Hi,
I had applied for my study permit and was rejected, however there was no specific reason for rejection mentioned. They only mentioned the following :- Other Reasons : Your proposed studies are not reasonable in light of one or more of: your qualifications, previous studies, employment, level of establishment, language abilities, or your future prospects and plans.

I then reapplied with additional set of documents and was rejected again. Now I have 2 rejections and no specific reason for it.Well I analysed all possibilities but could not guess why my application could have been rejected. Hence I have applied for CAIPS in order to know the exact reason of rejection of my study permit. My intake was in September. However due to not getting my visa I cannot attend the same and will have to differ my admission for January.

I am very keen on coming to Canada and have worked very hard for it. Could you please advice as to how I should tackle this problem and what I should change when I reapply for the third time.
Please throw some light as to why does the Canadian Embassy not mention the reason for rejection. Besides this if there was a reason for rejection then how come the University accepted me.

Please advice your views about the same.

Regards
Danny

You have not mentioned your education, your work experience, or the course you intend to do in Canada. It does not matter whether the university accepted your admission or not. Canadian embassy has to be convinced that you are coming to Canada for genuine reasons. Your background and the course you have chosen do not match would be my best guess.

Lot of students are coming to Canada on student visa. In fact in some of the courses, more than 90% of students are international students and they pay a lot more in fee than domestic students.

Once you are rejected for a student visa and you applied soon after, it should not surprise a repeat rejection. There maybe some serious disconnect in your application that may have hinted the visa officer that you maybe using a short college course as a means of achieving a goal: that of entry to Canada. I suggest you go thru your application materials, review how well your purported college admission collates and correlates with your life experience and ask yourself if you would grant YOU a student visa. Don't forget that Canada is essentially garbage when it comes to education and there ain't nothin' in Canada that you could not secure from Indian educational establishment. However, an argument that you could not secure entry to competent Indian schools due to stiff competition is unlikely to elicit sympathy from the visa post. This kind of situation is quite prevalent in China, where they routinely have scores of young people fighting for a single entry. The Chinese (I know a few) then embark on securing funding, making it readily available if the candidate is granted visa, and all other requirements. They often provide "proof" they will not seek to stay beyond their college program, even though this can not be argued by Canada later if the candidate initiates residency process, while still in Canada (or US; I did that in US, became a citizen, wandered into Canada and within the year gave up US). So in the end, it all comes down to some tricks to get in and once in, as they say "get in where you fit in" and start singing rap, LOL.

On a serious note, I strongly advise you to focus on India; fulfill your educational needs, learn skills for real, with true zeal and commitment, once you get into a profession there, you never know, you might fall in love with India itself. I visited India last year, wandered around for a month, and now winding down here to move there for the long haul (I am an OCI by virtue of origin).

Hey Guys,
Thanks for your replies. Let me give you a brief about my background. I have completed my BCOM in 2010 and hold total work experience of 8 years which includes 4 years in India and 4 years in Dubai, U.A.E. I worked for various BPO's in India and then moved to Dubai where I was working for a Tourism Company in the Accounts Receivable Department as an Executive. One more thing, After my 12th Grade I was pursuing Hotel Management for a year and then discontinued the course for personal reasons. I then completed BCOM. I had applied to TRU for Post Baccalaureate in International Business and was selected. However my student permit was rejected. Does the embassy look at one's aggregate marks in his graduation years ? Please advice as I had scored an aggregate of 45.2% in the three years of BCOM. Could this have been one reason for rejection ? Or the fact that I had taken up Hotel Management and then quit and did BCOM ?

Is your work experience and education in any way related? You worked in BPOs. Were you a customer service representative on the phone? I am assuming it has nothing to do with your B. Com.

You worked as an executive in Accounts Receivable Department as an Executive. So you were not actually doing the Accounts Receivable work but you were doing something else. So again nothing to do with your B. Com then?

So may be visa officer is finding a disconnect between your degree and work experience, so not convinced why you want to come to Canada to pursue International Business.

The rules have changed recently with regards to students getting PR. One of the major hurdles would be to get LMIA. So your intent is to get PR, do your research. I know many students on work permit who are not qualified to apply for PR (not enough points) without LMIA.

Hey Raj,
My work experience during BCOM is not relevant however after BCOM is definitely relevant as Accounts is a part of BCOM. I was carrying out the role of an Accounts Receivable personnel . Another question is why do I need to pay my University and Living Expense fees before getting my visa? Is this a rule that Canada follows ?
