Hay Floks,

I requested my CAIPS/GCMS note form IRCC through the caips.ca on 30th of April 2018 and I received the note on 31st of may 2018.

according to the CAIPS/GCMS note that the visa office mention 02 points to refuse my visa,

Summary of 02 Points: visa officer concerned about the source of the funds to cover the costs of my proposed course of study in Canada, and also about my motives for wishing to study in Canada at this time as i do not appear to have done any other flight training.

DETAIL NOTE 01:
Funds are almost all of recent deposit - applicant states he didn't spend any of salary while working in KSA but brought funds back to deposit in Sri Lanka; based on size of deposits in bank account, this would have been in violation of international FINTRAC rules, making it implausible as explanation for large recent deposits despite assertion that becoming a pilot is his lifelong dream, applicant's only step in that direction was taking aptitude test at local aviation centre on 2018/03/20 with lack of any preparatory studies and questions regarding funds, i am not satisf applicant intends to be bf temp res who will respect T&C of admission, or have BF dual intent refused

DETAIL NOTE 02:
No previous record. Visas issued: Saudi Arabia Applying to Canadian Flight Centre and taking Diploma in Airline Pilot program. Joint account with sister. Savings at BOC Ikr XXmil. To officer for review.

kindly advice how to reply for this notes.

1. So his #1 concern seems to be that your explanation is not plausible regarding the transfer of funds from KSA to Sri Lanka. Are you able to provide documentation that you indeed transferred these funds to your account in Sri Lanka? How did you transfer these funds?

2. You probably stated in your essay that you you want to be a pilot but you have not done anything substantial except take an aptitude test (according to VO). What do pilots do typically to prepare?

3. Your joint account with sister is not helping your case.
 
REPLY FOR CONCERN #01: In the past 02 years I earn 4,300.00 CAD per month and I save 2,500 CAD per month for my pilot training, As everyone know if we make the international transaction form Saudi to Sri Lanka we have to lose 05%-10% transfer amount for international money exchange, so I keep on save the money with me and bought to Sri Lanka. finally I exchange with a local exchanger for a good rate and deposit in my joint account with my wife. so I do not have any proof for fund transaction from Saudi Arabia to Sri Lanka. but I have the payroll account in Saudi Arabia for receiving my monthly salary. I attached the payroll account transaction for past 01 year and account detail with Canadian high commission. so in this case what can I do......?

REPLY FOR CONCERN #02: Pilot training is full time one year program and it will cost 50,000.00 CAD, so I the past years I didn't collect either amount to start the pilot training

REPLY FOR CONCERN #03: The joint account with my wife not with my sister, any time I can take out the money from my account

so kindly advise me to solve the above concerns
 
Just trying to understand your situation: you saved 2500 CAD per month. For how long did you save and did you bring all that as CASH with you to Sri Lanka?

I think Sri Lanka has a limit of USD 15,000. Did you bring more than this as cash? If so, did you declare it to customs? Maybe you have documentation from that?
 
in the past two years I arrived to Sri Lanka around 05 times, as well as I came with my spouse form Saudi Arabia, in my each arrival I bought the cash as bellow (it's an approximate value)

01) 27-Jan-2016 : Apx. 7,000.00 USD
02) 22-Jun-2016 : App. 9,500.00 USD (Myself 4,750 USD & My Spouse 4,750 USD)
03) 23-Jul-2018 : Apx. 22,200.00 USD (Myself 11,100 USD & My Spouse 11,000 USD)
04) 18-Aug-2018 : Apx. 4,000.00 USD
05) 11-Jan-2018 : Apx. 28,000.00 USD (Myself 14,000 USD & My Spouse 14,000 USD)

so in the each arrival our fund is not exceed the 15,000.00 USD value, so we didn't declare it form customs
