Hello,

I hope this message meets everyone well?

I wanted to inquire if it is ok if an application was refused based on the course of study not being online with the current career/ previous to change course in a new application?

Is it possible to stick with that same course and explain the rationale behind going for that course with a detailed LOE?
Or change course entirely?

I feel changing course will give them the perception that 1 does not know what he/she is doing.
Please I need advice.

I have a bachelors in Economics and intend to go for a second degree in public health which is for two years cos it is basically for folks that intend to change career path which I explained in my sop but I guess I did not take my time to explain it .

@ bullstriker
Please o have been trying to get in touch with you to no avail. Can I have your direct contact to communicate better with you?

Thank you

Dear nairalanders,
I hope we are all doing well?

Please, I need suggestions on my next point of action as regards my study application.

Here is my story,

I applied for a study permit on the 26th of March 2022 with my two years old daughter. I indicated that my husband and my two older children will be staying behind in Nigeria pending my return. I did an upfront medical before I submitted the application.

In the process, I noticed that my medicals was updated in a pending visitors application I did with my husband in 2020 which till now has not been attended to probably because of the applications had the same name but my daughter's own was updated correctly.

Fast forward to the 12th of september, 2022 I got a medical request from IRCC. I also got another update on the 13th of september I.e the next day of a passport request. I actually thought that my medicals have been seen hence the passport request.

I acted upon sending my upfront medical slip to IRCC through the webform and went ahead to submit my passport to IRCC on the 15th of September 2022.

I did not receive an update from IRCC for almost two months until the 25th of November when I got a refusal correspondence stating two reasons:
1. My stay not being consistent with a temporary stay in Canada
2. My course of study not being in line with career/ previous education.

I was really devastated to say the least. My passport was returned to me unprocessed. I sent a message to them severally about my situation and I got a reply on the 15th of December that the application is still in process. I really do not understand.

I have made steps to request for the CBSA notes which I am yet to receive. My course has started so I am thinking on starting online to enable me hold on to the admission as I cannot defer anymore.
I am thinking for them to have requested my passport, I probably still have a shot with this application so losing the admission may be detrimental to me.

What do you guys think? I really need advice pls. I have not heard back from IRCC and I do know if the application is truly still in process as they said because my status still shows refused.

I really need advice as I am about to make financial commitments for the spring term cos the payment deadline is fast approaching.

If I decide to reapply again, can I change my intended course of study as my first degree was a bachelors in Economics and I was going in for a second degree in bachelors of public health more like an after degree program which runs for two years.

I explained why I was changing careers in my SOP and all.

What really puzzles me is why will IRCC request for my passport and still refuse my application based on my course of study?

I am really confused. Any ideas on what i can do?
Thank you.

Hello house;
Compliments!!

@ bull striker

I understand that final eligibility is at the point of entry but in a situation whereby your passport is requested for and you get a refusal afterwards based on your course of study and your application not being consistent with a temporary stay in Canada.
I believe if an application should be refused after PPR, it should be for serious issues like medical reasons, POF and all that.
Refusal based on intended course of study after PPR Is confusing because those are the first things I believe the VO will consider.

What are your thoughts please?
Does this attached response from IRCC mean that the application is still in process or is it a generic message?

Hello everyone,
Compliments of the season.

My case is very confusing but God is in control.

I applied for my study permit on the 26th of March, 2022. I applied with my daughter. We both did the upfront medical on the 2nd of February.
I noticed that my daughter's medical was updated to pass on the 5th of April, 2022 after we submitted our application but mine was not.
Apparently I had a change of name on my passport. The passport I used for the medicals was in my maiden name but the passport I used in the application was in my marital name.

I attached everything to my application including my marriage certificate, affidavit of change of name and even the medical slip to make them know that I am the same person( I had an visiting visa application since 2020 that IRCC did not even attend to so I obviously had a valid biometrics in their system). The medicals was updated to pass on that application i had since 2020 probably because it was in the same name.

Fast forward to 12th of May or so, IRCC requested a biometrics fee, so I wrote a letter to them to make them know that I had done my biometrics earlier in so so so and so name and I had a change of name so i had a valid biometrics and I even alerted them of my upfront medicals I had done. I attached all the valid document to that letter and sent it to them. I noticed that my name was changed back to my maiden name after some weeks. I was like what can of thing is this oo!!. So all correspondence I received from then on were in my maiden name which created some sort of confusion.

