How likely is my study permit application going to be rejected for being unemployed?

[Pradhav]

I will apply for the study permit next month with fingers crossed. I hope I get it.

Hey Dhruvarora
What reasons have you mentioned in visa sop for unemployment

 

[Shital Satpute]

Thankfully my visa was approved, sorry for taking so long to reply. Haven't checked on this forum in a while.

Just make sure to write a convincing SOP

Could you please share your SOP on shitalsatpute9@gmail.com?

My background:

I graduated in mid-2016 and have almost 1 and a half years of experience. I quit my job at the end of Dec 2017 and have been unemployed ever since (1 year and 3 months unemployment when I actually submit my permit application).
I have sufficient funds for the entire program + cost of living in my name and own personal account (will also supply the bill of sale of the an apartment I had to sell to secure the funding). Additionally, I have almost 300k CAD of fixed assets tying me back to my home country.
The program I am applying to is an MBA (I have a Bachelors in Finance) at a reputable public university, so that shouldn't be a problem. I'm also registered to take a CPA exam soon and will supply the VO with my exam registration details.
I'm currently working on a strong SOP in order to explain my reasons of wanting to study in Canada, that specific university and that specific program. I'll also highlight that I will be returning to my home country upon the completion of my degree.
I'm worried that my application would be rejected specifically due to my unemployment. I made a lot of stupid decisions and have been unemployed by choice, rather than by fortune due to burning myself out.
Now that I have my life back together, my stupid mistakes and decisions have come back to haunt me.

My question:

Should I obtain a statement (signed, stamped and official letterhead) from a company a friend of mine owns stating that they have a job offer waiting for me after I finish my MBA in Canada? Or will it look too suspicious?

To clarify what I mean by suspicious, I mean wouldn't the VO wonder why I am unemployed if I have this job offer on hand?

Am I better off with or without such a statement?

I was only unemployed for 4 months due to the covid situation and they refused my visa saying 'current employment situation'. I think you should apply after getting employed.

so they want an employed letter , that's kinda understandable cuz of the current situation .

I applied online and stated in my SOP that I resigned in order for me to get ready for my studies. But due to the current situation I deferred to winter.

I deferred after receiving an AIP because I don’t trust them that eligibility is all done in the first stage.
