@dh5689: Hi there! As you have had previous work experience already in Canada (I would assume), I would think they would be more lenient towards your application? As long as you submit the requirements, it would be reasonable that they grant you a study permit, and you can state that you wish to upgrade your career by further studies.
@wondergirl1992: Yep, it is indeed a case to case basis, and in micmic's case, he has mentioned that he's considering to study health sciences. If given the choice, I would advise him to go for health science in the end, but he can apply for admission under a business course so that it'll be easier for him to get a study permit.
I don't have anything against people studying business, as I was once also a management student hahaha, but career prospects in Canada (in my opinion) are brighter for those in health science. I understand that you don't have any intention of settling in Canada The point I want to make is about what comes after graduation.
For those who do want to emigrate to Canada and pursue a corporate career, a bare minimum would be to have a Canadian degree in a business course from a major university.
@businessgirl2014: I think landing a corporate job in Canada is way harder than just having a good credential. From experience, it actually depends on a lot of networking. A good background can only take you so far, and I admittedly am not very good at making connections. hahahaha If you're the type of person who can easily meet people and expand your network, then I think you would be a good fit for corporate position.
Sorry to hear about your refusal though. I don't think it was because of the course you chose, there are probably other factors that influenced the result of your application...
