You’d need A levels not O levels to apply to university typically.I am applying for a foundation year in Computer Science and my grades are as follows . Are they good? Because it seems like your previous grades have an impact on the visa decision.
English O-Level : A*
Arabic O-Level : A
Maths O-Level : A after retake from D
Physics O-Level : B
ICT O-Level : B
Thanks,
I am in Egypt and Universities here accept O-Levels as entry level qualifications and they might ask for AS subjects if its a really good University otherwise its rare that you find a school that teaches A-Level and my school does not. I am also applying for a foundation year not direct entry.You’d need A levels not O levels to apply to university typically.
Most foundation programs and students are to ensure adequate English levels.I am in Egypt and Universities here accept O-Levels as entry level qualifications and they might ask for AS subjects if its a really good University otherwise its rare that you find a school that teaches A-Level and my school does not.

Well this foundation program isn’t. I already got C1 in my English exam. This foundation program is specifically made for people that haven’t completed their A-Level.Most foundation programs and students are to ensure adequate English levels.
The majority of foundation year international students have to attend because of concern about their English or French skills. Your situation is not that common.Well this foundation program isn’t.

Firstly, you’re mistaken regarding the foundation year part. Secondly , I was asking wether my grades are good or not not my eligibility.The majority of foundation year international students have to attend because of concern about their English or French skills. Your situation is not that common.
Impossible to say about grades. Partially depends on your desired degree after the foundation year. You should explain how you went from a D to an A because that is a huge difference in grades. The bigger issue will be why you are applying to study in Canada and concern you will not return home after your studies. Also potentially finances depending on your family’s economic situation.Firstly, you’re mistaken regarding the foundation year part.

The grade difference is because I was 14 when I started my O-Levels, I was very young and couldn’t care less about studying etc but dedicated myself for the next session where I got better grades as stated above.

Can you give me an honest opinion regarding my financial situation? My father works in my home country for more than 7 years now with approx 1k CAD monthly but this number is huge in terms of the local currency and he is currently doing his Phd. His properties are as follows:The grade difference is because I was 14 when I started my O-Levels, I was very young and couldn’t care less about studying etc but dedicated myself for the next session where I got better grades as stated above.

As for why I am studying abroad, I was in a British International school , I speak English better than my native language (C1 CEFR currently) so I wanted to study in an English speaking country. I would say 99% of my class already got admission for the UK but it was out of my parents budget and Canada compared to the UK or Australia is huge in terms of fees. I am also going to study CS and in my country, the best university for CS is ranked 1800th with no hands on experience at all that includes any type of internships etc.
How much cash does he have in the bank? What university do you want to attend? Most international student would be paying over 200k for 4 years of studying and living in Canada. Can’t imagine international school in Egypt would be 600k for locals.Can you give me an honest opinion regarding my financial situation? My father works in my home country for more than 7 years now with approx 1k CAD monthly but this number is huge in terms of the local currency and he is currently doing his Phd. His properties are as follows:
2 apartments
1 Store which brings in monthly income
1 Xcm of land
1 car
The land alone covers my whole tuition for the 5 years + living fees.
First year tuition has been paid for and the required min living expenses are available. Home stay with a guardian also has been paid for a full year.
Also my international school fees over the years were 3x what he will pay for my education in Canada. Would the visa officer find him paying for my education in Canada to be reasonable knowing that he already paid a lot of money for my secondary education?
Reagrds,
He has in his saving account (thats excluding his salary account), my living expenses for the first year, and he has already paid the tuition for the whole year and my homestay. I'm going to ICM, which will allow me to transfer to the University of Manitoba. I know it’s not "guaranteed" that I’ll get into U of M. As for the high fees, isn’t that the case for all international students? Unless you’re coming from the U.S., the fees are likely much much higher than in your home country ; it’s basically common sense that higher-level education comes with higher costs.How much cash does he have in the bank?

I am well aware of the cost of international school having attended one and U of M international student fees are incredibly low compared to the average. That is because UofM is not a highly ranked school in Canada and especially not for CS. There can be a domestic rate at some international schools because the majority of student tuition is not being paid by parents but by government and organizations who can afford to pay for higher tuition. Based on a bit of research likely paid slightly more than U of M tuition per year but without additional living costs you will face in Canada. Bad news is that you are likely going be denied for financial reasons since you can not show how your father will be able to pay for your bachelors degree. Owning land is not cash on hand. His salary will not allow him to save 40k+ a year to pay for subsequent years of study and living costs. Would add that you will not even be able to cover your living costs if you are able to find a job and work 20hrs/week. I would highly suggest you attend a good university in Egypt and aim to do a masters degree in Canada. There is an extremely high chance you will get denied anyway so you likely will not have a choice.He has in his saving account (thats excluding his salary account), my living expenses for the first year, and he has already paid the tuition for the whole year and my homestay.

Why would people from Europe leave free education and that receive monthly financial aid just to pay significantly more to study in Canada? The same applies to international schools and private schools. Secondary education is free in my home country, but good luck trying to learn anything in a classroom designed for 20 students that has over 100, excluding the teacher. The same goes for public universities here, which are funny enough ranked higher than private universities.
Also, after paying $20,000 annually for my secondary education, why would I end up with a degree from a subpar institution with poor teaching and a degree that isn’t useful?
Firstly, I will be getting a 2 year study permit for my foundation year not 4 so I think he will be thinking based on that. When it will come to extending my permit, that’s when I should already have the money ready as promised in the first application.I am well aware of the cost of international school having attended one and U of M international student fees are incredibly low compared to the average.

Promise to get funds from selling land is not typically acceptable proof of funds because the cash is not guaranteed. Your ability to fund your full education will be a consideration. Trying to save your family’s financial future. Selling a family’s assets without other significant savings to spend 5 years studying CS in Manitoba at the undergraduate degree is not a good idea. You could easily get a similar if not much better education in Egypt.Firstly, I will be getting a 2 year study permit for my foundation year not 4 so I think he will be thinking based on that.

My father will sell the land to be able to pay for both my tuition and living expenses which the land will cover both and he can get a letter from the bank saying that an immediate loan for these expenses can be taken out with the land as collateral. What more can I show?
Also , my father sold other assets before to pay for my secondary school tuition, that’s how it works in Egypt , people put their money in an assets because banks are not stable.
Also based on your other comments on other posts and mine you’re extremely negative ,discouraging and tend to seem to be more judgmental than the the visa officer himself. Don’t worry brother , I am not coming to take your job nor take your permits. I’m just coming to study. I’m very well off in my country.
