Are they that thorough? I have a friend kasi and her dad is a visa officer, and her dad always tell us that no matter how many documents you submit, if its not needed, it will be disregarded anyway. Her dad always tell us din that, they are not after the entire thing, only the consistency ng mga sinasabi mo, otherwise malalaman kasi nila if you are lying or not, especially daw if sa interview is masyadong scripted ung sinasabi. They prefer spontaneous answers.businessgirl2014 said:my schedule is on october 8 in cebu, Wink i am hoping that this is just a glitch or i somehow forgot to attach something.. but a big part of my heart says i am already refused though.. i just hope i get an explanation as to why i was given a refusal without waiting for my medical..or why was i sent a medical request even though i am refused.lol
i applied via agency.. provided all that they asked, and did not lie. at all. ;Dwondergirl1992 said:Are they that thorough?

So, if you think naman na you submitted the required documents, and be honest, i dont see any reasons to be refused. If ever naman na refuse ka, you can always re apply baka may hindi ka lang naexplain na maayos?

Hi micmic, I would agree with most people and advice against business courses too hahahaha (not all of them, but mostly "management" in particular)micmic said:Humdrumdum! I did find other programs relative to my field: Graphics and Packaging designs. Unfortunately, it's only a diploma course so the Global Business Management (a post grad) is still my current best bet even if it seems to have a bad rep ;D I'll just maybe bank on the PGWP after finishing. It's just the job opportunities and current wages that I'm a bit skeptic about as most people and even strangers that I randomly talk to in my commutes/malls tend to advice against taking business and just get into a health related program. One long shot I'm thinking of is just getting another bachelor's degree with the hopes of my units being credited and would just end up taking the majors. ;D
hi, i actually applied for international business management, why do u advise against taking management courses? thanks. maybe i am refused because of my course.. (not that i got my refusal,lol, im still waiting)humdrumdum said:Hi micmic, I would agree with most people and advice against business courses too hahahaha (not all of them, but mostly "management" in particular)
I come from a business background too (took it as my undergrad, few years experience with a medium sized company) and although it does help to have theoretical knowledge in management for any field, main goal in Canada is to land a job as soon as possible (at least in my opinion --- the longer you're unemployed = more expenses you're incurring that isn't backed up by income). Having specialized skills in a particular field may limit your options, but depending on the industry, it might make it easier for employers to hire you because you're exactly what they're looking for. This is precisely why people study health sciences; they know there's a demand for it. Easiest (and quickest) way to make the most out of that opportunity is a diploma, then you can upgrade your career by studying again part-time once you already have a job. It's a common scenario and a diploma is nothing to be ashamed of.
But I don't agree with frustratedcanadian re: course credit. It's not impossible to get course credit with a degree from the Philippines. If you're planning to, it's possible, but you need to present the course syllabus of the course you've already taken (so that the school can verify if the course is comparable). So if you've already thrown those away after college, you'll have to go through the hassle of contacting professors or asking other contacts.
Having course credit DOES NOT immediately make you a part-time student. The definition of a full-time student varies per institution. Some universities define them as students who are enrolled for at least 9 credits per semester, while some technical institutions like ours define them as having at least 60% of the full-time course load that term. Getting transfer credit will definitely not disqualify you for a study permit (did it to tell the tale hahaha).
