No one can tell you. Assume you have admission to a college or univeristy. You need to show the funds to pay for tuition funds to support yourself. You need to show education and career advancement in your home country (justify spending the money), ties to home country (job, family etc). Overall you need to show that you will have a better paying job in your home country after the program and that the program builds on current education. So if you have a degree, consider a Masters program.
Given timelines a study permit may not be any faster.
