An applicant with 4 years' logistics experience was refused a post-degree diploma in Supply Chain & Logistics (Langara, Vancouver) for 'purpose of visit not consistent with a temporary stay', despite strong funds (GIC + one year tuition paid, tax returns and savings shown).
- Order GCMS/ATIP notes first. They show the officer's actual reasoning; members said they typically arrive in ~30-40 days.
- The likely core problem: the program repeats what you already do. With 4 years in logistics, an officer asks why you'd study the same field again. Your SOP must answer this head-on - what specific gap the program fills and how it advances (not restarts) your career.
- Reapply with an SOP that addresses the officer's stated concern from the GCMS notes. Multiple members stressed the SOP decides these 'temporary stay' refusals - funds were clearly not the issue here.
