I just reveived the letters from IRCC that my study permit application was rejected. I am feeling really bummed about this.
This is the second time in a consecutive year. I applied for Australia student visaa last year and got rejected for visa. Maybe this is one of the big reasons why I got rejected cos I disclosed about it in my SP application.

I have B. Tech in Civil Eng. I applied for 2-year Diploma course at Algonquin College in Architecture and gave all the reasons why and I am switching from Civil to Architecture. That could also be another big reason.

I also presented the documents about the land I bought back in my country but did not explian about it in SOP.

I am pretty bummed about this because other fellow citizens from my cocuntry are getting into schools and visa without even submitting English Language. They say they used working experiences. I am not sure about their courses though.
The letter says:

Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. I have reviewed your study permit application and supporting documentation to assess whether you meet the requirements for a study permit (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/eligibility.html). This includes assessing whether you are coming to Canada temporarily for the reason(s) you describe in your application. I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-2.5/index.html) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/index.html). I am refusing your application.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by paragraph R216(1)(b) of the IRPR (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/section-216.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will leave Canada, based on the following factors:
• The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.

To get help with understanding your temporary resident application refusal and what you can do next, visit: https://www.cic.gc.ca/visit-visiter/en/refusal-visa-application.
Next Steps:
• If you decide to apply again, know that:
○ your new application will be assessed on its own merits,
○ you must resubmit a new application and all relevant supporting documents and pay a new temporary resident application fee, and
○ your new application may be refused unless it is supported by new or different information that would satisfy the officer that you meet all application requirements.


I don't think I have much of a chance to apply for it again.
But I would really appreciate if any of the members here have similar experiences and could secure visa again, and share some information on how to
try again.

Thank you!

If the 2 year diploma is not a post grad program then that is one reason. You need to show education and career advancement. You need to justify costs and show how program will give you a better job once you finish.

I understand the diploma courses are low on chances of getting the visa. But, the given reason was R216 (1)(b) only?

Order GCMS notes as your refusal is broad and can mean many things like course is not relevant or not a post grad program. No point in reapplying until you read GCMS notes and can address the reason for refusal.

Thank you!!
I was looking up online about requesting notes too. Do you mind sharing the process or the procedure for ordering GCMS notes?

Hi again! What would the follow up procedures or process be like after receiving GCMS notes? Should I get an immigration lawyer since there is no official process for appeal?
