You would likely need a masters degree but your bachelors degree grades are not very strong.

Yes, that’s why I settled for PGD. Will this affect the my chances for visa approval?
If you are already a senior data science many of the data science PGd will not lead to career progression. What program are you considering?

I haven’t finalised it yet but most likely either of these.
Post-Degree-Diploma-in-Data-Analytics-Work-Experience
Data Analytics for Business and Decision Making (graduate certificate)

Yes it will be hard since PGD programs are aimed at 22-26-year-olds, not senior Data Scientists.
I am 27 unmarried, it would be great if you can help with things I need to look for as I am availing education loan since there is no income from my parents, only collateral worth 45 lakhs

It's my childhood dream to study in abroad (Canada/England), and exploring new culture, people and places. Either, I applied for Canada in 2020, but it took 2 years to get my result (got REFUSAL) just because of corona and DLI of 10 colleges in Quebec were suspended (as I think). I don't see any hope in my life for happiness in my future, going abroad is my only dream. I not eating properly from past 2 days and not getting proper sleep, It's my humble request if any body can assist me to get my Canada study permit.

With 6 years of experience as a Data Scientist, applying for a PGD at a college will likely earn you a refusal. Your best best is a Master's degree, preferably at a public DLI.

Thing is.... you either need to have money, or if not then good grades so that you can get a scholarship into a research program... not having both is a problem. Collateral is not helpful. They want to see cash on hand in your bank account.

Suggest you study for the GRE/GMAT and apply for an MBA/specialized master's program. They will negate your GPA if you have a high GMAT and give you scholarship money.

MY file was on hold for almost 1 year before getting refused (date of apply:-26/11/20 and date of decision 11/11/21) I have no idea what to do now i need a quick solution what should i do, however, i have money to show in my grandparents & elder brother's account, even they can transfer it to my account for showcase.

these were the reasons given:-

. I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.

• Your proposed studies are not reasonable in light of one or more of: your qualifications, previous studies, financial ability and I am not satisfied you are a genuine student and that you will depart Canada at the end of your authorized stay.

I suggest you start your own thread and share your full profile - your age, your past academic history, your GPA, your intended program in Canada and in what DLI, your work experience if any, the amount of money you showed and whose money it is etc.

I know it's difficult to accept a refusal, but don't let it ruin you or negatively affect your mental health so much. There's more to life than studying abroad.
