Hi fellow-mates, my case is a bit complicated. My program is Computer Information System (Diploma) I will really appreciate if anyone can give me serious advice rather than criticism. Following are my semester results:-
Sept 2016- (AW)
Statistics- F
Business- D
Logic- F
Jan 2017- (AP)
Intro Comp- F
System Analysis- C
Web Application- F
May 2017- (RTW)
Statistics- F
Computer Literacy- A
University Writing- C+(was F, grade-appealed and got C+)
Earth Science- D
Overall CGPA- 1.43
I was too late to get into September 2018 so I had to drop this semester and got admitted into Alexander College for Jan 2019 intake. Obviously I dropped working too for this semester. I just have academic poor performance. Other than that I've good records, never worked > than 20h or anything else. But now the problem is that my program is not available in Alexander College which means if I plan to stay there then I need to change my major. Earlier my plans were as I am required to withdraw for two semesters from the university so I am allowed to come back in May 2018, so I had planned to go back in May. But, I've heard that VO looks for good academic standing while extending the visa and obviously I cannot turn my academic standing as good in one semester. At this moment I am not even thinking about PGWP. I am just thinking about my visa extension.
So, my questions are-
1) My visa expires in Nov 2018.
a) Do you see any trouble in extending my study permit? I do, however I've heard that if you're registered for the next semester, show enough funds and are in good academic standing then cic doesn't reject study permit extension.
b) Is it a good option to go back to my university and just do one semester in Alexander College by taking any 3-4 courses for this semester or stay in Alexander college? (obviously CGPA of university wont count in that case and I can try hard to gain and maintain good academic standing and same for university- Alexander College's CGPA wont count-- told by my university advisor)
c) Also, as failed courses do not transfer, does it show that I was a part time student for the first two semesters ifI plan to stay in university?
d) In addition, if I go to Alexander college and transfer back to university, does my CGPA scored in Jan 2019 intake (in Alexander College) count when I go back to university? I have heard from my university-advisor that it doesn't.
2) If I go to Alexander College, do I need to notify cic about that? I see Alexander College as more trouble as this moment as I have to change college and my major, both.
3) I am wondering if someone has gone through something similar to my situation. Also, I do have medical notes describing my medical condition. I just want to know if there's any education/immigration lawyer or an immigration consultant who can help me or guide me through this. However, I have went to see immigration consultants and they just don't know anything.
So, can anyone suggest me some really good lawyer or consultant for my case?
Again guys, your advice will be really appreciated!! I know I am in some real trouble.
