From India, refused UK student visa twice, chances for Canada?
Hey guys, I'll try and be very concise here. I went to the UK in 2002 with family who kept on applying & getting refused from UK Embassy in 2-3 applications made within UK. During the course of time, I was studying and started pursuing a medical degree (MBBS) in UK in 2005. The university accepted me as a home student since I was studying there for three years. Family came back to India in 2006, and me getting fed up with my situation there (no rights, probability of detention) came back in 2008, hoping I would be granted a student visa. Applied 1st in Aug 2008 and they refused on the basis of "inadequate funds", then in Jan 2009 they termed my overstaying and some weirdly minor application that I couldn't recollect at all on the form as the reason for refusal and they have barred future applications till 2018 + accusing me of fraud against my uni for paying Home fees for 3 years when I had no business to. Now, my family is keen I should give Canada a try. I am fine either ways - studying in India or abroad. I want to know how much does my UK history affect my Canadian application. Will downplaying the situation help? Obviously to enter the Canadian medical education system, I would need to do a BSc first, but is this possible now-as in does the UK immigration history have the potential to really make the whole process of applying unnecessary? Am really desperate, really keen to do medicine and would love to hear some opinions, as to how I should proceed. Sincere thanks to everyone who contributed. Freebird mate, thanks for putting things so eloquently. I am at a decision-making phase and a voice of reason like yours is extremely helpful. At the time of admission, the moment the uni saw I was studying for 3 years, they just gave the offer as a Home student. I even categorically called them and told them of the oversight but was told it was an admin oversight, the offer letter being legally binding and in the face of my financial circumstances then, who were sustaining on bare minimum given their pending status made me grasp the opportunity. Hanora, totally with you mate. I have been seriously considering Indian universities as an option, since have already wasted about 6 months in the three applications I've made. Parents are still keen for me to go abroad, partly because dad feels guilty that his immigration decisions have had such repercussions and they are actively wondering whether I'll adjust to the Indian way of academics. S and maliving...: Guys, calm down! Negative much!? Do you guys know in what conditions people in immigration limbo sustain? I guess not, that's why you can sit on your moral high horse and spit judgements. From my 7 years in UK, yes 3 of which I paid home student fees, but 4 of which I was paying through my nose, and I used to work my ass off in community health projects taking care of the same above 50 year olds whose lack of pension you so conveniently blame on immigrants. What do you read for breakfast-The Daily Mail? If you can't contribute constructively, please keep your generalisations for coffee-table conversations to impress your mates, not at people posting on public forums in difficult situations.

You were guilty of fraud when you paid home fees at Uni in the UK. You didn't give them the information they needed or you would have been charged international fees. Canada may consider your application but if they share information with the UK you are likely to be refused there too. You can't hide your UK history so if you apply for any other country you are taking a risk. What you call downplaying is nothing short of lying. Countries check visa applicants carefully and lies on your application, either get you no visa, or if discovered later get you deported and banned. That's what happens when you cheat the system. Your history will cause you problems with any type of visa you apply for to any country. You should plan for a long term future in India.

Why not study in India. Doctors there are well regarded and I suspect that medical travel will only increase and there will be more business for India, Korean, etc. doctors from US patients. You can't hide your UK track record from Canada and they will take it into account.

Why don't you stay in India rather than leeching from other countries. I am very glad to hear that you were rejected from the UK. EDIT: "If you can't contribute constructively, please keep your generalisations for coffee-table conversations to impress your mates, not at people posting on public forums in difficult situations." I'm not trying to impress anyone.I don't care who you are, if you're not British then i'd like you to stay the hell of out my country. I know BRITISH people, with Medicine degrees that can't get jobs because foreigners come in and undercut them, working for less wages. Stay in India.

I am sick of people taking financial advantage of this countries nicety. Have you ever thought of paying back to the UK what you have taken out. Pensioners are in a dire state in this country as they are treated less than third world nationals. The country has no money for us after working more than 50 years paying taxes on our earnings. It seems it has plenty to offer those that have not paid a penny in. Finished reading the Bombay Times have you and I dont read the Daily Mail to find out the devastation which is happening in front of everyones eyes in my country. Don' pretend you can't see it either. Is your country being overun by many chancers?
