    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    I'm thinking that isn't possible kasi 'yung purpose of application in the first place is one of you is gonna study, and you're merely applying for OWP for your husband/wife and a TRV for your kids, too, so you can bring them with you, and don't have to be away from them in the duration of your...

    Yes. What that means is you can actually enter Canada on or before August 31st, 2021. Absolutely anytime between now and August 31st, 2021.

    Hi Everyone, i see some of you asking about consultants. The one I booked for a 1-hour appointment was Glecerio Abayon, a licensed immigration lawyer/consultant based in Calgary, AB, but also has an office in QC. You probably have seen his name in some other forums about Canada. He was good in...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    To be honest, I was just as anxious as you when I was waiting for the results to come out; I lodged my application online June 27th (upfront medical date: June 24th), and had my biometrics done July 2nd. But, I did not get any updates until July 17th. If it hasn’t been 20 days from the time you...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Oh awesome. I'll be living in the W. Edmonton area. I figured it would be better to rent outside the university as that would be 50% cheaper. After all, school is just for 3 days a week, so I don't really need to live in-campus (too expensive for me at 850-1200 CAD a month? Hell, no). But I made...

    aww, yes, definitely a challenge. But 8 months will hopefully go swiftly, and you'll be reunited with them and your husband in no time. :)

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Aww, thanks so much! So kind of you! I may need to take you up on that offer soon. So far, I've gotten most major things out of the way such as getting a place to stay, registering for orientation, sending a photo for my ID (LOL), even Googling distance from my place to the university by bus...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Just a little puzzled. Kasi 'yung kasama ko po, pareho kami ng program. 'Yung sa akin ang binigay is for 2 years kasi for 2 years 'yung program. 'Yung sa kanya, up to 2020 lang po. so valid only for 1 year. ang sabi sa kanya ng consultant, pag ganun daw kelangan na lang niya mag-renew ulit next...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Here in the Philippines there are variations to the timeframe. However the IRCC site says they process for 20 days beginning the day you give them your biometrics. In my case, however, I received the approval 16 days from the day I had my biometrics done

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Perhaps regular stream po 'yung sa inyo. Otherwise, the agency would introduce you to the term SDS if they took the SDS route to process your application. Sa SDS po some of the main requirements are proof of payment of first full year's tuition, guaranteed investment certificate (GIC) amounting...

    Pag po upfront medical, I suggest you first call the accredited physician/clinic/hospital to set an appointment. That’s what i did when I prepared to have my upfront medical done at IOM in Trafalgar Bldg. As for the diploma course or advanced certificate, ang ibig sabihin niyo po ba ng PR...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Study direct stream po ba ‘yung path niyo? Kung SDS po it only takes 20 days, and it seems that they stay in integrity with that timeframe most of the time; sometimes they even underpromise and overdeliver. That’s if they don’t need any addition documents from you. Kung regular stream naman po...
