I am 33 with 12+ years of work experience in India. Will my age factor be a problem while applying for a PG Certificate course in Canada?

[SC0312]

Hello guys,

I want to pursue a PG Certificate course in Marketing/Business in Canada. Will my age be a problem while applying for the visa/college? I have 12+ years of work experience in India, but only a bachelor's degree. I want to shift streams, hence opting for Marketing now. Any suggestions?

Hi. Age isn't a problem at all if you have the valid work experiences to cover your gaps. I was in the same boat a while back. Gave it my best shot and now am one of the 56000 proud AIP holders

By the way my description is on the below link:

Your age is not a problem, but your chosen course might be. For someone with so many years of experience, a PG certificate course doesn't show logical progression or career advancement. Rather opt for a Master's degree in a relevant course.

After 12 years of experience a random college diploma in an unrelated subject adds nothing to your profile. Go for a master's degree.

For sure? Not an issue? On what premise do you give this assurance? Do you have clout with the Embassy? If so, I need your connections please .

That shouldn’t have been approved given that it is a step backwards in your career. You got lucky or I would wait until you have received the full study permit before celebrating.

It is full approved - GCMS notes.
I don’t think they will change it.
We are not right all the time. Get used to it.

Which course did you opt for? A degree or a diploma?

MBA ... MAsters program . opting for certifications might dampen ur visa approval chances.......
