Hi All,

First of all would like to thank all the awesome people here for the wonderful support and guidance throughout the journey. They have been of immense help and could think of having this done without their support, be it the university shortlisting, program selection, deciding university, application inquiries, SOP reviews, finance related questions and what not. I decided to take the whole process myself with sole support of this forum. Here's the brief intro of mine:

I completed my B.Tech (Electronics) in 2012 and after that started working in the electronics domain for 3 years and then switched to software in 2015. Have been working as a software professional since then. I decided to go for masters studies in Canada in 2020 and visited IDP and a couple other places for guidance on the programs that I can apply. Almost all of them suggested me to apply for the colleges as chances for university admission are minimal in their opinion. That's when I decided to apply on my own as I wanted to take the masters program only.

I am suffering a lot as I have waited for 08 months for my visa decision and it turned out to be a refusal.

I am applying again for visa but need some help regarding my SOP review. I know you might be busy planning your travel.
But could you please take some time and review my SOP and let me know your thoughts. As we both had similar profiles I just want to know why VO decided to refuse my application and approve yours.

Congratulations. Did you submit consent form etc to VFS? Did they SMS/Emailed you the payment link for passport yet? They said it will be done in 48 hours but did you get it within 48 hours?

 

[master_aspirant]

Do you remember when your eligibility in review started ?

It started sometime in December, not exactly sure of the date.

 

[master_aspirant]

Congratulations!! Do you know how to initiate passport submission in any Indian VAC?

There's the webform that you can fill once you receive the passport request, and they will send you the acknowledgement mail right after submission. Send you the payment link after 48 hours with further instructions. There are plenty videos on YouTube explaining the whole process.

In another post of yours, you mentioned bachelors in mechanical but here you say you did it in civil.

Also, you applied for the Diploma program but not masters in the university. That can also be the reason. With 5+ years of work-ex and applying for diploma program isn't very convincing to the visa officer. And you have family ties too in Canada.

Apply for the GCMS notes and address the concerns of the VISA officer and explain comprehensively how this diploma program can help your career prospects in home country. I can help review your SOP and share the feedback.

Thanks

Congratulations. When does your winter term starts and are you thinking about deferring to summer term?

If you're deferring to summer, in case, I read that you need obtain a new CAQ for summer term, as you won't be allowed use the CAQ obtained for winter term. I'm asking just in case you want to defer.
