Study Permit refusal

[Workpermit Canada]

My Study Permit for 1-year Human Resource Management course was refused on grounds that I may not leave the country (Canada) after course completion and that the course didn't sound reasonable in light of my previous studies. I completed my master's in India in 2008 in Human Resource, and since then I am working as HR Professional in India.
Has anyone received study permit refusal on the same grounds? If yes, what was your course of action after that? Did you apply for a different course or a different course in a different province? Any strategies if anyone can suggest. Thanks

Would your considering a different course or changing the university not exactly prove to CIC that you are in fact not interested in this particular program at this particular university but primarily going to Canada? I think you changing your course in the hopes to strengthen your case actually sounds like it weakens your entire argument. The proposed program also does not sound like career progress to start with. You already have a Master's in HR and work as HR professional. CIC rightly questions why another course of the same kind would advance your career.

I would wait for some time and then re-apply and the next time around be more specific how this proposed Master's program significantly differs from your past education and how you believe you will benefit from it.

The course is a college course so inferior to the masters program and makes no sense.

Hey yeah you are right might seem a bit desperate if you change to a different program. However would advice you go for two years program instead of a year program.

 

[Matt173]

Sure but he/she should have thought of this beforehand. Changing the program is worth a try but if I was evaluating study permit applications it would sound desperate rather than being coherent. Just my 2 cents and own opinion of course.

Pointing out that OP applied to a college not a university. Also didn’t apply to another masters but to a post grad diploma.

Yeah I have 3 past resals and with the same reasons.
The loopholes that I noticed are :
1.As you already have Masters in same, why going for the same again, it just reflects that you only want to step in canada without any cause related to study.
2.You already have more than 10 years of experience than what career progression you want now ?
3.you might have already gained the skills of an HR professional then why not apply for a PR program ?
4.on that, you are opting gor a 1 year course that would not even give enough economic gain to Canadian government as compared to a 2 year program which would be beneficial for the country's economy though to a smaller extent.
5.you need to work on your sop very hard or else try to gain points for Express Entry or other PR program.

All the best.

Thanks for the information you have shared. I have submitted a request for GCMS report to get detailed information on refusal reasons.

Thanks a lot for this insight.
I am planning for a Global Business Management/ International Business Management course (duration 1-year). 2 year courses are too expensive, hence 1 year course suits my budget. I am planning to appli for Jan'21 intake, the reason being my study gap, the more I delay the application the more it becomes complicated. I have a very limited choice of colleges that accept gap years. If I have to apply for 2 year program, I will have to start working along with the course to support my financial needs.
