So from what I see most people get rejected for visa because of course mis match..


I haven't even applied yet, but heres my scenario:

Want to apply for sep 2015 intake
Want to do Postgrad Diploma In Marketing or if at all not possible, some other course related to marketing.


Heres the bummer...

I'm in my 3rd year BSC IN CHEMISTRY.

CHEMISTRY =/= Marketing

No way!



But now after 3 years of Chemistry, I realise its not for me and Marketing is what I love.


But if I go this way , I'm sure I won't get visa under course mismatch..


---------------

LMK if this is possible:

I take admission in some course related to chemistry (to get visa), get the visa land in canada.

Meanwhile when I applied for chemistry,I also apply for marketing Diploma colleges...

Then once I land in Canada, I leave the chemistry course and join the marketing collgeg where I was accepted when I applied...


Is this a way around?

Because from the looks of it from other's experience, I'm almost certain not to get the visa due to course mismatch and because my marks are not good either...

--------------------------

Also, according to this plan,
If I go to canada taking the chemistry course,
do the colleges require me to pay fees in advance or something?

So ,if at all this plan is workable, will I loose any money due to advance fees or something in the chemistry college?

hi pie! what u think is good...like u can change the course...well the thing is
1) every coll/university has an last day of withdraw... with out any penalty except around 500 for the processing fees...
2) u will have to deposit the chemistry fees in advance...1st semester...whose fees receipt is required to b deposited along the visa application.....
3) so now u get the visa...in chemistry...u land there and take the refund/( please check the coll website as the last day of refund....ver imp....then u must have the 2nd offer letter in business in hand,,,,and ask them to take ur fees around the refund time....
4) supposse last day of refund is 5 jan and last day of bussness feees deposit is 3 jan... u shall have to request them to extend it for 2 days for u.....
5) all this steps has to be done in ur home country...using internet and mails....1st apply to both place..chem and buss...apply for visa with chem offer leter...then call bussiineess school...and ask about there fees deadline...

cheers.....

Hey man,
Thanks so much for your response!
:)

So what you mean is, after getting the visa in India, I must cancel the Chem course in India itself? And accept up the Business course while I'm here itself?

So, by the looks of it there won't be any issues since according to you visa will only act as a ticket and I can do whatever I wish(change courses and such) once I enter canada?

Thanks again...

well u can technically do that but its better if u fly with ur orginal visa and chem course, once u land in canada and get ur sin and permit, go to the chem college and ask about the refund( which all u have talked with them from india) take the refund or ask them to transfer the amount to bussiness college,
and inform the cic that u have changed the college as with the new rues ur chem college will also inform the cic, so its better u also do that...

Hey that sounds good but wouldnt it be too late to take up the offer for biz college after I enter canada?
I dont know how this works but I think if we dont take the offer upto a certain time limit it expires?
Again not sure how it works but maybe it can be an issue?

Thanks man...

Are you sure he has to inform CIC about the change of course? I thought you only have to inform if you change college/institution.

yep u r write that the offer is always for a limited period..so thats y u will have to request the college to give u a extension if possible or deposit one sem fees in the bussiness collge and later withdraw the fees from the chem collge....if u want to do some thing which vo dont want to do then u will have to be thinking and doing some thing the vo is stil not thinking u might do .....
