    Laurentian University's Financial Troubles - Files for Insolvency/Creditor Protection

    Didn't see a thread here about Laurentian University's financial troubles so I thought I'd post one. I think it's important for international students to read these articles for 2 reasons: For any international student currently enrolled or plans to enroll in the future at this university - for...

    Study Permit for Indian students

    When was the last time they actually interviewed someone for a study permit? To my knowledge, if they have any doubt about your application they just opt for the easier route - outright rejection.

    Deferred course and received PPR

    Regardless of your intention, it's factually wrong information. There's no "bandwagon" here. I'm not telling anyone that they should delay in applying for an extension to their TRV - but OP's situation has nothing to do with an extension. "Visa validity should somewhat match with the study...

    How to support studies in Canada financially

    One can cover most expenses via working Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Skip the Dishes. That's what most international students do these days. You're right about on-campus jobs though - extremely competitive.

    Pcr test location- Help Please

    https://www.newdelhiairport.in/covid19-rtpcr-test-appointment-booking You can book it directly at the airport at departure. Takes 4-6 hours only. Obviously you'll have to arrive at the airport a lot earlier - that's the only negative.

    Application for conestoga Its pending, HELPPP !!

    LMAO. People here said the same thing when I asked about the chances to get into any Canadian DLI college with a really low score. Everyone said there was no chance. Guess what? LOA was received a couple of days ago and the academic profile is far worse than OP's. The program is also technical...

    Deferred course and received PPR

    What? Stop spreading misinformation because that is simply not true. A TRV only determines your eligibility to enter Canada as a foreigner. If you're on a study or work permit then it's the permit that determines the duration of your stay. You can stay as long as permit is valid even if your...

    Student Visa Short Course Help!

    My suggestion: - Call NAIT's international admissions (keyword being call, not email) and politely ask if the pre-reqs can be waived off this time because of the circumstances. If that doesn't work then find the registrar's number and call them. Yes it might actually work. Entrance requirements...

    Can I receive money from my relatives in Canada?

    You can receive money from whoever. The only restrictions placed on the study permit is the number of hours you can work. That's it. Unless you're receiving really big amounts on the regular - like the equivalent of a full time job - no one will ask you for its source. I'll never understand why...

    Caribbean students affected by the new travel restriction gather here!

    If your college or university is close to the land border you can also choose the cheaper option of flying to a nearby USA airport and crossing the land border. The new hotel quarantine does not apply to those using the land border to cross...

    New Travel Restrictions - does it apply to students?

    They are going to heavily pad their numbers by granting work permits and PRs to Hong Kong nationals. https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/hong-kong-residents-will-soon-have-a-new-path-to-permanent-residence-in-canada-1.5295565 Basically every HK national with a Canadian post-secondary diploma or...

    New Travel Restrictions - does it apply to students?

    No. This only stops those who live in cities that are far away from the US-Canada land border. Most people here aren't getting the real reason behind this - it's not to combat COVID, it's to prop-up the hotel industry. If it was to combat the virus then they would have applied the same rules to...

    Working on a student visa

    1. If the institution is on the DLI list then you can work off campus. Fairly simple - what's vague about it? 2. Has to a minimum of 8 months to count, has to a PGWP-eligible DLI institution as well.
