Hi everyone. I got refused and received my GCMS notes today. These were my refusal grounds: 1. I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence 2. I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end...

I didn't mention that for sure. I just said my long-term plan is to start an NGO and I plan to return to the Philippines and work for international NGOs first before building it as I was aware it takes a lot of resources and time to start one.

I see how that could've complicated matters. I have already mentioned the NGO, so I'm not sure they would believe me if I change it to "I want to set up a daycare" or something related. What should I do? :( I said that working for different NGOs helped me gain a solid foundation to start one, so...

I honestly mainly just have my family as my ties. I feel that they shouldn't be expecting those in their 20s to already have properties to their name. It's just super unrealistic. I am not really sure what to invest in either. I am still trying to figure life out. I told the visa officers that I...

Thank you for the advice. It definitely brought some clarity. Yes, I did mention that another advantage of studying in Canada was that the program was only 2 years long, in comparison to the Philippines where it would be 4 years long. I never talked about it being more affordable because we both...

Thank you so much for your response. If I reapply, do I shorten my SOP or just address the refusal grounds on the first page? The SOP doesn't have any pictures. I just included the pictures with my other documents further below (as part of my Client Information file). ECE is definitely regulated...

Thank you so much for your advice. I really appreciate it. I mentioned that the education system in Canada differs vastly from the one we have in the Philippines. It is more progressive and hands-on, which is why I want to learn how to be an effective educator by studying ECE in Canada. Almost...

I have a bachelor's degree in diplomatic/international relations and applied for a 2-year diploma in Early Childhood Education :(

I already ordered GCMS notes but they will arrive in December. Do you think it's worth reapplying without it? I was going for Winter 2022 intake but the next available is in September 2022. I really don't want to wait another year :( I applied for a 2-year diploma in Early Childhood Education. I...

Hi everyone. I applied for a study permit for Canada but unfortunately got refused last week. I am really sad as I worked on my application for about a year and I just don't know if I should reapply. I don't know what went wrong. Can anyone please help me? My refusal grounds were: I am not...

Got it! Thank you so much for helping me and for putting my mind at ease. I really appreciate it! :)

Hi! Thank you so much po for taking the time to reply to my post. I'm really glad to hear that this would mean that I've always been a PR. I spoke with my mom and she told me that we were actually applying to get our i-card/PR card renewed when this whole thing happened. Forgive me if this is a...

Okay thank you for your help!

I'm just really worried about getting banned, so I might be overthinking this. :( My permanent resident native-born status was forfeited when I was trying to get my permanent resident card renewed, so they basically canceled my status and asked me to downgrade to a tourist visa. Would this not...

I won't be opening a can of worms for no reason, right? I only have my aging parents and my PR here as my hometies so I'm a bit scared that they would think my status here isn't as permanent. If I do click "yes" how would I explain it? Should I say, "I was not denied a visa, but there was once...
