Hi friends,

My profile is:

B.Com ( 80%), MBA ( CGPA 8.2 ), IELTS ( Above 7 ), 6 years work experience in Finance

I want to apply for 8 month Grad Certificate program at George Brown College. I am interested in International Business course. This course is inline with my industry experience and previous degrees. My questions are:

1. I have heard few cases wherein SPP study visa has been rejected for Grad Certificate program when candidate has already done Masters.

2. How to make Visa application strong so that rejection chance is reduced?

Experience friends, please help. Appreciate a lot.

It all depends upon satisfying the Visa Officer. For this, you need to-
Draft a strong SOP and explain well about your interest in the program u r going to pursue. And also mention some experience in that field.
And show enough funds that u will not going to be a burden on their economy.
GoodLuck!

Going for a graduate certificate program after mba will not be great, although a strong sop will help.Also this is a course which almost everyone atleast from India applies i.e international business or global business management.My advice will be to go for a university program with a strong sop that will surely make ur profile strong.

Thank you very much friends for your generous comments. They act as a light in the dark.

1. Instead of Grad Certificate, do you suggest going for Advanced Diploma ... after doing an MBA from India. Does that increase chance for visa.

2. If I get admission in an Ontario College, and I apply for Visa under General Category and not under SPP, does that increase chance for Visa.

I see a lot of study visa get rejected because of "Your proposed studies is not in line with previous experience..." and embassy doubts if this candidate is going for immigration.

3. Can somebody please help with a strong SOP template? What good statement shall I make to prove that I dont have intention to stay in Canada, and the course that I am choosing in very much inline with my previous degree and work experience.
