Study Permit Rejected, confused with reasons

[spudpotato]

Hello, My friend's study permit got rejected on 29/03/2021
The reason of rejection is Family ties in Canada, no sufficient finance and assets, and unconvinced that she will leave Canada after her studies. Her dad applied to accompany her for 2-3 weeks so she could settle down at Alberta. They declared that they have a living relative in Canada residing in Vancouver. However, the reason of financial and assets does not seem right as she has more than a 150k CAD in her dad's bank statement, her dad will be sponsoring her entire studies.
She did mention that she did not provide a statement of purpose and that her dad did not provide a letter of financial support... is that the main reason that she got rejected?
Right now she's contemplating whether to appeal or to reapply.
Please help and reply, its urgent!!!

Order GCMS notes to get full reasons. Can’t really answer without knowing her profile.Why would she appeal for a Judicial Review without knowing why she was rejected.

1. Family ties in Canada: Did the letter just state this or did it say, Family ties in Canada and in country of residence. Usually it says both.
2. If her father didn’t provide letter of financial support and his bank accounts (personal not business) then what funds did she show?
3. What is her program? And does what is her current education?

Her father can’t travel with her right now due to Covid unless he has written authorization to travel by the government. Does he a visitor visa? What did he apply for?

Thanks for ur reply,
1)yes the letter just said that
2) She just submitted his (Dad) personal bank account and statement for the past 4 months.
3) She is doing a Bachelors degree in art and design with a minor in biological sciences at the university of Alberta. Her current education level is Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

Apparently they applied together on the same account, under her study permit that he will accompany her to Canada to help her with university life preparations. They declared that they have a living relative ( Her dad's sister) living in Vancouver.

- Her father needs to provide a letter of support. The bank statement isn't enough and doesn't indicate if her father is willing to sponsor her studies.
- Suggest she apply on her own and that her father apply for the TRV separately / later. She should be willing / able to travel on her own and this will strengthen her application.
- What is her home country? She she living in her home country or elsewhere as a temporary resident?
- What are her IELTS scores and previous marks?

She should reapply and strengthen her application.

1. Family ties in Canada: So she completed her high school in Canada and not her home country. What is the status of her parents or at least when she completed her Ontario high school diploma? That is one issue as she has stronger ties to Canada than her home country. She needs to show ties and how her degree will lead to a career in her home country.
2. Guessing her age is about 18 so she has no personal accounts or funds. She needs letter of financial support from her dad.
3. See 1. She needs to show how taking her degree will help her career in her home country.

Her father can’t apply on the same account. He needs his own visa and then written authorization to travel.

Actually she completed her high school in her home country of Malaysia. There is a college/international school that offers the Ontario syllabus up to grade 12. I completed the same course too. Her parents are still married and together when she completed her diploma. She is currently 18.
Thanks for the advice!

Her home country is Malaysia, she is currently living at her home country. She did not sit for IELTS as her university accepted her SPM (Malaysian O levels) English 1119 certificate (she achieved a grade of A+)

Thanks for your advice!

OK - that's all good.

I think the main mistakes in the application were not including a letter from support from her father and also having her father apply for a TRV along with her application. She should apply on her own and be willing to travel to Canada on her own.

Her dad will apply separately, apparently her dad wont allow her to travel alone to Canada as it is a foreign country... Any advice on his application?

Does he have past travel to countries requiring visas such as Canada, US or UK?

He did his studies in New Zealand before. Other than that, none that can be recalled. He did leave New Zealand to his home country to work and raise his family.

He applies for a visitor visa. He needs to show strong ties to his own country. If his daughter’s study permit is approved then he has to apply for written authorization to travel for essential reasons. Travelling must be essential. Getting her daughter settled is not neccessarily essential given he must quarantine for 14 days.

Ultimately there is no guarantee the TRV will be approved. Also, depending on how soon his daughter is supposed to come to Canada and start school, travel restrictions may still be in place preventing him from traveling. His daughter may need to travel on her own.

Understood, thank you!

If he is travelling to Canada to visit his sister, will that count as essential? If he does get his visitor visa and they get to travel tgt and quarantine tgt for 14 days will that still allow him to accompany her?
