Hi kababayans,

I got refused this aug 6 for some reason and would want tomre apply, any cases bah na kagaya ko na na approved in second attempt ?

The letter says :
--you have not satisfied me that you would leave canada and over stay for sone reasons daw :
1 purpose of visit
2 employment prospects in country of residence
3 current employment situation

Para sa mga naka lampas sa ganitong poblema paano po bah? Thanks

Yes, my 700k plus does not include the first installment of My tuition. And we were not even planning to touch that fund for the payment of the second half so it means i have more than enough. My counselor kasi advised i should have around 17000CAD sa available funds for stay ko. Which i think is correct if 10k plus the 2nd haf tuition. Hay maybe i should have submitted more bank statements nlg. So next theory would be maybe cause of the ITR, my dad's business ITR kasi declares a small amount, common naman yata ito sa atin so that we could pay less taxes. So nag ka conflict sa na state ko na 30000-35000CAD na annual income ng dad ko na nilagay ko sa SOP. I am so confused. Even sa employment thingy, kasi un nga ang problem, fresh grad tapos volunteer work lang ako pde malagay, kme pa magbabayad. Then it doesnt give pa the assurance that they will hire you as staff after volunteer. Gs2 ko sana e point out yan sa kanila pero baka bad impression sa system dito sa Phil. Haha kaya i need help. Am i still able to reapply if push through ako Sept intake? And pano po gumawa ng SOP kapag na refuse na? Meron pa dyan sample guys? For basis lang

Medyo late na for September intake. You have, give or take, 3 weeks. It's much wiser to defer to the next semester.
I think it's a challenge for nursing grads to get a student visa because sa sinabi mo na sistema dito sa Pinas. Many go into an unrelated field after graduation, eh importante sa VO ang stable work history connected sa degree mo.
I don't think it's the money that's the problem per se, yung background mo ang reason, I think. Pero try to strengthen your SOP and explain how this nursing degree will give you an advantage over other nursing graduates in the Philippines. Better sana if you can have someone guarantee you a job when you return. Ano sabi ng counselor mo?

Hi everyone! Who's applying for Winter 2016 in Centennial College Toronto? and advice naman po should I apply through vfs or online? thanks

Hi dmzed, wala namang big difference in terms of processing times between online or paper application. Sa online lang, you can track your case better kesa sa paper na waiting game talaga. I applied through paper lang kasi takot ako baka may hindi maupload na document at malapit lang ang VFS office sa amin. Pero it really depends on what's convenient for you.

hi guys! My ask lang po ako kung pano malalamn kung approve un visa or hindi kinakabahn ako at same time masaya! I received an email from embassy and vfs awhile ago. The mail states that our passports (including my spouse dependent) has been dispatched from canada visa center. I also received a mail with the same content. What does it mean??? Please help.. Thanks

Did you receive an approval mail ... if no, it might not be good news, pero antayin mo na lang ang passport mo. Baka naman hindi.

Ano yung background mo? What did you study here, do you have any work history? and what is your planned course in Canada?

Actually pareho tayo ng plano Shimmy. Kaya nag backread ako dito about study permit extension. Nagtanong na ko sa mga schools, matagal pa ang intakes tska maikli din yung program length para sa PN dun sa vancouver/richmond/surrey/burnaby. Di ko pa siguro nakikita yung may 2 years PN program sa BC. Ayaw sana namin lumayo sa centro. Sa ontario marami ako nakita pero plan namin sa BC talaga. Mukhang magiging pang entry nalang natin muna courses natin? Sori ako rin malaking question mark din sakin to, hehe

May mga schools na DLI pero sila mismo nagsabi na hindi eligible yung course nila na PN for PGWP. Yung vancouver career college yun agad ang sinabi nya sakin kahit 75 weeks na yun.

