hello everyone，could you please give me some advices？
I want to study a 2-year college diploma in Canada, but since I am already 34 years old, have a bachelor degree in my home country and my intended major is not related to my background, I may have a high risk of visa rejection.
Can I apply for a 1-year graduate certificate program and a 2-year college diploma program at the same college which will start at the same time, then pay tuition and GIC with the 1-year program offer and apply for a study permit, then after entering Canada, register for the 2 year college diploma instead?
I would like to ask two questions about the approach：
1. Is it possible for me to communicate directly with the college at the program application stage that my reason for doing this is to avoid visa rejection, and tell them that I will be transferring to the 2-year program upon arrival. Is it possible for the college to agree to offer me two admissions at the same time? (The reason I want to communicate directly is so that the college does not lose out on the estimated size of the intake, or take away from other candidates' opportunities)
2.If I only apply for the college diploma program and use it to apply for a study permit, is it possible to get it if I am an older-age interdisciplinary student and study backwards? (Provided I have a good enough study plan)
Sorry the questions may be a bit complicated……
I will be really grateful if you guys can give me some advices
Thanks!
