Hi everyone,
I just wanna share my experience regarding the application. First, here is my profile
BS Medical Technology Graduate Cum Laude
Funds of 1.3 Million pesos - parents bank account
1 year work experience - 14k per month
IELTS - 8
car and land titles
program is Advanced Biotechnology 3 years
Passport stamp in HK and Dubai
6 days after the submission of my medical results to the embassy, I received an email that my passport has been dispatched and my application has been finalized. The next day I received my passport without any visa. My application was denied with the following reasons:
Financial Capabilities
Employment Prospects and status
Travel History
I was heartbroken, but I did not succumbed into self-pity. I reapplied with my agency and they wrote a very good SOP which sounds very technical and as it it was written by a lawyer. I applied on June 24 and here is my new profile:
BS medical technology cum laude
Funds of 2.4 million pesos
Tuition payment of 3600 CAD
Own bank account with 100k
1 year work experience - 14k per month
IELTS - 8
car and land titles
program is Advanced Biotechnology 3 years
Passport stamp in HK and Dubai
The agency answered the questions that the immigration officer is doubtful of. Like the employment prospects, we said that a medical technologist career does not always end in the laboratory. It could be in the academe, pharmaceutical companies, environmental laboratories, research institutes and many more. We also explained that as a fresh graduate, it is already a big feat here in the Philippines to secure a job paying 14k basic salary and that it is understandable that as someone who has just started, the bank account is not that impressive. Regarding the travel history, the agency said that i have not broken any immigration laws in dubai or hongkong and neither have i sought employment illegally and that I have no plans of breaking any immigration laws in the future, and that I am a bonafied student and much more legal terms that I do not understand.
After 2 weeks and a day, i received an email from the CIC with a letter attached that my application for student and work permit has been approved. Yay! Sometimes, God is changing something in us bago nya ibigay. All in God's perfect timetable. God is good, God is great, God is the best. To all those waiting for their visas, I pray you receive yours soon. I hope my story is helpful to you. God bless.
