Hey Poco! It just occured to me, When she filled up her Personal Information Form and Personal Study Plan, did she write anything about her plans after she finishes her course? Is there a need to mention what you plan to do after your studies? Will that affect the decision? Thanks!
I have no idea on the details of her study plan but I believe it would be better if you just mention the positive impact on your career of having a canadian education. This would, i think, would help convince IO that your purpose of studying in Canada is to improve your career in your home country and not intending to stay in Canada after you finish studying. You have to prove that you have no intention of staying in Canada and would go back home after you study.
Hi Poco,poco said:
Were you able to check your friend's application status online? I checked the canadianvisa website, online checking is not available for Temporary visa applications. Applicants are supposed to wait 45 days after submission of the medical exam results to the embassy, but I do hope they release the visa after 28 days (as the statistics shows).

"Personal study plan: a description of your proposed program of studies as it relates to your academic, technical, or vocational background". The description is vague, but check out the UK website <http://www.canada.org.uk/visa-info/student/e_study.htm>
"8. Study Plan - please submit a one page study plan which answers the following questions and includes any other information relevant to the processing of your application:
Why do you wish to study in Canada in the program for which you have been accepted? What is your overall educational goal? Why are you not pursuing a similar program in your country of residence/citizenship? What research have you done into studies in your country of residence/citizenship? How will this program enhance your employment opportunities in your country of residence/citizenship? What ties do you have to your country of residence/citizenship? If it has been more than 2 years since you have left full time education, please provide your C.V. (resumé). In the case of a minor applicant, what are your reasons for studying in Canada? What is your parents/guardian’s immigration status in their current country of residence?"
Some of these questions may not apply to us Filipino applicants (such as providing a CV). But if you applied to graduate school, the Personal Study Plan is very similar to the "Statement of Purpose" or "Statement of Research Interest" that was required by graduate schools, just make it less technical to make it easy for a layman to read. I hope this helps.

thanks for your help, poco and aeshkelon12..
Unfortunately, I already submitted my application last April 29 and in my personal study plan, i only wrote about the course description and how it would help my career.. but since the description in the Philippine website was so vague, i did not mention anything about ties to the country, or reasons why i am not pursuing the same program in the Philippines. It didn't occur to me to check the UK website. Had I known, I would have mentioned that I plan to have a business in the Philippines after my studies... Now I'm nervous as how that would affect their decision...
However, I have lived in the UK for 6 months as a tourist last year.. Do you think that would help me prove that I will go back to the Philippines after my studies?

Hi deadfishie,
I think showing your previous travel is a big plus. There's nothing to worry about not mentioning your ties to the country, it was not explicitly mentioned in the Philippine website. I only looked up the UK website because I wanted some guide questions for the Plan of Study.
Are you done with your medical exam? I received my medical exam notice five working days after I submitted my application.

Hi, aeshkelon12! no, my friend did not able to check the status of her application online. You are right, Canadian website does not provide online checking for temporary visa application. Anyway, she already received her study permit and is already here in Canada.

Hey sorry for the late reply. Thanks for everything!
My med exam notice just arrived today.. It took 10 working days for me, I sent it on April 29 but they told me they only received it last May 4.. Do people get rejected before or after the medical?

I will be going home to the Philippines after I receive my acceptance letter to apply for the work permit.
Please share your timeline and experience.

Hay...
Until now, I don't have any response from the embassy. I called their call center and they told me it is still in process.
