Yes ang visa binibigay ng visa offier sa country kung nasan ka (generally) at yung spermit binibigay ng immigration officer sa port-of-entry.
Sorry, @kapatid. Nalito ako. Yung sa VISA stamp kasi nakasulat "Student VISA". Iba pa yung Student Permit? Also yung sa work permit?

Thanks. Sorry, makulet.

Yes magkakaiba yun.
Iba ang visa sa permit. At iba rin yung student permit sa work permit.

Student visa

Question po.

Nabigyan ako ng student visa sa old passport ko. yung student visa mag exxpire ng March 2018, hindi ko nagamit kasi late dumating yung approval. Nakahanap ako ng ibang school na may January intake pero sabi nila sa akin need ko daw mag apply ng panibago na visa? hindi ba pwede iextend ko nalang yung visa na hawak ko na pag land ko sa Canada? kasi alam ko pwede ko naman palitan yung DLI online.

Good day! I have been following this forum for a long time. This forum is really a big help for those who are interested in coming to Canada.
I got a refusal letter today for Student Permit.
All requirements are documented. But still I got a refusal. 1. Financial Status 2.Employment Status
Can anyone tell me what to do next, please?
Thank you and God bless!
Reapply dear. In terms to financial status, I think you really need money to cover your tuition for the whole program and your cost of living in Canada. Or better yet, you need to seek advise sa agency, medyo pricey lang. Well goodluck! Don't give up. Nareject din ako once anyway. :)

Hello po sa inyong lahat. may aask lang po sana ako regarding sa pag process ng FBI clearane certificate kasi nag stay ako sa US for a year. Dinownload ko po ung form then may ilang questions po ako.


1st, under,Applicant Home Address, ilalagay ko po ba yung address ko nung nasa US ako or yung andito po sa Pilipinas na po?

2nd, under mail results to address, what should i write in C/O and ATTN? (this is gonna be my first time to write a letter to someone so i have no idea how to do it.).
Also, ok lang po ba na ilagay ang address ko dito sa Pilipinas po or kailangan mag ask pa po ako ng kaibigan mula sa US then ipadeliver ko sa address niya dun?

3th, for the payment method, pwede po ba gamitin debit card? kasi mayron lang eh credit card so hindi ko po sure if pwede yun....

4th, sa labas ng letter po bali isusulat ko lang eh address lang ng sesendan ko d ba po? or mayron pa po ako ilalagay?


Pasensya po talaga sa maraming tanong po. Hope someone can help me so I can send it right away. Thank you so much in advance.
Ung bdo debit card pwde kaya

Hello, hello!

Finally, I received my approval nung June 29.. Thank God! Second application ko na to, I applied on 23-May, online. It took 37days processing. In-process na ang visa stamping ko ngayon. I quoted my post about sa refusal ko nung first app and I would like to share how I explained para makatulong sa mga mag-apply p lang.

Quick background: I'm currently working in SG (approx 6 years) and worked previously in Dubai (approx 3 years), so almost 10years na ko OFW. I'm married, no kids yet, may business si mister sa pinas so dun sya naka-based. I have a degree in chemistry but I'm taking up a diploma course in applied chemistry sa SAIT Calgary, Alberta. Continuous employment history, all related to chemistry. Enough funds to cover 1 yr tuition and 1 year expenses.

I tackled my refusals one by one. As in itemized and bullet format para di tamarin ang VO magbasa.

1. Travel history

- We prioritize to invest our money (my salary included) sa business ni mister.
- My work doesn't allow me to take long break. Usually, my leave is spent sa pinas with my family
- Patronize local tourism. Madaming magandang lugar sa pinas, dun kami madalas mag-tour with the family
- We believe in delayed gratification. Ipon muna, bago mag-travel ng bongga. Char! :)

2. Immigration status in country of residence :

- I don't intend to stay in SG for a long time. Uuwi din ako sa pinas eventually kaya di pa ako PR.
- I also highlighted that I am a legal resident in singapore with valid work visa with no criminal record (although, sinabi ko rin to sa first app ko)

3. Family ties

- I applied alone for my second application. Ngayong approve na ko, apply ko naman husband ko.

