Good Evening Fam
Hope we've all been faring well?

I've been a silent reader on the platform for a while now, and now I'm ready to apply for admission, I have some questions of serious concern to me.

Around November 2020, I applied to the University 1 program (Bsc International business) at the University of Manitoba. I was admitted and applied for my study permit some weeks later.
Please note that at this time, I was in my year 4 in a Nigerian uni, studying chemical engineering.


My study permit application was rejected in April 2021.
Fast forward to now, I have finished my bsc, and I graduated with a 2.2 grade. I'm interested in a business analytics course in Canada.

My questions are as follows.

1) Will my previous Bsc application affect my current application in any way, considering I'll be going for a diploma.(In my first application, I stated that I had no post secondary school education, and same thing refelcted on the SOP I wrote then.

2) Is it better to apply for a diploma in Chemical Engineering/technology just to avoid complexities during the visa application, or do I go ahead with the business analytics diploma I'm interested in.

3) Its been kinda difficult to find business analytics diploma programs. Is it okay to go with graduate certificate programs?

I'd appreciate responses from different people, and people who have been in the same situation.

Cheers everyone
