Thank you

Austinpee4:

It's only normal to be anxious about the outcome and timely response of your application considering your program commencement date. However, i believe they will soon get back to you soon about your application. So hang in there, be hopefull and do all you can to be less worried.
Regards.

ca12:
Option 1 is the best option to me from experience. I am also a may applicant and my decision came in August after I sent the webform and sent email to my processing center at Nairobi. His visa may come in before resumption, so just wait to get a response from the webform you sent. Some times after sending the webform, they send the approval mail within some days. This was my own case

Thank you so much for your response.

ebby29:
Thank you so much Mr Frank, I already shared my details last night sir.

The afore-bolded is the main reason for your VISA Rejection!. You already had a degree with a 2.2, you're ought to apply for a degree that is higher than your already completed degree here in Nigeria. This gave the visa officer the impression that you're likely not going to Canada for career advancement but, using study permit as a means to facilitate entry into Canada and wouldn't depart after authorized period of stay.

I would suggest you apply for a post graduate diploma/certificate program that is line with your area of study in order to show a logical progression btwn your previous studies and your intended program.

The purpose of Visit prompted the rest of the refusal grounds in your application. Tackle the above and prepare a convincing letter of explanation that would demonstrate that your current situation has substantively changed to merit a VISA to study in Canada. Once you're done with the letter, you can contact some of the knowledgeable individuals here to help review and make possible amendments where applicable.

In the interim, start searching for a PGD program that is scheduled to commence in January 2020. Schools like fanshawe, Conestoga, Humber, Cambrian College are still open for winter, 2020 Admissions.

It shall end in praises.

Thank you so much for your response.
He will email the CIC offices to remind them of his application as suggested.

mcobex:
Let him email his school to give him more time(most schools give 14 days for students to resume after resumption), hopefully before then he will hear from CIC. Also he should send email to CIC again (to their Lagos, London, Kenya and Accra offices ) reminding them politely how far his application has gone.
Most passports will be dispatched in the next 2 weeks(it is a trend). As for the resignation, it is his choice, but it is 99% certain he will get his passport request

Application refused.

Applied june 20th
Refused August 20th

Hello Sashaa,

Please cheer up. This is just an experience that will bring forth positivity to your next application.

All the best!

Yes, I applied 11th of June, paper route.... I can't forget the experiences I gathered that day

Has any one tried calling that Kenyan office? Did they pick?

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.

Hello Rippyblogger,

Irrespective of the documents sunmitted as proof for your home ties and/or employment might seem substantial to get get an approval in assumptions, but might not be in terms of convincing the VO either for an easy understanding or processing (to understand the uniqueness of the application. The hindsight of the oversight boils down to the SOP.

You might be surprise and curious to finding why the VO refused your application after including the relevant documents that addressed the raised concerns of the VO. The truth is that you didn't properly dot your "i's" and cross your "t's" when connecting and relating your points in a way that addresses your application.

In interpretation of the note: the found it less convince that you have showed enough proof that you have a solid family ties in your country. If you are single, you need to show better proof other than your parents and if you are married then show proof of your nuclear family. However, outside ones parents and spouse been considered as the principal home tie, there are other solid ties that can been shown just that some of us fail to think and use the available proof around us. Other popular home ties can be landed properties, current job, propect job offer, investments, organizational membership etc.

The economic motives points to the "tangible" level of establishment in your country but not limited to the "intangible," which is how you created lucid facts about your future opportunities and benefits of the prospect course that would permit the VO to buy the idea that the completion of the program would enable you become a well-established professional with available platform to easily sell yourself in your country's labour market or otherwise (becoming self-made).

Though, travel history isn't much of a scary reason, but endeavour to give convincing reasons on it when addressing the reason. You should be unique.

If you're able to make sense of all been said, I believe you would have better insight on how to go about writing your next SOP.

Good luck!

This isn't the best way to share your SOP. I am sorry to say, at this juncture, your SOP as been plagiarized. Help yourself in your next SOP.

Good luck!

Nobleman61:
Gurus in the house, please how do I tackle this
Just saw the letter now
O my God

Hello Nobleman61,

Stay strong, I love your character of tenacity. Clearly, your SOP played a contributing role. Do well to request for your gcms notes, that's first step.

Good luck!

Good news guys!!!

My husband got the Passport request mail just now.

Also, he contacted the school and they have given him the option to resume January 2020 if he feels he needs more time to prepare since the resumption time is too close.

We have decided to submit his passport to get the visa and he will be deferring his admission to resume in January (since we do not know how many days it will take them to return his passport). This will give his enough time to resign appropriately and make adequate travel plans.

