Hi, hope everyone is safe and healthy
I am planning to reapply again after being refused last May 2020. (my program was supposed to start that month; I submitted Feb and the approval got delayed because of the pandemic) It is already my 4th straight refusal, and also because of "studies not being reasonable" (I've already changed program 3 times), but am still hopeful. I heard that someone got a visa on their 7th try (but I don't hope it will come to that).
Anyway, these are my GCMS notes:
"Documentation on file reviewed. I note the applicants numerous previous refusals for a Canadian SP. Applicant wishes to undertake a technical writing certificate program at Seneca College. I note that according to the applicant's resume he already works in a technical writing job, has 17 years of professional writing experience including supervisory positions and holds a BSC in Communications Technology Management. As such, I am not satisfied that the proposed course of studies reflects a logical academic or career progression for the applicant. Therefore I am not satisfied with the applicant's purpose for studying in Canada, nor that the applicant would be a genuine student whose intent is to study and would respect the terms of admission. Application denied."
First of all, I am a content writer and not a "technical writer" as the VO claims (these two types of writing are different, and I already explained it in table form in my SOP. I am just saddened that perhaps the VO didn't read my SOP and just based the decision on my resume and app form, even though I tried to explain in detail in my SOP (which was around 4 pages) why the program will be taking is different and a progression to my current program. I also noticed they based it on my refusals. Is it because of the COVID situation that they didn't go through the SOP anymore? Is there any way they can look past my refusals?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
