Proposed studies not reasonable in light of qualification, level of establishment, academic records, previous studies, future plans and prospects.

In my sop, I stated my future plan to be in managerial role...

Thank you, here, I have a doubt, how can I convince visa officer, why am I changing my program? Can u pls help?
How? It's better ranking, better reputation, better job opportunities, better intl recognition, better standard of professors, better networking, high level of courses...do you need more?

If your plan is to progress into Managerial role, taking a graduate certificate course will not get you there. Apply for an MBA or related Management-focused program at a University.
Also, did you highlight the reasons why you are working in a completely different field than what you initially spent years studying?

No... I casually mentioned in the SOP like I found interest in the area I started working...

Beautiful British Columbia
Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
You should convince Visa Office that your Canadian education will be useful for your further career in you home country.
And explain to them why you do not want to study at home but in Canada.

From other threads, I understand Crandall is not a good choice... Can anyone help me with other universities with affordable fee and no mandatory gmat... I found Newfoundland memorial.. But since, climate is extremely cold, I don't know if I can survive...

Hey, a Master in business has no affordable fee. Prepare to spend money on a credible degree from a public university. Crandall is a bad choice yes,
Newfoundland is far from the coldest province so if people can live there, so will you. I am now in a city with -50 degree Celsius in winter and still alive :confused:

They are both not very well-known universities though. If you really want something valuable, stick to well-known universities.

Looks like you finally understand the reality.

Cheap = usually a bad program
Non GMAT = bad program
Near major cities = expensive

Do some research, you may find something that is affordable and good however GMAT score may be a requirement

If you can’t survive in Newfoundland then don’t look at Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba that have even colder winters.
