My Advice and Tips to potential candidates:
1. Never loose hope. Age is just a number. You will get Visa if you can prove that you are a genuine student
2. Strong SOP/Study Plan - This is the Key and most important factor in this process. I have drafted SOP on my own and also got reviewed by few others to make sure it looks good.
3. Do not keep any points open for the Visa officer. You have to cover each and everything in SOP. If Visa officer have a question, then there are chances of rejection
4. Always opt for courses which are next level. Do not select a Diploma course, if you already have a Bachelors. It will be a straight forward rejection by VO.
5. Show a career progression in SOP. How this course will benefit you after returning to your home country and what is that one thing which differentiates the courses available in your home country Vs Canada. This is very important.
6. Attach a Chartered Accountant Certificate along with the application, showing the assets held by you and your family back in your home country. This will give a satisfaction to VO that you will return after your studies.
Happy to help in case anyone has any questions and best of luck for your applications
