Aw, I missed that part. Thanks. Another show money uli in case. 16 months pala yung diploma in child care. Inisip ko kasi dati na 1 year is ok since mag aaply ako either express entry or pnp after. How much money did you show for 2yr course? Thinking of 2 things. 1. Shift to diploma program after 1 sem, as you said, or, 2. Itry ko magshift now to diploma and ask bvc again...
sorry now lang nag reply sobrang busy kasi hehe. anyways. 2.5M po pinakita ko as proof of financial. may visa kana po ba? kung wla pa pwede ka pang mag shift ng duration ng studies mo, and you pay another $130 for the application fee sa school then you need to wait for a month for them to give you a seat for the diploma. anyways okay din yung mag shift ka nalang after first year mo then once na accept ka sa Diploma ska ka mag extend ng visa mo but you need to show proof of financial pag mag eextend ka ng visa :)

Buti nalang nakta ko tong forum na to bago ako magapply ng student visa.
Gusto ko lng iklaro sana at masagot mga katanungan ko.
1. Gagawa ba muna ng cic account bago sagutan yung elligibility kung online magaapply?
2. Pwede ba mag pa upfront medical kung online magaaply?
3. Anu-ano po yung mga documents na kailangang iisacan bago iupload? Yung po bang mga forms kailangan po bang iprint para malagay yung signature tapos iscan then upload?
4.yung picture ba na nirerequire iiscan ba yun bago isubmit?
5.kailangan po ba naisama yung trv form sa application kung study permit ang aaplyan?
6.sa mga wala pong travel history na successful yung application. Inexplain nyo ba kung bakit wala pa kayong travel history abroad sa sop nyo?
7.Makaka apektoba sa application ko yung trabaho ng parents ko, ang papa ko kasi tricycle driver at yung mama ko dealer ng avon. At ako I.T grad. At fresh grad palng. Ang uncle ko kas yung tutulong sakin. Saknya lahat pati accomodation.

Sana po matulungan nyo po ako. Sensya po kung yung iba kong question ko e natanong na sa previous threads. Di na kasi ako nag backread kasi sobrang dami na. Hehe
Maraming salamat.
sir, I'll try to answer all your questions ah since wla naman ako gingwa :)
1. mag sagot ka po muna ng questions sa CIC if you are eligible for online application. If so, they will give you a code na gagamitin mo sa online application mo.
2. pwede ka mag upfront boss. basta make sure you include the receipt or the form that will prove na nakapag medicals ka na sa then upload it to "letter of explanation" section
3. the forms. no need to sign since they will generate a electronic signature once na ready to submit kana. all the supporting docuemnts dapat scanned siempre kasi online ka mag susubmit. TIP ko lang, Ilagay mo sa iisang file yung mga proof of income, etc. etc
4. pwedeng iscan pwede ding humingi ka ng soft copy sa photographer then yun isubmit mo
5. I am confused on that question sir pakilinaw po.
6. about travel history, some people here said that no travel history can be a ground for refusal da. pero para skn di ako naniniwala doon. no need
to explain, but its really up to you sir if you want to explain :)
7. as long as you have an affidavit of support from your uncle then you're good to go. ilagay mo nalang sa SOP mo yung occupation ng parents mo and sino mag susupport sayo and kung di sila ma convinced sa mga pinakita mong documents, especially sa proof of financial then the VO might refuse your application.

Wow sped teacher din pala wife mo and yes you are blessed talaga. Imagine there was a job waiting for her kahit noong hindi pa na approve OWP niya.

Sped teacher din ako dito sa Pinas and Im applying for Behavioural Sciences Diploma sa Seneca King Campus. Its in the field of special educ. Sped kasi experience ko dito kaya i didn't pursue my plan in applying humber for international devt. Kaya nga lang wala akong idea kung okay ba doon sa King City. What I like in humber sana is it's in Toronto pero 1 year grad cert. Lang ang autism and behavioural science nila. whereas sa seneca king campus 2 years diploma kaya when i saw there program I applied right away without second thought. Hindi kasi ako mahirapan sa SOP, passion ko talaga ang Sped field and most specially it's safer for future PR kasi 2 years. Isa lang concern ko ngayon medyo malayo yata siya sa Toronto, well I dont know really bahala na. Hehehe

Mic-mic may idea po ba kayo kung okay po ba doon?
hello, eepal lang :) ayaw mo ba mag disability studies? I mean maganda kasi opportunity for you lalo na't my experience ka sa mga SPED sa Pinas. ako kasi nurse sa pinas and dahil sa experience ko and disability studies pinag aaralan ko, madami tumtwag skn for the support worker or mga SPED jobs yun nga lang tinangihan ko kasi need nila full time. :) pero if you really want to pursue that course sige lang basta make sure po na di mataas ang competition para di ka mahirapan mag hanap ng work since recession dito sa canada.

