Hello All,
As the title suggest my study visa was refused and now I am thinking of reapplying and in desperate need of advice. The reason for refusal on the letter:
- I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
- Your proposed studies are not reasonable in light of: your level of establishment, language abilities and/or financial ability and I am not satisfied you are a genuine student and that you will depart Canada at the end of your authorized stay.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be accompanied by a new processing fee.
My profile:
I am computer engineer and PGD holder in international business with around 10 years of experience in advertising agencies working on digital marketing campaigns for top brands. I am a 35 year old divorced male from India. My last full time job was in April 2018, after that I volunteered for a year at a school for underprivileged children in sikkim. I am planning to study marketing MBA and the reason for studying is to upskill and lack of formal marketing master's education. Currently I am working as a freelance digital marketing consultant. I have taken a loan of around CAD37000, a scholarship of CAD 5000, GIC certificate of CAD 10,000 and some 6-7k CAD in my bank account as FD and cash. The PGD diploma was a part time one year course. I have Toefl score of 99. If it helps, I was let go from my last job because the client moved the business to a new agency and my company could not absorb me on other accounts mainly for the lack of mainline advertising skills. I didn't mention this in my LOE but I am contemplating mentioning this and explaining the need for an MBA in 2nd application. However the 1.5 year gap since April 2018 might be difficult to explain in my long term plans, I did volunteer for most of this time. and kept freelancing. I got admission into a private uni in Vancouver (UCW). Also around 2 years ago I had applied for an express entry PR but didn't get in the pool as my CRS score was low. I think that somehow all that has factored into the decision and I am not sure if reapplying would do any good or I end up wasting more money on this goal. I applied online for the study permit, normal application.
I plan to reapply within one week as classes for the program start in Jan first week.
Please let me know what other info you need to help me.
Thanks much!
