Hi guys! Do you think Seneca College or Centennial College still have remaining slots for May 2019 intake? Thank you.
Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

- Start date
You should check their website. They would always update the status. May session usually has fewer programs.
Congrats BroAge: 47
Application: SDS paper based (no agent) at VFS Manila
SP Application date: 26 September 2018
SP Approval date: 31 October 2018
DLI: Durham College (Oshawa campus)
Timeline:
2017 Sept - Applied directly at Durham College for 2018 Sept intake
2017 Nov - IELTS exam
2017 Dec - IELTS result (overall 7.5: L 8, R 6.5, W 7, S 7.5)
2018 March- Submitted my transcripts to Durham College
2018 June - Received unconditional LOA from DC
2018 July - Paid 1 year fee at Durham College
- Requested DC to defer me to January 2019 intake because I was not confident I would get my SP approved in time.
- Did upfront medical. Required additional sputum test due to slightly hazy xray result.
2018 Aug - Transferred CAD$10,200 to Scotia bank. Got my letter of instruction 3 working days later.
2018 Sept - Applied for SP at VFS Manila on 26 Sept. Sputum test result negative.
2018 Oct - Did follow up xray on 1 Oct. Following day, 2 Oct, GCKey update that medical passed
- Linked my paper application to my GCKey on 28 Sept
Documents submitted:
- Review of eligibility started on 30 Oct
- SP Approved on 31 October
What I learned based from my experience:
- Unconditional LOA from Durham College and conditional LOA from UOIT (DC program transfers to UOIT upon successful completion)
- 1 year fee receipt
- GIC letter of instruction
- Upfront medical form from IOM Manila
- IELTS result
- College and High School transcripts
- COE from previous works as well as all my ITRs since I started working
- IT certifications (C|EH and ITIL v3 Foundation) and certificate of attendance in various IT seminars
- Property documents (I have two properties)
- Letter from my brother-in-law that he will provide me with room and board, together with his valid ID
- Business registration from SEC (I have a tech startup which was duly registered with Philippines SEC as limited partnership)
- Marriage certificate
- NBI clearance
- SOP
- All required forms as per checklist
- SP processing time is unpredictable. I got mine after 35 calendar days. But I have a friend who applied non-SDS on 17 Oct and got his approval on 25 Oct.
- SOP key points:
- My background: Took up Aeronautical Engineering in college but work experience for the past 22 years are solid IT (from systems and network administration to software/application development and project management)
- Objective: What I plan to achieve. Why I want to study in Canada
- Why Canada: Less expensive than other countries such as AU, NZ or USA. Great peace and order situation. Multicultural.
- Why Durham College and UOIT: I only applied at DC and UOIT so i was able to highlight their qualities.
- Career progression: How my intended program will help in my future career growth in my home country
- Declaration: that I will abide by all the conditions, rules and regulation of the SP should I be approved. That I intend to finish my program the soonest possible time and go back to my home country. That, should my SP be revoked by IRCC, I will leave Canada immediately.
- No agent/consultant. Everything I need I read from the IRCC/CIC website and Scotia bank website. Anything that is unclear to me, I asked from the forum. There are a lot of veterans here who goes out of their way to answer queries (hats off to all of you guys!)
- Make sure you have the complete documents upon submission. Utilize the checklist.
- For SDS applicants, it doesn't hurt to submit additional financial documents/proofs
- Plan accordingly, do not rush things. Very important to strategize properly. There is plenty of time. If I am able to do it at my age, how much more can younger applicants?
- Finally, YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL!

Hi,
Taga PATTS kayo sir? anong batch nyo? taga PATTS din ako, batch 2002. Wala kayong balak mag PR sa canada?
thanks
yes boss, batch 94. kami yung 1st batch ng 5-years na aero sa lumang campus pa. pumunta ako nung last alumni homecoming
Hi good day po, regarding pof, my sponsors will be showing 7k cad each sa bank account then meron din po laman ang account ko na 22kcad. Is it enough na po? Mostly, my relatives will be paying naman for my studies, tution skanila naman, allowance pwede sakin pwede din nla ako bigyan. Accomodation stay ako sakanila. the reason bkt konti lng laman ng account nla is in and out ang pera nla
Boss, I think yung 22kcad mo is more than enough. If tuition will be paid by your relatives, yung receipt lang naman papakita mo. Then a letter from your relative na bibigyan ka ng free accomodation.
Yung sakin, bayaw ko nagbayad nung tuition. Tapos may letter sya na dun ako titira sa kanya. 10k na gic sa scotia. Receipt, letter of support at gic lang pinakita ko na funds at naaprubahan naman ako
Hth

Nagwoworry kasi ako sir, diba sa cic dapat 10k cad and living expenses, eh since may sponsor ako in total 14k ang both accounts nila. 7kcad each. I dont have gic kasi sir, since sponsor naman magbbgay sakin ng allowance and all. Ung 22k cad ko sa account is parang back up money ko lang pagdating ko doon. Ung tuition ko will be paid pagdating ko na doon.
To be safe boss, pay at least a semester's fee. Yung gic is only required if you will apply thru sds. If not, no need na po ng gic. Bank account mo na lang. Yung sponsor mo boss kahit di na magpakita ng bank accounts nila, letter na lang na mag provide sila sayo ng accomodation gaya nung sakin. Malaki na yung 22kcad boss
Ang kailangan lang naman ng VO ay yung makita nila na may sustenance ka for at least 1 year
