Just putting down my observation into categories. These observations are usually the Frequently Asked Questions. If there is some point missing or any change is there or something seems wrong, feel free to point it out and I will update the Main Post.
The Myth:
Applying to some province increases chances of acquiring VISA than a few others. [Truth: Applicant's profile and applied university/college matter the most]
Showing more funds assures VISA. [Truth: Strong Profile is all it takes]
VISA chances differs under SPP/General. [Truth: A Strong Profile is strong irrespective of the category under which it has be applied]
Any sort of GAP after last education means no visa. [Truth: If the "GAP" as said here is actually a job experience it counts as a plus point especially if it is related to the prospective course/field of study. If the "GAP" is vacuum, other factors in the profile will matter although it might portray the applicant as a potential immigrant but not necessarily.]
SOP is improves chances of securing visa (for Indians). [Truth: Best advice is to follow the checklist. And the Indian Checklist does not ask the applicant to include the SOP so it is merely a piece of paper to the VO with no meaning whatsoever.]
The Truth:
University Education is better than college education. [Needs no additional comment. According to employers perspective it surely is.]
Admission to a reputed University increases chances of securing VISA. [Getting admission in a reputed University is surley not a piece of cake and CHC knows this very well. So to a great extent it does secure the applicant a VISA.]
Going for a course in the same field but of lower level than existing qualification (like Post Secondary Diploma after acquiring a Degree) can lead to a rejection as it doesn't make sense and is a sign of potential immigrant who would try anything to get into Canada.
The Unknown: (Can later be added to the fact file if proved right or wrong)
Changing college/university affects our profile for PR. [People will speak for and against it, but till date there is no strong evidence for or against it.]
Credit Hours affects PGWP. [People will speak for and against it, although in most of the cases its against.]
PGWP Duration after 2 year/16 months course. [Some of the people say that they received 16 months PGWP after 16 months course and there have been good number of cases where people get 24 months and 3 years PGWP as well after 16 months course. This could be related to the above point, but again its unknown.]
Disclaimer: The above mentioned points are mere observation and are not stone carved facts mentioned officially anywhere.
