Study Permit Denial – Important Note
-
Niagara University has no control over IRCC decisions or how long visas take.
-
It’s the student’s responsibility to follow all IRCC rules and make sure their visa application is complete and correct.
Refund & Deferral Rules
-
If you get your study permit and are admitted, you must follow NUO’s official withdrawal and refund procedures.
-
If you request a deferral, NUO may change the terms and conditions of your new admission offer.
-
Deferral Policy: Students are allowed only one admission deferral. Candidates who wish to defer further will need to re-apply for admission to the next available term.
-
If you don’t agree to the new terms, you can cancel and request a refund based on the same refund policy above.
- Validity of Information and Documents: You affirm that all information and copies of documents provided are valid, authentic, and up to date.
- Application Fee: The application fee is non-refundable and non-transferable under any circumstances.
- LOA Deposit: The Letter of Acceptance (LOA) deposit is refundable only if your study permit application is refused. If you fail to submit your visa application and request a refund of your LOA deposit, the college reserves the right to deny the refund.
- Accuracy of LOA Information: You must ensure that all information on the LOA is accurate, as it will be reflected on your Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL). Once issued, the details on the PAL cannot be changed.
- Email Communications: You are responsible for checking your email regularly for deadline notifications. Failure to do so may result in automatic removal from the intake, and your LOA deposit will not be refunded.
- Visa Submission Recommendation: We strongly recommend submitting your visa application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) at least three (3) months before the program start date. This aligns with college guidelines and supports refund requests in the event of visa refusal.
- GCKey Account Monitoring: You should monitor your GCKey account regularly and promptly inform the college of any updates to ensure timely actions (e.g., class registration, refund processing).
- Post-Registration Matters: Once you are registered at the institution, any withdrawal, tuition refund, or related issue becomes a direct matter between you and the institution; the agent cannot intervene.
- Tuition Refund Period: You acknowledge that most colleges enforce a maximum 90-day period for processing tuition fee refunds.
- Post-Graduation Work Permit: Subject to immigration regulations, you may be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to three years upon successful completion of your study program. For details, please visit: Eligibility details.
- Change of Agent or Institution: You agree not to change your education agent or institution after your study visa has been granted or after any tuition fees have been paid.
- Immigration Regulation Changes: You acknowledge that immigration policies and procedures may change beyond our control. We cannot be held responsible for any direct or indirect impact such changes may have on your admission.
- Legal Standing: You confirm that there are no legal cases pending against you in any court of law in your home country or abroad.
