Study Permit

[adelante]

Hello,

I have 3 nice questions:

1) I have a master in Civil Engineering and I am applying for a Diploma in a college in Ontario. As a foreigner, I have 15 years work experience in Iran. Do I have any chance of rejection of my visa? If yes, What could be the reason?

2) Since I am a foreigner residing in Iran and applying here, is there any chance that my visa get rejected with a "No home ties" reason?

3) Is it necessary to write a cover letter or else to submit along with my application? If yes, Which points I have to mention in it.

Thanks

1. Yes. You have a Masters so you need to show career progression to justify costs. A college diploma is not expanding on your education. How can you justify costs with a higher paying job? Eg. if cost of program is $40k then how much more will you be making following program.
2. You need to show home ties and reason to return. Unfortunately, those applying from Iran have a high rate of claiming asylum once in Canada so that may be factored in. So you need really strong ties - family (spouse and children), business, investment properties etc.
3. You should write a statement of purpose explaining why you need to study in Canada now with a masters and 15 years of work experienc.
