Hi All!

I have submitted my application for Graduate Certificate in Seneca - January 2021 intake last Monday. Anyone else waiting for their Letter of Acceptance? How long does it take before they accept or reject applicants?

Hello. That usually takes 2-4 weeks. Really depends on the school.

Guys, through agency ako mag aapply ng study visa, pero panay sabi ung agent na hindi pa pwede mag apply ngayon, kahit online, kasi by schedule un. Is this bulls*** ??

No choice kasi kami, may kulang kami na requirement, sa agency pwede sila ang tumulong saamin.

I've just started completing my documents for January 2021 intake. Would want to start the process as soon as possible kasi I know there is a long queue. As far as I know, wala naman sinabing hindi pwedeng mag apply. This is what is noted sa CIC:


Due to the impacts of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we can’t
  • process applications normally
  • provide accurate processing times
Until further notice, IRCC offices will not refuse an application for non-compliance. IRCC officers will continue to request additional supporting documents or necessary actions (such as biometrics and medical examinations) as part of the application process and will keep applications open until documents are received or evidence is provided that action has been taken.

Hello guys! Any updates regarding paper application and if open na ba yung IRCC office sa Manila? Yung application ko po is complete na, with biometrics and medical examination. Just waiting for results nalang. Sadly, nag defer nalang muna ako for Winter 2021 term kasi parang malabo talaga maka receive ng feedback before September. Anyone else in the same situation?

HAngga’t may covid at di nagbubukas VAC, imposible pong iprocess nila paper applications po. Online lang po sila lahat ngayon unless for permanent residency.

I hope they'll open na in time to process permits for Winter Term. Yung application ko po is nandon na sa IRCC office. Bale na forward na from VAC. I understand naman na mahirap ang situation ngayon. Naka panghihinayang lang talaga for me and sayang yung time for studies kasi madedelay naman.

Hello po. Ask ko lang sana kung kailangan din mag medical ng spouse and child kung kasama sila sa application ng Student Permit.

If you plan to stay for 6 months or less
You generally don’t need a medical exam, unless you plan to work in certain jobs.
Minor child is exempted.

Hello po. Ask ko lang sana kung kailangan din mag medical ng spouse and child kung kasama sila sa application ng Student Permit.
yes po required if you did not stay recently within 6 months sa mga country na exempted medical like UAE... unless you (OWP) plan to work sa mga job na required ung medical like say healthcare, nurseries... Sa SP, if may balak din to work in this industry then mag upfront ka na.

Sa Pinas ka based, lagi required medical For everyone na isasama mo sa application even minor if staying more than 6 months (which is yes if study permit ang apply mo and dependant mo sila). You can either do it upfront (bago mag apply online) or wait for medical request.

Hi All,

I just received my letter of acceptance from Seneca for a 1-yr PG program and I would like to take another business course after to give me 3 years PGWP. Has anyone tried this? Or does anyone know anyone who did this?

I don't think a 1-year program will be enough to give me time to process my PR. Would be too risky. Maybe I should think about Lambton College instead.
