Low grades can be a reason for IRCC to deny a Canadian study
The Federal Court has decided that it is reasonable for an Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) visa officer to turn down an application for a study permit if the applicant has low grades from a previous program of study in “core courses” or “core subjects” that are related to the program they want to study in Canada.
In Barot vs. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), the applicant was an Indian national who was 23 years old. A visa officer at the IRCC denied his request for a study pass, so he asked the court to review that decision.
The candidate went to the University of Mumbai and got a Bachelor’s in Management Studies in 2020. In 2021, the candidate asked for a study permit so that he or she could go to Canadore College and get a post-graduate certificate in entrepreneurship management.
