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...

Also, would they even have access to these records? I know they have a partnership with Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States so they can easily pull up someone's records to see if they have been declined a visa or overstayed in those countries. But the case might be...

I am just worried that choosing Yes would lead to my rejection as it would make my case more complicated though no fault of my own. I'm already having issues with the hometies requirement as I don't own any properties or anything and am planning on using my PR here as one of the reasons I'd...

I hold an Indian passport. I definitely didn't need to apply for a visa as my parents applied for a permanent resident visa for me when I was a baby and I got approved. I was just trying to get my PR card renewed when this whole mess occurred. Should I be worried that I technically "overstayed"...

I was not ordered to leave the Philippines, just to secure the appropriate visa, which I did not do. I don't know if this would count as overstaying? I didn't have to pay any fees for overstaying and got my status back about a year ago.

A permanent resident of the Philippines. I got my PR status back. I wasn't asked to leave the country, just to downgrade my status and secure the appropriate visa. My agent advised me not to do that because I would lose my chance to fight to get my PR back once I downgrade. Eventually, I did get...
