Hey! Hadn't you received GCMS notes from CBSA prior? Were the notes from IRCC different? That would be very weird....

Well, at least now you have pinpointed the exact aspect of your application to tackle! Go get them!!!
Hey @Geet7 :)

Yes, exactly! Weird it is. Although, to be fair, there was a notification from gcmsnote.com where we ordered the notes about the possibility of one of the files coming with blank pages. This is exactly what happened. The notes from CBSA and IRCC were entirely different in their format and content. Basically, our CBSA notes were empty, but the IRCC notes were solid and full.

Thank you again for your support! Yeah, we're definitely going for it! :D

Hello @parrots , thanks for let us know, much appreciated! It is weird that the notes requested from CBSA is different from that of IRCC. I have applied for both and waiting.

Good that you waited for the notes from IRCC before you reapplied and now that you know the exact reasons you should be able to tackle it on your LOE better. Go for it you have been our cheer leader and you will get it this time for sure.. Good Luck!
Hey @Pravee_S :) Yes, as I've already mentioned in my reply to @Geet7, the notes, indeed, are drastically different. So, you definitely want to wait for your IRCC file! And yes, we were not going to re-apply without checking both files first. There could have been different reasons, and we had to know the exact one. Please, share your experience when you receive your notes ;)

Thank you so much for your encouragement! Our group of people here have been such an invaluable inspiration, really! Wishing your good luck with your application as well! Let's make it happen! :D

My sister applied for student visa in July and rejected in august non-SDS. The rejection reasons for the first application were around four reasons, so we addressed and reapplied.We went through an immigration consultant the second time and reapplied through sds:
Applied from Bangalore, India.
Applied on Oct 7
No updates after
Rejected Nov 17.
Reason: • The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.

Course applied: AEC graduate diploma for Computer Graphics at Lasalle Montreal.
She already holds a Masters from Milan

I understand next we should apply gcms notes,any suggestions or help? We are very frustrated since we showed all financial background and ties to home country.
Should we reapply or just choose a different university or just give up overall.

Did you submit your second application based on the comments of the GCMS notes of the first application? If not, then that's the first sign of your consultant not being a very good one.

That's our biggest mistake we did not apply for gcms, she fooled us. Now is it wise to apply gcms and then decide?

If you search through the forum, you'll see that it is highly advisable to wait for the GCMS notes before reapplying. Is it possible to reapply without them and be approved? Sure, you'll also see this for yourself in the forum.

The thing is, the GCMS notes could have very valuable information as to what specific part of your application did not convince the officer. If you know this, your second application could have a higher chance of approval. Also, note that the GCMS notes take time (around 90 days currently). Lastly, it is also possible for your notes to don't contain very useful information but usually, they do.
