Visitor to Study Permit

[sweepie17]

I have been in Canada on a valid visitor record for 2 years. I have a past history of a spousal sponsorship refusal with me as a dependent, and unfortunately I don’t think that will work out anymore. I am planning on applying for a study permit outside of canada. I already applied to a school, though it is just a 1-year course which will be eligible for a 1-year pgwp. Would applying for a study permit even give me chance? Considering my history I honestly am already okay with just going back home but I’m thinking of giving it a last chance so I won’t regret anything. My concern is that if I get refused again, it would probably affect my future applications. Pls help

So you have PAL an it is PGWP eligible. Can you justify costs by showing education and career advancement (higher pay and job opportunities) when you return home. IRCC knows you have been in the country a long time with a failed PR application so they will know you are just trying to stay. Do you have the $21k cash plus tuition? It is difficult to show that you will return home if in the country for so long. So you are leaving Canada to apply.

Unfortunately i have an unfinished degree in my home country. Though this program is aligned directly to my studies back home, i was thinking if a degree back home would be more worth it than having a 1-year course then just receiving a certificate. And i feel like that also would raise red flags to the officer that will see my application.

So you don't have any post secondary education? If a program that only requires secondary then don't count on getting approved.
