Wow! This is the first time seeing a VO statement specifically saying someone didn't have international travel history as one of the reasons for refusals. Applications are indeed differently treated. Several people applied with VIRGIN passports and such was never a concern. Its really crazy how unpredictable the VOs can be.

I think the main issue here was your finance. Improve that and make sure the re-application is as tight as before, you should be god with God on your side.

Ire oh! It shall end in praises.

Good evening NL

Please assistance and advice needed.

I am applying to Memorial University, Newfoundland for a graduate program. Documents requested are
1. Transcript
2. Two references
3. Statement of Intent
4. IELTS
5. Etc

I can easily get transcript and educational reference from the school I graduated from. Also, I can get professional reference from my previous employer.

Advice needed here would be
1. Should I get my school to send transcript and reference directly to MUN or I should get a copy for myself and upload, same goes for professional reference.
2. I also intend applying to 2 other schools, but I am considering the cost for sending transcripts directly.
3. Can someone please put me through on writing a letter of intent (is it same with SOP)?


I studied international relations, I have been in the banking sector in the last 7years, and I applied for employee relations.

Please i would really appreciate a feedback.

Thanks.

Greetings Great Minds!

I have concerns with compressing documents and their eligibility to read;

1. when fully compressed (strong compression using smallPdf pro), figures in my transcript and other recommendation letters/documents appears hard to read!

Question: Am I being overly concerned about this? Is it just ok

If I am the VO reading these docs, that's some extra work the applicant is giving me! I am just abit concerned.

Any comment on this or some other extra thing to do to my docs to make it small and still able to be read without stress, please, kindly offer your thoughts.

Thank you in advance!

Travel history as a reason for refusal happens quite frequently more than you think; especially for somewhat older applicants.

hello , can I message you , I’m currently serving and I would love to go for masters in finance in Canada . I don’t know where to start from . I don’t know if you can guide me or through an agent , my dad is willing to sponsor me . Thanks for your response

Hello,

No o... I'm just going for my first degree

MsJanez01:


Hello @Frankrobbn1

I am applying for a study permit but I was denied a tourist visa in 2019 and was in the EE pool but expired now. Do I need to mention both while writing my LOE/SOP?

Chukwubuikexo:
Yes you have to mention them in your LOE/SOP

mcobex:
You don't really have to mention it in your LOE, but MAKE sure you thick "YES" on the application form when asked if you have ever applied or been denied Canada or any other country's visa in the past (also state the reason for the denial). Doing that on the form should be enough.
N.B: To be clear, I said it doesn't really matter if you mention it in your LOE simply because the denied application isn't related to study and the requirement is different from that of studies. The most important place to say it will be on your application form, where you will asked if you have ever applied or been denied visa before. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ANSWER "YES" TO THAT

Otatom:
Please I'm hoping you can help me with some of my questions.

- Can I apply for advanced diploma in construction engeering technology which is a 3 year course although I have a 2:2 in Architecture for my first degree. Is this possible?

- will i be showing the proof of funds for the 3 years tuition when applying through NSE or the minimum 30k CAD will do?

NB: tuition is 16k/yr.

Lekiboboe:


1) There is no Career/Academic progression in going for a degree lesser than your first degree i.e B.SC going for an Advanced Diploma

Your best shot is to apply for a Post Graduate Program (PG. Cert)

You can check out a

PG. Cert in Construction Management (2 years program)
Conestoga College, Waterloo,
Ontario

See the link below for more details
https://www.conestogac.on.ca/fulltime/construction-management

2) Do await response to this question

Makitoperor:
So I was refused based on this reason
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.
What can I do to address it apart from personal bank statement or assets..what other options do I have

Oghogho1313:


Hi Bro,

I applied late Nov along with IELTS & MyBank Statements off the bat. I did not get an NSE request(perhaps as I have already applied with both documents upfront along with medicals as this was my second application).

My eligibility review has been on for 3 weeks or thereabout. Would it make sense to send both IELTS & MyBank Statements again, this time via webform or email and ask that the application should go through NSE route? Its been more than the 20 days processing time.

Frankrobbn1:



The PG. Cert in Construction Management (2 years program) at Conestoga College is strictly designed for Permanent Resident or Canadian Citizens. Consequently, he is not eligible to apply for this program. As earlier stated, he should go for PGD/C in Project Management at Conestoga College.


It will end in praise

Frankrobbn1:



Go for PGD in Project Management at Conestoga College thats the best course for you not an advanced diploma program.


It will end in praise

silvamania:
Good morning,

Who has any sure contact in Canada for tuition payments and I will transfer the equivalent amount here ??

Please let me know


Thanks


All the best

mcobex:
Why don't you use the platforms authorized by your intended institution? Just be careful so you don't hear stories later

silvamania:


I made one mistake , I have submitted my Passpoort to VFS already and I guess one of the requirements of Form A is the international passport (although I have the copy) dont know if that will be accepted but the deadline is fast approaching .


I will probably use the Form A if I can’t find anyone here
The copy of your passport will be accepted, just tell them you submitted it along with your application, but make sure you show them proof (application slip).

Thanks
