Hey.
I applied for my Canadian study permit on 11th February and got refusal by 2nd March. The reasons listed were as follows:
~ I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the tuition fees for the course you intend to pursue.
~ You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay. I considered several factors:
+ Travel history
+ Length of proposed stay.
+ Purpose of visit.
+ Personal assets and financial status.
I am really disappointed about this as I applied for May 2016 intake and got accepted already. I have to re-apply as soon as possible if I want to make it in time but I can not re-apply without knowing how to correct those reasons. I will give some background information about myself.
I finished my a-levels mid last year and got good grades (lowest was B). I applied for a college in Toronto and got an offer of admission stating I was accepted and all necessary details about my course duration, start and completion dates etc. I paid the fees for the first semester and attached these documents with my visa application. Also I am being sponsored by my uncle. He wrote a letter saying he will cover all my costs (tuition and living expenses) and that I am his nephew. He also attached all supporting documents to show he is the owner of a business firm and bank statements showing 3 months history. Also he got a letter from his bank stating he is intending to support me throughout my studies. He had 2 bank statements attached, one was a $ account showing 500$ as the final balance but movement of over 100,000$ in the past 3 months and the other was a local currency account showing final balance equivalent to 30,000$. I do not have any personal assets in my name nor a bank account and I have not traveled outside my country.
IELTS score was 8.0. SOP is statement of purpose? I had written it but only 3/4th of a page. I'm not sure it was strong enough.
