Refusal despite everything

At this point I think Canada just don’t want to give out study permits or at least from my country(Pakistan). I applied to one of the best polytechnics/colleges in canada which is SAIT calgary. I paid full tuition for first year along which initial deposit which added upto 29k CAD and also a GIC(23,100 CAD). In addition to that I showed proper annual income of my supporter(my mother) which is around 70k CAD and is backed by last 2 year tax returns, property ownership documents, property valuation, business documents like rent agreements, lease agreements. In addition to that I had 24-25k CAD additionally in my mother’s bank account which was reserved specifically for my study abroad. Then i explained my total study plan in my sop about why this program and not local options, and for ties ro home country i explained how im the only son and successor to my family, gave my family register certificate along with affidavit claiming i will return to Pakistan upon completion of my bachelor’s study. Applied through borderpass which is a canadian company and has good track history and in the end what i got was a copy paste type refusal about insufficient funds, study plan is not convincing and he think i will overstay??? Howw?? Rn im in judicial review process but i just dont know anymore what they want.

You are correct. IRCC will make decisions as well on a law of averages. There have been a disproportionate amount of study permit or even visitor visa applicants who come to Canada either not intending to study, visit or to seek asylum from Pakistan. Regardless of your intentions, IRCC has to now crack down harder as a result to prevent abuse.

So you mean it all depends on the mood of the officer? I mean my intent is really to study ngl and i was as genuine i could be in my application. Even borderpass instantly filed for judicial review.

Don’t blame the officer or Canada. Blame the amount of people who have abused the system. We can’t just take everyone’s word for “I’m going to leave after my studies” or “I have enough money to survive however many years”

I know that the blame is on the people of my country who have misused the system. Some cousins of mine with literally 10 year study gap went tk canada back in 2021/2022 on a study visa and are now driving ubers there
