It was not fast at all po. It took me 11 weeks and a day before the passport request. Mine exceeded the normal processing time of 10 weeks in the country.
How did u file your app? Online ba or thru VFS?

I am in Canada on a Student Visa, Husband on OWP and 7yr old daughter on TRV. The school never asked for her study permit.
Hi, can u share how u applied? Sabay sabay ba kayo ng husband and anak mo?
Kasi same case tayo. Magaapply ako as student, then my husband for OWP tapos TRV ung son ko.
Kung online kasi, hiwa-hiwalay ang appli namin. So hindi sabay sabay ang decision.

Optional:
1) Schedule 1 (Application for Temporary Resident Visa)


Bakit pala may sinubmit ka nitong form? Alam ko pag nag YES from no. 1-6 ka lng s background information sa application for study permit outside canada saka lng magsusubmit nito.

If you checked “Yes”, provide details, you may be required to complete Schedule 1 ─ Application for Temporary Resident Visa (IMM 5257 – Schedule 1)

I did po kasi nasa list po xa ng dapat i.upload na docs when I completed my online application. And dahil as students siguro, we are going to be temporary residents din and okay lang kasi wala namang dagdag na babayaran basta ng apply ka for study permit. And the passport request is for TRV po kaya hinihingi nila for stamping..

Guys! A little help lang po. :D

I'm trying to decide kung aling school ang aapplyan ko. Gusto ko sana yung 1 year lang para mas practical, kaya lang iniisip ko, 1 year lang din yung PGWP nun kaya gaya ng sabi ng iba, mahirap daw kunin yung minimum number of hours para magiging eligible sa CEC sa loob ng isang taon lang. Pero, sa nabasa ko sa CIC, may 90 days allotted time to apply for PGWP after graduation.

Ngayon, yung school na aapplyan ko sana ay nagbibigay ng volunteer opportunities sa students nila after graduation. Ang tanong ko po ay pwede bang mag volunteer work habang naghihintay sa PGWP?

Sir , need po ng OWP para makapag volounteer . Oo nga mas practical ang 1 year pero mas advisable po ang 2 year course pag gsto mo mas mataas ang score mo for CEC. Pero malay natn mag iba ang program for us after a year db.

@Bajinggirl, can you share your profile? Baka may mapulot kaming lesson sa profile mo. e.g., cash in bank, course, years ng program mo, anong province, at ano major reason mo for studying canada?
