I'm no expert.

But I've applied to Universities the same way u did instead of taking a consultant's advice.

All the information you need is available online in the vfs india site. So it shouldn't be a problem.

If/when I get admits, I'd be applying for the visa on my own. It wouldn't harm if you some 20K goes into your Canada/Study funds. Save it for that.

I suggest you do.

But it's your call. Good luck :)

You are all set to apply for visa on your own. consultants (mostly) don't charge fee as they get commission for colleges. But in your case, they will demand 20 to 30k as they won't get anything from Uni because Universities do not entertain consultants and you have already obtained LOA. Unless you feel there is a dire need, no need to approach any consultant. Review the checklist, get all the documents in order and go for it.

cheers!

Yesterday I applied for study permit and uploaded all docs asked in checklist. But today I received message in Mycic account regarding Eligibility verification for OCWP, for which I'm not eligible as my program will start in January 2014. What should I do now? The form asks questions such as previous institution, province etc and all options are Canadian institutes and provinces. I'm worried what to do now!
Will appreciate any sincere help.

Bro its just eligibility verification like before applying online u must have answered few question to check whether you are eligible for study permit or not,,, if you go for it will have a question about 6 months of full time study in past 12 months which u will answer no therefore u r not eligible so leave it and wait for CIC response ,, good luck
