I dont think they make enough money just by the applications. I am pretty sure these must be some high paying jobs. However, imagine the influx of foreign currency they get via colleges and banks (GIC). This amount sits in bank accounts of colleges/universities for months. This helps boost their GDP and steady influx of cash flow which is then invested by banks as lending's and get high interests.

The problem is the sheer inefficiency of a developed country to manage a crisis. VO should not take this just as another job. This is essential service and people's life depends on it. If it means putting in few extra hours few days to finish the work they should do it (paid offcourse). I dont understand why there is still no sense of urgency in any of the processes they have inspite of getting so much of financial support from people willing to come to Canada and study. Someone in higher authority to hold them accountable for not managing their jobs. I have friends on PR who mention everything in Canada is very slow as compared to other countries. A simple job which should take few hours takes upto a week.

I am paying my fees in a University (while my refund is still stuck in my previous college), the money loss I have incurred in just paying fees is around 500 dollars each time (due to foreign exchange rules set by the third party fee payment routes of the uni/college) and the fees the college received was not even the amount I sent, it was a deficit of 300 dollars. Can you imagine the business they are getting? My two refusals costed me another something near 1500 CAD. Now onto my 3rd application with new fees etc. CAD has gone higher and the fees in SAR has gone 3-4K CAD higher due to increment in CAD value.
This is a multi million dollar business!!! Frustrated but Ofcourse won’t give up after investing thousands of dollars!!!!!!!!
The banks here alone cost so much to transfer fees as they can’t do wiring ( in KSA). The people like us who are going through this drain of dollars will understand when they are wrongly refused!

Are you going to apply your third application from UAE as well ? I am preparing for my second application and no way I am going via AUH office again as it is evident and clear they will not fairly evaluate my application.

NO WAY! I applied from Riyadh by the way and I’m waiting for restrictions to ease and will travel to India. I read the PH Applicant case where they wrote “applying from” as PH. If you know more about it, let me know.
3rd application from KSA inspite of changing my program and applying alone + I have full funds for my entire education and living yet I know what the result will be.
