5 Things You Must NOT Do If You Want Your Canada Study Visa Approved
Every year, thousands of Nigerians get study visa refusals — not because Canada doesn’t want them, but because they made mistakes that could have been avoided. Sadly, some lose millions of naira on repeated refusals.
If you want your study visa approved, here are things you must NEVER do:
1️⃣ Don’t Choose the Wrong Program
Picking a program that has no link to your background or future plans makes IRCC think you’re just using study as an excuse to japa.
2️⃣ Don’t Present Weak Proof of Funds
Showing money that appeared overnight in your account, using fake bank statements, or not explaining your financial story = straight refusal.
3️⃣ Don’t Submit a Poor SOP (Study Plan)
If your SOP doesn’t justify why this course, why this school, why now, and how it connects to your future in Nigeria/Canada, you will be refused.
4️⃣ Don’t Ignore Home Ties
Canada wants to see that you still have reasons to return home if needed — family, property, career. If you ignore this, you look like a flight risk.
5️⃣ Don’t Wait Till Deadlines Are Too Close
Rushing your application, missing key documents, or applying late reduces your approval chances.
