Definitely will be refused because you're studying a diploma program and you have a bachelor degree already. You need to choose something higher like a master degree program in Business. Other then education, there are many variables that can cause for refusal as well such as home country ties, financial etc...

alright, i thought of two solutions:

1. let's say i go to study english (program of less than 6 months), and when there, apply for a study Permit. is it possible ?
2. what about apply for a higher degree, then when there, cancel it and apply for the Diploma ?

1.You mean like go there as a visitor and study English? Yes, you can do that because program less than 6 months doesn't require a study permit. But applying for study permit within Canada might be difficult as you need to show that you'll leave Canada when you finish school but hey you'll never know unless you try because there are some people whose study permit got approved within Canada too.

2.It doesn't work like that...sure you can change your degree but there is a chance that it might not be approved because you're going for a lower level education when you already have a bachelors degree. Because when you land, your study permit will show the school names and education on it.

What if the diploma is in a different field than the BA. For example, if one had a BA in Translation in his country, and wants to study anther field to shift his career. so, he decided to study a diploma in IT. Will he be refused?

Sure you can but you'll need to convince the immigration officer of why you're taking this program and how it will help you in your future career paths.

There is always a chance to be refused. It just the way it is.....you can't determine how the immigration officer will think. Yes studying for 6 month less doesn't need a study permit but getting a visa is difficult. As you need to show financial, home ties, education etc.

What is your status currently? Are you in Canada right now?
