Secret Reasons Why Study Visas’ Are Denied
Poor Proof of Funds
Depending on your school of choice, tuition fees and other expenses may be expensive. In Canada, tuition for international students usually ranges from 18kCAD to 20kCAD for master’s students, while undergraduate students will pay more, depending on the course.
However, some applicants may not have sufficient funds to provide the required proof of fund support documents.
When providing your proof of funds, it’s important to:
- Ensure that the funds are liquid and readily available
- Provide accurate and up-to-date financial statements
- Ensure that the funds meet the minimum amount required by the institution and the government
- Ensure that the funds are in your name or the name of either of your parents or legal guardians
- Provide a letter of explanation if the funds are being provided by someone else
It’s important to note that the required proof of funds may vary depending on the country and institution, so it’s best to check with your institution and the government for specific information on the required documents and minimum funds required.
Poor Study Plan
As you proceed with your registration, you will be asked to upload a study plan. This is a brief and easy-to-understand letter that explains why you chose the institution, the course of study, and what you plan to do after completing your studies.
A well-crafted study plan can increase your chances of getting a study visa, while a faulty one can serve as a red flag, indicating that you don’t know what you’re doing and are only seeking to relocate.
When creating your study plan, be sure to address the following:
- Your reasons for choosing the institution and the course of study
- Your qualifications and how they relate to your chosen course of study
- Your career goals and how the course of study will help you achieve them
- Your post-graduation plans and how you plan to use the knowledge and skills acquired during your studies
- Your plans for adjusting to life in a new country, including how you plan to finance your studies and living expenses.
By addressing these points in your study plan, you can demonstrate to the visa officer that you have a clear and well-thought-out plan for your studies and future career.
Fake Documents
Honesty is crucial when it comes to obtaining a study visa. Faking visa documents can be dangerous and may result in visa denial. In fact, some of the visa denials are linked to fake documents. If your records do not make sense, it raises suspicion and can lead to stress for you and the visa officers.
You should always provide genuine documents when requested to do so. Although you may be lucky to pass one stage with fake documents, you could still encounter problems in the subsequent stages.
It’s important to note that visa officers are trained to detect fraudulent documents, and the consequences of submitting fake documents can be severe. It’s always better to be honest and provide the required documents, even if you think it weakens your application. With an honest application, you can avoid unnecessary stress and increase your chances of obtaining a study visa.
Unreasonable records
It’s always best to be truthful when applying for a study visa. You will be required to provide information about the years after completing your previous studies, including what you did during that time. This information will be in years, like from 2020-2021, etc.
If you were not doing anything during that period, it’s important to state that. If you served in a particular role, you should mention it, and if you were working, be sure to include that information as well.
When sharing this information, it’s important to be realistic and truthful. Avoid exaggerating or saying things that are not realistic to impress anyone. The visa officers are looking for honesty and authenticity in your application, and providing truthful information can increase your chances of obtaining a study visa.