Erwinjohn997 thanks for the advice :)

Okay din disability studies but most of the subjects were already taken during my diploma and masters. For now kasi ang tiningnan ko ay ang Visa chances mahihirapan ako sa SOP pag disability studies. Pero im still checking if ok ba doon sa king city ontario. Ayaw ko naman mapunta sa lugar kung saan mahihirapan ako sa commuting , accomodation and lalo na part time job opportunities. Gusto ko din sana BVC pero walang course na VISA friendly for me :)

Pero if I find out na mahirap doon sa King City I will surely tranfer to different institution after I have the Visa pero complicated na and mas magastos na.. Sana ok lang sa Seneca King Campus

Salamat for taking the time to answer kahit busy ka, Erwin. It's really good to hear from someone na nandyan na with first hand experience. :) Pwede siguro ituloy ko nalang yung current program for one year, then extend visa. Although, wala pa ko visa. Then, pwede kaya 1 yr certificate course uli ang kunin, or it has to be Diploma? Balak ko, Disability cert para somehow related to child care. Para sakto lang 2 yrs ang studies then i can work na. It sounds like in demand ang Disability course. I was thinking about taking this course before, but I could not relate it sa natapos ko which is Business and Educ. :D

yes pwedeng pwede yun basta once na nakakuha ka na ng LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE for disability go kana mag apply ng extension ng visa mo para bgyan ka nila ng additional one year sa validity ng visa. ako din naman nahirapan iconnect yung disability sa Nursing haha kasi more on interventions sa nursing sa disability naman more on support ang ginwa ko lang para ma convince ko sila eh nag bangit nalang ako na nag work ako sa cousin ko na may epilepsy so ayun na connect ko siya dahil dun . alam ko may pinost akong SOP dito sa forum hanap mo nalang hehe. and don't forget to write on your SOP na ung mga plans mo after studying sa Canada like babalik ka pa ng pilipinas etc etc. and bettef kung mag submit ka din ng letter sa employer mo jan sa pinas at sbhin niya na may babalikan ka pang trabaho jan sa pinas. kita kits nalang sa BVC pero baka till March nalang ako anyways goodluck sa application ng lahat! :)

Hello again, just would like to confirm your expert opinion on this kasi yung Immigration Lawyer na kinuha ng parents in law ko na nasa Canada ay medyo once in a blue moon lang mg email sa amin about our application though he was paid in full :(.

We just received his advise this morning - I will be the one to lodge first my SP application and medyo na sad ako kasi I wanted sana the whole family (my hubby and son). I am thinking na baka pwede kaya na since festive season naman ay mag lodge din sila ng Tourist Visa in a separate application para sana pg na-aprove ay makaalis din kame agad (of course God's will na ma-approve din yung SP ko).

I have been reading the pages dito sa thread at ang natapos ko palang ay pages 260-latest 341 at medyo wala ata akong nakitang same case or baka na overlook ko lng.

God bless. Thank you po.

so do you mean gusto mo ksama mo buong family mo pag punta nang Canada? wala naman problema if mag aapply ka ng TRV for your son and OWP sa hubby mo then pag na convince mo ang VO then they might approve your application. pero make sure na masunod mo yung financial requirements na nasa CIC and other supporting documents. ang advisable kasi is SP muna ang iapply then saka na yung mga TRV and OWP kasi based on my understanding mas madali ung ganun and pag tourist visa ang iaapply ng asawa mo and son mo 6 months lang sila pwede mag stay sa Canada with you.

Hi Sir Erwin,

Ganun nga po sana if ako ang masusunod na isasabay ko nang apply as OWP and TRV silang dalawa kaso kagaya nga ng sabi mo rin eh mukhang may point naman si Lawyer. I am thinking lang kasi ng possible ways sana which is yung Tourist Visa lang and while they are in Canada for 6 months eh baka pwede naman dun nalang I process un OWP at TRV?

Thank you so much.

yes pwede naman anyways pwede naman yung OWP muna isabay mo sa application mo and then saka mo na problemahin nalang yung TRV sa anak mo once na naka land ka na po sa Canada. mahirap kasi kumuha ng tourist sa Canada pero it depends padin po sayo sobrang daming options pero dun ka sa best and may assurance na ma aapprove yung appliation :)

So, ang nilagay ko ay I will manage my father's business pagbalik sa pinas since magrretire na sya and i'm the only surviving sibling. Also, plan magput up ng day care center since need sa area namin. I hope maconvince ang immig. I will try to look for your sample SOP for more ideas.^^ til March ka na lang dyan? I plan to apply by March or April for the August intake. Is it too early? ;D
