    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Hello! -Yup, that link from York exists but it depends on the program pa din. Sociology for example strictly enforces it. They were nice though since they still confirmed with the admission before confirming with me. The Environment program naman checked my credentials and said that while I do...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Hey tipsy! Thank you for the clarifications! Yeah, U of T was also a bit strict on that part. Maybe you can also try York University. I emailed the department and while it's true that applicants from pinas need to have a masters, there are instances that they can let you apply via non-standard...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Hey tipsy, From what I read before and from my conversation with international departments of schools (Ryerson, Humber, Sheridan), you're visa's validity cannot go beyond that of your passport's. So you might also have to renew your permit when that day comes. Some students were even required...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Hey tipsy! Thank you for your prompt response. I cannot find in Ryerson's website the same link similar to York's which details country specific requirements. I also had a face to face conversation with one of the program directors of Ryerson last August and she knew that I only have a...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Hey tipsy, just to clear things out, you applied also at Ryerson and they denied you? Or were you referring to the University you mentioned? :( I think it's also a case to case basis since I talked to the guys at York University when I was considering a Masters in Environmental Studies and...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Have a safe trip hopefulgirl! :) For those considering to take masters in Ryerson, let me just share how the process is based on my experience. It's a two-step process. First, is to register online, fill up the form and then pay the application fee. Have scans of your transcript and make sure...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    In that case, you can even apply from here :) While we were in the US, my relatives from Canada called me and said why not visit them since it's just a bus ride away anyway. Usually, from what I've heard, Canada visas are issues only from your country of origin. But since makulit kami, we...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Yup, this is indeed a good reminder for us hopefuls :D As what the guy from the Canadian embassy told us during an open forum, we treat each applicant on a case to case basis :) That's why in my case, my program of choice is based on the opportunities it'll create once I graduate and go back...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Hello again friends! ;D I just submitted my application letter to a college in Toronto last night as back-up. Can you guys share any ideas on how long before they email me for confirmation of receipt of my payment and application? I applied and paid online so I thought I'd be getting one...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Thank you for the reply DocRZ. I have the same sentiments about this requirement but unfortunately, it is specified that it must be from my previous professors. :( I'm just lucky that almost all my professors still remember me despite being almost a decade out of school. I guess my unique...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Hello blessedmom! Travel history is factor but not necessarily a main determinant of the success of your application. I think it's a combination of factors and it'll still depend on the ties you have in the Philippines that'll assure the VO that your intention is genuine. For examply, my uncle...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    So I got word from some of my best professors that they cannot give me a recommendation letter because their advice is that it has to come from my thesis advisers. The professors I asked were the ones that I had great relationship and at the same time did their PHD in one of the top 10 Unis of...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Thanks blessed mom! What I did was just had a good night's sleep before the test. Never really had ample time to review since we juggle work, the baby and other stuffs on a daily basis. I think there is a mock exam if you'll be taking your IELTS under British Council - that part I only knew...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Hello friends and new members! :D I have good news and bad news regarding my IELTS... First, the bad news... I only got 6.5 in the writing part. I personally attribute this to the fact that I have very very bad hand writing. I also mentioned before that it was my first time to write with pen...