4. Purpose of visit


- I justified that this course will help me in my career progression.
- Gumawa ako ng table with course comparison across Asia, SG, Australia & Canada. I included factors like course duration, cost, relevance sa career goals, etc. Ang conclusion ng table, SAIT is the best option for me because of all these factors combined. Para mukhang nag-isip talaga ako. haha!
- I highlighted details ng diploma course such as "paid co-op work", high-tech instruments, small size class, accreditation nila sa gov't agencies in Canada and reasonable course duration (2 years). Kaya its worth spending money sa course na ito.

5. Employment prospects in country of residence

- I submitted letters of recommendation from my previous bosses (in SG and Dubai) saying na interested sila to discuss future career opportunities after my study. Just a simple letter signed by them in the company letterhead. Scanned copy lang, not notarized whatsoever. Note lang, I also included this in my first application. Sinama ko lang ulit sa second app.
- I searched for some job opportunities in pinas. In my case, science field kasi ako, so sinabi ko yung Balik Scientist program ng DOST. You can find one that suits you. Show some patriotism here. :)


Additional points:

- Read, listen, watch... Dito sa forum or sa mga immigration podcast or videos. You can check this website for podcast and useful articles. http://www.canadianimmigrationpodcast.com/

- If na-reject ka, get CAIPS immediately! Dun mo tlaga makikita kung ano ang reason why you got a refusal. You can deal with the factors accordingly. If you haven't applied yet, APPLY EARLY! Para may time mag-request ng CAIPS. It usually take a month to receive. Time can be your best friend or your worst enemy.

- Iba iba ang timpla ng mga VO sa bawat country, so you have to know what factors weigh the most for them. Sadly, this is based on experience kasi hindi naman to nakasulat sa cic website. You still need to comply to the basic info needed in SOP. In our case dito sa SG, travel history and ties sa home country (kasi nga OFW) ang nakikita naming important so far.

- Remember to emphasize that you understand what it entails to be a temporary resident in Canada such as you will follow the conditions and respect the boundaries of your permit, you will not be a burden or risk in Canada and most important, you will leave Canada at the end of your authorized visit; will not overstay or break any immigration law. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

- Find applicants from same country of residence and if possible, create your own small group. We have that here in SG. Bukod dito s forum at sa FB page, those people helped a lot para ma-approve ang application ko. We share ideas na applicable sa SG applicants, compare and criticize SOP, learn do's and don't, meet up and gimik din pag minsan. Hehe! More brains, better!


Four applicants in a row na ang na-approve dito sa SG since last month. Sana tuloy tuloy na para sa ibang applicants! Nahuli na ata namin ang kiliti ng SG VO. Hehe!

Sa mga taga-SAIT or Calgary area, kaway kaway! Sana makapag-meet up tayo pag anjan na!

Sorry for the long post. Sana makatulong sa inyo! God bless everyone! Happy Canada Day! :)

"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, nothing is impossible for you"

Finally the long wait is over!
I am a silent reader dito at binasa ko talaga tong forum na to mula page 1 up to now! Seryoso ako! Hindi na need ng agency andito na lahat ng sagot. Maging matiyaga lang hehe!
Salamat din po kay kapatid sa pag tingin ng SOP ko at sa pagsabi na 85% sure makakapasa ako. Hehe!

Here's my timeline:

Profile:
*2 yrs course in Okanagan College pero different course somehow related sa course mo. I am a registered nurse here in PH. And therapy assistang ang kukunin ko.
* hindi rin ako nagpasa ng itr,sss,bank statement-pero mas ok magpasa kayo pang strong ng ties
* andito sa pinas lahat ng family ko at wala kaming business permit na pinasa. Solely family lang talaga ties ko
*cousin ko ang nag support sa akin sa accomodation ko and nagpasa kami affidavit,tenancy agreement and id's

PIECE OF ADVICE:
Make your SOP strong and convincing. Declare everything. Lahat ng works activities niyo. Feeling ko sa SOP lang tlga sila tumitingin not sure of it. Make sure na ilalagay niyo na uuwi kayo after finishing your studies. Isipin niyo si Lord kausap niyo sa pag gawa ng SOP niyo. Isipin niyo you are praying for that one thing and gusto niyo makuha.

Goodluck to all aspiring students and Godbless. Always keep the faith.
thank you very much sir and god bless

Guidelines lang yan at ang kada bansa may format ng certified true copy
Sa pinas ang gumagawa niyan mga notary public
They wont refuse your application kasi hindi eksaktong ganyan ang documents mo na may CTC.
if un po mag notary public dto sa pnas Alan po ba nila and CIC reqt
