Deku04: and please have you gotten your passport back ? |

Canhopeful: "Recommend interview" doesn't mean that your application has been refused or will be refused. It simply means they'll review it further. You still have hope as it appears. However, I'm quite shocked that the VO has concerns despite the funding you've received. Funding usually takes care of financial questions and even with a spouse, the amount is more than enough. These are my assumptions based on the limited information you've provided: 1. VO is skeptical of the fact that you're applying with your husband and maybe children (if any). This effectively diminishes your home ties and your job as a lecturer is not enough incentive to return back since you are moving with your immediate family. 2. Your husband's funds and personal assets should have been included. Do well to raise a CSE and attach this segment ASAP. Your husband shouldn't be a blind spot in your application. The moment you applied with him, you made him an object of attention and if they think something is wrong with his application for SOWP, that waters down to your application. 3. I don't know if you uploaded the funding letter you got from UBC but whether or not you did, raise a CSE and attach it again with a clear explanation that references your GCMS note. Break down the funding and explain the tuition waiver in clear terms. Kindly post your complete profile and timeline so that more insights can come from there. 3 Likes |

Hi everyone, my GCMS note came in early hours of today. From the VO's comment - this is a wrong review of my application. Applied - June 12, 20020. 1.

And the savings is not 22k instead it is $32,071 CAD supported with other investment (My investment is currently worth N3,375,000 (about $ 12,755 CAD) and would have yielded a 22% interest over the period of my stay in Canada - Investment Letter attached), land property, maintenance stipends from work (study leave approval states that they will even be paying me 30% of my salary while away). 3. Fees & Funding Information for 1 year program: ▪ Total cost of Tuition & Other Student Fees for the duration of study = $11,804 CAD ▪ Living Expenses for 1 year = $10,000 CAD ▪ Available Funds = $32,071 CAD 4.

Hi @skull4eva, For self-funded PhD (3 to 4-year duration), you need between CAD$80k and CAD$120k for you only to cover tuition and living costs. What makes this even more difficult to convince the VO is that you will pay at international student tuition rate unlike most PhD students who get at least an international tuition fee waiver. When you add your family to the application, then the cost go up further. As my oga @fatermatty mentioned, look to other schools/programs that may offer you some funding no matter how small - a tuition waiver only will save you about 55k in costs over 4 years. If your profile is good enough to get an PhD offer, then you have a chance. You seem not to have hit the right connect yet with a matching supervisor or program. Finally, don't be in a rush to re-apply rather look at ways to improve your profile in a way that may earn you some funding and widen your search. It is doable. Except this is a management PhD (e.g. Doctorate in Accounting, Business or Financial Management) where funding may be very limited and uncommon, I think you should shoot for getting some university funding before you try again. Wishing you all the best skull4eva: 2 Likes |

Hello House, Which school in Canada accepts HND engineering certificate for B. Eng. I recently applied to Lakehead University for their 2 years conversion program but they came back saying my transcript is not recognised by the school and turned down my admission. I was rejected because of this and I don't ṣe myself spending another four years on this. Any useful tips or information is highly appreciated. Thanks |

Please I honestly need advice, am looking at studying in Canada for masters and I have made some research, however, I have a relation over there that can get me points, now I don't have any work experience here, and I think it plays a crucial role, however someone mentioned something about NYSC teaching experience, and I want to ask if it's legible, like if it's acceptable.... |

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by aruya: 12:17pm On Sep 18, 2020 |
My advise to you as a paper applicant will be to withdraw your application and reapply online. That was how we were waiting from March and reapplied in August. Got the AIP in September. I really don't think they're attending to paper and that's most likely why your GCMS notes is empty. Same advise I'll give to anyone who applied with paper and yet to receive feedback. Wish you all the best. Miide2: 2 Likes |

Good day to everyone in the house. I like to appreciate all your efforts and time. I have read previous thread and the information provided, but i have a peculiar situation that have not been answered. I got admission for my PhD in Aeronautics and acoustics and it came with funding(21,000 CAD for first year of 4 years) for summer 2021. I have saved up 1.2 Million Naira from my salary. I read about the Nigerian Student Express which allows applications to be processed within 20days for Nigerian Students. Please how can I go about that, also, part of the requirement for the Nigerian Student Express is a 30,000 CAD in MyBank statement. Do i need to have that considering that I have funding already. Also, would I be needing additional funding with what i have. Please I would love to have an answer to this question. Thanks |

@fratermathy @justmellow, @tony @frankobbn @Anonymous123 Hello guys, Please I need your help. How do I overcome all what the VO pointed out. Before I applied for undergraduate degree and used a third party sponsor but now I am going for masters in journalism, I studied mass communication and worked as a journalist for 5 years before coming a freelance article and ebook writer. I have decided to use my husband as home ties while applying with my kids 2 and 4 years. I have 4million in my account while my husband has 7 million to act as a co-sponsor. Please what more do I need to do to get it right now.

