I am accepted in the Masters in Public Administration program in University of Saskatchewan. My background is BBA major in Finance & Accounting with CGPA 3.64, IELTS Score 7.5 (R 8.5, L 7.5, W 7, S 7.5). Recently I have gone through some visa refusal posts and pretty concerned about this "you proposed studies are not reasonable in light of one or more of: your qualification,previous studies,employment,level of establishment,other education opportunities available in India or Canada,language abilities,or your future prospects and plans" issue.

Though I studied Business and doing job in business field, I want to change my track and really want to go to Government or Non Profit. Thus I choose Masters in Public Administration. There are some relevant courses like Public Finance, Public Sector Financial Management and Economic Policy which backs my previous study of Finance. But seeing the refusal post I am worried that VO may refuse my visa application thinking its not much relevant to my previous study or work experience. What do you guys think about my chance of getting visa. I have not applied yet. I have another question regarding IELTS issue. My IELTS score was valid when I applied at the University and got admission. But now validity is over. Do I need to submit IELTS score report while applying for the visa or only the offer letter will do? If I do need to submit IELTS score report then will I need to sit for IELTS again or old score report will do? Oh I am from Bangladesh.

hi,
i will suggest you to go with related course of previous study.however you always has option to change course after getting canada.

yes you might have to seat for ielts again. because at the time of visa application, V.O might confirm validity of ielts score card via candidate no. on scorecard.

also wait for senior's answers.

Thanks Ashok. Problem is I don't have time for changing course now. Application date for most Universities have expired and I need to retake IELTS I will need one more months. So it will be too late.

Ya,
There is no rule of thumb that you cant change the field.
Its possible if you r genuine student, good academic , competitive study plan , competetive admission through various exams

You can change your field if your work experience is related to the new field or you got a very strong ground for supporting the new path (which is very rare).
