Applied on September 15th for Jan intake (conestoga) strategic Marketing communication 2014 graduate in Visual communication -60% 2015 geaduate PG Diploma in Journalism-60% 7+ years of experience in Media Industry Reason for rejection: The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application I am thinking for 2 options, 1. one to defer to May and wait for the reason to come in and then reapply. 2. Reapply immediately with updated SOP and if rejected again, do the first option. Welcoming suggestions. Thanks

Apply for GCMS notes first and get a detailed explanation of rejection. Then accordingly you can re apply, either for the same course or for a different course

Do masters in communication. Diploma after so many years of experience is not considered justifiable progression
