topacs:
Am sorry to differ, the issues raised by the VO are not in line with the law under the IRPA and the IRPRs (subsections 30(1) and (1.1) of the IRPA) a futher look into the law states that
IRPRs requires a visa officer to issue a study permit to a foreign national if the individual has established that they:
- have applied for a study permit in accordance with the IRPRs;
- will leave Canada by the end of the period authorized for their stay;
- meet the requirements of Part 12 (Students) of the IRPRs;
- have been accepted to undertake a program of study at a designated learning institution (see also subsection 219(1) and the requirement for an acceptance letter from the designated learning institution). An individual who intends to study in Québec must hold a Certificat d’acceptation du Québec (subsection 216(3) of the IRPRs);
- have adequate financial resources to pay the tuition fees for the intended study program and to maintain themselves and any family members during the proposed period of study, including payment of all travel costs;
- have enrolled and will remain enrolled until completion of their studies; and
- will “actively pursue their course or program of study”.

It also states that
An Officer must reach a reasonable decision and a reasonable decision must not be speculative. The jurisprudence does not allow for speculation; an acceptable decision must be reasonable and explainable

I conclude that this is a case where the visa officer err in refusing to grant the Applicant a study visa? and The Officer did not provide any reason to explain why he was not convinced that the Applicant would leave Canada at the end of his authorized stay

1. Poor Grades: What are his reason
2. Parent occupations:And so? that's no reason
3. Given family ties or Economic motives: No reason (How and Why)
4. Course and background not reasonable...This clearly shows that the officer didn't make decision based on the documents before him.

My take and advice to the applicant is,
Just reapply and pay ur complete fees if possible..
Tweak ur SOP linking ur current Jobs to ur future goals and ambition and y u feel security is an upgrade to networking and give examples..
Researches u've made in other countries and Nigeria and why the Canadian college curriculum stands out among the many schools u analyse.
Get ur reference letters, leave request and approval, pay stubs and pensions statements and a possibly a written note from ur employer that u will return to ur Job after studies, if its possible. Above all back ur application with more prayer.

Finally u are still very young, with age at ur advantage, It would be better to go tru Express Entry and save yourself all dis plenty headache..

Hello AdoChel

Congratulations on your admission.
The next step is to prepare for your visa application. I’ll advice you to apply online.

You’ll need your letter of acceptance, valid international passport, recent passport photographs, proof of fund (bank statement and other financial documents), client information (any other important doc you want to attach, like your bsc certificate and transcript, resume/cv, birth certificate, etc), you’ll need a CAQ if your Uni is in Quebec

You’ll receive a biometric request after you submit your application, then you can go to the centre and give your biometrics.

You can do your medical exam upfront (before or shortly after submitting your application) or you can wait for IRCC to send you a request to go and do it after you’ve submitted.

At the bottom of this page you’ll see numbers, those are page numbers for the thread. Click on 1 and start reading, read till the last page and when you’re done you’ll be totally prepared to apply. Once you read it, everything will be clear.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask

Best wishes

AdoChel:
Thank you so much for your response

Lekiboboe:


U welcome


Go to the Living In Canada Thread & Ask, HR professionals there would be able to give a detailed response on that (Based on their Experience from Study Route to PR and getting an HR Job)

See link below
https://www.nairaland.com/4933819/living-canada-life-canadian-immigrant/393

Well it ain't an issue to wait a whole year, The world ain't settled due to COVID-19 Pandemic, many programs in Canada had no choice than to defer to September 2021, cos some Programs can't be done online e.g Medical , Mining, Environmental related programs and some programs has only September intakes

So you can use that whole 10-11 months to Prepare yourself for Admission & Study Visa Application.

Yes there are PG. Cert. HR programs for May 2021 (Winter) e.g PG. Cert in HR at Cambrian College, Ontario has a Spring 2021 intake, probably you didn't google the schools in the link I sent you

See link below, and google the schools
https://www.collegesinstitutes.ca/our-members/list-of-degrees/?fwp_search_by_keyword=Human%20Resources%20management&fwp_program_levels=graduate-certificate

Though their Tuition is quite on the high side like around $15,000 CAD upward, so NBCC or NSCC seems like your best shot for PG.Cert in HR based on low tuition

Hi bimmy,

Getting a Supervisor for Masters is like a full time Job cos u gotta contact (mail) lots of Professors of different schools. Some would respond, some would not, some might say they are not accepting students ,and some if they find ur research area interesting and it aligns with theirs, u might likely get a response from them. The success of u getting a Supervisor depends on the kind of mail u send to the professor. Its after you get accepted by a Supervisor that's when you can ask for funding, that's if the Prof. didn't talk about it in his/her response to u.

The link below will guide u on
How to Contact & Secure a Potential Supervisor (through Mail) for M.SC Admission & Possible FUNDING (Scholarship)
https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/111#90933556


Also don't limit yourself to only one or two schools, explore more schools as much as u can, with that u gonna get access to more Professors (Potential Supervisor) and if one don't click, you can easily have options.

Visit the link below for Schools offering
Masters in Food Science & related M.SC programs
https://www.universitystudy.ca/search-programs/?k=Food+Science&program_level_merged=Master%27s+degree&program_language=ENGLISH

Finally,

Also note that,
It's not enough to search for Msc in Food Science

Narrow your search to a particular area of interest. Checkout profiles of Professors in different universities with related interest and coin a research interest(s) around that.


For example,

I am a Food Scientist , but that's too broad, rather I will plug myself easily into any research group who are into :
EFFECT OF PROCESSING ON THE STORAGE STABILITY AND FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF COWPEA


If u av questions as regards this, do ask questions here in the forum



Thanks alot for this information, I'm grateful
All da best!

There;'s no point arguing over this BOSS, this screenshot is just someones idea or opinion which doesn't fall within the armpit of the IRPA and the IRPRs (subsections 30(1) and (1.1) of the IRPA) Law as regards study permits for international applicants, the Visa officers are bounded to stay within the confines of the law which states that a decision must not be speculative, And if they must rely on surrounding facts in determining the outcome of an application that should be done with proper explanation, And dis explains why 70% of most JR cases ends up with out of court settlements and 90% success rate.

Like I already advised, the applicant is still very young and should explore the EE route...

Lastly I appreciate all the work and efforts you put in to assisting other...
