I would suggest that you do an upfront medical. Less things to worry when your medical request will arrive = less stress. You will only wait for the decision which is around 7-8 weeks.
Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?
- Thread starter sgmav
- Start date
Btw, what's the diff between applying for SDS vs SP? Do you have any idea po ba?
Regular study permit (SP)
Study Direct Steam (SDS) same as SP except that
- Admission to a full-time program in a publicly-funded post-secondary institution such as universities, colleges, institutes or CÉGEP;
- An IELTS score with a minimum band of 6 for each ability (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking) taken within past two years;
- Purchase of a special Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) from Scotiabank of CAD$10,000 to cover living expenses for the first year of stay in Canada;
- Proof of payment of the tuition fee for one (1) year; AND
- Upfront medical examination at least one week before submission of the application.
- Paper base application only
Good morning to all.
Regarding CAiPS notes....ask ko sana if pede ako na lang mag apply online for CAIPS NOTES outside of canada - hihingin ko n lng sa friend ko ang PR details nya para di na sya masyado maabala.
And if na try nyo na...how does it goes, how long before you received the result if requested notes is online not hard copies.
Thanks and God bless!

It might work pero you might need his credit card info.
I am thinking to use my own credit card details....will it pose an issue that the card holder is different from the pr holder?
I remember there is one post in here...that he/she is the one who filled up the information of the pr holder....not sure if he/she also used his/her own credit card or the pr holder credit card detsils....not mentioned also how it goes - if it went all well. Pa share po ng info..thanks!
Never tried it and never knew a case like that pero tingin ko yung issue na magarise is different credit card tapos baka tingan pa IP mo na mula pang PH.
Thanks Kapatid....those are the thoughts na niisip ko kaya medyo hesistant ako. I will just ask him to do it for me.
Sometimes, canada application seems so simple but yet complicated (Thinking out loud)
Hi! I requested for CAIPS notes last July 30. I filled out the forms myself and used my Philippine based (BPI) credit card to pay for the fee. I just needed my aunt's email address and phone number when I designated her as my authorized representative. Since I also used her files as supporting documents before, I had her other PR related details na.
When I filled out the forms, I downloaded the consent form and signed it digitally so I could upload the signed form along with my request. Three weeks after, we got an email from them saying that they couldn't process my request unless I send an inked signature. Medyo hassle kasi in those three weeks of waiting, I could've sent the signed form had they clarified on the website that there will be problems with scanned signatures. I sent mine last August 21 and we received a reply to our follow up email saying that they acknowledge receiving my signed form and that I was supposed to get the CAIPS notes last September 13 but they are overwhelmed with requests. My file will be put on priority but I should expect delays.
TL; DR version: I was able to use my BPI credit card to request and pay for the CAIPS notes from here but they are overwhelmed with requests so expect delays.
Good luck!
