I am planning to apply for a Diploma/certificate program (1 year) in medical laboratory science, but I'm concerned about how it will affect my study visa approval. Someone told me that study visa for Diploma/certificate program as a bsc holder usually get rejected with logical progression of studies as reason for denial. Does anyone have any experience/idea concerning this?
P.S I have bsc microbiology and I graduated 6 years ago.

You have been misinformed. With a good SOP showing career progression and successfully linking what you are currently doing now with the program you want to study. Question should be what are you doing now? What's your job role? Is it related to medical laboratory science??

No, it's not. I work as a procurement agent (remote). Getting a Job in a medical lab with just bsc microbiology was not possible for me as they only accept certified med lab scientists. That's why I want to get the certificate and be able to work as a medical lab scientist in canada

Your study gap is 6 years. Would be very difficult to show career progression and convince the VO that after 6 years you want to go back to medical lab after working as a procurement agent for a while.

The IELTS requirement you see in college ission requirements is mostly for countries whose Official language is not ENGLISH E.g India, Vietnam, China etc..

They recognize Nigeria as an English speaking country.

As an HND holder, you are eligible to apply for a Post Graduate Certificate Program in a College

The person is just talking nonsense,so many people have gone for post graduate certificate programs and were given visa,if the course aligns with your work experience,then go for it
