Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

Hi amiel, cocoagirl is right. Canada is known to support family applications. Even sa FSW, alam ko mas mataas ang points (at least yung old system) pag married with dependents.

Our family's application was received on 16 August (student for me and daughter and open work permit for hubby) - I am hoping for the best, as with everyone here applying.

And congratulations to everyone who got approved. Enjoy Canada!

sis, I sent you PM!

@ wowry: Hmmm I'm not exactly sure of what to do in your case... Matagal na po ba kayo sa Middle East? Kasi kung hindi pa po kayo established diyan, baka maging basis for rejection po ata... Anyway eto lang po ang naisip ko, kung issue niyo po ang effect ng conversion, then why don't you declare na lang na your mother-in-law will also financially support you? All you have to do then is show proof of her financial capability, together with yours. Mas mainam po kung i-explain niyo po sa SOP. Just a suggestion

Kasi kung ttranfer niyo po ang Peso to a foreign currency account, I don't think there's any way to avoid the effect of conversion... Di rin ako sure sa bank draft but as far as I know, it's similar to an MC except that it's the bank's funds that will be paid on your behalf; meaning you'll be paying your Middle East account with Peso as well (unless you buy foreign currency, so icoconvert pa rin ang Peso dito), so I think parang ganun rin. Do correct me if I'm wrong, yun lang ang pagkaintindi ko hahaha

7 years na ako dito with a very stable job then ang asawa ko rin kasama ko dito sa middle east 10 years na siya dito at hindi ko siya isasabay sa application ko so i think ok na home tie na yon? buong family ko nasa Pinas din except my sister in law na canadian citizen na kaya sponsor ko din siya kasi sa kanya ako titira. ok lang ba 2 ang sponsor? saka kahit hindi blood related at immediate family? but sa SOP ko kasi after study plano ko umuwi ng Pinas to start a business kaya mas gusto ko sana under my name ang proof of fund ko na nasa Pinas para realistic na may pang business ako hehe problem is hindi naman pala pwede magdeposit sa BPI time deposit ko kahit sino dapat personal appearance daw. so kapag no choice na then idedeclare ko na lang mother in law ko as sponsor anyway plano naman talaga namin magsosyo sa business kung sakali so siguro isama niya sa letter of support niya sakin yon?

Kinopya ko na list mo thank you!

No need to mention your sister-in-law kung ang issponsor niya lang po is your lodging. Ang pinaka hinahanap po ng CIC is who will be paying for your expenses. I guess it's okay to declare on the form who will be the person paying for your expenses in majority (the bigger amount) then explaining that you will also have a secondary source of funds. I think okay lang po kahit hindi related, since some people have scholarships paid by institutions and that's fine.

Yes, if ever your mother-in-law will fund your stay, kailangan po i-state up to what extent ka niya issponsor and her capability to do so should be evidenced with supporting bank docs. I still think remitting the money is a viable option if you want strong evidence that you have enough personal funds, downside lang po talaga ang loss in exchange rates.

Either way, as long as you back-up a clear and solid explanation with official documents, I see no problem But this is just a suggestion! hehe Praying that your application will work out

@ humdrumdum may naisip na kong paraan haha. ang asawa ko kasi nagbabayad sa kinuha naming bahay every month sa pag-ibig plus allowance ng parents ko almost 40k din so instead na nagpapadala kami ng pera every month para don mother in law ko na lang magbabayad starting next month until january so ang pera namin here automatic nasa joint account na lang namin then ganun na nga gawin ko ideclare ko pa rin MIL ko as secondary sponsor ko ;D thank you sis sana nga mag-work out ayaw na namin sa middle east feeling dinosaur na kami sa tagal namin dito hehe.
may nag-advise sa akin wag ko daw muna isabay application ng hubby ko for TRV after na daw ma-grant ng study permit ko para less chances of rejection on my part. totoo po ba yon? meron kasi sa kabilang thread na after makakuha ng study permit saka nag-apply wife niya for TRV then pagdating sa POE saka nabigyan ng OWP same length ng study permit niya. meron naman iba nagsasabi hindi daw 100% sure yon.

Hi wowry, case to case basis naman kasi ang approval ng visa applications so it's hard to say ano ang sigurado sa hindi. I've seen cases here sa forum na milyon ang funds tapos hindi pa kasama ang family pero na reject. Meron din naman na sakto lang ang funds, etc pero approved. So I suggest just do what you think is best for you and your family, if sabay na ba ang OWP ng spouse or mauna ka muna. As long as you are able to follow the requirements on the checklist plus provide a very good SOP, then go for it Ü God bless!

 

[humdrumdum]

@wowry: I agree po with starlettedouze, can't say anything for sure since case to case basis po talaga. What you can do is build a strong case to avoid questionable areas in your application. Review your application on its own; for every approval or rejection, I believe there's a very good reason behind each one.

Goodluck dyan DocRz. Wag kang magsawa na tumulong sa amin dito.

Hi amiel, cocoagirl is right. Canada is known to support family applications. Even sa FSW, alam ko mas mataas ang points (at least yung old system) pag married with dependents.

Good luck starlettedouze on the application. Well ang plan na lang namin mag-asawa is to apply our daughter muna para kung palarin is silang mag-ina ang magkasama dun. I'll be staying here in Manila while I process our PR application since I already went through the process of Credentials Assessment and IELTS. Ok lang naman ako to stay here for a while kasi ok naman ang work ko, kaya kong i-support yung study ng wife ko and i'm still paying some investments here. Hirap kasi sa amin na parehas agad sa amin ang walang work so one at a time muna.

Thanks and good luck

@DocRZ: Wuhooo, so happy for you Doc! Enjoy Toronto before class starts, this is the time to celebrate!

@amiel.santiago: Will be praying for your application! Hope that everything works out

Btw, my passport just arrived a few hours ago! Thank you Lord for my miraculous application process! And it was delivered by 2Go, just in case you guys are still wondering ;D
