Good morning, sir,
I would like to put all chances aside for my future application for a study visa in call 2021. I would like to do a bachelor's degree in administration in order to work in the banking sector in the DRC. It is a sector where employment opportunities are strong. Possessing a Canadian diploma is an added value that will allow salary and material advantage over the latest Congolese diplomas. The banking project for the population is a priority in the DRC. There are only 3 pc of the population banked.
Indeed I was refused a visitor's visa to spend 2 weeks in Canada during the Christmas holidays. I would like to put all my chances aside.
The reason for the denial:
Low employment prospects: I live in
Insufficient funds
My doctor aunt took care of everything, plane tickets and accommodation.
Pay slip, letter of acceptance, proof of employment, etc.
Travel abroad too recent
Last 3 trips during school holidays before the visa application:
Schengen: summer 2019
Zambia: Spring 2019
South Africa: Christmas 2018
My personal history:
I'm 18 years old and was born in 2001.
I study at the French Consular School in DR Congo. My father is a permanent resident in Canada, entering through a study permit in 2001. My mother is a permanent resident in England.
My parents have me at 18 years old. They separated and let me live with my grandparents in Congo.
My father is married to his Canadian wife and they have two Canadian children.
My father did not include me as a child in his application for PR.
My mother who lives in England is married to an Englishman and they have an English son together.
Paternal side
2 aunts a Canadian doctor and a Permanent Resident living in Canada for more than 20 years
1 Canadian uncle living in Canada for over 20 years.
Congolese grandparents visitor visa since 2016
Maternal side
1 Canadian aunt who has lived in Canada for more than 10 years
1 Congolese aunt visitor visa for Canada since October 2019
Congolese grandmother has a Visitor Visa since October 2019
Thank you in advance
Unfortunately your family history is working against you. You have a lot of close family in Canada and the natural assumption is that you are less likely to be a real student and more likely to be trying to get into Canada and stay there.
If you want to get past this, there are a couple of ways that could work.
1. Get admitted to a really good college/university in Canada (Top 3). If you get into a competitive program at a top school, it shows that you are a legitimate student and will increase your chances.
2. Finish your undergrad in Congo or elsewhere (at a good school), work for a year or two, and then come to Canada for your Master's degree (at a good school, but doesn't need to be a top school at this point). Again, that will show that you have strong ties to your home country and you're a bonafide student.
You should look at programs at the University of Montreal or McGill. I assume you speak fluent French and it might be easier to get into a top-rated program there.
