Hi mitz.saur! Welcome to the thread.

I don't think that it's going to be a problem. All you need to do is convince the VO that you are a genuine student and that after you graduate you will leave Canada.

Hi phynk and welcome to the forum! :)

You need to show money that could cover 1 year tuition plus cost of living for 1 year (10k CAD for the principal applicant which is you plus 4k CAD for the dependent which is your husband).
Hi thank you for answering my question. We are planning to bring a total of 23 CAD( $13kCAD for my tuition fee and the rest for the living expenses) is this amount of money okay?

And my regarding my husband can he come with me and get a open work permit if ever he decided afterwards to work in canada?

And regarding the supporting documents. My father in law will be supporting me to study abroad.

You're welcome phynk.

Yes, your husband may come with you. But that's the decision of the VO. Don't forget to add 4K CAD for your husband's living expenses plus expenses for your plane tickets.

You need to provide an affidavit of support from your father in law, including his certificate of employment or any document that shows proof of the source of his funds. You also need to provide any document that shows your relationship with your sponsor.

Thank you again for answering you've been a great help and this forum also is a great help.
My father in law is a sea man.And he has a high position already and he is willing to support us.

Can I ask another question? I have read a forum here that she and her husband got denied because the VO think that his husband does not meet the requirement of the embassy regarding his stay or vist.

- can my husband apply for an open work visa while I was applying for a student visa??
Or
-he can just accompany me and later apply for a student visa? I was wondering because he needs to do something also while staying there.

Thanks a lot for you're answers.

Praying for it!
Friends, I've just submitted my application. Waaaahhhhhhh!!!!!! ;D

Just realized that I was emailed an offer letter on Christmas and now I'm submitting my application sa araw ng pasko ng pagkabuhay. I hope that our prayers will be answered soon. I'm aiming to be there by August for my cousin's wedding.

Happy Easter everyone! :)

CIC recommends couples to apply together - in your case study permit for you and open work permit for your husband.

By the way, here's a tool from CIC's website to determine your eligibility to apply for a study permit and an open work permit for your husband.

Hi tipsy! Wala pa ba updates sa passport mo? :)

By the way, how did you explain your plans after your studies in Canada? You're currently working in the Middle East right? Did you mention that you are coming back to the Middle East or to the Philippines? I was just wondering. Hehe!

Hi wondergirl!

Kumusta? Di ba ikaw yung nag apply for a study permit for 6 months lang ba yun?

Regarding sa question mo, I have no idea eh. Wait lang tayo sa iba baka alam nila yung requirements. Kumusta pala life diyan? I'm still about to apply pa.

hello. Ngayon ko sana makukuha passport ko kasi last sunday ko sinubmit dahil nga walang office last thursday, kaso easter Sunday, kaya close din today. hehehehe...

kinonek ko lang ang nature of job ko from being a current accountant with my previous work as business analyst sa isang govt agency plus my degree sa Math. Then sabi ko babalik ako s pinas to look for a managerial position which sa tingin ko yung PGD ko will help me be hired. Tapos sinabi ko na I have gone to USA and Canada, I am considering both of these countries na mag-aral since may mga brothers ako na to stay with.

straight and mejo mataray ang letter ko...hehehehe...mabuti di nainis sakin. kasi sabi ko kasi sa huli I hope I have convince you that I am a bonafide student."

Thanks sa reply tipsy. Inabot ba ng 2 pages yun SOP mo? In my case, I have a sound system rental business, ako nagma-manage tapos ako rin yung sound technician at the same time. Kailangan ko pa ba i-describe yung nature of my job as a sound technician? Alam naman siguro yun ng VO di ba? Hehe. Yung kukunin kong program ay Music Industry Arts, wherein after I graduate from that program I will become a sound engineer. Do you think there's a good chance of approval for my SP? :)

@Floje, ni-review ko pala requirements ng OWP ni misis. Bakit nga pala sila humihingi ng returning ticket?

@scorpio, nakakuha si misis ng voluntary service approval sa Ontario Development Agency pero nasa Ottawa then sa Toronto ang Centennial. That's 5 hours by train ang kalayo. Unsa ka ha ang take ani sa VO?

I'm sorry but I have no idea about OWP Venice. Some forumers here were approved with study permit and OWP for their spouses. I just forgot their names. If you have time backreading, naa sila diri nga forum. :)
