Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

[humdrumdum]

Hi tcoy! Just want to ask first if s/he has been through at least 2 years of university? I assume that the person hasn't gone through the K-12 program yet, so in most cases, people who graduated from HS in the Philippines have to do Grade 11 and 12 of senior high school before being eligible for a post-secondary course in Canada.

If s/he has finished 2 years of college, then I think mas malaki ang chances to get a study permit kung related yung course niya sa aaralin niya in Canada. You have many options to choose from, but people tend to choose polytechnics over universities because it's known to be a quick (2 years lang for a diploma) and "cost-effective" way to get a job.

But if you are deciding to settle in Quebec, your options will be narrowed since there are only a limited number of English-speaking institutions.

thanks much...

just wanna ask if whats the best course for an 18yo who wants study in Canada..


Godbless.

Hi guys,

Sent follow up letter yesterday. Here's the reply i got this morning.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please be advised that we have no record of an application currently in process in our office that matches your name and date of birth. If you are relying on the services of an agency, you may wish to follow-up with your agent regarding your application and confirm with them if they have already submitted your application to this office.

First of all, wala po ako consultant/agent. I applied July 20,2013 (online application). I replied with a copy of my confirmation letter stating that they were able to receive my application / application has been lodged. Any thoughts on this guys? This really shook my nerves. I hope this is not a bad case or whatsoever. Also, i have to leave before October 26. My class will start November 4.

Hi. I recently graduated from my university last May po. Nung summer term po kasi ako grumaduate. Kakaapply ko pa lang po sa univ na papasukan ko last week. Hindi po ako umabot ng sept due to financial reasons -(ipon mode). Ask ko lang po na kung meron na po ba ditong nakakuha na ng student visa kahit hindi related sa course dito sa pinas ang aapplyan sa canada? 2 year diploma lang naman po ang aapplyan ko, may naaccept na po bang applicant kahit 2 year diploma lang ang kukunin? Salamat po.

Starlettedouze, I had mine in IOM Manila pero you need an appointment unlike sa St. Luke's (Manila extension clinic) walk-in... Had my results in 3 working days...

Tisoy try this link: https://dmp-portal.cic.gc.ca/cicemail/intro-eng.aspx?mission=manila
There's an instruction on how to fill it out and it's pretty straight forward.

I hope you won't mind me asking mjessie but why would you enroll on something not related to your educational background? Visa officers look on that carefully, unless you specify your reasons in your letter of explanation or study plan..

Hi,

Isn't it too late to apply for the visa by 3rd week of October for January 2014 Intake? Thanks!

 

[mjessie]

@DocRZ, curious lang po. hehe. meron naman po akong reason na pwede kong pagtugmain yung dalawa pero kinakabahan lang kasi talaga ako sa VO kung sakaling hindi niya ma-gets kung bakit ako mageenroll ng another program na taliwas sa naging course ko. environmental science grad po ako pursuing a 2 yr diploma in business admin-management. gusto ko po kasing kumuha ng career related sa environmental management for business.

 

[DocRZ]

mjessie, you better make a good explanation kasi may loophole ang reason mo like new graduate ka so dapat you try to make a career out of your undergrad degree and not study a different field. Better chances if you go for masters in environmental science. Magiging acceptable pag ganun sa VO. Good luck!

 

[humdrumdum]

@mjessie: Actually business course na may halong science yung tinapos ko sa Manila at purely science na yung inaaral ko ngayon.

Para mas sigurado, I would advise na try mo mag-apply for something related to environmental science in Canada then shift if you still want to. Do you have plans of working in Canada afterwards? There are openings here for Environmental Health Officers (formerly known as public health inspectors), I think that's a good option to look into.

Hi,
I have applied for a University in Canada. I will get the answer very soon. What I would like to work on is to find out the pros & cons of applying for my family (Wife + 2 year old daughter). I want to apply for them along with me.

Questions:
1. How much should be the bank statement?
2. What additional paper work is required?
3. Which of the points I need to work on harder to boost the chances of getting the visa?
4. Is there anything else I need to know?

Hello!

Quick question lang for the guys in Canada, which is the most practical way to send money from Ph to Canada?

 

[humdrumdum]

I'm currently looking into XOOM Money Transfer... Flat rate of USD $5.99 for transactions of $50-2,999 direct to your local bank account. Otherwise, I'm considering a wire transfer instead
