I saw your message, but I cannot reply to it. I think you sort of bocked replies.
Anyway these are the issues I see
- You indicate that you have challenges getting employment in your country. This is not good for you when it comes to employment prospects in the home country. What they want to know is that you won't have issues when it comes to getting a job.
- You have shown that your employer has given you a leave of study with a specific time for you to return. But you keep mentioning about greener pastures (elsewhere?) you explain how you have been trying to look for other jobs. It sounds like the leave of study given to you by the employer has no weight, and you actually don't intend to return, but you intend to look for a better job elsewhere. Instead, you need to show that it is important for you to return to your current job. Going for further studies will help you to advance in your job etc.
- The study leave: If there is a letter from the employer showing this, it might help. If there is a contract between you and this said employer its even better. It proves that you will have to go back and work for the same employer for x years.
- You mention ties in the US and ties in Canada. not much about your ties to your home country except your employer (which you have shown you have intentions of leaving)
- You indicate that one of your ties (in Canada) remained in Canada after graduating (was offered a job). It is not bad for them. However, to a Visa officer, it sounds like you might be hoping you would be able to remain in Canada after graduating from your studies and might try and do just that.

This is from the website homepage:
- College specializes in health care programs that prepare foreign-trained health care professionals for work in Canada. The College is an accredited, private post-secondary education institution located in Richmond, a bustling
