Hello, guys im in some sort of dilema, my main reason for return is that my father wants to groom me to eventually take over his real estate portfolio, so do i put the landed property docs in client information segment or in financial docs segment because the property is also a source of income.

Good day house,

I had made an application that was denied in 2018 and I want to reapply now. One of the reasons it was denied was travel history. I am trying to explain this in my LOE and would appreciate any information I could use as I don't really know what to put in that area.

Please note that I haven't travelled out of Nigeria except to Ghana in 2008 or thereabout. I finished undergraduate study in 2016, NYSC 2017.

Thank you [color

You may want to wait until Monday before booking. I live close to VFS and I can tell you that everywhere is in chaos. No one knows for sure what will happen.

PPR DROPPED. How do i start ooooo......

my journey started in 2019.

I graduated from Nnamdi Azikie University with 4.25cgpa Mechanical Engineering in 2014

I served in 2016(NYSC). I DON FIND JOB TIRE OOOOOOO.
At a point, i gave up. I stopped applying for jobs. I just focused on playing piano in my church, and also, my father's business.


I was accepted into the university of Saskatchewan for Msc, 2019.

Then i was accepted for 2019 september term.

I was dupped of 450,000 naira by my friend's agent. Very long story. Then, i found out in August 28th 2019. By Then, it was already late. so i deferred again to 2020 January. I applied again through another agent. My money was refunded after wasting one month of precious time. I applied again, late November myself. No help from anyone. i gathered all documents with small account statement. I was denied in January 2020.



At this point i almost gaveeeeeee up ooooo.

But i picked up the courage again. Then i gathered all required documents and then appled again in June.


SUBMITTED DOCUMENTS

ACCOUNT STATEMENT
LETTER OF EXPLANATION
Sworn Affidavit
Sponsorship letter from my dad registered company.
CAC DOCUMENTS
LETTER OF COMPANY DIRECTORS
LETTER OF SHAREHOLDERS with percentages
i have 10,000 shares in this company.
FATHER'S PASSPORT
MY FAMILY MEMBER'S PICTURES AND BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

MY LOE wAS OVER-ORGANIZED
3 PAGES LOE.

Don't ever loose hope. GOD has always been my strength. Don't listen to anyone that says otherwise.

it took me 2 years before i was accepted for my masters. GOD helped me. HOLY INFANT JESUS helped me.I don't want to sound too religious. I am not. But i got this admission after i asked INFANT JESUS for help. HE told me that i will be accepted 10 days after applying for acceptance by a professor. IT HAPPENED. FEEL FREE TO DOUBT OR BELIEVE.


Please don't loose hope.

GOD is GREAT. I have my reasons.

TAKE CARE

Hi everyone, I am a newbie here, and I have been reading up on the thread. They have been quite insightful. Please I would appreciate if I can be guided in my decision making.

Here is my scenario

I studied chemical engineering with a 2.2 graduated in 2004, worked in an oil servicing coy as a process engineer for like 7years. After which I didnt do anything for like 3years. I started a beauty business in 2015, Salon/Spa.

I would love to do a postgraduate program in canada.

Now my real question is which pgd is advisable to go for with a high probabilityof admission and Study Visa?

In chemical engineering field or in business management? Betterstill any other program advise?

Also I would appreciate suggestions on which province has high visa approval and suggestions of colleges I can apply to.

I would appreciate your kind responses.

Queenmama03:
Guys Please I’m just thinking ahead so that I can start gathering money from now. Apart from school fees is 5m enough to show as proof of funds for upkeep if I intend to go with my 18month old baby. Duration of program should be 1 to 2 years.

Hello,

You can stick to a business related course. As this is more recent. It could be said that you want to learn how to properly manage your business. Hope your salon/spa is registered with CAC? That would make it a lot better.

There’s no province with higher acceptance rate as far as I know. If you do your homework well and package your application well, you’ll get the visa.

@lekkiboe will tell you some courses. He’s our guru for that

Hello Gurus & all Nairalanders
Would appreciate your help.

I submitted a study permit application for a Bsc in International Marketing at University of Manitoba. I have a previous Bsc. In Insurance (Graduated with 2:1) and i'm currently a Marketing and Sales Executive.

I indicated in my SOP that i picked International marketing because i wanted to understand marketing from an international perspective ,and another B.sc because Masters is advanced and i needed to understand the vital topics.
I also stated that I'd be taking over my father's business (Real Estate) upon the completion of my studies.

However,I got a refusal letter on 24th Sep 2020 on the following ground;
'I am not satisfied you will leave Canada at the end of your stay based on the purpose of your visit'.
Ordered gcmnotes which indicates proposed studies not a reasonable expense and accorded less weight to employment ties to my country of residence. Please find gcmnotes attached below.

I intend to reapply as i now have a Post Graduate admission to study Strategic Marketing Communications in Conestoga College.

I need help on how to tackle;
1. Proposed study as a reasonable expense. ( Will the PGC admission tackle this reason?) How can i prove the sudden change?
2. Employment ties. (I am employed. Submitted personal SOA).

Thank you so much for your time.

Hi rebeccausoro,

Is your skool yet to be in the COVID-19 Readiness DLI list...

Its looking as if its applicants whose school are on the DLI COVID-19 readiness Plan that are getting update as regards their application (BVL then PPR)?

rebecausoro:


My school is on the list but I don't think that's how they're giving the approvals.

The wait is killing me o. How can I apply since May and I won't be among the first to be approved .

I can't even read well and focus because of the anxiety. I feel emotionally drained because of Canada, coupled with the unrest in Nigeria.

Truly, the journey to Canada is not for the faint hearted.


Has anyone else received BVL?

- my biometrics status still reads you do not need biometrics, but i noticed at the bottom of my application it was received the same day i submitted my application June 23

Please guru's, I graduated in the year 2009, studied environmental biology, I came out with 2.2, can I apply for masters or it has to be pgd, am looking at university of saskatchewan.

fratermathy:


Most of those with approvals had their applications sent to China. I think some visa offices are yet to start issuing approvals. So far, it appears that China and UAE's visa offices have issued approvals en masse. There are also pockets of approvals from London, Poland and a few other visa offices. I doubt if the Nairobi office has started issuing approvals en masse. If your application was retained by that office then you have to be patient. If it was sent to another office, then when that office starts issuing approvals, you'll definitely get.

It's also possible that IRCC is trying to stagger the approvals by allowing only some offices to issue approvals at a time. Or maybe it's on a weekly basis. I'm only conjecturing. We can never tell. Let's see what next week brings. For those still awaiting their approvals, you have to be patient and move beyond the temporary delay. Don't allow IRCC to give you high blood pressure over nothing.

The reason for this rejection doesn't hold water but I wouldnt conclude cos I dont know the documents u submitted, However,If u are very sure u packaged ur application very well and have the fund I would advice u seek Judical Review, or u reapply with improved finance and situations. But before then

1. Did u pay ur school fees.
2. Are u currently working if yes did u add ur pay stub, pension and reference letter from ur employer.
3. Taking over ur fathers business? Is/Are there any legal document to back that up.
4. Are u married and have landed properties.
5. What was ur total proof of finance inclusive tuition fees.

Judicial review with this profile? Please save your time and money. Repackage your application and shoot again. The application can be much more better than this. There are red flags in it.
