You graduated in 2020 so what work experience do you have to show that the program expands on your current job or will give you more job opportunities (pay etc.). Why do you need to come to Canada for that course when you have a B.Eng. Order GCMS notes.

My friend has also applied for the same course and college and we have the almost same profile. He also completed B.E mechanical in 2020 and received ppr.

I have ordered caips notes.

Thank you so much for the suggestion.

You can’t compare your profiles to others. Wait for GCMS notes for full reasons.

Sure, I will wait for caips.

Are there any chances for rejection if I don't have a strong sop?
Refusals are not just based on a strong or weak SOP. Refusals are based on ties to country, job opportunities, funds, travel history, education progression etc.

Gone are the days of an actual assessment

IRCC now uses spreadsheet to pre-fill eligibility- There are atleast 21 + elements that play out initial Pre-assessment eligibility done by
LES [J.Lvl. officer] .... They are then keyed to bulk refusal tool - DM [CBO] either certifies the refusal [which is a formal refusal letter or
reverses and approves it]

There is not much info on your case here to make opinions.. The above details [you provided] alone won't suffice

Forms - profile - external facts etc... all play out

write to me direct if u need assistance,

cheers

Let me be blunt. The VO are not exactly methodical and they have their biases. Most of them have a gut feeling for whom they will allow or whom they will not and now a days they do it at a "industrial scale" using tools like Chinook -- basically they put ALL your profile in one single row in an excel sheet and make decision on 100s of applications in one go. (Read more here : https://vancouverimmigrationblog.com/tag/chinook/). To be very honest, I doubt they read all the nice stories you write in SOP.

And oh, did I mention, this system is assholic (yeah I invented this word) enough to autogenerate the refusal reasons and even GCMS notes (https://heronlaw.ca/a-closer-look-into-chinook-module-4-the-refusal-notes-generator-and-how-it-works/)?

In short, if you are in India then what really determines the result of your SP / WP / Visitor visa application is the that if VO had her share of IRCC Bong and weed on that day. Otherwise they go all ape and reject applications randomly. Its unfair but Cest'la'vie!

Sorry to be bearer of depressing news... To make it up to you, here are some cute singing girls :
, courtesy IRCC and Minister Faser!

What is the source of the pre assessment process that you have outlined above? Are you in any way associated with IRCC or any related Canadian authority?
Asking because this will only add more grist to the numerous speculations that people already make wrt the visa approval process

Hello!

In Canada they have this utterly flawed but still somewhat useful process called as ATIP. People use it to find why goverment officials are having PMS on a particular day. So some bright folks (ie lawyers), use it and get insights into how the applications are processed. This lawyer over here (https://vancouverimmigrationblog.com/tag/chinook/) has documented these insights.

So yes, it is very real. It is very unfair. It is very Canadian.