Hi po sa mga seniors na nandun na sa canada, any updated info about study permit extension? May mga kakilala na po ba kayo dyan na after their 1st course, nag take ulit sila ng 2nd course para lang ma extend ang stay nila? Salamat po sa magrereply ;D

Hi ibong adarna! Yes parang ganun na nga po na pang entry lang talaga muna. Pero nasasayangan din kse ako for 1 yr kung skali kung tutuloy ko talaga sia. May school akong nakita sa vancouver shool of nursing try to search OMNI college po.
Dapat ata may nsg experience ka wthin last 4 yrs un isa sa mga req nila.

Hello ulit Oo na check ko na rin sa OMNI. May 5 yrs exp na ko pero di sya pasok para sa PGWP kaya ekis na sa list ko. Mukhang sa ibang province nalang muna ko mag take ng chances. Mostly september 2016 na ang intakes sa mga cities na gusto ko sa BC para sa health sciences. It's either mag wait nalang ako or lipat ng ibang province. Thank you talaga sa mga tao dito (lalo kay Scorpio ;D ) or else napasubo na ako sa mga short courses. Patience pala talaga kailangan dito ;D

Maiba lang, may medical doctors po ba dito or kakilala nyo na naging international student din? Anu kinuha nilang course? Dapat ba higher education lang like master's at PhD?

Hi Ibong_Adarna! Medical Doctor ka po ba? Mag master's ka na lang sa Ontario para pasok ka sa OINP Masters Graduate Stream.

"Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) (OINP) offers an opportunity for International Students – Masters Graduates to live and work permanently in Ontario.

Prospective nominees applying under the Masters Graduates stream can apply without a job offer. Applicants can send nominee applications directly to OINP."

[Ibong_Adarna]

Hi Floje! Salamat po sa reply. Yung asawa ko po ang MD hehe. Naghahanap ako pareho para samin eh. Sa University of British Columbia sana kaso sept 2016 na ang health sciences. Cge check ko po yang link na binigay mo ngaun.

Sa Centennial (welland campus) di makapasok call namin pati sa Niagara. Email ko nalang ba sila? Mukhang busy lagi line nila eh.

Hehe, glad I was able to help!
Wala pa yata akong nakikitang MD dito na nagstudent eh. Hindi ba mataas ang points for doctors via FSW / Immigrant stream?

Pag malapit na ang start ng classes, mahirap talaga makapasok dahil busy ang staff with orientation/registration/welcoming new students. Keep trying. Or you can email their International Centres, baka nga mas mabilis

Yes po. Nung nag apply kami mpnp noon sya ang principal app. Nagbago ruling, nawala na general stream kaya mag SP nalang ako or sya. Tapos saka na po kami mag plano doon if ever matuloy kami through SP in God's will
Cge po i'll take your advice na mag email na rin at the same time kahit tinatawagan namin.
Kung ako mag student, dependant ko sya tapos ganun credential ng asawa ko, di ba magduda VO? Mas ok ba sya ang magaral nlng?

They advised me to fix my dads ITR daw then get work experience and reapply for May2016intake nlg para refresh daw ung system. Ok lang sana kapag about sa work experience pero ang ITR, parang complicated. They also discouraged me to reapply sa Canada ulit if i will do nothing about the ITR, indian kasi ung counselor ko, so parang pinipilit talaga ITR mandatory daw. Refund ko nlg daw tuition or apply nlg to their New zealnd program. Yan ung options binigay nila sakin. Hay plano ko dn sana magreapply pero hindi ko sasabihin sa counselor lol pero takot na ako. Still contemplating if kukuha nlg ako NCLEx hehe

 

[Elapar]

Thank you sa mga nag reply and gave advices sakin. I am very grateful for the words of encouragement and suggestions! Very much appreciated! I feel better na that i was able to talk to my dad about it, he hates kasi spending money. So nahihiya talaga ako sa kanya, but his reaction wasn't as bad as I expected. So feeling a little better. Now im just weighing my options on what path I should consider but thanks to everyone!

Thanks babies.yes po eh sinabi ng ivc sakin paper based po kse ako. Mas mabilis ata pag online ka magapply. Can you suggest ano ung pedeng itake na programs na eligible for PGWPP related sa business course or nursing. Thank you. Nakakadepress na kse hindi ko mahabol ung mga intake dates sa mga schools
