Hi, sorry for that. Even I got same refusal! What's your home country? What's the course u opted for and what's your education BG?
study visa chances aftr refusal
- Thread starter ravneet.kaurr
- Start date
Yep the two are not linked at all. That will be the issue. Did you submit an SOP stating why the change?
Hello I got Refusal Online On 4th December My Agent Reapplied Again on 10th December And U are saying that 30 November is last date plz reply
Hello Folks !
Need help ! I wrote the LoE attached below and I would like to hear your insights.
Subject: Letter of Explanation (LoE)
XXXX, March 20th, 2019
Dear Officer,
I am writing you this letter to explain some points that might have caught your attention when considering the attached documents relating to application of my study permit to Canada.
My name is XXXXX. I am a XXXXX employee with 11 years of experience in the area of Petroleum Geology and Petrophysics. I joined XB in Luanda, Angola in 2008, after receiving a bachelor’s degree in Geology from Agostinho Neto University.
After a couple of years working, I spent two years in USA for Technical OC program, which involved training with mentoring and classes. In 2015, I graduated from the program with A+ and returned to Luanda, Angola where I currently work as Petrophysics for reservoir management department. Petrophysics is one the core subdiscipline of the reservoir characterization, and it integrates knowledges of petroleum geology, petroleum engineering, production engineering, drilling and geophysicist.
My current petrophysical role as follows: a) To provide Petrophysical support to ongoing Drilling and Completion operations in XXXXX and multiple XXXXX Exploration areas (i.e. Area B, Block 34); b) To provide a robust petrophysical evaluation to support Reservoir Modeling efforts for XXXX Brown fields; c) To provide Petrophysical support to Exploration Review Teams.
I understand that some of the biggest problems that XXXX has in developing oil and gas in my country are understanding rock quality, fluid properties, data integration, heterogeneity assessments and reservoir diagnostics. Therefore, in 2016 I started thinking about pursuing a master’s degree in a higher rank University with petroleum geoscience program with goal to increase my level of competency and technical preparation in Petrophysics and other Geoscience fields, and ultimately, to enrich the Petroleum Geology community in Angola after graduate from the program.
I was recommended the University of XXXX by my former manager and mentor here in XXXX called XX who did his PhD in geophysics at the XXXX rsity.
I applied for the master’s degree in XXXXXXX at Earth and Atmospheric Department at the University of Xand I was accepted for the September XXXXX program.
There are several reasons to explain why I applied to the Integrated Petroleum Geoscience Program at the University of XXX.
Ultimately, the master program will represent a “win to win” scenario for myself and for my company . It will provide me the higher education degree (personal benefit), and at the same time I get to solve XXXXX specific reservoir technical problem using Chevron dataset of core and logs as a requirement from the independent research course.
After graduate from the XXXXXX program, I expect to return to Angola, to continue work for XXXXX , and as one of the first Angolan to graduate at the University of Alberta, with higher education, I expect to stablish a bridge between XXXXX and the University of Alberta, as well as the bridge between the XXXX and my University where I intend to teach petroleum geoscience and petrophysics classes.
I am of course at your disposal to provide you with any additional information that you deem useful for the processing of my electronic application for study permit.
Thank you in advance for the time devoted to the treatment of my e-APR.

I applied for the master’s degree in XXXXXXX at Earth and Atmospheric Department at the University of Xand I was accepted for the September XXXXX program.
There are several reasons to explain why I applied to the Integrated Petroleum Geoscience Program at the University of XXX.
- The University of XXXmes as one of the top University with excellent programs in Geoscience, and the only one in the world that offer the Integrated Petroleum Geoscience program.
- The Integrated Petroleum Geoscience Program is entirely applicable to my job as Petrophysicist and Geoscientist at Chevron.
- The program last only one (1) year, therefore was easier for my employer (XXXXX), to sponsor me for the program. So that, I won’t be away from work for long time due to very dynamic and busy nature of the xdrilling operation and reservoir characterization projects, the time for getting a higher education degree is very limited.
- XXXXX has office and operation petroleum fields in the province of Alberta, therefore will be convenient for me since I will be using XXXX data in my academic research. Certainly, having XXXXX facility nearby, represents a great benefit to easily accessing the data avoiding extra time looking for data.
- During my interaction with the director of the Program, Professor XXXXXXXX, I get to know that he has conducted extensive petroleum geology researches in west Africa particularly in Congo and Angola sedimentary basin. Moreover, Professor XXXXXX had worked in other Angolan projects, in conjunction with my former professor and adviser YYYYYYY, to support research initiative at the Geology Department of Agostinho Neto University where I graduated in 2008.
Ultimately, the master program will represent a “win to win” scenario for myself and for my company . It will provide me the higher education degree (personal benefit), and at the same time I get to solve XXXXX specific reservoir technical problem using Chevron dataset of core and logs as a requirement from the independent research course.
After graduate from the XXXXXX program, I expect to return to Angola, to continue work for XXXXX , and as one of the first Angolan to graduate at the University of Alberta, with higher education, I expect to stablish a bridge between XXXXX and the University of Alberta, as well as the bridge between the XXXX and my University where I intend to teach petroleum geoscience and petrophysics classes.

Thank you in advance for the time devoted to the treatment of my e-APR.
Did you re-apply? if not then apply for GCMS notes first and then re-apply. If you have anyone in Canada have them apply it for you otherwise go to imminotes.com and apply there.
Don't rely on chances. Canada Visa is a privilege not a Right. Do not play guessing game or rely on chances by adding few documents.
Simple theory - If the new documents that you have added overcome the concerns that Visa officer had during first application then you might be able to get a visa, but if these documents does not overcome the issues then it is not going to work.
Why did they refuse you first time? what was the reason?
I’d no backlogs, with 6.5 bands and no less than 6! My course selected was supply chain management related to my management degree of BBA and one year MBA! Still I got refusal, my each and every document was perfectly fine! So I applied again with some more documents expecting to get visa! What more I could have done?
I hope you that you get your visa. Good Luck!
According to my experience with Canadian Immigration - I think the refusal was related to your course selection, even though it is related to your past field but you have to satisfy the Visa officer that this course will be beneficial for your career. Improved SOP can help.
Keep us updated with the result! Good Luck
