Hello Reader, you are probably here because you are about to apply for a study permit and you want to do it right or your study permit has been rejected and you want to reapply.
On the surface, obtaining a student visa in Canada appears to be an easy process, but it can be difficult at times. While many students believe that earning a letter of acceptance is the most challenging component of the study abroad application process, getting a student visa might be even more tough.
Students’ visa applications for Canada are frequently denied. Many students wish to pursue their studies in Canada because it is such a popular study destination. Due to the enormous volume of applications, however, Canada’s popularity makes it much more difficult to obtain a visa.
To ensure your Canadian visa application gets approved and you experience a smooth process, it’s helpful to understand the common reasons behind visa rejections in Canada. Here are five of the most common.
1. Not Including a Letter of Explanation (Statement of Purpose)
Statement of Purpose for Canada VISA application is an essay wherein you need to explain why Canada, academic profile, post-study plans, reasons for selecting the particular university, and course. The majority of visa applicants are accepted or rejected based on their Letter of Explanation; immigration authorities do not call every applicant for an interview. Your statement of purpose should include the following;
- Why do you want to Study in Canada?
- Why have you applied to this particular university in Canada?
- Which program do you want to study and why?
- Are you going to return to your home country?
- How are you going to fund your studies in Canada?
- Do you understand all your responsibilities as an international student?
2. Financial Reasons
Applicants must submit a bank certificate or bank statement as part of the Canadian visa application procedure. These documents demonstrate your ability to support oneself while studying abroad. A visa officer may decline your application if you are unsure about your ability to pay for travel expenses, tuition fees, and day-to-day living in Canada.
2. Career Progression/Academic Performance
Change of career paths: Perhaps you are highly educated with a significant amount of work experience in one field and have decided to change your career path and pursue studies in a new field. Make sure to explain why you decided to change career paths. Also, explain what it was about the previous path that did not work out for you. What is it about this new path that is more appealing? Perhaps your previous field is no longer profitable or the market for it has dwindled and your new area of studies has shown significant promise and is up and coming.
Poor marks: If a potential student has poor marks in their home country it may be determined that their study plan is not reasonable. Make sure to explain why those marks were poor (perhaps they were in a subject area that was not to the applicant’s liking, or were later remedied by remedial courses).
