I'm an international student in my 3rd year at UBC. Right now..I'm in my home country Saudi Arabia for the summer and my visa just expired so I applied to renew it last week and filled in the application.
Also, I'm holding a valid Study Permit from Canada Immigration until 31 July 2014
However, my actual 4-year Bachelor Science study will finish on 20 April 2014, therefore, in the visa application, I requested my stay in Canada to be until April 2014 only. ( I was afraid that they will refuse my visa due to staying for additional months after I will be finished my study, so I limited the date to less than the validation date of the study permit).
I got all my documents package returned today becasue the cheque payment amount has changed recently! Anyways, they also provided another comment in a paper saying that:
" Please apply for as a visitor because study permit is valid until July 2014" !!!!!!!!!!!!
What the hell this comment should mean? How Do I apply for as a visitor if I'm requesting a student visa to continue pursing my degree?
I have no idea how to analyze this comment and there's no way we can contact the embassy via phone or email here in Saudi Arabia.
Also, do you think they would reject my application If I have two F's in my transcript and 1 C+? My current gpa is like 55% due to the loss of my father 5 months ago.
Can anyone help me with this?? Thanks in advance!
