Chance of Study Permit approval?

[HenryVo]

I am a student from Vietnam, applying through Student Direct Stream online. I have just completed high school and I am pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in CS at a Canadian university. I have submitted all the required documents, including Letter of Acceptance, Medical certificate, etc. For proof of finance, because it is SDS, I have submitted GIC 10,000 from Scotiabank and receipt for first year tuition fees paid in full. IELTS 7.5, lowest is Writing with 6.0.

There are a few small problems though. First, is that I didn't submit a SOP, because it is not listed in required documents and I didn't find any major complications in my application.
Secondly, I have one sister with PR and lives in Canada. But both my parents and other sister lives in Vietnam, my home country. So will family ties be a problem?
Lastly, I am only 17 and only completed high school so I haven't worked yet. Will employment prospects need to be explained in my case?

Do you guys think I have a chance?
My application has also recently been updated with: You passed the medical exam.

Is your husband in Canada? If so, does he have PR, or is he a student? If your husband is in Canada, the Visa Officer might be wary that you would try to stay in Canada. And that your main goal is to work and stay in Canada and not study. Purpose of visit could be many things, one of which is family ties, which could be the case here.

Husband and kids are here in Nigeria not Kenya

So your home country is Kenya? If your husband and children are not in your country of citizenship, that could be the cause due to lack of home ties to home country.

Sorry husband and children are in my home country Nigeria not Canada

I did not write an SOP could this be the problem?

Yes it a problem, so you have to include it please

 

[Rugalicious]

It was a normal stream

 

[Rugalicious]

Apart from SOP do u think there could be another problem based on the profile given?

No please, but the SOP must be strong and concrete

No please, but the SOP must be strong and concrete

For normal stream, it does seem that a SOP is required. But for SDS stream, as in my application, a SOP is not in the required checklist and a lot of sources have stated that a SOP is not required for SDS. Also, I have seen many people applying through SDS that got approved without SOP. Is this true?
