I am 39 years old, Indian, Civil Engineer with 15 years of project controls experience, living in Kuwait. In my first application, I have applied with my 2 children. Reason for refusal Visa officer not convinced that I will leave Canada based on 1) immigration status 2) ties in Canada and...

@MunnaIndia join here please. Did you get your visa approved?

@Shaild do you like to join this group?

I have applied for visa in Oct 2020 and was refused on Nov 2020. It was for MBA, Jan-21 intake, UCW. I have re-applied on 20th Dec 2020 for Apr-21 intake, UCW and waiting for a decision.

I applied on 20th December 2020 from Kuwait Biometric was already there from my previous application. Eligibility review started on 16th Jan 2021 Received submission confirmation on 4th Feb 2021 Nothing after that. Still waiting

Where did you apply from? UAE? Bahrain? Kuwait? Did your eligibility review start? Biometric updated? Got submission confirmation letter? Nowadays it’s taking more than 2 months for a decision.

You should look at my profile, many consultants told me I have a strong profile. I understand the decision is based on VO’s gut feeling. Why do they think I will go through all this process, get a study permit in Canada and illegally stay there when I have a valid USA visa till 2027 and I have...

After my refusal I felt the same. They did not even read my SOP or review my documents. May be it all depends on who gets your file in Abu Dhabi visa office.

I didn’t do medical. We don’t need medical when we apply from GCC if we have not travelled to any designated countries in last 6 months and also depends on our program, if we have applied for a program in medical field it’s better to do upfront medical.

I was not able to login to my GCkey today. I don’t see any notice of website maintenance. I believe, It usually happens when they are reviewing our files. Mostly after this I see a application/profile update. Waiting for a decision soon.

I believe there are a few people who got approval(PPR). It all depends on your profile, specially choice of program, university/college, age, home ties etc etc.

Ok I can understand that. Even my LOA is from UCW. Anyway I got admission in New Zealand too for 2022. So will try that if this whole thing doesn’t work out.

Thank you Shaild! Which university/college are you going to?

I did not do upfront medical.

Wishing you best of luck

Yes my status changed to reviewing eligibility. This is my second application from Kuwait. My first one was refused in which I have included my children. This one I have applied alone. But I am expecting another refusal. I don’t think anything can convince VO’s in Abudhabi office. Anyway from...

I applied on Dec 20.. I am on eligibility check since Jan 16, nothing else other than that.waiting..

I clearly understand how difficult is it to get a study permit for an expat applying from Middle East and my submitted second application is my last try. I am not so desperate to study or get a Canadian PR. To be honest, my children who are 16 years old and 14years old prefer to do their...

Yes I know that there are international universities in Middle East. In Kuwait’s international universities, most of the students are nationals so lecturers are mostly Arabic speaking and they deliver lectures in Arabic (at times), for the majority to understand. I would prefer to do my MBA...

Thank you for the advise. In my second application I have attached a letter from the employer stating that I will be employed as a Project Manager on completion of my MBA. To get a PR in Kuwait, it’s never ever possible, even the residency permit for expats, they renew it yearly.
