study application refused..reapplying need help

[htariq]

Hello,

My Canadian Study Permit application was recently refused. I applied online and have received the following reasons for rejection:
"You have not submitted written documentation from the educational institution where you intend to study that states that you have been accepted to study there.
• you submitted an offer of admission rather than a letter of acceptance...."

The letter I had submitted was provided to me by the University of Toronto and it is surprising that Immigration Services have rejected my application on these grounds. I intend to reapply ASAP and UofT has provided me a letter of explanation to use as supporting evidence this time. As for all other supporting documents, should I simply submit my previously submitted documents or will I have to make changes to those as well? I will be submitting new application forms but my parents' bank statements, Affidavit of support & their tax forms are the same. Should I print out new statements? As my parents are my sponsors, their bank statements (combined) total shows CAD 53,000--do you suggest that's sufficient? My Tuition is approx CAD 39,000.

When I am reapplying, do you suggest I include a personal statement including my reasons for reapplying or is that not necessary? I am reading different suggestions online so just want to make sure as I am extremely worried and want to avoid further delay/cost.

Thank you!

There is a difference between an offer of admission and a letter of acceptance. An offer of admission says "Hey, would you like to come to this school? You can if you want, but you need to tell us if you are going to."

A letter of acceptance says "Thank you for accepting our offer of admission. We acknowledge that you are coming to our school, and you've been accepted."

If this was the only reason for refusal, you should re-apply with the same documents as last time along with the letters from the University.

U of T is Canada's largest school. A visa officer would know what their letter of acceptance looks like.

I would include a letter of explanation detailing why you were refused last time, and that you are now submitting proof that you have been accepted.

Thank you for your reply!

Exactly, I agree and I had contacted the University prior to submission--once the University confirmed I could use the Offer of Admission Letter as it met the required criteria, I submitted it. The University too is surprised Immigration Services did not accept the letter as they issue it to all graduate international students for visa purposes.

The Letter of Explanation they have provided me basically confirms that the Offer of Admission letter is the same as Letter of Acceptance and that I have in fact been admitted into the 2-year Graduate Program.

Really hoping it gets approved this time
