    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Ooopps! ;D My bad :D I think with visa applications in general, it is often stated in websites to not book/buy a ticket as this will not guarantee an approval even if attached in an application. Unless, it was also part of the checklist before submitting the application? I haven't reached...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    So I did my speaking exam yesterday and was surprised that the person who interviewed me wasn't Canadian. :( Although, unlike the interviewer of gimikera, mine expresses her approval whenever I raise a certain point when answering the interview questions. ;D Regarding Sweetnovember's question...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Hey gimikera! Thanks for the tips! :) Too bad we weren't able to meet in person! :( You're right, while they seem polite and smiling all the time, some of them weren't that knowledgeable regarding procedures when I asked them about certain concerns. I would still consider the wealth of...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Hi Mangosix! My suggestion is to ask York first. While they seem to be very strict on the matter, there are programs that said I'm qualified even without an existing masters degree. For example, the people from Sustainable energy/Environmental Science said that I qualify but will undergo the...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Speaking of sponsors, can I include my uncle (mom's bro) to be my sponsor? Or does it further complicate things? My mom has 2 sisters and a brother who are there for 20 years or so already. I'm just thinking maybe having one of them as sponsor can ease the pressure on the financial part? Edit...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Hey humdrumdum! Thanks for the inputs! I did check some colleges in ON and found that Humber and Sheridan have programs that are very related to my background. Humber for example, have Global Business Management; however, a quick search here reveals a lot of bad feed back from the students so...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Thanks for the tip businessgirl2014 :) I'm thinking that taking a business related course or computer graphics will be the natural progression for my education since I'm a small business owner and we usually design the materials that clients need. Either course will improve skills specific to...
