Need Suggestion and Advice. ( Study Permit )

[Pilot_MikeNovember]

Hey folks i am going to a flight school for my pilot training.
Course Duration : 18 months
Tuition Fee : 65000 CAD
Funds Available (Brother) : 70000 CAD+ 15000 CAD ( prepaid )
Property Value (Father ) : 55000 CAD

Back I January, I applied for a study permit.Got refusal, requested for notes.
Reason of refusal from notes :
Guarantor ( Brother ) Clients indicates total cost of studies to be 65000 CAD.15000 prepaid.I am not satisfied that is is a reasonable expense to pay more than 2 years of salary to pay for a brother's studies.Based on the money demonstrated i am not satisfied that the applicant has demonstrated enough funds for stay in canada.As a result i shall not issue a study permit as required by R222.Study permit refused.

It is quite normal to be dependent on family if one has not completed his education in south asia.However for this time application i plan to show my father as my employer.Last time i showed my brother because his salary was 1000 CAD more than my father thought would help in getting a permit.

So as for the proof of funds this time i plan to do the following.
1.My father's bank statement
2.My father's financial competency certificate from the bank ( current bank balance equivalent to 72000 CAD )
3.Get the property valuated and show it as a back - up in case more funds are needed ( worth 55000 CAD )
4.Father salary Certificate.
5.Father Employment Certificate.
6.Copy of Father's Contract ( which shows free housing provided , free air travel , free healthcare )
7.A letter of undertaking from father.
With my plan if you could suggest or advice any benefiting changes i would be really grateful.

Requiring to borrow money from family members does show you don't have enough funds to support yourself in Canada.

I get that.
I recently graduated high school.I live in Qatar where the concept of working as a student or moving out doesn't exist (not permitted by law).Apart no high school grad can afford to get thousands of dollars of worth training obviously it's gonna be my father who is gonna be taking care of my expenses.
i just wanted to know if the proof of funds i plan to show this time would work or not.

No. Those are not proof of financial support. You can find the list of acceptable documents to prove financial support here:

Proof of financial support
You must prove that you can support yourself, and the family members who come with you, while you are in Canada.
You can prove your funds with

• proof of a Canadian bank account in your name, if you've transferred money to Canada
• Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) from a participating Canadian financial institution
• proof of a student or education loan from a bank
• your bank statements for the past 4 months
• a bank draft that can be converted to Canadian dollars
• proof you paid tuition and housing fees
• a letter from the person or school giving you money or
• proof of funding paid from within Canada, if you have a scholarship or are in a Canadian-funded educational program

You need your father to write a letter as your sponsor, explaining he has set aside $50K (remaining tuition) and $15K (living expenses) for your education, and that his disposable income each month is more than enough to cover his own expenses after that. His bank statements will prove what his regular monthly expenses are.

If you can obtain a $15K GIC (for living expenses) it would help your chances, and yes using your father as sponsor instead of brother will help your case immensely. The GIC is refundable if you show the Canadian bank a rejection letter from IRCC so don't worry.

I assume you're not a Qatari citizen, so you may also face additional scrutiny as they prefer people to apply from their home country, and of course as a repeat applicant that doesn't help you either. I suggest you make sure your financial support is clearly established, and use your letter of explanation to discuss why Canadian training is important to your job prospects back home.

Yes I second this. You will need to convince the visa officer that you will return to Qatar upon completion of your program.
Because of covid, the entire airline industry has taken a hit and Qatar Airways will be cutting jobs so this will make it harder.

Your SOP needs to be well written and very convincing.

Well, they may actually need to convince the visa officer they will depart to whatever country in South Asia they're a citizen of. Qatar is irrelevant as far as Canada is concerned because they can't return there by right.

Not sure about Qatar, but in the UAE, if you're sponsored by your parent you can return until one year after you graduate from an overseas institution. Qatar may or may not have a similar rule.
If not, then yes he needs to state in his SOP what his post-graduation plans are and how his pilot course will help him achieve them.
