I have been accepted to study in Toronto. I have provided all the necessary documents with my brother in law as my sponsor (Canadian citizen) living in Canada. My application has just been refused. Reason being the immigration officer is not satisfied that I will return to my home country after my study. The letter from immigration said that I can re-apply if I wish to do so. I don't know what documents I shall provide to convince the officer that I will return to my home country after my study. If you have any information regarding the type of documents, info that I shall provide your help is really appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there, my study permit application was refused as well. I am planning to reapply again when I enter Canada. I already have a TRV but applied for a study permit in the USA and it was refused based on ties to my home country and financial support. ( I am originally from Malaysia and I was on a work permit authorization in the US. I got an offer from Canada while I was working) . My class are to start in September and I am trying to figure out if I can reapply for this permit within canada. I'd say reapply for yours but find a way to prove that you are going home after studying.
Thanks for your reply. As far as I know you will not be able to re-apply for the study permit within Canada. They will probably ask you to do from your home country or the country where you reside currently. In my case, someone in my case applied online for ATIP to have access to the officer's notes that have rejected my application. It's not clear what information they are looking for to prove them that I will return after my studies. I am a student who just finished university so for example I don't have any job to go back to back home. Any suggestion on what to provide as a proof that I will return back home will be appreciated. thanks
You can reapply, but I would advise not to do it when you are in Canada. Do you have the necessary finances required. What did you say in your SOP about your home ties....anything? You need to have a strong SOP that shows ties to convince them that you are going to leave Canada after your studies. Would be better to apply from your home country also. It's July now so the likelihood of you getting a visa before September are very slim.
SOP - Statement of purpose. basically a letter stating why you want to come to Canada, list any property you own, list family that are there, if you have a job etc (in your home country). If you didn't have one . That's why you were refused. you have to convince them you are not going to come here with the intention of staying past your visa (even though most people's intentions, including mines, was to eventually get PR)
Well said. You are so real and plain. I love that. Please a sample of sop would help. My email is: aigbeambrose@gmail.com
It's best if you make up your own. Just be clear on the points I mentioned above
Also, try to not put your brother in law as your sponsor. I have heard of many cases in the US student visa program where if you have a family member sponsoring you, they refuse it. Best alternate to that is showing that you are yourself sponsoring your studies and have a loan from a local bank. That also shows strong ties to the country and assurance that you will come back.
