Then concerning funds and assets you need to show bank statement with funds equal to at least one year of ur program but to be on the safer side present a bank statement showing enough funds to complete your studies and that will take care of you there proven to them that you will not become a burden to the Canadian government. Then you have to show landed properties in your name or willed to u and other things like ur employment prospects which need documents too.

HELLO GUYS.
PLEASE DOES ANYONE HAVE A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. I NEED HELP ON HOW TO APPROACH THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I REAPPLY FOR MY STUDY PERMIT.
I am a sports teacher from cameroon working for the public service and i got accepted at bishops University to study sports.i applied for my visa on the 10 of july 2018 and was rejected on the 3rd of August.The reason being
I am not satisfied you will leave canada based on :
- Purpose of Visit
-Personal Asset and Finanacial Status

My father is my sponsor i provided all his bank statements and personal assets but it i did not no that i was suppose to provide my own financial situtation that i will rectify when reapply . My problem now i dont know how to justifiy the purpose of visit since i already showed them my scholarship letter and proof of school fee payment. Please i will appreciate help from anyone out there. I intend to reapply very soon against my next entry session in 2019.
Maybe trying adding an SOP wherein you mention clearly your motivation as to why you chose this college, why Canada, how exactly will degree help you, etc. may enable you to overcome the 'Purpose of Visit' point.

here is the sop i submitted guys pls take a look and tell me my flaws please

APPLICATION FOR STUDY PERMIT
Respected Sir/Madam,
I Tang Leonard Asobo has Completed High school from Progressive Comprehensive
High School Bamenda with the General Certificate of Education Ordinary level and
Advanced level and also graduated from the National Institute of Youths and Sports with
Higher National Diploma (HND) in sports. Following this, I have been working for the
Ministry of Sports and Physical Education (MINSPE) as a secondary school sports teacher
for 4 years. As a teacher, I am kindled with an ambition of higher education that will give a
desired push to my aspiration as professional coach. With a strong will to pursue my further
studies in Canada, I strongly believe I am prepared because of the following reasons;
I was brought up in a well-disciplined and Christian family and this helped me to
maintain a consistent excellent academic, moral and extracurricular record. I captained the
football school teams both in high school and Professional school. I have won the Gold medal
twice for best outstanding performance at the National FENASCO sports competition from
2010 to 2014 and was also awarded the best teacher of the year in 2016-2017 at Tassah
Secondary Academy where I currently teach.
I grew up in a neighborhood where football had a major impact in our community.
Throughout my life, I have been a keen sportsman. Playing football both in school and in club
competitions. My passion for coaching began when I joined my high school football team as
captain at 16 years old. My dedication, loyalty, leadership and team spirit which I
demonstrated inspired me to become a professional football coach. Also, I have seen how great
men like Sir Alex Ferguson change people’s life’s through football coaching and I will be
delighted if I am able to do the same mostly to young football talented Cameroonians that are
unable to excel in sports. Following this, I believe it is time for me to further deepen and refine
my expertise through football coaching course which has led to me take admission in one of the
top Universities in Canada.
PURPOSE OF VISIT
I have been offered admission with 5000 CAD Scholarship for 4 years sports study
program at Bishops University Quebec, Canada which is currently the first institution for
student’s satisfaction in Canada. The Sports program which I intend to do at Bishops University
will cover courses which were not offered when I was in professional school. Some of these
courses are : The theory of coaching, Advanced Exercise Science, Cognition and motivation
in sports, statistical analysis for business decisions ,physical and mental health and so much
more which I could not acquire at my previous school.
Furthermore, we live in a society where almost everything is done with the use of
technology. The application of latest technologies in sports such as the sensor pad, radio chip and
the Hawk eye is of major of importance for an aspiring professional coach. I want to be part of
the current and future changes that are coming. When I see what we are able to do now with
technology that we couldn’t even tend to do 20 years ago, goal line tech, work rate evaluation,
action analysis, real time simulations, limitless ways to help a football team achieve its
objectives which I think all of these is all about .As a sportsman, I ascertain to the fact that my
country is far from embracing this improvements not because of financial limitations but
unskilled workers as technology in sports is concerned. I believe studying sports at Bishops
University will put me at the cutting edge and spotlight of these facilities and with the
knowledge acquired, I will be able contribute positively to this factor in my country.
WHY CANADA?
I short-listed two colleges, one in Canada and the other in Australia. After consulting with
my parents (father), sibling’s seniors and deep research from the internet, I am strongly
convinced that Canada is a better option as it has developed a first-rate education system with
high standards and global recognition.
Canadian culture is more diverse and vibrant. It is considered peaceful, safe and orderly
country. Being a country of immigrants from all over the World, different perspectives are
respected and learning together is encouraged. Tuition fees and living expenses are also in favour
of Canada when compared to other countries with equally good education system like the United
States of America.
WHY BISHOPS UNIVERSITY?
I have come to learn that Bishops University is one of largest, most diversified and highly
respected University in Canada. Bishops University is well known for its outstanding annual
award by MacLean’s Magazine as Best University of student’s satisfaction. The University
provides excellent facilities and opportunities which is ideal for me in pursuing my career as a
coach, since it provides a unique mix of educational advantages. This program brings together
participants from all over the world, so I would be in contact with diverse cultures and I would
also develop an international network. It would be very rewarding to share and exchange
thoughts and ideas with a group of people who are from different nationalities, cultural
orientations and schools of thought on one platform.
FUTURE PLANS AFTER STUDIES
I am currently a government teacher on a study leave with pay . To maintain my
employment status, I am required by the government to come back home after studies with
certificates achieved so as to be considered for pension, change of category and promotion into
Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT). Also, I have been guaranteed a job position as
interim coach for the Cameroon Junior National team when I return from studies. My
objective is to acquire valuable skills so as to increase the professional values of football
environment in my country by encouraging active task performance, challenging and
constructive team participation in the realization of organizational goals .After being a part of
Bishops University I strongly believe, I would grow into a Professional and an outstanding
graduate. I am also my late mother’s next of Kin by tradition and I must come back home to
fulfill my traditional rights.
PERSONAL ASSETS AND FINANCES
My sponsor (student’s Father) has paid my enrollment deposit and is showing sufficient
funds and personal assets (Land certificate and Tenancy agreement documents) to meet the
University’s Tuition fee, travelling expenses and my living cost during my stay in Canada. I
have enclosed all required documents with my application.
Please I will be delighted if my request is considered positively and as early as possible, so
that I would meet my course in time and one more please find the necessary documents attached
with this application.
Thanks
Yours Truly,
TANG LEONARD ASOBO

Did you show enough money in liquid form such as bank statements that is enough to cover tuition + 10-15000 for first year? Fixed assets don't have a much weight. Also what supporting documents did your sponsor show? Look closely at the requirements for sponsors for your visa office.
