Hey Doda. My medical results hasn't been forwarded yet to the embassy. I will call the clinic tomorrow to request if they can prioritize my file. Hopefully they'll agree to my request and understand my situation.
Good luck mate.... :)

@msladybug, i already tried it earlier, hopefully i can get response from them. BTW, all my papers and documents are already at the CEM, i just dont know if they already recieved my medical report, its been a month already.

My class will start on Sept 3, and the school already emailed me thrice to ask me about the status of my application, hopefully i can receive a good news one of this days :)

Not to belittle consultancies but they don't really help that much, except saving your time & effort. I relied on consultancies for more than a year. My advice is to read threads found here or ask help from the expert forum members. But if you have the money to shoulder the professional fees for consultants, I guess you can ask for their help.

I heard E-square Consultancy was able to send Filipinos to Canada through FSW. But surely, you can do this on your own, save money & find tips by just reading.

I agree with msladybug, I think agencies can help find placements for those wishing to work in Canada or meron ring specialized for those who really want to study in commonwealth countries (i.e., Study International, Study Connect, etc.) so I think depende po talaga sa specific need niyo. I think that as far as the question of "visa chances" is concerned, it wholly depends on your credentials, ties, and financials and the agency can only guide you through the process.

Naisip ko din nga kung online sya or paper-based.

@renie: Yes, wait for your passport but at the same time book for a flight, know about port of entry policies which can be found on cic.gc.ca Congrats dude! :)

humdrumdum and msladybug, I first filed my application without the help of consultants but since my visa was rejected and I don't know how to answer the rejection reason, Im looking for a good consultant here in the Philippines. I'm not sure how to answer/solve the issue of the consul with regards to my home ties.. :(

Thanks sa mga member ng FORUM NA TOH! super thanks :)

you can resolve this i think by declaring your family members still living here. lahat po ba ng relatives ninyo nasa Canada/abroad na? are you married? have kids? siblings?

Aside from your family serving as country ties, pwede din ang business, properties, a job/position waiting for your after graduation. Personally, I lack this in my Statement of purpose. Sabi ko lang, after graduation, I plan to either stay in Canada to work and continue my research or go back to the Philippines to be a university professor. Although factor na din siguro na I have no immediate family sa Canada kaya they granted my visa.

True! Show to the visa officer that your main priority is to go back to the Philippines after your studies. Maging makabayan ka sa personal study plan mo ;)

Haha I agree! I showed proof that I have a job waiting for me when I get back even if I showed that my sister is already in Canada.
