Dear Bilal
It is possible if the sample size is very small. Likewise if you have a very small correlation like even less than 0.1 can be significant if the sample size very very large.
Hope that helps.

Subject: Large Correlation Coefficients and No Significance
Hi All
Is it possible to have large correlation coefficients (say .62) yet it might
not be flagged as significant at 0.05 or 0.01 level by SPSS..
Wat could be the possible reasons.
