Yep..thought to do the program but it seems like applicable for entry level engineers only. Anyway going to do project management..
 
Many Congrats Vivek! :)

My brother is in the same boat as you were...his study visa for May session has been rejected with same reason -course not reasonable in light of previous study..
I am planning to advise him the same, to reapply in next session by adding SOP to his application.

I think you are flying to Canada on 28th, so wish you all the best dude.
Whenever you have few minutes, can you please send me a copy of your SOP to rajat.bansal@hotmail.com?
(there are no spaces in email id, but seems its adding by itself)

Thanks in advance!
Rajat
