Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

[scorpio1641]

Thanks po. Ask ko lang din po kung sakaling kumuha po ako ng 1 year course. At naka obtain ng 1 year post grad work permit magwwork po ba dapat immediately or pwede din umuwi po muna ng pinas ?

I don't think you should come back pa sa Pinas after you graduate. Medyo time-sensitive din kasi ang Post Grad work permit. May certain no. of days na kailangan makuha siya at ma-effective siya, although I admit I didn't research this yet. Mahirap na baka ma-out of status ka or something. When you go here, I think you should be ready to stay for the long haul.

You only have 90days to apply for a pgwp and I guess going back to pinas won't work.

Has anyone here got a call from the CEM prolly by a VO and ask about ur application? Like a phone interview?

Thanks @scorpio1641. I am looking at Red River College's Techology Management or International Business Management. Another thing, ok lang ba kahit walang travel history? Does anyone of you got their visa approved kahit wala nun?
Thanks!

^^ Blessedmom, being well-travelled can help your application but it doesn't mean kung wala, hindi ka rin makakakuha. Mas importante that you prove you have enough ties to the Philippines and that after your degree, you will still be able to find a job here.
Maybe someone here na na-approve without travel history can get further insight.

Hello blessedmom!

Travel history is factor but not necessarily a main determinant of the success of your application. I think it's a combination of factors and it'll still depend on the ties you have in the Philippines that'll assure the VO that your intention is genuine. For examply, my uncle applied for a US visa when he was around 60 years old, brand new passport, zero travel history and only around Php 50k of saving in the bank. He got approved with a ten year multiple entry visa on his very first try


*If anyone's studying at Ryerson University, kindly send me a PM as I am in need of help and guidance

Thanks to you both! A really strong study plan and genuine documents would seal the deal.

@ micmic - Ako rin, I would approve the application of your uncle, hehe..

Hello!!!

Help namn po!!

Im planning to apply in lethbridge college in 2015SM
Ang prob ko is ung program n gusto ko kunin is sa sept pa available. But i need to be in canda before May sna. The college suggest na kumuha ako ng ibang course tpos mg shift n lng ako pg dting ng sept. Pro natatakot ako n bka pg inapply ko n ng study permit ma-refuse ako due to mis-match course.
I finished BS Entrepreneurial Management. Gusto ko sna i-upgrade duon, ang related course is Business Administration kso d pa available. So ang choice ko is Education assistant or Early childhood education since for the past 6 yrs im working as a tutor/nanny here in hongkong. Of ever I'll just write a strong study plan to defend my choice of program. Or okay lng b na sabihn na mgshi-shift ako next term?


Anyone???
Thanks

Will it be ok to share your reason of coming here sa May? F you apply early, it's possible na you'll get your sp within 3mos and you can come here months bfore ng start of class. I know someone who came here 5mos bfore ng class..

Hi Aly911!

Well actually my husbands' work permit will expire feb 2015 and visa april 2015. Mgaaply xa ng restoration pra maextend p un visa/permit nya. Our PR application is actually on process na and since last sept ng issue cla ng new rules about Pr processing mas npahaba ang pghihintay nmin now while on process ang Pr he needs to have a valid working permit. Kya ang suggestion ng Immig lawyer nya is mg-aral ako dun pra maappply ko ng SOWP Un husband ko.

So I got word from some of my best professors that they cannot give me a recommendation letter because their advice is that it has to come from my thesis advisers. The professors I asked were the ones that I had great relationship and at the same time did their PHD in one of the top 10 Unis of the world. Unfortunately, my thesis topic back then wasn't related to their specialization. Not that I'm downplaying my advisers but I thought that my original choice is better since they know me more and the still remember me even if it was already almost a decade since I graduated The bad news is that one of my advisers is not in our school anymore and I cannot find her! Waaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!! I need atleast two reference persons so now I'm panicking as I want to lodge my school application within the week

References don't need to be all from the academe. In my opnion, references should be people who can attest to your character, not only as a student or researcher but a person.

Hi sweetnovember14! Thanks for these tips. Will will surely keep this in mind when I am in the stage of making my SOP. Nga pala, need pa ba ipa assess yung TOR/Diploma sa WES or para lang yun sa immigrant?

@ scorpio1641 Sa ontario ka rin pala.. I will browse nga rin yung Centennial College, sana may course na available in IT. Naku, lahat ng work experience ko involve retail sales. Though later part ng career ko, around 3 years, nasa middle management position na ako. All in all, nasa 7 years experience na rin.

@ wondergirl1992 Congrats! Sana we will also be blessed with a visa soon..

Sorry for the late response Blessed mom. With Regards to the assessment of TOR/Diploma, I don't think you need to, yun saakin I sent it as it is.

Thank you for the reply DocRZ. I have the same sentiments about this requirement but unfortunately, it is specified that it must be from my previous professors. I'm just lucky that almost all my professors still remember me despite being almost a decade out of school. I guess my unique hairstyle during college was quite memorable to them ;D
