Hi all, I really need some advice here.

My background is:
45+ HR manager, with 20+ exp
Degree in business admin, accompanying with 2 dependants
Applied college: Red River College
Applied diploma: Business admin diploma

The gcms notes said that after reviewing my educational and employment histories, home ties and establishment, they are not satisfied that the proposed study is reasonable nor it is a logical progression of studies as the course overlaps with my previous studies and experience.

If I change to another diploma program in different field (e.g. IT), would it address their concern? Or be it a post-degree diploma a better choice? Thanks for help.
Clearly you're not a genuine student at all.

You really need to try to find something more appropriate given your career.

Some programs have nontraditional options. For example:

Master of Business Administration in Community Economic Development - Cape Breton University : Cape Breton University (cbu.ca)

"Candidates who do not have an undergraduate degree, and show potential for success in graduate level study, may be admitted to the MBA in CED as non-traditional students."

That means that they have a path for non-traditional students, and it would be worth reaching out to them to see if the GPA is a hard requirement or a soft one. Sometimes they have alternative admissions requirements for people with significant career expertise.
