Hello All,

I am new to this forum.

Recently I applied for a Study permit from Saudia Arabia but it got refused with the following two points. please experts I need your advice on how to handle this when reapplying.

Application details:
Holding BS degree with GPA3.6+ (with WES equivalency)
Applied and received DLI for MS, a special letter from DLI, confirming the physical attendance is required.
Course Fee: paid in advance
Experience and study both on continued track, no overlap and in same filed
Travel history: frequently traveler for the last 10 years, EU, UK, US, ME, with some of them valid visas.
Detailed SOP submitted 3-4 pages covering each and everything.

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your immigration status.

for this point, I already submitted the Iqama status, exit-re-entry visa, letter from the employer that they will maintain, and provide the required exit-re-entry visa.

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the limited employment prospects in your country of residence.
for this point, I already submitted a letter from the employer stating that I will be on unpaid leave for the duration of the study, and shell resumes the duties after completing this degree, the company will hold the end of services/benefits, in the letter, it was also written that upon completing the studies we assure you about his return and resuming the duties.

I don't understand what could be behind, I have ordered the GCMS notes but it will take 30-40 days.

If you experts can give me some of your experience what could be behind this to overcome for reapplying.

Thank you

You do have a strong application. The only thing I can think of is maybe you should try showing strong ties to your home country like regular visits to relatives and property ownership. That is the most common reason for GCC residents.

Really do not know what else you can do. It is strange that they rejected your application. @jigzyy might give you a better opinion on this. When did you apply? I am assuming you did not get an AIP, correct?

One thing I have seen here is if your return plan is to your country of residence which is not country of citizenship, it makes it harder. Because that is dependant on wether your country of residence will renew your status there or not

No resident, national of Pakistan, living in Saudi Arabia since 2017
The fact you’re not applying from or even living in your country, prompts the “limited employment in your country” response from the VO. He believes you left Pakistan to Saudi Arabia to get better prospect of Job and now you probably want to enter Canada to Do the same... in my experience it usually better to apply from your home country.

how to overcome if this is the case?


@Neha Agarwal

since I come to Saudia I am working for the same organization, no change. The total experience I have for almost 14 years, I started my career/first job in Kuwait in 2006.

You do have a fairly good application. Your place of residence and your Age must have factored in to the decision making process. Only the GCMS notes will tell. You should not apply again before taking a look at the VO's notes.

I don't think age is the factor as I have seen people in their 40s getting an admission/study permit.

I believe the 2nd option is more concern related to a resident of a non-citizen country, the question is if this is the case how to overcome this?

let's assume i apply from Pakistan but it will be more complicated because, I don't have an active job/salary etc, so it will definitely make VO thinks that I am trying to get there by any mean.

i am sure someone has gone through this hassle and there should be a result, as i don't have any other objections like non-financial /family ties/ relation to the country, as per my research on this forms i found people do have 5 to 6 reasons with indicating family ties and ties to the home country.
i have to find someone who went through this process and how he/she overcome this.
