS.c degree (I assume he graduated with at least a decent GPA), experience and other several related qualifications. He's going to a college for a PGD (Post-graduate diploma) instead of an MSc. He didn't attempt to convince the V.O or explain why that route. Hence, that led to a vague study plan because he's overqualified and his intended diploma programme is just a means to escape to Canada.

Part of OP's GCMS note:
"Given family ties or economic motives to remain in Canada, the applicant's incentive to remain in Canada may outweigh their ties to their home country"

- Economic motives (BS.c degree and other certifications)

However...

nonipeter:
Please Frank my dad have very low statement of account but he have a housing property of forty million naira that is rented out ,which the valuation certificate is in my custody please can I submit only the valuation certificate for my home tie please advice me well

Sure you can include the valuation report/certificate of the property as proof of your tie to your home country. However, you can't use the housing property as primary proof of funds for a study visa application since you noted that your dad has a very low statement of account. I would therefore suggest your dad should build his account to a reasonable sum that can cover the cost of your first year tuition and living expenses and have some left for his immediate family as well as his personal welfare before applying for your VISA.

I hope this helps

Your travel history doesn't really matter... but if you were well-travelled prior to your application, it might have made a tiny difference. It wasn't a major consideration in deciding your application. You're overqualified for a PGD programme and you didn't attempt to convince the V.O why such programme considering your qualifications, experience and certifications. The main reason you were denied was your vague study plan. BSc + Certifications -> PGD instead of MSc.

rippyblogger:
Good evening guys, I received my GCMS notes.


I have reviewed the application. Given family ties or economic motives to remain in Canada, the applicant's incentive to remain in Canada may outweigh their ties to their home country. The applicant's plan of studies appears vague and poorly documented. The applicant's prior travel history is insufficient to count as a positive factor in my assessment. Weighing the factors in this application. I am not satisfied the applicant will depart Canada at the end of the period authorized for their stay. For the reasons above, I have refused this application.

Nobleman61:
.....

Your refusal grounds have already been tackled and explained by me in a post as at December 2017. Kindly refer to this link;
https://www.nairaland.com/3948393/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/391#63425662

After going through the post, feel free to ask me anything and I'll be happy to assist you. Also, order your CAIPS file as that will give us a clearer picture of the reason for your refusal.

Ps: Pardon me if I'm referring you all to my previous posts, but I'm doing this so you all would know that all your concerns and questions have already been answered on several occasions on this thread for over the past 2 years plus until now. Do good by reading the past threads and gaining valuable information that will be helpful in your Canadian Study Visa pursuit!

It shall end in praises for everyone!

foliat:
Is it compulsory to upload NYSC result? What is someone does not have it as in did not serve. Just has ond and hnd certificates? I would appreciate your kind response my people.

Is NOT compulsory to upload an NYSC certificate! If it's not available! The visa officer is more concerned about the following:

1- Financial Sufficiency that will cover for your first year tuition and living expenses.

2- Your intent to study and reasonableness of undertaking the planned studies in Canada (Purpose of Visit).

2- Home ties in Nigeria and/or Canada that will motivate your departure from Canada at the end of your authorized stay.

Therefore, you can include your ND and HND to evidence that you've attained a reasonable level of education.
