1. I don't understand after 20+ years of experience what else he wants to learn from studies because everything that is required for a job, he got it. He requires special industrial short term courses that are offered by training institutions.

2. It looks his aim is to enter Canada so he should apply for immigration, but due to his age I fear he won't be preffered. Canada prefers young blood although he will get maximum score for the age group (21-49) but it takes around 2 years for immigration case to decide, he better hurry up.

exactly , LOOK this case, it looks so suspicious. since I start reading I could not help to think that his goal is to inmigrate. why he wants to go to canada to study at this age?

This is why study permits are difficult to get. Do not apply is almost virtually impossible to him to get that permit .

IF he wants to settle there , the best way to do it is to apply directly to some skilled woeker program. If he has the language abilities, money to support himself, work expirience , education , he will get it.

the basic reason behind acquiring foreign education is to make career batter and earn good money on the basis of high quality education....while in this case the concerned person is 47 and have earned at optimum level already...i see no valid point that he should acquire more education from canada : :

although he had experience in his field , but if he completes his education in required field he will be eligible for immigration
just asking from you guys,

if he shows his duel intention that after completion he will qualify for immigration.

 

[stmani]

then he should apply immigration on the basis of graduation and experience....i still dont get that he's got money, he's got experience, he's got degree in civil, he's got career...if he wish he can apply immigration as well...what does he need study permit for??

 

[sak78]

let me clear one thing,

he is graduate but not in his field, he got 2 years bachelor degree in Arts, in 1992,

and he is running his construction company ,

degree is not related what exactly he is doing, and second thing for immigration it will take couple of years for sure or more than .

 

[sak78]

honestly speaking because of the situation in country

he wants to make a quick move ,

can he apply immigration while he is studying in canada.

 

[stmani]

the situations in country wouldnt satisfy visa officer to grant visa...as with other requirments to be fulfilled he would need to demonstrate that he will definitely come back.....and he doesnt seem to be

also visa officer see if the student is geniune in nature while concerned person had studied 2 years at graduate level years back and then ran a contruction company all his life....do u think he can proved to be geniune!!

 

[sak78]

why not,

forget about the graduation , if he secure the admission as a mature student on behalf of his work experience
and shows his intention is only learn new and modern technique to run his company in better way
he is leaving behind his family and his company

dont you think is this the strong point

 

[stmani]

the matter of fact that he wont get admission in good university on the basis of experience.....he would need 16 years of education + ielts + other requirements...

he may secure a place in an ordinary private college but thats totally a waste of money....he wont get visa!!
