***CAREER CHANGE***

[Alamshk9]

Hi everyone,

I plan to do my pilot training in Canada. I have finished my Bachelors in Electrical Engineering and have more than 4 years of exp. I intend to enroll myself for September intake. Only issue is with study permit. I have contacted several applicants whose study permit got rejected, reason 'your proposed studies is not reasonable in light of one or more: your qualifications, previous studies, language abilities, records, missing mark sheets, level of establishment, financial abilities or your future prospects and plans'. After seeing this, I think that the same thing will happen with me as well.

Also, the flight college requires IELTS 5.5 band overall but I have read anyone less than 6 band has low chance of study permit approval.

Do i need to give a SOP as well, cause some people say it is not necessary since last year.?

SOP has never been officially required, but SOP is your only chance to explain your application to the Visa officer otherwise he has to try and glue together all your submitted files without any guidance especially in your case of career switch, how is he going to make sense of your switch without an SOP?

IELTS less than 6 can also lead to a rejection.
