Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

[peej06]

peej, i think working for fulltime requires that you are on a "school break" and since your school hasn't started yet, baka there is no "break" yet ;D

hmmm, you have a point. ask ko nalang si manila office then iconfirm ko dito

Pag refused ba yung visa umaabot pa rin sa 2 months? Or they refuse you right away? My application is almost 8 weeks na.. Waiting for the result is so depressing. Haha hindi nman siguro ako hihintay ng 2 months tapos refuse lg nmn? #fingerscrossed

mine took 11weeks 4days bago naapprove then sa website nila that time ang current processing time is 8weeks.

pwede kang mag "ninja". its between you and the employer anyways. lol

go to the nearest service canada office and get your SIN number right away. the one that starts with a 9. isa yan sa documents na hahanapin nila.

that and the void check. magbukas ka na rin pala ng bank account mo para ma sweldohan ka. hehe

welcome to alberta peej06

Ninja is risky and might be better to wait for a while, get a driver's license, look for job prospects first, study how a resume and interview is done here, etc. Andito ka na so ingat ingat din. Reason why I say this is because somebody got caught here and sayang naman This was in 2013 though and the info came from my cousin (katrabaho niya yung nahuli na international student din). ;D

Why did it take 11 weeks? Did they request additional documents from you? It's really hard waiting for the result, I'm getting paranoid all the more another day passes lol

Pwede naman mag ninja if u can live with the risk pero I also wouldn't recommend it. Aside from the risk paano pag nainjure ka o may emergency? Mahirap na..

 

[mic-mic]

Ah yes, a point that I missed out. If nag ninja ka, since di ka pa covered ng school insurance mo and hindi ka documented na nagtatrabaho sa employer, pag napilayan ka or nabalian, lahat yun sagot mo out of pocket kasi wala ka insurance. Not to scare anyone pero depende na din sa risk appettite ninyo and financial situation. Unless siguro if freelance photographer, web designer, etc pero yung iba dun humihingi pa din ng resibo hehe

So bottom line is avoid unless life and death situation na po

I'm really thankful for this forum because I wouldn't have known about the post grad work permit issues if not for the information on this thread. I almost applied to a private school (that wasn't a degree granting institution) and that would have made me ineligible for a PGWP, sayang sana yung aaralin ko. So, thank you to all those who provide info on this forurm!

In my own small attempt to give back, just sharing that St. Luke's Extension Clinic in BGC accepts credit card as payment. I remember asking here before about modes of payment sa St. Luke's, so now I can confirm that they accept cash and credit card. I did my upfront medical exam last Wednesday and I paid for the exam fee in cash while the additional tests I paid for using my credit card.

Its not about the degree kasi nagragrant ang school ng certification.
Its base if the school has a DLI (designated Learning institution).
Meaning its a credited school.
If there is no DLI you cant finish your application.
If you finish anything from a school with DLI you will get your PGWP.
Again, its not about if you get a degree or not.

Degrees are granted by universities for taking a 4 year course.

Hi kapatid!

From what I gather kasi, attending a DLI does not necessarily mean you will be eligible for PGWP because the DLI # means the school is eligible to accept international students and therefore recognized by CIC, but it does not necessarily mean that the programs offered by the DLI will be eligible for post grad work permit.

I agree with you that it is not about whether you get a degree or not because you can be eligible for PGWP after completing a certificate or diploma course but only if from a public school.

From the CIC website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-postgrad-who.asp

In addition, you must have graduated from:
- a public post-secondary institution, such as a college, trade/technical school, university or CEGEP (in Quebec), or
- a private post-secondary institution that operates under the same rules and regulations as public institutions, or
- a private secondary or post-secondary institution (in Quebec) offering qualifying programs of 900 hours or longer leading to a diplôme d’études professionnelles (DEP) or an attestation de spécialisation professionnelle (ASP), or
- a Canadian private institution authorized by provincial statute to confer degrees but only if you are enrolled in one of the programs of study leading to a degree as authorized by the province and not in all programs of study offered by the private institution.

Before po kasi, I was accepted into the Montessori Training Center of British Columbia and while they are recognized as a DLI, they are a private institution and only have certificate courses. I also looked at MTI Community College, Stenberg College, Sprott-Shaw, but read about some people who had their PGWP applications rejected due to their programs.

