This is incredibly insightful advice! Many applicants overlook the importance of providing a comprehensive valuation report for their landed properties when applying for visas. It's not just about having the funds but demonstrating strong home ties and a clear financial standing. A well-prepared valuation report not only proves the value of your assets but can also highlight how these assets ensure your return home, thereby increasing the chances of visa approval. For anyone going through the visa process, securing a valuation report is definitely worth considering to strengthen your application. Check https://tagschoool.com/ for more details.

Like I said before, I will always advise you to plan your funding very well before embarking on study in Canada.

Don't attempt to go empty handed and believe the tales that you can work and foot your living expenses and tuition both. If you are lucky and hardworking, you may be able to foot your living expenses if you live lean but not including tuition. The Canadian system was not designed for student to be able to afford their tuition + living expenses reason students are allocated limited time.


Also be smart to be aware of destitute student or destitute workers clause in cases your situation of funding or work condition is genuinely affected respectively. You need to have proofs of genuine funds provision for yourself before the unexpected happened as contained under IRCC law. That option is far better than settling down for Asylum which a lot of people lie to obtain.

This is a report of closed permit workers who got open work permit based on there harsh treatment by employers who hired them on closed permit.

Since the destitute worker also works like the destitute student, all you need is to be aware and know what to do and when to apply it to your case if after you have done the needful as required by a student whose conditions were naturally messed up by their situation.

One love.

In the recent time, about 65% of refusal is coming as a result of inadequate POF or failure to explain with documented evidences the source(e) of "sudden" heavy deposit inflow into your , then 35% based on insufficient assets/home ties.

It can be so painful that an applicant will get denied after spending so much due to unexplained source of the fund backed with proper documentation.

Often times, applicants get confused why their visa applications were denied based on "insufficient assets" or insufficient home ties" or "unexplained source of huge deposit on " despite submitting copies of title documents on their landed assets to proof home ties or economic status (which probably do not contain the current value of such property).

Therefore, it not all about including landed property title documents only in your application, you need additional document that tells the current monetary worth of the property(ies) and would also demonstrate how those property(ies) can motivate your departure after your study or vacation and how you plan to utilise the property(ties) upon your return home. VERY IMPORTANT!!!

That vital document you need is a valuation report. Valuation report is a document prepared by a firm of ed Estate Surveyors & Valuers showing the current market value(s) in monetary worth of your landed property(ties), use of the property (either residential as owner occupied or rented for income generation, your future plan for the property etc). So, it can also be used as proof of additional source of income as the case may be or back up landed asset liquidated to raise fund on for your study purpose (i.e source of fund). In other word, it's a multipurpose document that can boost your chance of visa approval.

So, often times, having sufficient fund might not guarantee your approval but other documents like your property/assets valuation report could do the magic.

Valuation report is a rmean by which an applicant can show his/her socio-economic status in the home country and proof of strong home tie that could pull the applicant to return to his home country at or before the expiration of the visa duration granted.

It is a document through which an applicant can proof to the VO how much investment he/she is having in landed properties in the home country.

Strong home tie is a very crucial and an important aspect of study or visit visa applications owing to the fact that many applicants have been denied based on insufficient proof of home ties, that simply means having sufficient fund is not enough to guarantee your visa approval.

As an international student, you are a temporary resident & need to show that you have reasons to leave Canada after your study (if required to do so).

IRCC wants to see evidence of your home ties. Many applicants find it easier to use their family as part of their home ties. But in the case you're applying with your family, it means you must be ready to show other ties.

It could be your business, investments, employment, financial assets and most importantly landed properties (which are mostly preferred cos they hardly depreciate in value but appreciate more over time).

Therefore, you must know what the visa officers want to see and craft your application to satisfy them. Submitting a valuation report of your landed assets (land & building) along with other required documents for visa application could actually boost your chance of visa approval.

Either for visit, study, medical or other temporary or permanent residency visa applications, it is strongly advisable for applicants to provide a valuation report of their property(ties) in order to assist and convince visa officer about their economic/financial status in their home country and also as proof of strong home tie to pull the applicant to return on expiration of period granted.

Property Valuation report could make a visa officer develop good mental picture of who the applicant is, it just like what CV is to a job recruiter. An employer can develop an idea who a job seeker is through the CV to decide if the job seeker should be considered or not. A valuation report describe in detail the property(ies) owned by the visa applicant and the corresponding value of such a property either a house undeveloped land, agricultural farmlands etc which undoubtedly could be a strong proof of the applicant tie to the home country that can pull him/her back after his/her study.

