SPECIFIC NOTES FOR STUDY  PERMIT REFUSAL 2017

What it takes to choose a right course for you to study?

Although, Canada is very attractive to the international students as recently announced last December of 2016, that earning a qualification in Canada would earn an additional points to your Comprehensive  Ranking System (CRS) e.g obtaining two ( 2) year studies for diploma or certificate course equates to 15 points and earning master or bachelor degree gives an equivalent of 30 points. In addition to this they may also get a Post-Graduation Work Permit – depending on the duration of the course intended to undertake by a student, not to mention when getting a work permit may still renew; as work permit rule for four (4) cumulative rule has been removed, which may lead to your permanent resident application if you are eligible to apply. But what really confusing for others is how they going to get their study permit approval, regardless if they do it by yourself or with an agent.

Let us share you some helpful information for you to weigh in all the relevant information and documents you may have in case you already prepared your application and is about to submit to the visa office taking into consideration the ‘specific visa instructions’, it is imperative to note that anywhere you are in any part of the world you can submit you’re study permit application, either online or via paper based application, for as long as you have a valid work permit or visa at the time you submitted you’re application to study in Canada. The criteria and eligibility assessment are the same, except it only differ with a specific visa instructions of which county you are supposed to submit your study permit application.

A client from India has contacted us regarding his previous refusal of study permit in Canada, he intends to study in a certain university in Canada, upon learning his refusal regarding “ other seasons: your proposed studies are not reasonable in light of one or more of: your qualifications, previous studies, missing mark sheets, academic record, level of establishment, language abilities, or your future prospects and plans”. This would have been quite difficult to understand if someone has not gone in dealing with several applications which fall on the same grounds of refusal in their study permit.

It is true enough, anyone can apply and ‘ do it by yourself’ (DIY ) or represent by an agent – but this doesn’t guarantee a 100% approval as the visa office will look into the information and documentary evidence submitted by the client. He had no issues financially as it looks like he is capable to covering tuition fee cost, travel cost and living cost in Canada and any other expenses which may incur during his propose studies to Canada, but he may have a little issues about his motivation to study in Canada; noting that his education history shows a low grade point average, and unable to demonstrate a logical progression of his course as to why he choose to study that course in the university, given the course he has done in the past.

Further to this, though he has an IELTS total score of 6.5, he has 5.5 in writing, which the visa officer concluded, that it would have been difficult for a student to study in Canada noting the language use to study in Canada is English and French in some region. From our point of view, the student have taken the IELTS and has been assessed for admission to the university with the IELTS score he has had and has been admitted by the university, is it really one of the basis of having low IELTS score of 5.5 in writing as one of the criteria for determining and assessing the application to the context of bonafide student? WE also note, that in the study permit University student visa instructions for (May 2016) excerpt “Test result taken within the last 24 months to demonstrate ability in the language of proposed study”- again, there is no clear score indicated therein as to demonstrate meeting the required score on IELTS.

WE understand the specific visa instructions for University students and Student Partner’s Program (SPP), [IELTS for SPP a total band score of 6.0 and no lower than 5.5 in other areas]; category policy and General category when submitting the application, as it posted at the embassy website, however, we believe in our opinion, it may be correct to address certain low average academic score of qualification, study course progression among others but, to give and include to emphasize of having an IELTS of 5.5 in writing; is not reasonable to identify and concluded that the student is not bonafide, common, most international students who are studying abroad in an English speaking environment would likely to improve their skills from : listening, speaking and writing – it should not be in part of the [low score in writing] basis that the student may not complete the course and that he is not a genuine student! While, there is no clear statement of the regulations for this category of study permit – stating that the international students should have a ‘ higher score on IELTS’, in particular with the “ writing” skills, for them to be able to qualify to apply for a study permit. Choosing for a course to study in Canada would have an impact to your study permit application and therefore, when contemplating to study in Canada, choose a right course for you, depending on your existing qualification, skills, experience and interest, it is best to consider that it must be related, (and the progression of the course is credible enough) but not to the point entirely that it is almost “similar” as it will attract a possible refusal in the end.

Moreover, with the changes in place last July of 2016 from IRCC, which they can no longer issue a study permit duration entirely, if the international students will be studying the combine courses: e.g. English studies, bundle with diploma or certificate courses. In other words, an applicant may only get one (1) study permit entailing the duration of his 1st course, assuming he has been granted a study permit, and s(he) will need to renew his study permit there in Canada, once the 1st course has been completed, to continue with another bundle course. As we reiterate, they will no longer issue the total duration of your study permit in case you choose to study in combine courses, as the visa office raised concerns, that student may not guarantee the completion of studies.
