Hi peeps. I will be applying for a study Visa shortly. But first I would like to seek help on deciding which mode of application to adopt. I have tried paper application once but got a rejection. I would welcome your sincere advice. Thank you.

it was not the application type that got your SP refused, the rejection reasons must have come from your submitted documents.

Whether paper or online application, it doesn't guarantee a refusal or an acceptance. Both was setup to meet preferences and convenience

Thanks for your response. You are right, I got the reasons for rejection. However I noticed that those who are apply online get approvals more than those who do paper applications. I might be wrong tho. I see you are Nigerian; I am too. Have you got your visa?

Paper based is better than online if your documentation was well. Online confuses alot of people. For example i applied paper based Application. The checklist asked me to provide my school transcripts and IELTS grades. However my friend who applied online didn't get such an option and was rejected because of not providing transcripts. What i am saying is apply paper based and seek the advice of an expert and find out what all documents are essential. For example for my paper application i sent:-

Application for study permit form
Family information form
Background declaration form
A copy of the bio page of the passport
My residence permit copy (i didnt apply from my home country)
My IGCSE, Alevel and IELTs results
Fathers bank statement, letter from his stating he will sponsor me and his employment letter
Fixed deposit (not necessary i just gave to make my application strong)
And lastly the SOP (This letter should state what your education history is. And then what ur aim is. And why u chose canada and how ur course will help u achieve ur aim and then stating that u have no intention of staying in canada aftee ur education is over)

Have these documents printed and submit them through a VAC and just link the application online.

Got my visa in 30 days
