Different study subject and 13 year GAP

[Arryl77]

Hi friends,
Here is my situation
I'm 35 years old male.
I'm not married, however I have a mother and a sister, living in my country of origin.
I have a University degree in Biology but my working experience over the past 13 years has been closely connected with different area - the Sales and Business management processes.
I have been working all these years in one company and now, after 13 years, I have quite a good position there. ( I can provide the letter from my company with information about my career over these years) However, lack of professional knowledge is one of the major factors constraining my career either in my company or in others.
All these times I have been pursued by an understanding that I need additional business education, though I had not enough money to realize this intention.
At the present moment however, I had enough personal savings for that. (About 50K USD for 2 years) I've already passed IELTS and got an acceptance letter from Assiniboine Community College. My program is Business and Administration 2 year diploma.
The program starts at Sep 2013, so I need to apply for a study permit at the beginning of Feb 2013.
And now I am searching over the Internet for any advice as to how to construct SOP as well as possible according to my situation.
I would be greatly appreciated of any strategy advises.

Kind Regards

1. With this profile, forget any visa for a 2 year Diploma course. The best option would be a University Master degree.

Thanks for the reply.

I always glad to see such a direct answer.
But I would really glad to hear "Why" What exact reason for such direct rejection.
And what's the difference (from the visa officer's standpoint) between 2 year course and Magister Diploma. If we are talking about double intentions - then - I I really wanted to do so then I could do it in either way....

Thanks
