I think a Judicial Review takes ages upon ages. It is very unfortunate that you had to spend so much money, especially on an Immigration Consultant. You seem to be a very well spoken person and I am pretty sure you are well educated. A bit of research online you would have put together at least an equally good application.
I actually submitted the first application myself, but when it was denied, I was advised to engage a consultant- I could almost swear that the new application would be approved, going by how much work was done- especially in my SOP and my consultant's Representative Submission Letter. But I guess this isn't just a good time.
Guy,
Hi Dream_Pretty26,
Thank you for your response boss.
Damn
Sorry to hear about the refusal. Did you receive an AIP before getting this refusal? May I ask where you're from, where you applied from, what program are pursuing? Your answers could help the forum with their applications and help us give you ideas on your next application.
No I haven't received AIP. I'm Chinese and I applied from Beijing. I applied EAPP, not SDS. However, I uploaded my general training IELTS which reached 6666 standards, also GIC, but without one year tution fees (just one semester).
I will advise you to take it one step after the other (though I doubt that is a viable option, because you are not a permanent resident of the UK, so the exchange program may not apply to you). So get your UK offer, get your UK visa, go to the UK, graduate, apply for the post graduate work permit there, gain UK work experience, then if you still interested in Canada, apply for Express entry from the UK.
Hi,
Sad to read about your situation. Accept my sympathy! What you should have done after the first refusal is to go for judicial review without the reapplication. The chances of refusal after an initial rejection is 90%. Your case might have been much easier for JR after the first refusal. It works, and I encourage everyone refused to take this route of JR, if you have the funds. It is worth doing rather than take the nonsense the Visa Officer states on the application. How do you determine that a person will not return to his country after studies in two years? The Federal Court has repeatedly ruled such assessment to be unreasonable. With all the documentation supporting your application, they might not even defend your case if the Department of Justice sees that you have a strong case. Although you may be out of time for JR (60 days), you might still be able to apply for extension of time within which to bring a JR, and with COVID-19, there are chances you would succeed.
