Along with other doubts like your proof of funds, that certainly is the biggest issue. You demonstrated an intent to immigrate to Canada but was unsuccessful. Hence -- the officer thinks you're going to immigrate to Canada with a student visa. Only way to resolve this is to write a strong SoP addressing all the officer's doubts. What to write ? That you might need a consultant's help.
Visa rejection from Abu Dhabi
- Thread starter Jibin g John
- Start date
CA certificate + affidavit to show inheritance + Fds and Rds with bank certificates and statements
They mentioned it on GCMS note so you need to go straight to this problem then explain about it, and how to explain -> your consultant would tryto find a solution as you paid him/her for that.
About your financial status, VO said “the source of funds is not evidenced” -> where did your money come from to have those fixed deposits and to pay for GIC? If it comes from your salary, you would have to show your (1) Labor contract and (2) the bank statement of your CA received salary payment in the last one year (at least) then highlight all the salary payment transactions and after all those transactions summed up, the total amount of money should make sense.
Hope my opinion could be helpful to you, wish luck bro!
sorry about rejection. but you are in really hot waters.
take the notes and seek certified canadian laywer that will help you with your study permit application. you really showed strong intent to immigrate to canada. and on top of that you didn't even mention it. there is something called dual intent that might have worked for you. also you are 31 years old with a wife and kid. the VO will ask themselves. why he just doesn't show 1 account under his name that have enough money. also he was concerned about your income and the cost of tuition fees. showing so many documents to prove your finances rise concerns for VO. just show one or two documents showing that u have enough money and it is accessible. and to finish you off the vo stated that your current status in UAE is a bit of concern as your resident permit will expires very soon / or expired.

Were you able to provide the evidence for all? Also, what was your immigration status in UAE at the time of applying? was your work permit about to expire?
I am close to 40 years, not married, only showed GIC 10K ... I got my visa approval in 17 days...
Only suggestion that I would give you is be extremely honest and transparent in your next SOP. Tell them about all the key events from past in details.
About your wife's EE, if your wife and kid would join you in canada, you losing your job in the UAE and then moving back to India.
Don't hide anything. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I think VO are smart enough to differentiate between genuine and desperate reasons.
. You come across as reasonably wealthy. Show them proper evidence of your finance since you already mentioned that in your previous SOP.
Explain in detail, why you came back to India and why this study will prove lifechanging for your career.
Rest try to keep it as simple as you can.
I did not have to show any evidence except for GIC 10K cad.
All the best
How did you conclude this is the most critical ? Its literally 1 line and most of the other points are directly hinted at source of income being the concern. There are lots of applicants with active FSW profiles. This VO seems to have gone extra mile and did a check on OP's profile in the GCMS system and seems like that's how he knows. They don't have this information handy otherwise.
The major concern here seems to be around your finances, this VO from AUH has surprisingly taken the time to write all the details. If you have huge deposits as Vo claims then you should trace them back to every single penny (bank statements, pay slips, etc and clearly document them). It is possible they might be old and have accrued interests over time then this also needs to be mentioned. I realize that these information should be served to them on platter very clearly otherwise they interpret it their own way.
Just ensure you possibly answer every single concern VO had, point by point. Its sad you were caught having a FSW profile which really seems like this VO dug into your profile in depth. I suggest getting some legal consultation before applying, you don't want to be caught misrepresenting.
That’s my opinion and I agree with you abt “this VO seems to have gone extra mile” which I'm a lil bit suprise that he/she did check OP’s wife profile on the system.
The other concerns about OP’s financial conditions are not too difficult to explain on the next SOP but how to change the VO’s mindset that OP just want to go to Can for immigrating instead of studying eventhough there is nothing wrong/bad with it. That’s why I thought it’s the critical reason for OP’s refusal.
The entire SP application process is very subjective. Depending on how VO perceives things the outcome will be entirely different for the same candidate. Also where you apply from also matter. AUH VO from what I know is the worst for mature candidates & expats from third world countries. We cant change how the process works and this is why you need to ensure that everything you submit is based on ''what VO wants to see'' and not what you feel is right or logical. I have seen so many rejection cases over past months that defeats every logic and reasoning out there.
I applied from India. But I have a massive UAE experience and I wrote a big para on my SOP about how I might consider moving back to the UAE to avail tax free benefits and year round warm weather.
What about those who apply from Dubai VFS? Even their files are checked at Abu Dhabi offices?
I see. Coz AUH office really is unfair to mature applicants. I got rejected recently and waiting for GCMS notes and will apply from India. So did you mention in your SOP that you are working in UAE or that you returned permanently ?
