did you pay your 1st semester fee?
if not then you should do that,
and off course you need to show the bank statement of your sponsor with enough funds to support your studies + bank covering letter. salary slips if employed & if bussines man the bussines profile letter ntn certificates.etc
this is the most common reason that the visa officer gives after recjecting applications.

Hey guys. Sorry for the late reply. Winnipeg is super cold at this time. And in jan it will go as far as -40 or more so pack your warmest clothes. And try to bring your own pillows and quilts. You have to wear layers of clothes to stay warm. Gloves and head gear are a must. Baqi its an awesome place.

Secondly. I wasn't asked for anything except my passport/visa at the poe. But everyone isnt always lucky and sometimes they ask for more. So be sure to take all your university docs, results, bank statement, police certificates etc. Hope you guys get your visas soon. I got mine 2 months after my medical.
