What type of program. Masters? PhD? Public school? Does you partner want to come as well? How young/old are the children?
Hi all,
I'm waiting for offer from Holland College for their 1-year Project Management Postgraduate Certificate. Here is my profile:
Bachelor Degree in Business Administration obtained in 2003
Work as administrative assistance (last position was Head of subdivision): 1997-2007
Work experience: freelance translator (including some freelance translation coordinator positions): 2007-present
IELTS: 7.0
Gap year: 17 years
Choosing this particular PGC program to open my chances on translation Project Coordinator/Project Manager position, got interviewed 2-3 times for this position with no luck because I have no project management certificate/diploma. My educational background (got my Bachelor Degree from Open University without a research-related subject) is not suitable for Master's degree.
My questions:
1. What will be my chance at visa approval?
2. My husband and 2 children (15 & 16 years old) will come with me. Should I apply for a study permit alone in the first place and then arrange SOWP & visitor permit for them later? We do have a house and commercial property to show ties to our home country.
Any insights will be most appreciated. Thanks.

More than the study permit I would advise you to think through what a certificate do for you at this stage of your career. If you are from India, it's unlikely a certificate is going to help you land a job given how these things work. Moreover if that is really your aim, a similar course in your country can do the trick for a fraction of the cost. I am sorry if it sounds too direct but sharing my thoughts as a fellow professional.
But if it's eventual immigration that you have on your mind, explore any degree/diploma not less than two years in duration, which will fetch you a three year PGWP. You say that your open school batchelor degree is not eligible for a master's, I am not sure that is necessary true for all systems overseas. Do check out public universities and shortlist a few and check if you could be eligible

1. Can’t tell you chances but you should not be going for a one year certificate in PM when you have a BBA degree. You can take PM programs online as it is a global certification. So why do you need to spend tens of thousands in Canada for a program that can be taken anywhere.
2. Children will need study permits. Your choice on applying together. If you have the funds for the family then it is an option.
