I have been admitted to University of Waterloo for MMath CS for Fall 18. I had applied for study permit on 24th May 2018 from India and my application was rejected (reasons below). I have put together a letter of explanation for the refusal. If interested, please review the same and post your thoughts, might be very helpful for me and other re-applicants.

Really appreciate your time :) Here's the draft:


Subject: Student Visa Permit Re-application Reference File no: ***

Respected Authority,

This letter is in reference to the re-application of my student visa. My previous application was returned with a couple of questions, which I have respectfully answered in this application. I have also made significant changes to my study permit application by adding new documents, as listed towards the end of this letter.

Please allow me to address the reasons that were stated in the correspondence letter, which are as follows:

1. You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay. In reaching this decision, I considered several factors, including:
· Purpose of visit
· Travel history
2. Your proposed studies are not reasonable in light of one or more of:

· Your language qualifications are insufficient.


JUSTIFICATION:

(a) Purpose of Visit

I have been admitted to the prestigious University of Waterloo for Master of Mathematics in Computer Science (Coursework) program. This program is offered by University of Waterloo’s Cheriton School of Computer Science department, which is very well reputed globally and is home to several distinguished computer scientists.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science & Engineering and for the past two years, I have been working as Business Intelligence and Analytics Consultant in Bangalore. My current job involves helping organizations extract useful information with data analytics and mathematical models. I have realized that in order to engage in challenging projects for data analytics, I need to undertake graduate studies and build upon my knowledge. There is a considerable overlap between Mathematics and Computer Science, especially when dealing with data analytics. Cheriton School of Computer Science offers several courses that incorporate this overlap very well.

My sole purpose of visiting Canada is to attend University of Waterloo for this program. I wish to learn advanced computer science subjects specializing in data analytics as it will help me expand my knowledge & expertise in this field. I also wish to interact with the pioneers of this field at University of Waterloo, and learn from their experience.

Upon completion of my program in Canada, I wish to return to my family in India and pursue a career in data analytics. India is an emerging data analytics hub for both private and government organizations. This field holds immense potential for professionals with an advanced skillset in data analytics. A graduate degree from University of Waterloo coupled with two years of work experience in India, will help me pursue a challenging career at research and development departments related to data analytics in India.

To further underline my purpose of visiting Canada, I have attached the receipt of my first-year tuition fee payment from University of Waterloo along with a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) from ICICI bank to cover my expenses for the first year.

(b) Travel History

As submitted with my application, I hold a single passport with number *** issued by Government of India on ***, valid until ***. I do not hold any passport from other countries. Also, I do not hold any expired passport issued by India or any other country.

As shown in my submitted passport, I have not yet travelled to any other countries outside of India until now. I did not have any purpose to visit other countries until now as I have been focused on my academic and professional goals, preparing for a higher education.

(c) Insufficient Language Qualifications

To underline my English language qualification, I have attached my TOEFL scorecard with the application. I had appeared for a TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language Internet based test) exam on 6th August 2016 and scored a total of 108 out of 120. Individual-section wise I have scored reading-28, listening-25, speaking-27 and writing-28.

My TOEFL scores have been accepted by University of Waterloo as proof of my English language proficiency. The minimum required TOEFL score for my program is 100 (As mentioned on University website: https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/future-graduate-students/applying-admissions).

Additional Information: New documents that are enclosed with this re-application are listed below.

1. First year tuition fee receipt from University of Waterloo – CAD 22,800
2. Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) – CAD 10,025
3. Family wealth statement from Chartered Accountant
4. Property Evaluation Document Copy

To conclude, I would like to bring to your attention that I have got a confirmed admission to University of Waterloo for Masters of Mathematics in Computer Science course for Fall 2018. I would request you to kindly reconsider my study permit application and grant me the approval, so I can pursue higher studies in Canada.

All the details furnished by me and all the documents attached with my applications are true and correct. For any further clarification, please reach out to me on the below details and I would be happy to address your concerns.

Thank you very much for your valuable time.

Yours Sincerely,
***

Dear all!
in May, I submitted an application for TRV. After 3 weeks they refused because of 2 grounds. Family tie and purpose of travel. now I am reapplying. It would be very pleased to read my LOE and tell me about my faults. because I really need this TRV. Thank you all



"
Subject: Temporary Resident Visa Re-application Reference UCI no: ***

Dear Authority,

First of all, thank you for putting your time to review my case.

This letter is about the re-application of my TRV. My preceding application was rejected with a couple of grounds. Anybody tell me to resubmit my application using a skilled lawyer. But I think my grounds for rejection are not complicated and they are because of my fault to represent incomplete documents. So, first I ordered GCMS note and it takes about 40 days to receive. I perused the officer note to resolve the weak points of my case and boost my strong points of it.

Please let me explain the reasons that were stated in the refusal letter and GCMS note, which are as follows:

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence.

Justification:

We are a family of four. My father is working in the south of Iran very far from Tehran (the city of me and my mother’s residence). He comes back home every 2-3 months. Also my sister is living in Germany. My mother is about 57 and she is very dependent on me to do her own thing and housework.

Also in 2008, when I was a student in India, I bought an only 2 weeks German Shepherd dog. I called him Samuel. He is one of my closest friends from that time up to now. In 2012 Samuel courted another dog as a result of which they bred and I had 4 beautiful puppies. I gave 3 of them to responsible animal-loving people as I was truly concerned about their fate. I kept one of them called Oberon.

In 2015, I came back to Iran and unlike many people, I, an undertaking student, covered all their expenses to register them an application for their exit permit from Bangalore to Mumbai and Mumbai to Tehran-Iran. I spent 30 hours in Mumbai airport only to be able to accompany them during the flight.