On the 12th of september, I got a medical request, then the next day, the 13th of September, I got a passport request but not for my daughter. I was like probably they will attend to hers after mine. I was happy that probably they had acknowledged the medicals that was why they sent the passport request. I still sent them my upfront medicals via the webform and emails then I submitted my passport to the VFS Lagos office on the 15th of September, 2022. On the 20th of Sept, I got a notification that my passport had gotten to IRCC.
I noticed that despite the webforms sent, my medicals was not still updated. I waited on my passport or atleast something from IRCC till the 25th of November, 2022 when I woke up to a refusal correspondence based on :
1. My Application not being consistent with a temporary stay in Canada
2. My intended course of study not being in line with my past education/ career.

I was shocked, did they not see all these things before they sent for my passport?

I immediately sent them a reconsideration and explained my situation to them and told them that my passport has been requested for already.

I really do not know if this was done in error or the VO is just confused.

I got a reply back from them on thursday which I will attach to this message.
What do you guys think?
I have not gotten passport back but I doubt it was stamped.

I am just confused. I dont even know what to think anymore.
It is well.

Can I also have the steps to contact the MP in canada? My school is university of Lethbridge, Alberta.
I will appreciate steps to go about it, thanks.

Is it possible for an application to be updated as refused after PPR and passport still being stamped upon delivery?

@ bullstriker
Please how do I get in touch with you so I could give you an overview of the situation.

It has been two weeks i sent them the reconsideration request, should I keep sending via webform and emails?
Your response be will be appreciated, Thanks.

Hello everyone,

Does any1 know about reconsideration request to IRCC or getting across to IRCC?

I was asked to go for medicals on the 12th of September, 2022 and on the 13th of September, 2022. I was sent a passport request letter.
I had an upfront medicals which had not expired so I submitted it through the ircc webform and submitted my passport to the vfs Lagos office.
It is been going to three months now and I suddenly saw a refusal message on the 25th of November stating that my
1. My application was rejected because it is not consistent with a temporary stay in canada
2. My course of study is not in line with my past education/ experience.
My question is that is that did they not check all these before they proceeded further with the application or could it just be a mistake from their part?

The refusal looks generic because these refusal should have come earlier in the process or what do you guys think?. I did everything accordingly.

I just got a message from VFS global yesterday that my passport is ready for collection and I seriously doubt there will be a visa appended on it because my application status shows refused.

Please any1 ever experience this and what did you do? I dont mind referrals please as I seriously need advise.
Thank you.

Hello everyone,
Does any1 know any RCIC I can talk to for a very strange application timeline?
I got a passport request and a refusal after almost 2 months of waiting for my passport.
The reasons were based on eligibility which I believe should have looked at before even asking me for my medicals and passport.
I have submitted reconsideration request through webform but have not heard from them.
It is just so confusing.

Good evening all,
Please any suggestion would be appreciated as I really need it.

This is the summary of my application.
I applied for a student visa on the 16th of March, 2022. I did an upfront medicals on the 2nd of February 2022 before I applied. I also submitted a dependant visitor visa for my two years old alongside my application.

Fast forward to 12th of September, 2022, I got a medical request which I immediately booked for. 13th of September, being the next day, I got PPR so I thought probably my upfront medicals have been seen so I did not go for the scheduled medicals.

I just submitted my passport to the VFS Lagos office on the 15th of september because I just assumed everything has been settled with the medicals hence the passport request. I got an email that my passport was with IRCC on the 20th of September, 2022.
Comrades!! As at today, I have not gotten back my passport from IRCC and I have sent series of webform to this effect. My portal has not changed since I submitted and medicals not yet updated.

What do you think is the issue guys? Could it be the medicals causing the delay? I have sent webforms and emails with the upfront medicals i did. I dont understand anymore.

I have not been notified too since the 20th of September. Is it normal? I have sent several webforms, still waiting for a reply to the emails sent.

I really dont know what is happening o. Can anyone shed light to this issue pls?�‍♂️
