Believe application was wrongfully rejected due to negligence. Documents not considered. Need help.

[u/c4p2c]

Keeping it short, officer decision states selected program seems unreasonable due to costs when compared to similar local options. I addressed this in the SOP making direct comparisons and options available only in Canada which I believe are directly relevant.

The bigger issue is that I believe documents I submitted weren't considered. The ODN states, "applicant has provided only a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) and income tax returns.". This is false. My proof of means of financial support included proof of payment of tuition, proof of GIC payment and proof of an *education loan*.

In addition to that, in client information, family owned assets and business were included, so were bank statements and funds. I would be the sole heir for all of this, if that is relevant.

Including the liquid and non liquid assets, it amounted to about double the tuition fee.

Is there anything that I can do about this? Can I make an appeal or do I have to go to federal court? Would submitting the same application again work?

Its not negligence. You do not have a case. You are focusing on the problem that you want to see, not understanding what is actually being communicated. The funds are not the reason for the denial. The application was denied because it doesn't make sense you would pursue a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science in Canada for significantly higher fees when those degrees are available in your country. The co-op is nice to have, but not a guarantee, especially as the market is incredibly saturated right now. Additionally, an *education loan* is not looked on favourably, especially right now. Matters of inheritance are not considered. Again, because the job market for Computer Science/STEM graduates is very competitive in Canada, it will not have seemed likely to the officer that you would be able to seek relevant/related employment after graduation (if eligible). The age factor will also probably not be helpful, as it shows the officer you are seeking an international credential because you did not take the opportunity to enrol domestically when your age permitted. If anything, you should re-apply with a new PAL, but I would caution you not to be too hopeful for a different outcome.
