I am going for a 2 year diploma in software development in Calgary, which starts in January. I have recently graduated from school with a 2 year diploma in Web Development/Multimedia, and my goal is to pursue a bachelors in computer science or related software engineering degree. I can't get...

If you choose to go for SDS, you already know it requires that you get a CAD $10k GIC in addition to paying your first year's tuition. If OTOH, opt for a paper based application (via VFS Rabat), you don't need neither of GIC nor tuition payment, you also don't need an upfront medical. But the...

Yes, you may use GIC to support your non-SDS application, as long as you are from the previously mentioned countries, since the banks providing this service restrict it to those countries. You can get a GIC done, pay the first year's tuition and may still show other financial documents as proof...

You've got a lot of time for your application then. You may choose to send a paper-based application if you want, which wouldn't require GIC or first year tuition being paid (depends on the university policies). For medical examination it has to be done with an IRCC approved panel physician...

Cool. If you're going for January intake as there is little time left, you should schedule a medical appointment ASAP. I had to wait about a month before I had mine scheduled.

No problem. GIC can be done in 7-14 working days, and ICICI is our only option so far I think. Which intake are you going for? Also Quebec or the other provinces?

Just the first year. Make sure your review the SDS requirements and overview before you consider applying - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/student-direct-stream.html

It's a requirement for applying under the SDS category. Morocco students, since September 9th, can now opt for SDS for faster processing. Similar thread: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/guaranteed-investment-certificate-from-morocco-for-sds.657361

No problem. Happy to help. You're going to need to send at least $10,175 CAD. You need to talk to the bank manager, skip the clerks and staff. Banks do offer foreign currency exchange services. The money has to come from an account with your name, so they'll likely reject any funds sent from...

Hi, I recently got my GIC done with ICICI bank, from Morocco, here is my timeline: - Sept 16: visited my local bank branch, and made a wire transfer request with the branch manager. - Sept 20: the transfer was initiated and the funds got debited from my balance. - Oct 2: I got the notification...

That's what I thought. I guess you're required to do biometrics as part of an application package.. No biggie then, just checking my options. Thanks very much! =)

Morocco. SDS was recently introduced here - yay!

Not yet - I'll do so 1 week after my upfront medical is done.

I have my upfront medical appointment next week and I was wondering if while I am there, can I undergo the biometrics process in the VFS in advance or should I wait for the biometrics instructions letter? I will be applying under SDS.

It's worth a try if you have the time, chances are it could work when you apply for EOR on writing or speaking categories, and especially you're looking to improve your scores by half a band. You should read some past experiences here...

Don't freak out, you may now apply under SDS which grants faster processing (20-45 days), hopefully you're going for January intake. I would frequently phone them and send email inquiries if I were you.

Thanks. I've initiated the funds transfer with ICICI bank, which seems to be the only option for Morocco.

Anybody familiar with ICICI bank? I am trying to wire them the money, but I recently got a notification saying I have some discrepancy in my application, which I can't see for some UI is disabled. Do you know when they reject the transfer, do they get to keep that $150 processing fee? I have a...

Does anybody know how long it took for Scotiabank to include Pakistan in their GIC-enabled countries? it seems that my country was recently listed under the SDS program, and I wish to get a GIC soon from either of CIBC or Scotiabank.
