You have the grace of 60 days after a visa rejection to file for appeal or judicial review. I believe you must have exceeded this stipulated time. Accordingly, your best bet is to reapply and carefully address the concerns that were raised by the responsible immigration officer. You may want to share a copy of your GCMS note on this platform, so we can discuss about your prospects and better ways to overcome the immigration officer's concerns.

Hi Honorable,

No Visa is easy to get via any DLI (School) , you have to work for it by proofing to a Visa Officer you are a genuine student & your purpose of visit to Canada is to study

The two skool u mentioned & the 1 year/2 years program duration has nothing to do with your Visa Chances.

The only thing a 2 years Post Graduate Certificate program will give you is "more time to process Permanent Residence if u wanna stay back in Canada after your studies"

Great

Biotechnology - Advanced Fast Track - Optional Co-OP at Centennial College is not a Post Graduate Diploma program. However, the requirement for admission is similar to a PGD. I don't believe it should be an issue in your visa application if you're able to explain your reasons for opting for the program and list out some of the courses you did during your undergraduate studies that are relevant to your choice of program. Your short and long term goals after studies.

In fact essence of this thread is to prevent all those sugar-coated agents from deceiving genuine students. That's why I often ensure that agents don't just post and lie here on this particular thread. I have studied abroad, I have sponsored my young ones abroad and I know how difficult it is to fall victims.

I also concluded that the majority of those agents duped; seems not properly educated, highly unexposed, greedy, and over expectant. These days the internet is so big and accessible for any person to validate many lies of the agents.

In 2010, an agent in Kano state (older woman around 50 years duped illiterate father that want to sponsor his sons to Cyprus. The man owns a cattle ranch in Kano and decided to send his two boys to study Engineering at EMU, then I was working at the EMU international office. This woman collected nearly 4 years school fees and accommodation for each child from the man around 16 million per child and she only paid around 1.5 million naira to EMU. The father cannot use internet and the sons were somehow local then but intelligent. I was teaching them at first year and it was after 2nd year when EMU demanded another fees the older son narrated how much his dad paid, thanks to EMU, we coordinated with Nigerian embassy in Turkey to retrive all the money to the man. This was possible because the sons are smart and educated while the father was just listening to the woman and giving out money anyhow. These boys graduated from EMU and doing super great now.

This is relevant to all countries! I met someone in Canada recently; first the passport he has with him has reduced age by 10 years downward, his name is totally switched to another person name. He told me he had lived in USA for years and now in Canada.....with all these endless journey he barely can afford many things. No meaningful achievement except his polished English. In fact, many people misunderstand what abroad is....they often mistaken it to be biblical or Quranic Heaven.

Guidelines on How to write an SOP (Statement of Purpose)

Most important thing: Avoid Plagiarism

While writing SOP, the following things to be mentioned which will boost chances of convincing a VISA OFFICER and possibly getting a STUDY VISA APPROVAL:

1. Introduce yourself in first paragraph. Write, what kind of person you are, your interests and personality etc. This may also include one line background of work & study you did earlier. This should be related to the course your are going to pursue.

2. Explain what do you know about the area of study you are applying for.
Like HR, Marketing, Finance, IT, Multimedia, Engineering etc. Market trends, application of knowledge in work, organisations/roles where you can work after studying in this XYZ field and if possible, 1-2 real life example where you experienced this personally (in your current job or someone in family who works in this field etc.)This shows you are well read and know what you are getting yourself into.

3. Now explain Why Canada.
Mention all points Canada is famous for like low crime rate, diversity (which helps in learning), livability and quality of life related statistics etc. Facts & figures help you here. Google a little

4. Why this particular college/Univ.
