Applications filed through NS --> Buffalo (Filed from USA)

[smallduck]

Actually, I did that in purpose,

I was praying to god every moment to get my PPR before the deadline of my tuition fees which are 6500 $ per semester (international tuition fees), but it did not happen, the tuition fees date was July 28, 2010, and i had to pay the fees because even my study permit was about to expir next month, and i already applied for the renwal on Augest, and expected CIC to contact the school at any moment to check my attendance, and fees. I got very frustrated, and started my semester on Sep 7, 2010.

The PPR came to my email on Sep 15, the great thing here was by the help and mercy of the greatest god is that Sep 15 was Wednesday, and the PPR letter says that they accept applicants to come in person to Buffalo on Tuesday and thursday only, so i ran to my cousin asking him seriously to go to Buffalo the day after which he did by the help of god.

here was the serious matter:

The school refused to adjust my tuition fees for the current semester to be a domestic fees rather than international which will be $1600 per semester instead of $6500.

The other option was withdrawing the entire semester, and get my money back less $1000 (administrative expenses and medical insurance), and the deadline for this withdrawal was Sep 20 and their condition was to be landed not only having the PR visa on your passport, so i was dying to get the visa before that date and land before that date to show the school that i became a permanent resident (the landing stamp, and the COPR, which i did on Sep 17 Friday, then i went to the school in the last day of the deadline Sep 20 after the 2 days off (week end Sep 18, 19), and showed them my immigration papers, and withdraw the entire semester, and is entitled to the above refund.

I re applied for the winter semester which will be only $1600 per semester.

Thank god so much for his mercy and help.

Wow, such a long and interesting story. Thanks for sharing it here, I know exactly what you're experiencing because the out-of-state tuition and fee once was killing me . taking a look back at that time, that's huge money . it's good for me that now I get over with it. Doing a good job, paying tax to the States and waiting for the Canadian PR status. I'm will share my story here with you guys if I have any, along the way....

I am in a similar boat like you, my current work permit expired…sent for an extension which gave me another 2 months to work until they make the decision… have also applied for a Study permit – again the International tuition fee is killing…so if nothing comes for me…I would have to take up a course with them.

I am glad it worked out for u…best wishes for the future!!

Hello, there!

I have read your impressive comments which reminds me of God's kind and love. I, therefore, want to write something here. I'm not as lucky as you guys. I was an F-1 and graduated last summer. After that, I stayed in the US under OPT. I filed my application to Sydney, NS in Aug 2009, from which I had waited and prayed for a whole year. My OPT expired on July 10 this year. As I worked at my school as a TA, I cannot apply for H1-b. Also, as I missed the deadline to apply for the scholarship, I cannot renew my F-1 status by enrolling another program. As per the International Student Office, I can legally stay there until September 10. I asked God if I need to keep waiting there or go back to China (my hometown) to build my new life. God didn't answer me directly but did show me that I should go. Anyway, I left the United States and "landed" at Beijing at the beginning of August. Two weeks later, God made me find a job, the company of which I've looked for for years. On September 11 (and 09/12, Beijing time) I got the "Ready to Visa Letter" which is so called PPR by email. I thank God, not only because I finally got PPR not waiting much time, but also because I find it's very possible for me to find a job in Canada through our company's worldwide network. I don't know how to express my appreciation to God other than saying "Thank You!"

Your comments encouraged me to write this. I wish you have a wonderful new life in Canada!

thanks much for sharing man!

there is a huge difference in fees we pay as a landed immigrant and foreign national... even when i tried to learn French from a local university, landed immigrants pay half the fees foreign national pay.. i thought to wait till i get my PR to go for it...

people who live in Canada see this big diff in everything (right from medicare facilities, credit cards, buying cars) as a foreign national and landed immigrant.

hope all eligible candidates receive their PR quickly. god willing

Thanks Anil_Toronto,

It is actually a big relief, i have a strong feeling that you will be getting your PPR before you take any courses as an international student.

wish you the very best of luck.

God bless.

You are completely right.

people who live in Canada can really see the difference between being a permanent resident and (visitor, student, or worker).

I hope too that all waiting candidates get their PR as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for your great comments and kind feelings toward others.

God bless.

Hi Friends

This refers to the application for permanent residence in Canada that you recently submitted to the Buffalo Regional Program Center.

Your submission indicates you do not meet the criteria set out in Regulation 11 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection
Regulations. (see Appendix C enclosed) (This one was checked for you)

You have 60 days from the date of this letter (which is sep 08,2010) to submit the full application, including the infomation listed on the attached forms. If your full application is not received within this time, we will assume your are no longer interested in immigration to Canada and we will close your file.

All of your application forms and documents are being returned to you in this package. No record of your application has been retained by this office. Please return this letter and the attached appendices when you resubmit your application.

They have returned my documents and rejection letter.I have copied the above stuff from the refusal letter that I have received from the buffalo office.

I need to know that within 60 days I have to resubmit my entire application to the Buffalo office or Nova Scotia in Canada.
Guys my Noc 0213 has been dropped, will my application be considered or not.

I have applied for the federal skilled worker program.

Guys, I am expecting answers from experienced guys or somebody who has been in my situation before

Thanks,
Lapore
