A lot of the time the application is declined because the officer is not convinced of one of two things: 1. That you have enough money to support yourself while studying, and 2. that you intend to leave after your studies are over. Because a study permit is essentiall a temporary visitor's permit, it is like going on a really big holiday, so all of your expenses and costs need to be proven on applicaiton, for the first year at least. The regulations state that in addition to the tuition being paid in full, you must show at least 10K for living expenses. This is additon to travel costs, which will be about 1-3K. Lastly, you need to prove that you will leave the country when you're permit expires. Did you include any relatives in your application who are currently residing in Canada? If yes, then the officer will see that as evidence you won't leave.

Thanks chrbrow.

Yeah my own sister is Permanent Resident in Canada.

I need to return to India and look after my parents. My intention is to study and work for an year or 2. Get exposure and come back.

I had submitted agriculture land holding certificate.
What other documents I can show that I have strong ties to India

 

[chrbrow]

Well, that's a good question.
1. Finances - you can prove that you have enough money to support yourself
2. Intention to leave - you can prove you intend to leave at the end of the permit.
a) Are you currently employed? Could you have your employer write a letter confirming your job on your return?
b) Do you own any property or assets in India? Can you prove that? - that's a big one
c) Bank account in India?
d) Also, can you include a letter from a non-family source that backs your intention to go back to India?
The truth is that since your sister is already a PR, things are already working against you. You need to show that YOUR life and assets remain in India, where your life is.
Good Luck

How about a Permanent Resident/ citizen in Canada who wants to support his half sister while studying ?

 

[chrbrow]

That is probably the reason you're being declined. The regulations state that temporary visitors, which covers students authorized by study permits, MUST prove they are to support themselves financially and that you fully intend to leave on the end of your permit. Having another PR in Canada, sister or not, as a financial resource is not proof that you are financially fit to enter the country and does not assure that you will be able to support yourself. Also, if the bank account you intend to fund from, or in this case, your sister's, is already in Canada, it displays a strong connection to Canada (and not your home country) - Remember that under the eyes of the regulations, you are a visitor to the country here to study. Technically, you are drawing money, resources and stability from India, not Canada.

I've come to know that it is quite common for study permits to be declined if you already have a family member living in Canada. Money that is transferring to you via a Canadian source will be viewed as a negative impact on the economy (philosophically speaking).

I would reapply with strong evidence of financial stability in a bank account in India, following the requirements without listing or displaying any contact to Canadian ties.

Hope that makes sense

Order your CAIPS/GCMS notes. Read them carefully and prepare your next application fully addressed with the issues of first rejection.

Good Luck.

 

[Akarsh G]

Thanks everyone for replying.

I have shown strong financial support. My sister need not support me while i am in Canada.

GIC ($10000) Paid + 1st Semester Fees: Paid + Education Loan Sanction Letter ($22000)+ Deposit in my Account=$6000 and Currently working Banking Industry

How to apply for CAIPS/GCMS notes? Applying from India how many days it takes? Can we apply from Canada?

Found this through google : http://www.visafile.info/

Try google and maybe you will get more options.

Good Luck.

Thanks chrbrow.

1. Finances - you can prove that you have enough money to support yourself - I have sufficient fund to support myself
2. Intention to leave - you can prove you intend to leave at the end of the permit.
a) Are you currently employed? Could you have your employer write a letter confirming your job on your return? - Yes, I am currently employed, need check with my employer - Not sure they are ready to wait for 2 year (2 year course and planning to work for 1 yr) or more?
b) Do you own any property or assets in India? Can you prove that? - that's a big one -- My father own agricultural land. I had attached land holding certificate when i had applied Visa.
c) Bank account in India? Yes - I do have 2 accounts (Salary + Personal A/C). Show some funds in Personal A/C
d) Also, can you include a letter from a non-family source that backs your intention to go back to India? - Is it ok to get letter from Uncle or non-family member? How non-family member adds-on value ? Guess there should be some tie up but how?
The truth is that since your sister is already a PR, things are already working against you. You need to show that YOUR life and assets remain in India, where your life is. - Yeah, might be in a way but it all depends how i convince visa officer

 

[Akarsh G]

Is CAIPS and Access to Information and Personal Information Request (IMM556) are same?

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/form-imm5563.asp found similar to CAIP. I was thinking my sister who stays in canada can request on my behalf it takes 30 days. If i apply it takes 6 to 8 weeks.

I heard people saying that students who are going to university have More visa chances than the ones going to college. Don't know is it correct.

 

[futurestudent]

Please submit a good letter of explanation along with SOP and try to get a recommendation letter from the college. I have few samples if you need then send me a msg with your email id.
