Dear All, I applied for NON-SDS from Oman on June 2021

I was offered admission from Memorial University to study PhD (Environmental Science).
I have both BSc (Environmental Science) and MSc (Environmental Science).

I worked as research assistant with more than 20 peer review publications in Scopus index journals in a field of Environmental Science.

I received CAD$ 20,000 per year for 4 years from Memorial University, i also provided additional funding of CAD$ 18,0000 from my personal saving

The tuition fee of Memorial University is about CAD$, 4,497/year . I also included documents of my personal business from Ghana to this application.

I am from Ghana, i live in Oman, i applied the visa from Oman. I have previously received visa rejection from US Embassy in the year 2017.
i have a family of 3 children and a spouse , i am 39 years. i applied for the visa alone.

This the refusal letter:

"Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. After careful review of your study permit application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application on the following grounds:
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your current employment situation.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your immigration status.

You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be accompanied by a new processing fee."

I think you need to show more funds, as you have many dependents.
Please share how you have shown the financial plans.

I’m going to study alone in Canada, I’m not going with my family. So CAD$ 20,000 scholarship for 4 years plus my personal savings of CAD$ 18, 000 are not enough for a single PhD student? . I believe they are trying everything possible to limit entry of many students into Canada amid this current COVID pandemic. It’s up to them , I do not have any control over their decisions.

 

[alfakido]

Write a strong justification letter and apply in sds now.

Any update?

 

[mhdcanada]

Your immigration status could possibly be a major issue. Applying from gulf countries as a non-citizen is always a high chance of getting rejected. Until unless you have surplus funds available.