This document shows the amount of wealth you own in property(ties) in your homeland which will make a strong pull factor for your return to your homeland once the purpose of your visit is over and that may eliminate doubt of your return and one point of visa rejection.

Also, it could serve as a document to your proof of fund which are usually liquid assets such as bank deposit etc. It will make lots of senses if you have good financial status as confirmed by your bank statement of and property or assets valuation report to corroborate your status.

Though, there are many who do not submit this document due to ignorance or it doesn't matter mind set but it would be wise to do it by a smart applicant especially if its a non apprearance visa application or the one you first submit your application for assesment prior to physical interview.

It is important to prove that your housing assets is valuable as a strong home tie for returning after your study abroad or temporary visit and could also be used to back up source of fund.

The report would be a guide to the visa officer to establish the affordability of expenses of visit, stay, study and that the applicant have assets that can be liquidated to raise funds if the need arises.

Whoever is interested can reach out for more details..

Jeboy:
I hope your asset valuation service is affordable? Might need it during SOWP Application not now.

I will suggest maybe using a different valuation service via a diff estate agent becos by time many applicant start using same particular firm of a particular ed Estate Surveyor & Valuer that will begin to look suspicious ..l hope you understand what l mean

Congrats!

Apart from University of Regina, please which other schools in Canada does not ask for half payment of Tuition Fees?

ission no longer 100% guaranteed at University of Regina undergraduate program. They now refuse ission. 😭

ission decisions are based on a comprehensive assessment and can be impacted by many factors, including:

English language proficiency

Availability of Provincial Attestation Letters (PAL)

Previous academic performance

Time since previous academic study (education gaps)

Personal statements, interviews or auditions/exams (where applicable)

University of Regina which was my last hope has started denying issions even for Undergraduate programs

Private Quebec college graduates no longer eligible for PGWP starting September 2023
Graduates of unsubsidized private learning institutions in Quebec will no longer be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) starting September 1, 2023.
The measure is intended to protect the integrity of the international student program in Quebec, according to the federal government. In recent years, investigations by journalists and the Quebec's Ministry of Higher Education, found certain private institutions were engaging in unscrupulous recruitment practices.
In other provinces, international students who have enrolled in a private program of study generally do not have access to the PGWP, an open work permit that can allow international student graduates the right to work in Canada for up to three years. Once the measure goes into effect, Quebec private institutions will align with the rest of the country.
Graduates of a subsidized program of study in Quebec will still be eligible for the PGWP. “Canada recognizes the tremendous social, cultural and economic benefits that international students bring to this country," Immigration Minister Sean Fraser said in a media release. "Making the change that Quebec requested to post-graduation work permit eligibility will improve the integrity of the program, bring Quebec’s private institutions further in line with those of other provinces and protect our well deserved reputation as a destination of choice for international students.”
Unsubsidized private learning institutions have been attracting large numbers of international students since 2018. About 4,900 international students received study permits for one of these institutions between 2016-2018. Then between 2019 and 2021, the approximate number of international students who received a study permit for one of these institutions jumped to 11,500.
About the PGWP
The PGWP is an open work permit that allows international student graduates the opportunity to work for any employer in Canada. It can be used as a gateway to permanent residence. Studies have shown that immigrants who have Canadian experience before immigrating to Canada tend to fare better in the labour market than those who immigrate to Canada directly from their country of origin.
In order to be eligible for the PGWP, international student graduates need to have studied full-time for at least eight months at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI). The study program must have led to a degree, diploma or certificate.
During the pandemic, when students were forced to work from home, Canada introduced measures to allow international students to be eligible with online study. International students can count online study completed between March 2020 to August 31, 2022 toward their PGWP eligibility.

International students planning to study in Quebec will now need an attestation letter along with a CAQ
Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has confirmed that international students looking to study in Quebec will need an attestation letter from the province, along with a Certificat d'Acceptation du Quebec (Quebec Acceptance Certificate, CAQ) to apply for a study permit.
What is a CAQ?
The CAQ is a mandatory immigration document for all study permit applicants looking to attend a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Quebec. It serves as an authorisation that an applicant has met Quebec’s provincial standards to be allowed to study in the province.
International students planning to study in Quebec must receive both a CAQ and an attestation letter before applying for a study permit, issued by IRCC.
What is an attestation letter?
On January 22nd, IRCC announced that it would implement a cap on how many study permit applications would be approved in 2024. IRCC will allocate the study permit cap by province and territory, weighted by their respective populations. Provinces and territories will be responsible for implementing a system to issue attestation letters to their international student hopefuls.
Though attestation letters are required for all study permit applications submitted after January 22nd, per IRCC’s announcement, provinces and territories have until March 31st, 2024, to create a system of issuing attestation letters to applicants.
These new measures have been implemented in a bid to tackle malpractice in the international student space and to stabilise the number of temporary residents who place pressure on housing, healthcare, and other services in Canada.
Studying in Quebec
Quebec boasts the third largest international student population in Canada, after Ontario and British Columbia. Montreal has the highest per capita international student population of any city in Canada). The province is also noted for a number of excellent educational institutions, including some of Canada’s top-ranked universities and colleges.
Quebec has some of Canada’s lowest cost of living expenses, a rich francophone history and culture, and lower tuition costs, as compared to other Canadian provinces.
International students studying in Quebec can take advantage of province-specific immigration programs like the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ), and the Regular Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) after obtaining the needed work experience in the province. Should these same students wish to immigrate outside of Quebec, they can take advantage of federal programs like Express Entry-managed pathways, potentially yielding more immigration options for Quebec graduates.

