Thank you. My parents will serve as my sponsors.
I have reviewed page 155 of the thread. It's insightful but nothing specific to my situation.
My profile Is rather complex because I have been unemployed for almost a year. How do you suggest I tackle this issue as one of the reasons for refusals is 'current employment status'
Hello Vicky_7,
Again, your overall profile will determine whether or not you will be issued a study permit as I stated on page 155 of this thread, for example previous travel history is also a strong consideration to infer an applicant's behavior if issued a study permit. I also do agree with
@Simba112 that you will now have to get creative about your personal circumstances. You can talk about how the emergence of the global pandemic lockdowns limited employment opportunities, did you by any chance get involved in any voluntary work, since you are going to study peace and conflict studies, you can talk about the current unrest in the country and how an international credential can position you to get into public service or NGOs to help IDPs etc, and how now that everywhere is easing up, you would like to use this opportunity to improve on your credentials by acquiring a Canadian degree that will enable you to become more competitive upon your return to Nigeria. You will also highlight briefly the opportunities in the industry of interest in Nigeria and how a foreign credential will give you an advantage over your colleagues who studied similar courses in Nigeria. blah, blah, blah.
Just get creative, the onus is on you to write a compelling personal statement.
All the best.
