I've applied for a study permit for a graduate certificate program twice and was rejected at both times.
1)The first time they rejected me was because of the following reasons; (I'm not convinced of the bona fide FUNDS available for your stay in Canada) & (Purpose of stay, I'm not convinced you'll actively pursue the proposed program and you'll leave at the end of your stay. I covered the Funds concern in my second application by providing my sponsor's (Dad) bank Statement/Employment Proof/ Declaration form that he'll fund my education and it was CLEARED!! And for the Purpose of stay, I explained to them that I have already graduated from a university with a degree in Chemical Engineering, that The proposed program will help me in my future career since it is an engineering program, and that a graduate certificate is a suitable alternative for a Masters Program which is shorter and convenient.
2) My second application was rejected for one REASON ONLY (PURPOSE OF STAY)- Upon a complete review of the application, previous academic and employment history and the reasonableness of undertaking the proposed studies in Canada, I am not satisfied you are a bona fide student & would depart Canada at end of authorized stay.
WHAT SHOULD I DO??? I STILL HAVE TO TIME TO REAPPLY BUT WHAT SHOULD I INCLUDE THIS TIME ROUND? HOW CAN I CONVINCE THEM THAT I'M GOING TO LEAVE???? PLEASE HELP
