Alright lads, just got my GCMS notes. Here's what they say:
“LOA indicates annual tuition fee of $16,297. Combined with approx. $10k per year in living expenses, the total cost to the client would be $52,594. Considering this, and comparing with the employment opportunities available to the client in their chosen field of studies in their home country as well as the local options available for similar studies, and the applicant’s personal, financial, and family circumstances, I am not satisfied that pursuing this level of study in Canada is reasonable.
The applicant has provided financial documents. After reviewing the GIC, tuition receipt, account statements. I am not satisfied that the applicant has sufficient finances readily available to fully cover their tuition and living costs while studying in Canada.
Therefore, I am not satisfied that the applicant meets the requirements of the Act and/or the Regulations, and would depart Canada at the end of the authorized stay.”
These are the refusal grounds of my second study permit application that I lodged 5 days after receiving my first refusal back in July of this year. My biggest mistake was that I re-applied in a hurry that too under non-SDS. The program that I applied to is a College-Diploma in Game-Design from Cambrian, Sudbury Campus. I couldn't find a relevant program in form of a master's or even an undergrad in any good Canadian Uni. In the current LoE that I have been preparing, I have mentioned about the lack of local option in this field in my home country by providing reviews which are negative of course because there is still no proper institute in my country in such field. I have also provided LinkedIn and Glassdoor job postings and also the average and potential maximum pay that is there in this industry in my home country. I have also mentioned that this profession also allows me to generate a passive income through mediums such as freelancing and selling game assets and what not. Most of the job postings list a diploma in game design as a requirement on top of the obvious relevant skill requirements and I've also provided a list of quite a few people who have just a diploma as their qualification but are now at really good positions in the industry. The biggest issue here is the financial concern. My concern is that will these GCMS notes affect my next application as well? because I will be applying under SDS again and based on the guidelines, I have technically fulfilled the financial requirements as I have paid my GIC and first year tuition fee in advanced.
I'd appreciate any valuable input and suggestions.
