As the project I am supposed to work on was going to start this September but my PhD studies wil start in Jan 2013, I had asked my prof if I could come to Canada to assist him in the research work early. He has specifically told me that I'd be requiring a work permit for that duration. I am not...
A friend of mine in McGill applied without IELTS but He had given TOEFL iBT and still he got the visa. For university students, there's not much problem it seems. But then, you never know how the VO takes it. So I gave IELTS still :)
Ask university to generate a receipt and scan it and mail it to you. They can do it the same day. Visa check list specifically says "University Receipt" I attached the scanned receipt with my application.
Make a copy and keep it to yourself. Get a colour scan if you are very much interested. Attach the original. Thats what the DMP told me and thats what I did.
If you make 2 or more than 2 stops to EU, you need Schengen visa. For one stop no transit/Schengen visa is required. BA through London is the most economical flight. Lufthansa and Swiss Air are better in terms of comfort. Ask for students discount from agents. Its usually just 500 INR (as...
Its pretty sad to see people copying SOPs randomly. No wonder rejections from universities/visa offices are high. Many good universities/institutions employ plagiarism checkers like http://turnitin.com/ etc. There's no harm seeking advice and reviews but beware of blind copying.
I hope this is the proper place to post this query. In any case,
I have a 4-year study visa (till 2017) and will be flying to Canada this Jan for my PhD studies. I want to know what is the procedure to get a PR, how beneficial is it and when is a good time to apply. I am not looking to settle...
I don't think you have to fill it. If you read it carefully, it says that "DO NOT COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING SECTION NOW. YOU MAY BE ASKED TO SIGN IN THE PRESENCE OF A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT OR AN OFFICIAL APPOINTED BY THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT"
No one asked me so I didn't fill it...
Guide says LOR in original form. My university sent me 2 original LORs just for his reason. I don't know about others. Maybe you can wait for reply from others guys.
Fill Schedule 1 form (Its TRV I think) No need to write in native language. English is fine. All photocopies only, except LOR. Photocopies should be attested by notary, though a couple of my friends got visa without attestation. No need to get fee receipts attested.
Depends on course duration. Usually Masters students mention complete 2 years of funds(a friend of mine who got visa did this) whereas Bachelor guys mention 1 year (as their course is 3+ years) I mentioned 1 year only as my course is 4 years+
In the column "funds availabe for my stay,will be...
IMO, the reasons for such refusals are mainly a combination of a few factors. For eg. 1 year college course (not related to previous course) + only liquid assets as substantial proof of funds. Your best bet is to get a loan which shows that you have financial credibility and funds are sure to...
Funniest question on forum :) but on a serious note, they don't check. If you read the checklist given by doctor, no inspection of private parts is mentioned. Whereas there is a series of questions about alcoholism, tobacco habits and neurological/psychological medical history. Thats funny though!
