[lagosboy]

HI EVERYONE
IM A 24 YEAR OLD MATURE STUDENT FROM ABUJA, NIGERIA, I GOT ADMISSION LAST YEAR TO STUDY AT WATERLOO FOR JAN 08, BUT WAS REFUSED A STUDY PERMIT ON GROUNDS THAT I WNT RETURN TO MY HOME COUNTRY AFTER MY STUDIES + IM NOT A BONAFIDE STUDENT, EVEN THO I SUBMITTED ALL THE RELEVANT DOCS.

NOW IVE DEFERRED MY ADMISSION TILL SEP 08 IN ORDER TO REAPPLY AGAIN. THOUGH I WAS OUT OF SCHOOL BETWEEN SEPT 03 - SEPT 07, I PROVIDED ALL NECESSARY EVIDENCE THAT IVE BEEN GAINING SOME WORK EXPOSURE AT OUR FAMILY COMPANY.

I HAVE AN AUNT IN CANADA WHO IS A CITIZEN AND WANTS TO HELP BUT DNT KNOW HOW. ANYWAY, IVE BEEN ADVISED TO REAPPLY AGAIN BY MY AGENT, I DONT KNOW IF THERE AR ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO CHANGES OR ADDITIONS TO MAKE IN MY NEW APPLICATION.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I REALLY NEED YOUR ADVISE!

Hi Lagosboy,

Am a Nigerian in the same situation with you but my own case is quite different because no reason was given for my own refusal,if you have a yahoo email add you can post it so i will add it to my messenger and we can talk more,also when was your application refused,and what is the level of your education before you apply.

Cheers

Otunba,

How now? I have a-levels dating back to 2003. Its really not about my qualifications, since I've secured a place at a good university. Its obvious they have a problem coming to terms with the reason why Ive been out of school for a while. Heard they play it tough with mature students. Its a little painful cuz my intentions are pure. Got refused this january. Anyway, yours is a funny one. What I'm thinking is that they forgot to tick an option, probably due to oversight. I dont use yahoo as email, but will create one over the next few days. Holla back!
