If it's a college Diploma, I think it's difficult. But some people have gotten their visas with college diplomas, even after their Bs.C.
But you need to convince the visa officer. How? The guru will advise you on that.

Bobomaigida:


If the diploma is a post graduate diploma, then you are fine, you just have to draft a good SOP to explain your plans and tie them with your experience.

All the best

Somebody shout hallelujah (X7)!!! Ok, you're the next to share the good news here. After several fasting and prayer, night vigil inclusive (me and my wife.. LOL).
Hey guys, it's my time to share the good news! I return all the glory to ALMIGHTY GOD!!
I've been a completely silent reader for a while, I found this forum after I submitted my application. However, I have learnt a lot here.

Application date: August 10, 2021 (study permit and spouse open work permit).
Upfront medical, PS: I didn't monitor when the medical was updated.
PPRs request: November 12
Study level admission: PhD

Funding:
Award of excellence from school: $43,211
Yearly renewable research fund: $17,500
Mitac research grant: $6,000
Personal USD account MBS: $8,000 (lump sum transferred from my Germany account with an explanation and recommendation letter from the university I worked while in Germany (just research position))
Father-in-law account (first bank MBS, please see remarks below): sorry, I won't disclose the amount (but with several lump sums, so I printed 14 months to show that it has always had lump sums) with an explanation of the sources... I didn't submit any document to back up my explanation.

Additional Docs:
IELTS (only me, my wife didn't submit)
Nigeria OND certificate (Mathematics and Statistics)

Germany M.Sc. certificate (Communication and Information Technology)
Recommendation letter from two companies in Germany (Not addressed to VO, just to whom it may concern letters)
Resume for me and my wife
Marriage cert and pictures
Landed properties and plans without any valuation

REMARKS
1. Prayer doeth all things... Let me state clearly that I made a lot of mistakes in the form and with nothing to back up my lump sums. One of the silly mistakes I made was not clicking yes to the official language questionnaire, because I filled my form already before I read about NSE, so I just registered for NSE that week, when the result came out, I forgot to correct my official langue box in the form. I discovered it after 2 months.
2. Please note that the first bank MBS can be requested in a different mode. You need to apply for your visa first, once you have your UCI number, proceed to the first bank, they will send it directly to the visa office with your UCI. For more explanation, visit your first bank branch.
3. MEDICAL: For people who couldn't book a medical appointment, please go directly to IOM in Lagos very early, you will see many people in front of the gate, 95% of them are for UK medical. Just tell them security or gate-man that your medic is for Canada visa, you will be booked manually there and be given a maximum of a week date of appointment.

QUESTION! QUESTION!! QUESTION!!!
1. My wife passport will expire on July 30, 2022 (less than 9 months remaining), when I called a friend from Nigeria immigration, he said that only passports with 6 months remaining can be renewed.... Please what can I do because I hope she could get a new passport before sending it?
2. Please do I need to pay for vaccination in Nigeria and how long must we be vaccinated before travelling to Canada in roder to escape 14 days quarantine?
3. Please if you are already in Quebec, I need to speak with you regarding accommodation, even sublease to stay for some weeks.

To everyone expecting good news, it's settled IJN.
