Dear Canadavisa forum, I recently submitted a PR application for my spouse two days ago who has been here for a year so far on a student visa. My spouse had previously been refused visa in Canada on multiple occasions for purpose (she had mentioned me on visitor/study applications) and for...

My girlfriend was admitted to Canada on a 2-year study permit for a diploma program with an ESL component last April. She is completing her ESL component in March as she has been accepted to a degree program in the fall (she is upgrading). I will be sponsoring her for PR and an OWP at the...

I think you're allowed to work on campus in addition to the 20 hours off campus. I saw this information on the CIC website.

Exact same situation with my spouse (ESL gap while waiting for degree start). Did you get any information on what to do?

Hi everyone, My girlfriend is on a study permit permit that expires next year for a combination ESL + Diploma program. She will finish her ESL requirements in March but will not begin her degree until September. Will she lose her status during this gap? Any advice much appreciated. Thank you...

GBC is notoriously slow/unresponsive with their international dept. Should try calling them.

It is just a standard passport request letter. Sorry, I will not share personal information. Does anyone know how long it will take to affix the visa to the passport? Days, weeks?

Hello, I received a passport request for my study visa, yay :), and I will bring it to the VAC in Bangkok tomorrow. But since my course starts in only 1.5 weeks, I was wondering how long it will take for them to attach the visa and return my passport to me? Can I ask for it to be rushed...

1. Why would he pay $40 when he can do it through his relative for $5?. Because it's easier?

Hey there, Calgary universities not very hard to get into (vs. Toronto). Honestly, your grades are good, but you need to choose a school that most values your English and Philosophy scores most. Think British, small. I would choose Bishop's University in Quebec, which has an excellent...

I would use http://www.caips.ca/ They are excellent. Trish will email you personally to help you and the rate is low. They were very kind and helpful for me.

Sure, it is fine to show a home-based business but your main obstacle will be showing that it is a legitimate business if it is not registered. If I were you, I would seek to get it registered as soon as possible (it should be an easy process). Second, I would then print off any proof of...

Yes, you need to notify CIC after you cease studies (I think 60 or 90 days after?).

If you are in the middle of the program it will be difficult for you. They will wonder why you are coming in the middle of the program. My advice is to finish the PhD and then apply for a work permit, because they want highly skilled applicants.

Just needs to be a standard letter with 1-2 paragraphs, along the lines of "I hereby confirm that I will provide financial support for XXX for his/her studies in XXX" and then outline what his job is, his salary, how much your program costs and how much money he will be giving you. You need at...

The system is very glitchy. That happens often where there is no update. Just need to check it periodically.

I agree with OCAD. They are best known for it.

Centennial is okay. For your program it should be fine. They are partner schools with University of Toronto I think. George Brown and Durham College are probably the best in the Greater Toronto Area. But George Brown isn't very good for business (some bad history in the news I remember). I have...

I see...okay, that makes sense. Will wait until she gets the request. Thanks!

Is it possible to bring the paper medical exam result to the interview? My girlfriend is running out of time and we're wondering if this would help?