Unfortunately about 9 months ago, Samuel got cancer and he is under medical treatment. Because of his painful life, our hearts ache in sadness, and our tears are flowing. (I have enclosed their pictures, medical record, exit permit proof). Because of the economic situation in Iran, governors have banned the import of pet food drugs. So many vets and specialist offer me to stop treatment of my lovely Samuel. But he is a member of our family and I pursue his treatment personally even though the cost is high.

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.

Justification:

This time I enclosed a hotel reservation receipt, official plane ticket reservation and a full itinerary for my stay. Also, I represent some occupation ties including paystub, Social Security Insurance history, Employment document, leave of absence letter (attached in the purpose of travel section).

I hope the above points as well as new attached document meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I would love to have this Christmas in Canada after losing the beautiful summer of Canada.

All the details furnished by me and all the documents attached to my applications are true and correct. For any further clarification, please reach out to me on the below details and I would be happy to address your concerns.

Thank you very much for your valuable time.

Yours Sincerely"

really I need your help guys!

Yes they are right. If you have a family Wealth certificate listing all your assets and properties you don’t need a property evaluation document. There is no format to it, it is just a list of all your assets on a CA letterhead and stamp, attesting that CA has checked all the documents for the same.

My academics & Professional Experience:
Learning is a continuous process which explicitly provides new directions. In this process, I’ve encountered both success and failure. Despite all that, I developed confidence to overcome the challenges in my journey learnt from the past, I live in the present with an eye on the future. My foremost dream in life is to be acknowledged and congratulated for my academic achievements. I finished my schooling at the XXXXXX in the year 2009 with a Percentage of 90.17%. Intermediate at XXXXXXXX with an aggregate of 86.1%, which secured me an admission into the Bachelors of Electronics and Communication Engineering (2011-2015) at XXXXXX. I have graduated my bachelors in MAY 2015 with an aggregate of 78.62% (First class with distinction) with 0 Backlogs, which show my academic excellence and dedication I hold towards my interest.

r
But before embarking on the journey of studying abroad, I have decided to gain some experience since it is not an easy challenge for a fresh graduate to handle the academic rigor and maintain balance between work and life ,with the skills I acquired during my graduation days I was placed in one of the top MNCs named XXX as a Systems Engineer. . I was often recognized by my team leaders and managers for my contribution at work and was assigned projects from time to time apart from being delegated the responsibility of mentoring a number of new joiners at work.

With my work experience and my motivation to analyze these skills more effectively with new technology, I chose Cloud Computing for Big Data as my major to upgrade my skill set which keeps in a better position.Having worked for more than 4 years I got better industrial exposure. Hence, I decided to resume my wish to study abroad. After sufficient homework and research, I have zeroed Canada as the destination to study which will provide new avenues to increase acquired knowledge and facilitate in giving expression to my potential.


My English Language Proficiency:
Have been studying English as a Medium of Instruction- 18 years. IELTS: Overall- 7.5 (Listening: 7.5, Reading: 8.5, Speaking: 7&Writing: 6.5)


Canada – Lambton College caught my interest because of the following reasons:
The country provides world-class education at an affordable cost when compared to other countries. Academic qualification and experience from a Canadian institution are considered highly prestigious across the globe.
It has been a favorite destination for many students from across the world since it is a very safe country with very low crime rate, immigrant friendly, cost of living is relatively less and people are very well natured. A large population of the country speaks English.
Community colleges in Canada are known for academic programs that are purely career oriented and industry endorsed with hands-on learning experience and hence the students hit the ground running.
Co-Op Programs a different concept which attracted me to opt for Canada, which is a kind of practical approach in the final semester and is more important to any student no matter of any group.
People get an opportunity to stay back for some time after graduation which gives them an opportunity to gain invaluable experience which is highly valued by employers.
Lambton College is known to be one of the best public funded community colleges in Canada, which is established in 1969, which has an employer satisfaction rate of 96.3%.

Future plans & Career Prospects:

India is a big IT hub for several globally recognized companies. The Big Data technology along with the Cloud Computing technology is in great demand in India. McKinsey estimates that India alone would need 2 lakhs data scientists, big data professionals and Cloud architects in the next few years.

After pursuing the Postgraduate diploma program, Cloud Computing for Big Data in Lambton College, as an individual I would be industry ready as a Cloud Data Engineer to tackle the Big Data and Cloud Computing problems as I had already acquired industry experience during my Co-op work term. I believe that, this program will improve my managerial skills, knowledge, and strengthen my fundamentals to make me eligible for playing a higher role, in any reputed organization, and provides me a wider career options throughout my lifetime.




Financial viability of my family:
I am very glad that I have enough financial and moral support of my parents to pursue further studies in Canada and they are very happy with my decision. As per the SDS rules I paid CAD XXX tuition fees for the entire FIRST YEAR and deposited CAD XXXX in the Bank of Nova Scotia as my first year living expenses. My father Mr.XXX earns an annual income of Rs.13,23,093/- per annum A apart from that father holds PF of Rs.13,55,043/- lakhs plus a savings of Rs. 1,00,000/ and I also has 1,00,000 savings in my account- which shows I have enough financial support for my study and stay in Canada. Beyond this we hold a House at XXXX and another House at XXXX which all together costs a market value of Rs. 1.0 crore. My family, therefore, financially had enough to sponsor my education and living expenses for the period of my study in Canada and is also well established in India.

May I therefore in the light of above information request you to kindly give merited consideration to my application and give me an opportunity to study the said program in Lambton College, Canada.
