Rejected for Study permit. Please help

[icemountain]

Hello everyone.

I am a 33 year who was accepted for a postgraduate diploma course at centennial college in January 2018 (yes, less than 2 months away!). I applied online as I didn’t have the paper documents for the sponsorship from my uncle (he lives overseas, so he scanned it and send it to me). I showed about $20,000 of my own money in a fixed deposit (only a month old at the time of application). As my sponsors, i also added my parents $15,000 in fixed deposits (over a year old) and my uncle’s bank statements amounting to $17,000 in bank statements (4 months as required). . i didn't upload my transcripts and IELTS results as I thought that this was for a matter for the college and there was a 4 MB limit.

I am a student at the moment having just completed my bachelor’s degree so I am unemployed. I have already paid the first semester fee via wire transfer. I have about nine years working experience overall before studying.

The only country I have traveled to is Singapore (which is a developed country but doesn’t require a visa).


The reasons given in the letter are as follows

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 travel history.

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 the purpose of your visit.

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 the limited employment prospects in your country of residence.

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 current employment situation.

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 do you recommend i do? Should I reapply ?

should I bother to apply again, because I will likely be rejected and there is such a short time for the course to start?

Or perhaps have the intake moved to May/September? (in the meanwhile I can get a job and fix the employment situation and also get a 4 month bank statement)

The best thing to do is defer to May intake. If you can get a job by that time, then it is good. Since, your uncle is sponsoring you, did you attach any affidavit to show that he is your uncle?

Yes. I attached a sponsor letter from my uncle including his birth certificate and bank statements going back 4 months with a stamp and signature from the bank official for extra verification. However, it was not notarized by a lawyer. The sponsor letter says that he is my uncle and his willing to fully finance me throughout the course.

Is there a rule about the age of the fixed deposits? I usually reinvest in them every 3 months after they mature which is why the FD I submitted was only a month old. I thought the 4 month rule only applied for bank statements.

Is there a penalty for deferring the intake? Do I have to pay the increase in tuition fees ? (as it usually happens)

How could I refute all the points that the refusal letter made? They were

1) 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 travel history.

How many times can you apply under SPP ?

 

[dingomingo]

Apply for GCMS notes first. These are the visa officers notes on your application. Google it. Refusal letter reasons are generic and dont tell the whole story

I applied online. There was no SPP option.

Does the fixed deposit have any requirements? To be minimum certain date etc?

Since, you already have a rejection so you can apply under SPP now. for fixed deposits, the only thing I have seen for few people is the visa officers write in their caips notes that recent large deposits to the bank accts. It looks like the applicant has collected the money from other people and just deposited in the bank to show good acct balance.In your case, I dont think that would be the case so next time, when you apply better give them the statment for atleast 6-8 months. Also, there is no penalty to defer to next intake. Fees can vary. you have to ask your college/Uni.
