Me too,,,I just got a message from CIC for my study permit application and the result 'refused' they did not say the reason. I'm going to attend the course in Pacific Institute Culinary of Arts this coming Sept. I have no plan to stay also in Canada after I completed my training. I just wanna study in Canada and pursue my career in Culinary and I am planning to have my own restaurant or bakery back home in Taiwan. I have cancelled my application in LCB Paris and I thought Vancouver is the best place to study and pursuing my career in Culinary world. But it seems is not hard to apply the study permit. I have no plans to find a job or work in Canada and my family are here in Taiwan and I live well when in comes in financial. I dont have to go to work. However my kids are growing soon they will leave our house and I am starts thinking having business. I have no experienced to run the kitchen or bakery. So I thought I have to go to school and learned.And I choose to study abroad and experienced the life in Canada while I am studying. I have been in Canada before as a tourist but I don't understand why they refuses my application.
