Hello everyone! I got rejected letter on 7th, March, 
accurately. It says on the letter:
· I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay.......based on the purpose of your visit.
· Given your previous education and/ or employment history,I am not satisfied that the motivation to pursue this particular program at this point in time in Canada is reasonable.
Now I am going to briefly elaborate the details about myself with nothing but honesty. I would really appreciate if you spend a few more minutes to read them all and help me with some ideas.
29 years old, unmarried, secondary education, graduated from high school in 2010, got in college the same year, quit college in 2011. Did some part-time job for the next three years. In 2015, worked as an admin assistant in a construction company, then got transferred to legal department in 2017 worked as an legal assistant, that's when I decided to get a related diploma and to be professional and qualified. In Sep, 2020, I resigned and started to study for ilets test and prepare for studying abroad and all.
I was confirmed for legal assistant in SAIT,Alberta in Feb.
I showed my bank statement for the recent 1 year to prove that I had stable income ,and my mother, who is retired, supported me with some money, I showed a relation proof certificate and her bank statement as well.
my ielts overall band is 6.5 ,with 6.0 or more in each section.
I chose SDS project, I have all the paper and documents required, I did everything to meet the requirements, I have extra 60,000CAD deposit in my bank account, I wrote a 2-page convincing study plan which has shown my motivation and explained everything to the VO, I have years of relevant work experience but lack of a qualification, it's perfectly reasonable to upgrade your education qualification, right? I just don't understand why on earth my motivation is not reasonable??? The result is just way too bizarre to me.
I don't really have to choose this program again if it's the program I choose makes the application unreasonable.
any ideas everyone?
Great Thanks!!!
Your situation is rather unique and without GCMS notes, it will be hard to understand what is the real objection. Few issues that I see are :-
1. An IELTS 6.0 as lowest sectional score might be considered inadequate for perusing an education which requires advanced english skills in preparing legal documents, notices etc and communication with lawyers. Note, ideally this should be a decision made by your university/college/institute but it seems VOs think they have a right to have an opinion in it. Unfair I know, but it is what it is.
2. Judging from the fact that you have to take IELTS and your score, english is not your first language and possibly not the native language in your country. What is the official language of court/legal documents in your own country? I ask this because it puts a doubt about how you want to apply say your knowledge of preparing legal documents (wills, notices etc) in English into your profession back home which will demand you to do those tasks in the official language of court in your country? In other words how will you convince a VO that your degree/diploma will enable you to seek a better employment back home thus providing a good motivation to return home when the language in which you need to discharge your duties is not the one in which you will take your education and training?
3. Do you have a history of complying with immigration laws? Have you successfully applied for a visa in one of the five eye countries and complied with the conditions of the said visa? If not, did you mention that in your letter of explanation? Usually having a visa and a travel history in Five eye countries makes you seem safer. Five eyes are US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand.
4. I doubt age is that big of a factor. Having an unusual profile might be but age is not.
At the end of the day, you have to prepare a defence against a question (asked by VO, not me) that why should you be believed that you will not use your study permit as a means to gain entry in Canada and stay illegally or break condition(s) on the permit. Basically, it is a challenge to your motivation that is what can you provably show that will motivate you to comply with your permit condition and complete your education and not overstay in Canada illegally. Usually the evidence that people produce are :
1. Immediate family members in your home country.
2. Property in home country.
3. A job or business waiting in home country.
4. Education highly relevant to employment in your home country.
5. A strong history of complying with visa conditions and immigration laws.
