@ scylla Do you happen to know exactly how much do international students pay for taxes on their income from a part-time job ?

It is kinda hard to combine both studies and work but as there many people doing it, I would say it is possible. However, if you have little to no experience, you'll only be getting the minimum wage, and being a student you won't be able to work more than 20 hours per week. Thus, the money...

Looks from your profile that you applied for your study permit in Islamabad. According to CIC, the processing time for study permit applications in Islamabad is approximately 15 weeks. In your case, it's only been 12 weeks, I would say wait another 3 weeks and if you didn't hear from them, give...

Obviously, this was the reason for your visa refusal. Why do you think they ask for your bank statements for the past four months ? They do that to make sure that the amount needed has been in your account for at least four months which means it is yours and not just borrowed for the purpose of...

According to CIC: You can prove that you have sufficient funds to support yourself in Canada by showing some of the following: - proof of a Canadian bank account in your name if money has been transferred to Canada; - proof of a student/education loan from a financial institution; -...

Any other suggestions guys ? Thanks

Congratulations brother, you're lucky indeed that your arrival will coincide with the new regulations :) This way, you will be able to work and support yourself from day one. So, when will your studies begin ? and when are you planning to land ? and what city ?

IEC isn't available for US citizens, work permits under IEC are only available to people who are from the countries on this list: http://www.international.gc.ca/experience/intro_incoming-intro_entrant.aspx?lang=eng @allie1988, are you a US citizen or a permanent resident or what ?

Canada isn't the only place where you will be able to have a bright future, in fact you can have even a brighter future in other countries or in your home country. Your life is what you make of it, if you are not able to come to Canada, that's not the end of the world, try other places or at...

What is WRONG exactly ? Explain !

Not really usman_14pk, that is a list of the participating institutions, meaning institutions whose international students are eligible to get a work permit which will allow them to work off-campus. With the new regulations that will take effect as of June 1, we will be talking about designated...

It depends on whether your educational institution will be a designated one or not which you won't be able to know until CIC publish a list for designated schools in the coming months. If your educational institution is a designated one: No problem then, you will be able to work off-campus...

Also, for people who are wondering what are the designated institutions According to CIC: Education is the responsibility of the provinces and territories. The educational institutions that will be designated will be determined by provincial and territorial governments in coming months.

Alright guys, it is official now. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2014-02-12.asp?utm_source=bitly-eng&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=generic

I would say that her profile is outstanding. The only problem for her would be how to convince the visa officer that she will be going back to her home country especially that she already has a sister (you) who is settled and working in Canada. The visa officer may reject her study permit for...

@on-hold I don't know how he will be able to claim that he didn't know the consequences of plagiarism especially that the university of Regina has a whole paragraph about this on their website for international students, I mean it is right there, in the exact page from where you're supposed to...

Come on brothers, easy on this poor guy. The problem is, a lot of schools especially in 3rd world countries do not consider plagiarism as an offense. I had a friend from Tunisia who told me that back in university in his country, he used to do a lot of his papers and assignments with the aid of...

That is not possible actually, you won't be able to register for courses until you're physically present at the university, usually registering for courses starts in the last week of August. So even if you arrive in June, you're not officially a full-time student until you register and get your...

Thank you guys both for your advice. I will try to do what you suggested.

It means that to date, you're not eligible for off-campus work permit unless you've been studying for 6 months in a participating institution as a full-time student.