All I'm saying po is that through this forum, I learned about these issues so to lessen the risk, I changed plans and tried to apply in a diploma program in a public post-secondary institution. I will be the first to admit that I am not an expert at this and could be mistaken, which is why I opted to take the "less-risky" route and attend a pubic school.

Ohh Gets gets.

If not hindi pwede.

Paano po kung hindi makapresenta ng Certificate of Employment ng mga previous companies ko? Iniisip ko po kasi iattach ko nalang yung contract at ko at mga no objection letters sa online application

Hi guys! I have the same question also, since I'm in the process of completing my paperwork for application. Please correct me if I'm wrong kasi ito po ang balak ko na i-submit. I will submit the current COEs of my dad and aunt as sponsors, then I'll submit my own COE din. I'm planning to apply online. Saan po nakalagay yung part that you are encouraged to submit COEs din po for all past employment? Is this to help prove employment history, instead of just listing it down sa resume? For project based work na short time lang, or for companies that I can't get COE na (because they've folded up kunwari) can I attach contracts instead?

Sa current work ko po, I can get a COE. They can also write a letter stating that I can/will be hired when I finish my studies and return to the Philippines. Should I make one letter for this or should I make a separate COE stating my job details and another letter stating the agreement to hire me after studies?

I agree on this. Kahit mas mahal ang tuition ng public schools guaranteed na makakakuha ng PGWP.

The docs i plan on submitting are

1. Letter of acceptance with fee breakdown

2. College diploma (Ito lang sana gusto ko isubmit kasi TBH, i dont understand why nagsusubmit pa ng ielts, HS diploma and TOR, di naman po to specified sa cic)

2. Personal study plan/SOP

3. Affidavit of support from parents

4. Business permit, itr, and bank cert of parents

5. Land titles and car registers of parents (i dont have my own property)

6. Past & present COE (need po bang updated din ito?)

7. Police and NBI clearance


8. Proof of home ties - ano pong docs need dito?

Also, if im not supporting myself, need pa po ba ipakita own bank accounts ko?

Last question is need po bang notarized lahat ng docs? Sa intindi ko po, affidavit lang ang need notarized.

Everyone na nabless with visa, please help supply info po. Thank you!

Hi Guys

First of all, Isa ata to sa longest thread? haha anyway.. I would like to ask for any advice and Ideas on a Student Permit/Visa application

My infos are:
1. Student Visa application for Flying school at Langley Flying School
2. I was able to submit all basic application forms and documents
3. Last April 6 they requested for my NBI Clearance and I submitted it last April 8
4. We have enough funds. Currently I'm working at a Bank as an account officer (Assistant Manager Rank) - Malayo sa flying school but I think normal ata yun? any ideas?

Please share your ideas or experiences? Advance thank you guys! ;D ;D ;D

Oh nagsubmit pala ako ng application last March 1, Target date ko ay July 4 (start ng school)

Thank you!

The docs i plan on submitting are

1. Letter of acceptance with fee breakdown - This is the copy you get from the school
2. College diploma (Ito lang sana gusto ko isubmit kasi TBH, i dont understand why nagsusubmit pa ng ielts, HS diploma and TOR, di naman po to specified sa cic) - These certificates are needed by the school, CIC only need the letter of acceptance.

2. Personal study plan/SOP - I have no idea why there are two 2s.

3. Affidavit of support from parents

4. Business permit, itr, and bank cert of parents

5. Land titles and car registers of parents (i dont have my own property)

6. Past & present COE (need po bang updated din ito?)

7. Police and NBI clearance


8. Proof of home ties - ano pong docs need dito? - Proof of home ties is not a document. Its an idea that you have enough reason to return back to the Philippines. Can be argued in your SOP. Home ties are... lenght of your work in Philippines, your family member and any responsibilities if you have one.

Also, if im not supporting myself, need pa po ba ipakita own bank accounts ko? - No

Last question is need po bang notarized lahat ng docs? Sa intindi ko po, affidavit lang ang need notarized. - Yes affidavit lang

Everyone na nabless with visa, please help supply info po. Thank you!
