Vnjz,

Purpose of visit as a generic reason for refusal is always broad and can be tackled when you get to set your eyes on your CAIPS file
So, I'll help a sister by advising her to order for her GCMS note before re-applying.

Edited: Is your intended program reasonable in control with your previous studies/job role?

If it was me, that what I would do, address the root of the problem, than stories that touch. It’s graduation certificates we are talking about. Very critical documents. Just my perspective.

Ps: He should talk to the school, you will be surprised with some effort, he can get it done quick. He can do an affidavit for the NYSC because that one might be prolonged.

I grab your point my attorney! Considering the applicant is heading for fall and the clock is fast ticking for his application submission. I see no problem If he submits a notarized affidavit to his claims with his application, while he goes ahead with the names amendment from his school and NYSC.

Thank you!

How sure are you that this name change cannot be done in a few days or even a few weeks? That sure is the safest way to solve his problem. Because with the way CIC is so suspicious of Nigerians, a certificate is so important and should bear the right name from the issuing institution. It’s like this guy I asked to go get his transcript from his school. He was so convinced it couldn’t be done because when he attended school, the institution didn’t have computers for record keeping. With a little push and some Nairas exchanged, the school fished out his transcript in two weeks. Please let the guy do himself the favor of going back to his school and correcting the error and resorting to an affidavit only as a last resort.

Vnjz,

You need to present a rational explanation to why you left the IT industry for the past 4 years and now wants to further your studies in the discipline of applied network infrastructure. The 15 certifications you've acquired in the IT industry will be of paramount assistance here to explain your intent to further in the IT field.
Write extensively to why the cost of your program is justifiable and warrants the cost and difficulty of undertaking a foreign education. Why you can't undergo this program in Nigeria since it will be less expensive here and reduces the financial burden on your sponsor, why you opted out for a PGC instead of a direct masters degree, How the program will be beneficial to you as an individual and to your prospects back home, the lucrativeness of this program in Nigeria after studies in Canada. Activate this and discuss them on your SOP and you will be fine.

Re-applying without your gcms note is risky. Why not exercise little patience to order for your gcms note?
My little advice o

jnyuwa02:


If the names are spelt wrongly from the name on your port, you should go and rectify the names on your certificate and NYSC. Otherwise, go and do your port in the name on your certificate and NYSC. You dont want CIC thinking you burrowed someone’s certificate with almost similar names like yours.

Good point. ....


The school is ready to make 100% corrections if it emanate from there side....but please oooo how did school and Nysc make such a mistake with same name......am sure most of us are giving form to fill correctly in camp on how our name should be written on our nysc certificate....school will make correction if u go to them......then NYSC will be a long process....u can notarised the affidavit to back up your NYSC

Exactly my points said better! Imagine the questions you raised and many more this error can portend. I wouldn’t even put it past these CIC guys to start thinking he obtained someone’s result with a similar name and tried to change into his by doing an affidavit. I mean he obtained an ission in Canada with the certificate or transcript and didn’t see it fit to correct the error then but now? How did this error happen and why did he not correct going through the ission process until now? At least if he makes the move and correct name on cert by talking to the school now, all these questions will go away and affidavit to back up NYSC error might be acceptable. Cross all your “t” and dot all your “i”. Give these guys no ground for speculations. They are extremely suspicious of Nigerians.

Which university in canada has low tuition fee, and im budgeting 1.9m will it be ok for processing .

gerrymini,

You're expected to fill four (4) forms namely:
Document checklist IMM 5483,
Study permit questionnaire IMM 5832,
Study permit form made outside Canada IMM 1294,
Family information form IMM5707En

All the best!

Linsigne,

Check Memorial University of Newfoundland! They have tuition fee below your targeted budget. Visa application fee is 55-57K for paper route, while online applications cost 65-67K.
You also need to acquire a sponsor to your application, presenting 1.9M will be insufficient as you will also need to put your first year living expenses of 10,000CAD equivalent = 2,850,000N.

All the best!

Vnjz,
I'm sorry, my hands are tied now. I have so much letters on ground that are yet to be reviewed. You can transfer this letter of yours to my bosses in the house to assist in revamping them for you.

I apologize for any inconveniences this might cause you!

Hehehe Attorney! , I hope you don't expect me to agree from your perspective! Are you insinuating that you haven't seen an applicant that submitted a sworn affidavit in of the discrepancies in name and got approved? Why do you think the visa officer will use that against the applicant application? Since the applicant has gone ahead to present this to a notary public officer and proven to be authentic. I bet you that this won't be an issue in his application.

Edited: if the applicant can easily get his way in changing this errors with his previous institution. Then fine! If on the contrary he was unable to achieve this, a notarized affidavit will suffice.

We are not merely talking about inconsequential change in names or discrepant names as in birth or marriage certificate. This is a critically important document upon which ission or scholarship decision was made. How did he get ission without dealing with the problem then the VO will be forced to ask. Go and talk to school if you hear me and deal with the root of the problem. Bring your certificate in compliance to your real and correct name used to obtain ission.

My Madam!
Sure!Yes he is making a good point from his end. I know very well the applicant can present a notarized affidavit to tackle the both errors in his NYSC & Degree certificate and It's not a rule that the applicant must visit his previous university to effect a change in his name. Wait a minute, with the bolded words are you saying based on experience or presupposition? Changing a university degree certificate name isn't so easy as you thought it would be.

Please, what's the likelihood for an applicant to be denied after medical requested and ed?

From recent findings, it's rare. Getting a medical request and ed and later got refused took place last year, but I haven't come across such happening this year. They hardly deny an applicant nowadays after being called for medicals. Therefore, the likelihood of getting a refusal is significantly low.

Okay, thanks. How long does it take CIC take to approve after medical requested and ed?

That nobody has an answer to. At most, 1-5weeks to get an approval.
