1. Please accept my apologies.
2. It's nothing personal, I do not even know who he/she is.
3. It also depends on my mood, I had been quite upset with the handling of people's study permit applications by the IRCC.
4. Besides my email was already on the thread, you could have reached out to me. Look through the post you responded to, you will see that my email was already there.
So do not be sad or offended, feel free to mail me.
Cheers
Please help. This is my first attempt and I got denied for the following reasons:
r• 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 the purpose of your visit.
• 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 the limited employment prospects 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.
Below is my SOP. Right now I have no idea how approach these objections. Thanx as you respond.
Statement of Purpose for Preparatory Course for ACCA-Chartered Accountant Examination.
My name is Mustapha Agboola Ishola, a Nigerian national.
I work as a freelancer, offering audio production and accounting services for the music industry.
I have a Diploma in Accounting and Business from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
I worked briefly as a trainee accountant full-time, in hopes of combining work and study to become a chartered accountant, along with freelance audio production part-time.
As the demand for my freelance jobs increased, I resigned from my job and joined my passion for music with my accounting training, by offering audio production with accounting services specific to the entertainment industry .
Eventually, I abandoned the pursuit to become a Chartered accountant, my self-study pattern was inadequate to pass the exams along with the excitement of my growing clientele base and exposure to the music industry and the business aspects of it.
Over the years I have come to a plateau, as I compete and lose jobs to individuals and companies that have little or no experience of the music industry because they were perceived to be professionals with higher qualifications.
This has motivated me to retrace my steps back to the pursuit of becoming a chartered accountant.
To achieve this, I’ve decided to take a study break, away from my environment and the luring to do “one more job” to focus strictly on my studies. This time I chose a different approach from my unsuccessful self-study pattern, to study with an ACCA accredited tuition provider.The Toronto School of Management is a Gold Partner with ACCA, with a straightforward approach to completing the course in a very short time.
The Nigerian music industry is booming with multiple artistes breaking into the international scene as prominently evident in Beyonce’s “The Lion King: The Gift” album that featured roughly 70% Nigerian content. These and many more have paved the way to a torrential influx of revenue to the industry but there is a huge deficit in the area of financial management impacting both artistes and their art negatively. This is due to the lack of professional accountants with knowledge and expertise in the field.
I have the knowledge and experience of the music industry, I want to gain the expertise and professionalism that comes with being a Chartered accountant with ACCA whose certification is highly valued in my home country.
I hope to return to Nigeria and harness this overlooked and untapped opportunity, by creating a niche service, providing business/financial management and consultancy to Nigerian Artistes, record labels and the Entertainment industry on a professional level.
Canada is arguably the world’s leading study hub with its relatively affordable yet unmatched quality of education. It’s the high quality of living and openness to all cultures attracts everybody to this great nation and I am not an exception. I would love to have the Canadian experience while studying and preparing myself for the future I so desire to attain. I am certain that in no time my pursuit to be ACCA Chartered Accountant shall be achieved given the sophisticated training methods offered in Canada.

You confused the visa officer ni, first thing you must note about Canadians is that they value people that are focused on one thing, it's either you are an accountant or a musician, your bachelor's degree should align with your next level of study, even if you don't have experience yet explain why you don't have, don't jump from accountant to musician how will the visa officer understand?
I am a baker but during my application, I threw it away, I focused more on my first degree biochemistry, I told them my exploit in the field and how I was going to do more
Please be more straight forward okay my dear

You are welcome to this thread. Please read through all my posts to learn a thing or two about the Canadian application process.
Here are my suggestions
1. Forget that accounting business and face your music production.
2. Investigate either of the following courses and apply for either or all of them
a) https://www.centennialcollege.ca/programs-courses/full-time/music-industry-arts-performance/
b) https://www.fanshawec.ca/programs/apr1-audio-post-production/next
c) https://academics.sheridancollege.ca/programs/music-scoring-screen-stage?utm_medium=website&utm_source=ontariocolleges&utm_campaign=ocas-programs
3. Repackage yourself and application, get yourself a website, or YouTube page where you can build a portfolio of your body of work, upload them there incase the VO would like to verify your proficiency in music production.
I think there is a lot of potential for you to get your approval, you just need to have a clear purpose, ability to fund it and show intent to return which you have partially shown here.
All the best.

As a Nigerian who recently got denied this last week. Reason that
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay. Based on your family ties in Canada and in your home country
so please how do I go about it ?
Hello Yelnats,
I am sorry to hear about the refusal of your application. If that is all you have been refused for then it means you did well. Your purpose was clear, your funding was adequate, you were unable to convince the visa officer of your intention to return to Nigeria upon completion of your studies.
I would suggest you get the gcms notes, read through critically and address the issues raised. You are more likely to get your approval if you address those issues.
All the best.
Omofar
Your choice of words for someone's SOP is poor. If it were about how impeccable one's SOP is, your application would not have been refused. You may have suggested that he needs to critically review it and work on it to make it better.
Cheers.
