Hi guys! What would you suggest po? Paper based application or online application? For January 2018 intake na po ako (thrilling, I know). Pero try ko pa rin!
Doesnt matter. Sa paper base may magcheck lang ng completeness ng application mo.

To enter you need a student visa (a kind of visa) to stay in Canada you need a student permit. They only give student permit at the port of entry so to reach the port of entry (board the place) they give you a student visa.
TRV (a.k.a. a visitors visa) is a visa for a visitor and Work Visa is a visa for worker (later work permit).
Thank you as always. Just confusing myself I guess. I just thought they^ll stick two visas on your passport. One for study and one for TRV. I used to have a Canadian Tourist Visa kc but it expired last June. Thats why im praning lng haha.

Thank you s pag reply. Lubusin ko na d p kc ako madyadong familiar. Anong difference ng regular stream and sds?
Pag regular stream po, optional ang IELTs, pay the required deposit fee ng school to get LOA, processing time is mahaba2 usually 6 - 8 weeks depending on the processing time reflected sa CIC at maraming documents po. While SDS you have to pay 1 year full tuition fee, required ang IELTs, you have to purchase $10,000 CAD GIC, medyo less documents and mas madali processing which cost 30 days only as per CIC po.

I was never been out of the Philippines, so wala po akong travel history.

Maraming Salamat po.. Lalong lalo po nila sir @mic-mic at @scorpio1641 dahil sa pagsagot po sa mga katanongan ko..at sa lahat po ng sumagot salamat po ng marami... hehe


Congrats po! planning to start my sp also at nait winter 2018 intake. ask ko lng how much is the down payment and how much yung nasa bank statement mo? worry ko kc kung malaki yung down payment bka wla ng matira s bank account ko. TIA[/QUOTE]

Welcome po. Hi j3m24, bilis bilisan mo na po pag apply sa NAIT sir kasi ussually yong mga program nila full na pag nasa 3-4 months nlang po bago mag simula ang class. Inquire ka muna sa school sir kung available pa yong program pra di masayang ang application fee mo at pra di ka rin mailagay sa waitlist. Sa dowpayment to get LOA is $1,000 CAD po. Yong bank statement po is enatach ko lang po yong sa parents na accounts ko around 2M pesos ata lahat sir since esponsor po nila ako

Hi, I am a fresh graduate of BSHRM here in the Philippines and I'm interested to study in Canada because I want to settle there for good. I don't have a family there but my parents are willing to fund me if it's a good investment.
Can someone help where do I start. I read up online (still confused) and asked one of my friends who is currently studying in Australia now who told me that she managed to process her application only for a month with the help of IDP Education. But I personally wanted to know more from those filipino students who is actually studying in Canada rather than just ask a counselor in IDP. There's an EduCanada fair going on right now here and I'm planning to go there tomorrow although I still want your opinions.
There's also a link that I saw online about preparing to study abroad that I need to apply at least a year in advance and also about the SDS Program. I'm really confused. I hope someone can help me here. Is it really going to take that long to process my application even if there's SDS Program?
Mas madali po ung sds kasi less ung financial docs and ung processing time :)

Yeah! Waiting lang for LOA but nag pay na ako sa school so probably next week I can lodge my application na. Btw, yung passport ko expires on Oct 2019, and my study duration is 2 years. How will that be po? Hindi naman pwedeng i renew now kasi ang layo pa ng expiry ☹

"Low chance" is already a redflag. I will personally not risk spending a huge sum for a "low chance" of success. Best is to know what school they are offering to you and find out if that school is private or public. If you back read a bit, you'll find out that there is a reason bakit mas mura si private, kasi mas malaki chance na di qualify magka pgwp after.
just choose a public school, they will also assist you with your coop work permit if needed and PGWP