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by fratermathy(m): 12:24pm On Sep 18, 2020 |
adekolagreat: Congrats on your admission and funding. The Nigerian Student Express is yet to start for now. Simply apply for your study permit like others. Your account balance is sufficient for that purpose since you have funding. However, does your funding cover tuition? If so, when you remove the tuition, will the balance be more than C$10,000? These questions are very important too. If you got a tuition waiver or if the amount you quoted is already outside of your tuition, then you are good to go. However, if you have to pay tuition, make sure the funding covers that plus living expenses or you may be forced to get more money to offset the balance. When applying for your permit, do well to emphasise home ties. That's the major issue PhD applicants face. Good luck with your application. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Nobody: 12:28pm On Sep 18, 2020 |
jwon1: Your application is very good but somehow, the VO mix up the fact about the available funds may be due to the way you presented the fact. You can raise a CSE to point out this errors and send immediately. If it is too late reapply and point out this obvious errors on the part of the VO. All the best 1 Like |

jwon1: Incompatible employment and Education profile. Lack of evidence of your parent death. How are you able to save that much money considering your age and employment situation? Personally I’m curious to know the financial institution that gave you 22% interest on investment. Also, I don’t think you need to be attaching letter of invitation to other countries. Your visa And passport entry and Exit stamps are enough evidence. In my opinion, you submitted a solid application that looks too good to be true of your age, and employment and financial situations. This can be mere speculation because I am not a visa officer. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by fatobaolajumoke: 12:44pm On Sep 18, 2020 |
I have a question bothering me, My question is this Is it possible to apply to a university in Canada for like a 4 years course and then maybe when one gets there and decide to apply for another college that will give a lesser year of schooling without going to the previous university at all. Will it affect the visa thing I mean like deporting the student? have you had any body that did that and it worked for them. |
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by adekolagreat(m): 12:44pm On Sep 18, 2020 |
fratermathy: Thank you for your swift response, I appreciate your time. I am not sure if my tuition is part of the funding but I can find out about that. with regards to home ties, in my current job, I signed a bond with my employer for 3 years, however, I will be leaving before it elapsed, although I intend to have that conversation with my employer. I was wondering if that will fly, so I can claim that I have to come back to service the bond. Please could you direct me on how to apply through the regular process as I tried on my own and most of the things I am reading here (SOP, family ties...), I could not find where to upload them. Finally, I would love to connect with you on a personal level, if that is okay with you. I like to show you some of the documents I have for proper guidance. here is my email address adekoladekola@gmail.com

Tgirlll02: Before you proceed with this.. Lemme ask, do you have a bsc before if yes, pls don't even try applying for visa cos you will be denied in a matter of days on the basis of Purpose of visit. WHY? Because you finished weac let's say 10yrs ago and you are going for a bsc now. The vo will want to know why the long study gap. You will be denied based on family ties. An undergraduate traveling with his entire family. This is bound to fail. Please if you have a bsc focus on either a masters or PGD but if its HND, pls focus on a PGD. Do not travel with your family, go alone later you can apply for them (spousal work permit) 2 Likes |

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by jwon1: 1:29pm On Sep 18, 2020 |
Thank you Osemigho. I presently work with an International Education Foundation - so I oversee major IT / Data related operations of the foundation in Nigeria as well as Programs and other on the ground liaison responsibilities as seen on my reference letter and prior before this employment I have worked across 3 different industries within core IT positions (leading companies - Oil and Gas etc). Just to add to the parent comment again, I did not mention the financial support of family members in my application to study in Canada. I solely presented available financial/economy ties that I am not using all my savings to pursue study in Canada. I drew a family tree showing my family information, I attached my late dad burial poster (early this year). I lost my mum while I was just 6 years - so I don't even have any document on that, I only added her picture to the family tree. I was invited to Istanbul by IBM Turkey as the representative of their local partner company in Nigeria regarding a big project we were working on as that time. Likewise, the opportunity to travel to New York following the invitation of my present firm. So, I only felt that can establish some sense of credibility and good profile towards my personality. The investment is with an Agritech firm - I can share the opportunity with you if you want - lol. I am only thankful to God for his Grace to have the profile presented. I also saw similar profile with a young lady of about 25 few weeks back on this platform. So, it is only God's grace. I am planning to write a rebutter on this through webform as eligibility and background check is still ongoing. I only feel that the reasons made are wrong to what I presented and I clearly tied this to my short and long term career goals. By the way - should my LOE be pasted inside the webform or attach separately alongside the documents of evidence? Thanks. Osemigho: |
