It really seems kind of unfair at this point. Recently I have seen so many people get an SP for a master’s program and change it to a certificate or a diploma at the same DLI. Nobody is talking openly about it but agents are aware of these loopholes and I’m sure they are exploiting it. I have seen people with broken English get SPs because agents have exploited the SOP process too. Everyone pays 15k INR (around 250 CAD) and get study plans written from experts. Also the ielts is a very premeditated exam it’s not rocket science really. The exploitation that is happening and the refusals where genuine people are paying the cost IMO is a very tragic situation. I hope they bring some reforms and make it like the US where not anybody and everybody gets through. The quality matters too. If people don’t know the difference between come and came how does the IRCC expect the workforce to be competitive. It’s freakin annoying.
I hear your point. In my opinion, and not because of my academic background but when someone asks for copy of SOP, makes me have second opinion about the applicant. If i pay consultant to write it down, again thats another issue. If someone wrote it down and ask you to review thats makes lot of sense and applicant put an effort to come up with some idea unique to their situation.
Now as we both know majority of applicant intention is to immigrate, so changing program that save them money and time and yet gain Permanent residency is okey, and nothing is wrong and we cant make that judgement. But when you have someone with very strong profile and simply reject because he/she lives outside of their country of origin is something that doesnt make sense to me either. But at the end, its up to this Country to decide who they let in and not.
I had my first US Visa one week after applying and it took me 15mins interview at the Embassy and at the end he said “Have a good travel to the US”. If Canada had interview mechanism to make determination, somehow applicant will have opportunity to make a case. Other than that, the best way if there is financial resources is Judicial review. If they have lots of JR, it put pressures to IRCC to attend hearing and somehow they will lift up some conditions or add others.
. Karma DOES usually catch up with the fakers who exploit this loophole - they usually flunk out of school, work illegally and violate their SPs, making a royal mess of their PR dreams. They end up with nothing after wasting so much and time and money. So in the end, they usually get what's coming to them.
