Definitely make changes in the SOP when you receive the GCMS notes and provide explanation for the refusal reasons. As @Naturgrl said, they will just say why can’t you train him and not spend so much money on a Canadian education, you can explain it by saying that your son doing that particular program will learn about (talk about the courses in his program) which would help enhance your business or expand it etc. make a story around that and how that education & its exposure will help him in his career (but explain in a sophisticated way) It’s not impossible.
do you also suggest I should make a GIC account for my Son with 10K CAD. Though it is not a mandatory requirement if you apply from UAE for Student Visa. But I can make a GIC investment certificate on my Son account in Canada. During the first application process I have shown liquidity of 50,000 CAD in my various bank accounts, bonds & securities, apart from 3 properties in India and UAE.

Hello Guys,

Got the GCMS note of my Son.

here we go..



Label: General Office: Abu Dhabi
Text: I have reviewed the application.

Taking the applicant's plan of studies into account, the documentation provided in support of the applicant's financial situation does not demonstrate that funds would be sufficient or available. I am not satisfied that the proposed studies would be a reasonable expense. Bank statements fluctuate considerably & showing a low closing balance. As such, I am not satisfied that the applicant has access to sufficient funds to cover studies and expenses in Canada.

20yrs old. Indian ctzen. single.

Seeking SW-1 to study Attestation of college studies prog in lnt'I trade at TAV college.

PA has been working as Procurement Assistant in dubai since feb 2020 in UAE ; prior to that has worked as Ecommerce support system in dubai.

I am not satisfied that the applicant would leave Canada at the end of their stay as a temporary resident, I note that:

-the client is single, mobile and is not sufficiently established in his country of residence/home country. Weak professional and economic ties to COR and home country.

-the client is employed as an accountant with a modest salary and funds. Weak professional and

The study plan does not appear reasonable given the applicant's employment and education history. I note that:

-the client's proposed studies are not reasonable given their career path. Study plan is vague and general. Applicant's study plan is not well developed. Taking into consideration all factors, including the program of study and its link to current employment and future plans, previous education, I am not satisfied that the intended studies make sense given the significant cost and the applicant's previous study/work history. Benefit to applicant's career plan is not established.


Taking the applicant's current employment situation into consideration, the employment does not demonstrate that the applicant is sufficiently well established that the applicant would leave Canada at the end of a period of authorized stay.

Based on the applicant's limited employment prospects in their country of residence/citizenship, I have accorded less weight to their ties to their country of residence/citizenship.

Weighing the factors in this application. I am not satisfied that the applicant will depart Canada at the end of the period authorized for their stay.

For the reasons above, I have refused this application.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am sponsoring my Son studies and for the fund related issue, as noted by the VO, I know the issue since I have multiple bank saving certificate and investments, maybe that would have confused. I will summaries it to have clear view on the available funds. any other suggestion related to fund to note?

I would also need your expert advice which point you think should I improve, as my Son has took a break from studies for a year and started to work and then covid happened and he couldn't start his study again and he was working until March 2021

He pass his 12th in 2018 and now applying for Dip in International trade as he want to build his carrier in this field.

Thanks in advance for all your recommendations

He should apply for a Bachelor's degree at a public university, and for a meaningful program that will open doors for him to pursue a solid career in the future. He should also write his own study plan and passionately explain his future goals - short, medium, long term - and how this study in Canada would help him achieve them.

Thanks for the reply.

He doesn't want to pursue Bachelor Degree as it would take 4 long years

How old is he? Maybe your son should look at different countries rather than applying to a private college in Canada for a 2 year program that has limited career opportunities. A diploma in international trade with high school education is not going to give him any career advancement in his home country. Also it seems he can’t afford his studies. He doesn’t live in his home country so needs to show strong ties.

Right so if he is supporting your business then why does he need a diploma in international trade from a private (not public) bilingual college in Quebec. Again makes no sense. You keep saying “I will clarify”. It is not you applying, it is your son. He is 20 so needs to show his own ties not yours.

It's very clear to the visa officer that the applicant is trying to immigrate and stay in Canada. No one is going to believe you have to fly all the way to Montreal to study in a private college just to work in a family business in India.

GCMS NOTE:

I am not satisfied that the applicant would leave Canada at the end of their stay as a temporary resident, I note that:

-the client is single, mobile and is not sufficiently established in his country of residence/home country. Weak professional and economic ties to COR and home country.


Family ties in the United Arab Emirates.

I would like to elucidate that I live in the UAE with my parents and my sister I completed all my schooling in here. UAE is my second home; I share a great bond with the people and community here. Other than closely related family, I have many friends residing here. I am well acquainted to the culture and we have been good residents of the country. I have resident permit of UAE, under my father's sponsorship which is renewed every year. My father resident permit is sponsored by his company, which is renewed every three years. My mother & sister have resident permit of UAE, under my father sponsorship and renewed every three years.

We own a property in Dubai where we presently live (Ref Financial Support Document: Exhibit D).

In the future picture, I certainly see myself living with my parents in UAE, as they approach a certain age in which they will need all my support. Moreover, my elder sister will be getting married by end of this year and moving out, this makes it evident that my parents will be on their own in the coming years. My parents have been very considerate towards all my needs and that being said I ought to do the same for them. Being the only son I am bound to come back thus making my ties to my family and country of residence undeniably profound.

Family ties in India.

My parents, my sister and I are all born in India. My maternal and paternal grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and other innumerous relatives stay in India. We are very cultured and a close family and celebrate all the festivals in as a family gathering, it has been a ritual of visiting our family in India and celebrate all the big occasions and festivals with all family members in India. The last 2 years we haven’t travel to India due to the emergence of Covid-19.

We own ancestral properties which are maintained by us remotely and by other family members. My parents also own two properties of their own in Mumbai, India. ((Ref Financial Support Document: Exhibit E)

I have NO family ties in Canada.

I would like to elucidate that I have no family ties in Canada. As far as I know, none of my distant relatives have even visited Canada. The only reason I want to visit Canada is to achieve the degree so that when I come back I can enhance my career.

You don't seem to fully understand what the crux of your rejection is.

It's about the choice of study not making sense, period. From your notes:

the client's proposed studies are not reasonable given their career path. Study plan is vague and general. Applicant's study plan is not well developed. Taking into consideration all factors, including the program of study and its link to current employment and future plans, previous education, I am not satisfied that the intended studies make sense given the significant cost and the applicant's previous study/work history. Benefit to applicant's career plan is not established.

Attempting to address home ties is majoring on the minor. Even the VO clearly said he is less worried about your home ties because you have no employment prospect, as a result of your program choice:

Based on the applicant's limited employment prospects in their country of residence/citizenship, I have accorded less weight to their ties to their country of residence/citizenship.

Everything else is secondary. Like we have unanimously advised you here: your son needs to change his program of study to one that will give him better prospects and career in the future. A diploma in an obscure program will not do that.

Hi thanks for your reply.

Of course I understand you point for the choice of course and I am preparing a separate explanation for that. which I will share once ready. I idea for me posting the LOE for Family tie, coz I need to clarify VO concern as stated in the rejection letter, which also included one of the reason as "weak family tie"
