    Transcripts acceptable as degree certificates?

    If the transcript states that the degree has been awarded then it's fine (I am 100% sure).

    What proof of funds can students show at the Canadian border?

    Sorry about that - of course we are only here to help each other :) and I highly appreciate it. Anyhow, I believe that the same POF used to get the visa can be used at the border as stated here [1]. Thank you for your time and participation. [1]...

    What proof of funds can students show at the Canadian border?

    I don't think it is a risk. Can you please cite a source which claims such bank statement is not permissible? Thanks

    What proof of funds can students show at the Canadian border?

    I believe my father's bank statement should work since I can withdraw money from his foreign bank account in any ATM machine supporting master cards in Canada.

    What proof of funds can students show at the Canadian border?

    What proof of funds can students show at the Canadian border? My proof of funds is my father's bank statement from a foreign bank, which I used to get my study visa. Is it okay to show just that at the border? Thanks.

    What is the best way to support yourself as a student in Canada?

    I have already satisfied the proof of funds requirements by getting the visa so that is not an issue, but let me rephrase the questions, 1) What is the usual amount of cash do students carry when they come studying in Canada? (This is not a regulations question) 2) Students who are supported...

    What is the best way to support yourself as a student in Canada?

    The questions are not about proof of funds at all. And since you brought that up, how about showing your father's bank statement as proof of funds? Why does it have to be a Canadian bank account? PS: it would be great if someone could answer the 3 questions in the first post :), thank you

    What is the best way to support yourself as a student in Canada?

    How do international students usually support themselves in Canada? 1) Around how much cash are you supposed to carry? 2) If you are sponsored by your parents, do you carry credit cards linked to their bank accounts? or linked to your own bank account where your parents transfer sponsorship...

    Why doesn't trv guarantee entry at the border?

    Hi @ meagan99, fake documents are also a clear reason for getting turned away - and thanks for the video. Most of the people in the video are clearly breaking the law, so I am not asking about that. The funniest bit was the "Romanian" guy who said random, gibberish...

    Why doesn't trv guarantee entry at the border?

    Hi @ on-hold, these reasons are pretty clear - sorry for not explaining the question better. I am rather asking if there are genuine people who got turned away for unjustified reasons.

    Picking up the passport

    Hi sorry for the late reply. I picked up the passport today - the courier delivered the document much faster than I thought. I applied for the visa in Saudi Arabia so there is no category. When the embassy started processing my application, it took them 5 days to approve it. Thanks.

    study permit after approved PR

    Hi guys, sorry for not updating you earlier. Yes they relinquished my PR and I got the visa in 5 days. Someone I know happens to be a visa officer and he said that relinquishing the PR is a standard procedure and can only strengthen your case of getting the visa. Whether it shows immigration...

    Picking up the passport

    I just got an email saying that my visa is approved and my guess is that the embassy will send my passport through a courier shortly. Problem is, I don't trust this courier since it took them around three weeks to send my documents to the embassy, located only few hundred kilometers away and...

    Chances of getting a study permit

    Someone - I know - graduated with a masters degree and got admitted for the same master program in the exact same field in a university in Canada. He has no ties to his homeland since he is a young student who just graduated and is living temporarily in a foreign country. What do you think of...