Thanks so much @Ca12 and @bex for the advice and words of encouragement given. God bless you both.

All the best to everyone waiting. I pray this spurs more good news to come

Estar400:
Hello house

Please I would like you to advice me on the best way forward with regards my husband's application.

My husband got a full PhD. scholarship from WLU and he has put forward his online application. Please see the timeline below:

Submission Confirmation - May 6
Confirmation of online application - May 6
Biometrics Collection Letter - May 7
Biometrics Completion - May 9
Medical Report letter - June 19
Medical Result - July 12
Biometrics Correpondence Letter - July 22

He is to resume 1st week of September 2019 and up until now, he hasn't received any mail to submit his passport. Also, he is yet to resign from work since he hasn't gotten the study permit confirmation and he is required to give 1 month notice in lieu of resignation.

He sent a webform last week to make inquiry concerning his application but he is yet to get any response.

Please house what do you consider the best step going forward?

1. Should he wait until the visa comes out and then email the school that he will be coming in late since he got the visa late? (that would mean resuming October)

2. Should he just ask the school to defer his admission to the Winter term (January 2020)? Would that mean getting a new admission letter and sending it to the IRCC?

3. Or should he just wait and do nothing and let the application run its course.

Please your prompt advice will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

ebby29:
Good evening Nairaland. Please I'm calling out to all the Gurus in the house Mr Frank, SOP writer and others. Please kindly help me. This is my 3rd refusal, I'm so frustrated and tired. Have ordered for my GCMS note. Refusal came this evening.

Hello Ebby29,

Its good to see a fighting spirit in you, and a good step also requesting for your notes. What was the generic refusal reasons stated. If your resumption is for Fall intake, endeavour to defer to the next possible intake.

Best of luck in your next application.

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.

The NYSC certificate isn't a mandatory document, you can go ahead to submit the ones at your disposal.

Good luck!

Hello Ebby29,

There is nothing wrong with this application, you should put more effort in writing your next SOP. I believe the VO wasn't convinced on why a 2nd degree.

Good luck!

Dynatron:
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?

Hello Dynatron,

Try to cheer yourself up. Now is the best time to request for your gcms notes.

Good luck!

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

As it shows; yes, you were all refused with similar (generic) reasons, but as it seems, I believe IRCC have reached the required number of people to be admitted into their country.

It won't come as a surprise if the gcms notes is also generic, but it shouldn't stop you from requesting for yours.

Good luck!

Na wa o, I sent a web form yesterday sha, has ur eligibility review started?

Hello Gurus,

Please what will you advise?

I submitted an online application on the 8th of July, 2019 for Sept 4th entry into a PhD program. I submitted an upfront medical result and since then both eligibility and background has been running concurrently.

I contacted my sch few weeks ago to defer my admission to January which they acknowledged and issued new entry date to me with funding intact.

What do you suggest I do;

1. Should I wait till 8 weeks or Sept 4th and upload the new admission letter.

2. Can I send the new offer letter now?

3. Should I wait for decision before sharing the new offer letter if decision is negative.

Please help.

Hello everyone, I haven't posted here for awhile because I was patiently awaiting the outcome of my application. If a day can get any worse I'd definitely say today August 21.

Having had an unproductive day, I got home with a "donotreply" mail awaiting my return. Logged into MyCIC account, downloaded the PDF file and the subject is re: Validity of biometric information. Going by recent trend, I know the outcome already. As I await the other correspondence letter, these are the documents I submitted:

(This is my second application. First application was June 2018).
.. Date of Application: July 17th
.. Correspondence letter : August 21st (BVL)
.. All CIC documents
.. Letter of introduction from NIIT coupled with some certifications.
.. Conestoga College - Mobile Solutions Development. Winter 2020 (Co-op)
.. Tuition deposit - $1, 500
.. Statement of Purpose
.. Dad's statement of account, company credentials, and landed properties.
.. Sisters statement of account, company credentials, and landed properties (Co-sponsor)
.. My statement of account
.. Birth certificate for all family members
.. English proficiency certificate (IELTS)
..
These are some of the documents I remember submitting. I applied for winter on time, so as to allow more time for document verification, still it wasn't successful. Times as this you just wonder what went wrong.

Before the second correspondence letter comes later today/tomorrow, as many out there reading this I need HELP on my third application. Please.

my dear please do not mind anybody! Positive responses will still come! Anybody who wants to believe that quota gist should believe and attract it. As long as the gist is not from a cic staff or site, it's baseless and such information should not be shared knowing fully well people are still expecting, so that they can kill themselves before cic even responds? We have seen first hand that cic is unpredictable so please let's not over do the predictions and discourage people without any basis.
