Visa Refusal for Jan2012 intake

[shezil]

Hi Guys,

Would need your help to understand the reasons for rejection... Before that let me give you a brief about myself.

I hold a Pakistani passport but as I am married to an Indian I am residing in India for the past 4yrs now under the long term visa permit.
My mother-in-law was my sponsor.
Had applied for a post graduation course in Human resources from Humber college.
My educational bg is I have done a correspondence post graduation in Human resources.
I applied for a Canadian study visa for the Jan 2012 intake and I got rejected for the reasons below:

1) You have not demonstrated that you are sufficiently well established in your country of residence.

2) your proposed studies are not in light of........

Can anyone please help me or suggest with what I have to be careful or what are the additional docs that I need to give when reapplied.

Thanks..

Hi,

Here, I won't talk about your course selection/previous academics.


For your level of establishment, you can apply from your country of residence (India). And you need a credible level of establishment/family tie. You can prove it by way of any job/work history, bank
account detials, education,
property details. In other
words, you should have
something to show your level of establishment in India.

Otherwise, you may prefer to apply from Pakistan. In case you apply from Pakistan, you will have to move back (physically) to
Pakistan and apply after
showing your strong ties to
Pakistan.

There is generally no time frame to live in your country of citizenship/residence before you put off application for study permit. However, when you apply you MUST be able to show/convince Visa officer that you intend to return back home after you complete your course.

Now you decide from where you can prove your level of establishment, India or Pakistan!

I am not sure if 1st reason is the major reason for rejection as the second reason ie study mismatch is more like it.  You already have a PG degree (MBA I suppose) in HR and you wanted to go for PG Certificate in the same field ie HR which is technically of a little lower grade than that.  This very very often leads to study mismatch based rejection.

Thank you Enfield for your comments. I agree to what you are saying, I would try the second time from India only but probably show some strong ties that will make them feel I will come back. Will also submit a SOP explaining my education and stay permit.
Hopefully that should work!!
Will give it a second shot!

SOP doesn't qualify as a document from the VISA checklist hence there is no point in adding it.

Through the documents mentioned in the checklist we need to convince the Visa Officer that our purpose in Canada is to study and come back to our country of establishment (let reality be different).  Trying to convince VO to go for a program in the same field but lower level will mostly yield no VISA as it happened before.

I would advice you to apply for another program like Project Management/Marketing Management/Public Relations and later change the program to HR once you have landed in Canada.

Hi,

In short, there are two issues;

1. Study mismatch (Read again Royalsting post)
2. Weak level of establishment

1 is very important and it's something which leads to 2.

Ok will keep that mind....