Update from University of Regina: "*Due to further IRCC restrictions, especially a reduced study permit cap for 2025, our ability to it students is more restricted than in previous . Among other changes, IRCC has reduced the total study permit cap by 10% with an additional 12% reduction including graduate student allocations. Therefore, education study gaps and availability of Provincial Attestation Letters (PALs) must now be considered in the issions process. These factors may have contributed to the decision made on your application. Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you the best in the next steps of your academic journey.*"

Thank you;

More Update from University of Regina: *"In regards to what you would be able to do next, at this time based on the information in the previous paragraph it is unlikely that anything would change even if you applied to a different program. If anything changes in the future regarding the current policies, you should be able to apply at that time, but given the current policies it might be worthwhile looking into other Canadian universities as well to see whether you would be able to gain ission from another institution. Thank you for investing your time into the University of Regina, and we wish you the best in whichever academic endeavors you decide to pursue!"*

I assume you are sponsoring yourself. As a self-sponsor, you must show funds for the tuition fees and living expenses for the duration of your program OR show funds for one year and a reliable source that can generate funds in your absence for the subsequent year.
In addition to insufficient funds, the VO mentioned no evidence of how you accumulated the funds. Vos wants to see not just the funds but the source of the funds. For instance, it is unbelievable for someone who earns a meagre salary to show complete funds for tuition and living expenses without a convincing explanation as to the source of the funds. So it is vital to show proof of employment such as payslips, tax document, etc., and if some of the funds were a gift, provide a gift deed, briefly explain the financial capability and relationship to the donor, and proof of prior if applicable.

Hi all,

Please I need your guidance on how to tackle this refusal.I have just received my gcms notes and this is the reason why that application was refused.
I want to re-apply and your guidance will be much appreciated. Thank you.

N.B I have attached the main reasons for refusal as stated in the notes.

This could be a good case for reconsideration if you included the ing documents. The officer who assessed your application may have missed explanations and documents concerning the lump sums and sponsorship. Note that reconsideration is only considered if the VO made an error in law or somehow erred; simply disagreeing is not a factor. For instance, you can request a reconsideration if a VO ignores a vital document. However, IRCC is not obligated to consider or respond to your request.
In your reconsideration submission, provide a detailed explanation and highlight the VO’s errors regarding lump sum and sponsorship (sister). You can submit new documents to buttress your points. For instance, you can provide additional documents like
Updated bank statement – to show the funds are still there
Birth certificates showing the same parents, if applicable – proof of relationship
Gift Deed – legal document for the gift

You should reapply if you receive no reply after 10 days. All the best.

Note: The beginning balance of 17K is low in relation to the ending balance of over 54K.

I just received my GCMS Note

1. School Application Clarification: The refusal inaccurately stated that I applied to multiple schools, but I only applied to the University of Regina for the Master’s in Statistics program.
2. Tuition Fees Misrepresentation: The refusal cited tuition of $21,317 CAD for one year, but this amount is for the entire two-year program. My financial planning reflects this, as shown in my bank statements.
3. Lump Sum Deposits: The lump sum deposits in my bank were fully explained in my original submission, with details on the source of funds, aligned with my income and family . Additional documentation can be provided if needed.
4. Opening Balance Clarification: My bank ’s opening balance exceeded 10 million Naira (approximately $17,000 CAD), which should address concerns about the sufficiency of funds.
5. Payslips and Income Evidence: My payslips were included to my income, which should have been sufficient to demonstrate my ability to fund my studies.
6. from My Sister: My sister’s contribution of 5 million Naira was a one-time gesture, not as a co-sponsor. My savings and income are the primary financial sources, sufficiently demonstrated in my application.

Guys, Please I need your advice
