STUDY PERMIT REFUSED GCMS NOTES DETAILS HELP!!!

[gentlemate00]

Case reviewed.Principal Applicant(PA) is a 41yr. old Nigerian national living in primarily in Singapore since 2014, and was accepted into a 1-yr Post -grad Certificate program at Centennial College in Supply Chain Management.
PA is residing with his spouse and 3 dependents; all are listed as non-accompanying. PA's highest credential is an associate's degree that he obtained in 2017, and has been working as a business & logistics manager since graduation.In his letter of intent,PA indicates that he would like to improve his English while in Canada. No IELTS/ language assessment on file. Given PA's education and professional background,he has not adequately demonstrated why he is seeking another credential at this time. His intended program of study is illogical.Moreover, PA's brother has provided financial docs in support this application.while i have considered these additional documents, i have concerns about PA's level of establishment and ability to support himself during his studies.Based on the above and docs before me, i am also satisfied PA has a compelling reason for travel and that he would return from Canada at end of an authorized stay. Refused

There are two reasons : 1. Your educational background in the past(without IELTS) looks like they aren't satisfied why you are seeking further education. It seems this additional degree does not add to your professional career.
2. Whatever financial documents you have shown as support they think you don't have enough finances to support your stay in Canada during your education.

 

[k.h.p.]

They don't believe you're a genuine student.

They are concerned that you only have an Associate's Degree, which would not normally lead to a post-grad certificate. Normally you'd start with at least a bachelor's degree.

Further, as you've been living outside of your home country since 2014, you are not clearly established in Singapore and it's not clear that you wouldn't try to stay in Canada after your studies.

Basically, they don't believe you're a genuine student.

45k would mean that almost all your brother’s savings would be used for your studies. It is very unlikely your family will be approved to join you in Canada if you are able to get a study permit. You don’t have a bachelors degree. I am surprised you were admitted to the program actually. You don’t have strong ties to Nigeria having lived in Singapore for 6 years so it wI’ll be really hard to show you wil return to Nigeria after your studies. Given you have a spouse and 3 children and not enough savings to pay for your studies it doesn’t make sense to return to school and study abroad and spend a large amount of money unless your spouse is working and can support the rest of your family financially.

Thank you for the input however about the financial aspect, well the total fund available was 95k Cad, the amount balance in my personal account is 45k,while the 50kCad to support. original balance is around 350k Cad. Secondly the Associate degree (Singapore), got admission offer from three colleges Centennial, George brown and Seneca. All Post Graduate Certificate Program.

The visa officer is not acertain that you will depart Canada at the end of your stay, given your profile. The visa officer does not satisfied that you can support yourself in Canada while also having a spouse and 3 dependants. You yourself don't have the adequate funds to support your studies and need to rely on relatives, even though you're already 41 years old. Obviously the visa officers can see that you're trying use a study permit to get to Canada in order to work and that's your only goal and the study plan is completely irrelevant.

The visa officer know exactly what you're trying to do. Its not gonna work. They process thousands of applications a week, they know how to spot a non-genuine student.

Why travel halfway across the world to do a measly certificate program then fly another round trip back home? How do you justify the cost that you're going to spend to match for career in your home country? What is so special about it that you have to spend thousands of dollars? Why can't you do one in Singapore or in your home country where it will be cheaper and worth it. Obviously the visa officer would not believe you are leaving Canada...

The graduate certificate requires university degree or 3-yr diploma, and i think your associate degree is equivalent to 3-yr diploma.

I will reapply and follow some tips here. For someone saying is not going to work should not worry about that lot of student got approval doing same program of course they could have done the same course in their home country. Everyone case is different and will reapply again.
