Hi All,
I am happy I found this page. Please don't take it the wrong way but I am a little relieved I found people in the same situation as me. I am also waiting.
I first applied 3rd May 2019 but was denied on the 13th June 2019. The reason I was given was based on Purpose of visit. I applied for CGMS notes and it read: "Her purpose of study appears vague and poorly documented". I then re-applied on the 22nd of July. I am still waiting.
My disappointment was that I had visited Canada thrice in the past. In fact, I was on my 4th visit to Canada (to return to my country the next day 14th of June) when I received the denial. I never expected I would be denied. The irony was even that I had just I re-applied for my third visitors visa in March 2019 and it was renewed till April 2024. So, now I have a visitors visa but no study permit-very frustrating.
Another confusion is that I have already enrolled for classes-I did so during my last visit in June to Canada. Unfortunately when I contacted my school about possible deferral, I was told University of Ottawa does not defer admissions. I would need to reject this admission and re-apply for admission if I don't start this September.
CIC this is not fair.
