Study permit denied
Im posting on somebody else’s behalf...
This person applied for a two year study permit in Ontario and has been denied. It seems they don’t think there are enough ties remaining in the UK despite both sets of parents being there.
Has anybody else had that happen but then managed to get accepted and if so any ideas?
thanks

The onus, as always, remains on the applicant to establish that they are a bona fide temporary resident who will leave Canada following the completion of their studies pursuant to section R216(1)(b).
Can they show that they have financial ties to the UK, social ties requiring them to return, education or employment ties to return to? Do they own a property / rent a property / have a vacation booked / have an invite to a relatives wedding / taken a leave of absence from employment (or have a contract for a job on their return) / have a course they are registered for ... they needed to show their economical and emotional incentives to return to the UK after completion of studies... you get the idea 
You can read more official notes here (this isn't for a student visa but has info about what they look for) : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration...derations.html
4. What ties do you have with your country of residence?
Things to consider:
Is the person employed? If yes, at what salary? In what position? Has the applicant's employer approved a request for leave?
What family does the person have in the country of residence? Where were they at the time of the application?
Does the person have property? What is the value of the property?
What financial obligations is the person leaving behind? What is the nature and value of these obligations?
What other responsibilities and obligations is the person leaving behind? How will they be discharged?
If so - then read through the dual intent: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration...pplicants.html

Re: Study permit denied
Parents aren't a tie, most people emigrate without them! As Siouxie said, they need to show things they're leaving behind in the UK that they can come back to i.e. a house, job, etc.

Re: Study permit denied
Family (including parents) is definitely a tie - it's probably the only tie that most students have. Yes, owning a home and having a job to return to helps - but the vast majority of students are not in that position (otherwise they probably wouldn't be students). It all seems very subjective in most cases and comes down to the fact that you have to convince someone that you will return to your home country after your studies are finished - most students have to do that without owning a home or having a job.

Having a a partner also suggest the applicant a little older than the average student.
Also need to consider the course being completed. If the student is applying for the shortest/cheapest possible course for which a study visa will be granted it looks suspicious.
These are red flags and need a higher level of proof than the average student so immigration can be sure it is not being used As a back door to the PR immigration system.

Re: Study permit denied
There are plenty of other ties they can show though, things like financial commitments, pets, a vehicle they're not selling, even just leaving credit cards and bank accounts open etc. If somebody is selling everything and moving to Canada without anything to go back to, then it's going to look iffy to an immi officer.

Re: Study permit denied
I don’t understand why they look for ties to your home country but then give you a lot more points for studying in Canada and the possibility to stay for work after your study. You could potentially be there for 8 years, what ties could you have after that?

Re: Study permit denied
You don't need ties after that, only when going to Canada.

Re: Study permit denied
Study permits can be a possible route to PR but they are not in themselves a back door to PR for non genuine students looking to circumnavigate the points/skills based PR immigration streams.

Re: Study permit denied
Already answered in the other thread. No rights to an appeal but may submit an application for leave and judicial review with the Federal Court of Canada.
I suggest using a Canadian based lawyer if planning to go down this route or simply applying again for a study permit.
