Hello,
I have an admission letter from a university in Canada for MBA course. However my study visa has been refused.
My husband is a Canadian PR. I applied to as an international student showing my father in law as my sponsor. I showed 25%. Of the total fees as liquid money in our accounts, scholarship letter and property assessment on the name of sponsor. But my visa was denied for following reasons:
1. They think I won't be able to pay my tuition fee.
2. I will not leave canada because of family in Canada and in country if residence.
3. Financial status and assets in country of residence
4. Purpose of visit
5. Other reason that my proposed course is not in line with my education and previous employment.

I am an engineering graduate and have been employed in power sector for past 4 years. Now I want to pursue MBA.
I attached the above mentioned financial proofs and original acceptance letter from university. Please advice what should I do. My classes will start next month.

It sounds like you didn't show sufficient funds for one. You needed to show enough liquid money to cover first year tuition + $10K in living exepenses + $2-3K in travel expenses.

Hello. Thanks for response.
I want to confirm the following:
1. Is sponsorship from my in laws and from my husband for complete tuition and expenses is acceptable?
2. Is it necessary to take loan on my name, even if my sponsors can show enough liquid funds for complete tuition and expenses? Also my husband has a job in canada, and i can show his employement letter and payslips.
3. My Husband is a PR, which implies them that I may not come back as i have family ties is Canada. How should I respond to it.

What kind of scholarship did the university offer? I mean, how much does this cover for your tuition fee?

Soon InshAllah
What is the duration of the program? A year or two? U also need to accomodate the expenses of living for first year i.e 10000 CAD
if u hv shown 50000 already and ur showing 15000 in sholorship form then ur stil left with 27000 tht needs to be paid in future (including living xpenses)
If ur husband is going to be ur sponsor n if he has enough money then u wont hv any financial issue but u stil have to prove tht u will return after completion of studies which is pretty damn difficult for u seeing tht ur husband is a canadian resident.
Changing the passport to husband's name is a pretty logical thing to do.
Even if u deal wd al other reasons of refusal u hv mentioned above, u stil wld remain wd the second reason..ur family ties in canada and country of residence. Which family tie is stronger then a spousal tie? Ur strongest tie is in canada..u can show financial ties or employment ties or something n try

Should I mention that I will be applying for inland PR application based of spouse sponsorship ?
DON'T THINK ABOUT IT!!
they have already mentioned that you will not leave Canada due to family in Canada, by doing this you will destroy your case.
talk about it to a genuine counsellor.
BEST OF LUCK ;) ;)

1) Firstly, if you husband is a Canadian PR - why did not he sponsor you and applied for your PR. [ Thats a big question running into their mind ]
2) Fees shown is very low
3) How much assets did you show that will bring you back to the home country ?

You have not shown any ties that proves you will come back to India. It is very difficult to convince visa officer that your intention of going to Canada is for studies.


You could have shown dual intent - you want to visit ur husband, spend some time together and finish up your studies.

I am not going into the financial part of the whole stuff partly because i may not be much knowledgeable on that.

But what surprises me is that in-spite of your husband being a Canadian PR holder why are you applying there as an international student and paying thrice the tuition fee for your studies (not sure about your relationships with your husband).
Rather the easier route for you would have been that you apply for your own PR first (independently) or your Canadian husband sponsors you for PR and once you get your PR, you can apply for your admission as a local student thereby paying much less fee and also no need to show PoF etc etc...

According to me these may be the main reason why you may have been denied the student visa.
