Hello everyone,
As you can see in the title, I applied total 4 times for Canadian study permit from February 2019 to July 2019. They refused my study permit 3 times. Last 2 were refused with the same reason : purpose of visit.
My profile wasn't so strong. 12th: 46%
Bachelors : 50%
Current topup degree (Final year of another bachelor's degree) 63% (Didn't even receive my degree certificate of second degree when I applied, I received it after visa approval)
Ielts: 7.5 no less than 7
I ordered GCMS NOTES after my first refusal and tried to understand from the reasons given for refusal and tried to write a new statement of Purpose, but even after that, they rejected it twice.
With several rejections and studying my old statement of Purpose, I slowly started understanding what visa officer is actually looking for in your application. I wrote a statement of purpose of 5 pages (it's too much, isn't it) with every detailed information and within 2 weeks, I got visa approval. So I want to tell everyone who is thinking to give up after 1 or 2 rejections even after having a strong case, just don't. Don't give up. If your academic and ielts score are good, have sufficient funds, work on your statement of Purpose. Write what they want to read. Need some help? I will help you without charging anything unlike consultants since I would be more than happy if I can help you achieve your dreams.

Good going brother
What were the reasons given for refusal
When I applied for the first time, they mentioned many reasons. Such as lack of fund, low marks in past, family ties, purpose of visit, immigration status and travel history. When I applied for the second time, I answered to their concerns in my statement of purpose, they again refused it but wihh only one reason : purpose of visit. So I was a bit hopeful since I answered their all other concerns except purpose of visit. They again refused my third application with the same reason: purpose of visit. I finally succeed to convince them about the purpose of visit in the fourth try.

Hey. It gives me some confidence after reading your story. Anyway, these were the reasons given for my refusal. Could you please help me?

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.
• Your proposed studies are not reasonable in light of: your level of establishment, financial ability and I am not satisfied you are a genuine student and that you will depart Canada at the end of your authorized stay.

Thank you.

For the first two given reasons, I can help you with my experience. For the last reason (they also gave me that reason in my first SP REFUSAL) , I can't help you until I know about your previous degree and the program you gonna study in Canada, your ielts score and your academic score.

Your academic profile is a lot stronger than mine. I also had work experience of 3 years and they said, "with a bachelor's degree and 3 years of work experience, why you wanna spend money on a pg diploma". So in my new sop, I wrote that pg diploma is a shorter version of a masters degree with almost equivalent qualifications. But in a masters

There are so many people who got visa approval even without submitting an SOP. but if your previous and proposed study fields are different, you must submit an SOP to explain why did you choose this field.

Not as strong as you think. I started my UG on 2009. But couldnt finish it on time i.e on 2013. I took a break and started working from 2013-2017 and Finished my UG on 2018 from another UNIVERSITY. Worked 2 more years till April 2019. I have explained this in my SOP. I stated due to "back logs and family issues I couldnt complete it on time".

I guess you didnt finish the reply.

I will write what you told regarding the PG diploma in my new SOP. Any more suggestions?
When they rejected my first application based on my previous degree score which was low, I told them that rather than making any excuses about my average performance in the past, I would accept the fact as a grown up person. I knew that cannot change the past but I can surely focus on my present to make a better future and that's why I worked hard on my studies after coming to the Netherlands.
So same way, you can tell them by accepting your past but also mention that when I realized how important education is for my life, I decided to complete my degree and in the final yer, I completed with xxx GPA. And I also worked hard on improving my English proficiency.
So the best way is to go straight forward.. Accept the facts but also show them that with time, you have realized many things about education.
