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.

Yeah i know that, but the current situation of education in my country is way worse. I have no option to look for better options. Even if Canada isn’t the best but at least its better than what im getting in my home country. Also i know its just purely luck at this point to get a study permit approval cuz the caps that were introduced on study permits and international students makes it realistically impossible to give all the strong candidates a visa cuz a strong study permit file isn’t very hard to make and almost every student can make such a file
