    Continuation... If I may add, you might also want to share in the third paragraph any subject/course under the program that got your interest when you were going over different schools' brochures. Say how that particular subject/course will help enrich your knowledge and experience, and make...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Hi everyone, Thought I might share with you a few things that I got from the consultant that I met with, along with my own research prior to lodging my application. I have been told that the statement of purpose really does make a lot of difference, meaning it really can make or break the...

    Wow. Di ko naisip na i-check 'yung CIBC nung nag-apply ako for a GIC. Totoo nga, 'yung 200 CAD na service fee, ang steep din talaga. I went with Scotiabank also because it seemed to be everyone else's go-to bank for their GICs. I wish I did my research in that area.

    There shouldn’t be any difference between IDP and British Council kasi calibrated naman sila when it comes to scoring the exams for listening, reading, writing and speaking. So kahit anong mapili mo dapat walang kaso. Wala ring mas mahirap o mas madali. But I’ve been reading speculations from...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    If you don’t wanna research anymore, and just want someone to guide you through the entire process, I guess hiring an agency is a good idea, and it might be worth it. But if you’re willing to do the dirty work (do it yourself), everything you need to know such as the requirements to apply (on...

    Oo nga tama ka, it wouldn’t be practical for you guys pala. Too much of a hassle. Better to do a direct flight, especially ‘coz you have a kid in tow nga pala. May God bless your family’s journey!

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    I have noticed (but I’m no immigration expert) though that the longer you stay in a foreign country, the more they speculate probability of the traveler not having enough compelling reason/s (strong family ties, a job, etc.) to go back or stay in his/her home country. The States and Canada are...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    That should be okay since from what I read in the IRCC’s questionnaire that determined the type of application (regular vs SDS) that I should submit, one question went (not verbatim, but something like this), “Do you have proof of medical exam in the last year?” Or “Have you had a medical exam...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Yes that’s what most usually do. They book a hotel or airbnb for a couple days. Then they seek the assistance of the school to help them look for housing. Meron naman po usually committee sa uni/college that assists international students when it comes to transitioning into their lives in Canada.

    Hindi pa rin ako nakakabili ng ticket, haha. The ticket I was eyeing sobrang mahal na, lampas 1K usd . If you’re planning to fly and then sunod sila after two weeks, sa pagkakaalam ko, according to the consultant i asked, oks lang daw yun. Ang hindi puede is if yung dependents ang mauuna. Hay...

    One-way lang since makakapag-present ka naman ng documents that you're gonna study for the duration that you're in Canada. Also, hindi rin kasi tayo makakapag-book that far out ng return flight.
