guys, few things i wanted to ask

1) i logged on into the visadropbox thing of gerrys, my old computer number (when i first submitted my passport) shows that my PP has been delivered back to me, however the new receipt+computer number i got after submitting my PP after my medical shows invalid tracking no; should i be concerned?

2)upon completing 9 papers of ACCA (by Dec God willing) i will be able to get my BSc (hons) in applied accounting from oxford brookes uni (in the UK) which is an internationally recognized degree... can i then apply as a MBA student part time (at someplace like UoT, McGill, Waterloo, York etc?) and do my ACCA part time as well? if so, what would be the procedure? or will i have to come back to Pakistan after finishing my ACCA and apply all over again?

3)I have given the fees and registered for 6 ACCA papers, however i have a total of 7 papers remaining, if i were to pass all six papers in my allotted time and have a clean record, what are the chances of getting an extension on my study permit so that i could complete the remaining paper?

1)Call Gerry's and ask them about the situation, the computer number should work.

2)Check out the universities that will they accept the OXFORD BROOKS university Degree. The admission to MBA in Canada is very competitive and requires GMAT along with experience.If you change your college or university and the level of study is same then no problem other wise you will have to inform CIC.In my opinion continuing ACCA as part time should not be a problem but you will have tough time taking them side by side.

3) High chances of getting study permit renewed.

1. You should have talked to Gerry's on this matter by now.

2. Doing part time studies will disqualify you from getting OCWP and PGWP. If you are studying in a non participating college then you already don't qualify for OCWP and PGWP.

3. You can extend your SP.

thanks guys,

so what would you advise/what do you think, would be the best course of action once i get my BSc, and want to continue further studies in Canada.. (the BSc is recognized by all Universities that i know of)


What is OCWP and PGWP? is it something to do with the work permit?... i will get an Open Work permit for LSBF as the program i am in has a co-op requirement!

OCWP is Off Campus Work Permit
PGWP is Post Graduate Work Permit

You need to be a student of participating institute in order to get them.

There is no such requirements for getting Co-op work permit. If co-op/internship is the part of your studies then you will get your Co-op work permit.

Quote: "To be eligible for a work permit, you must meet the following conditions:

You must have a valid study permit.
Your intended employment must be an essential part of your program of study in Canada.
Your employment must be part of your academic program, certified by a letter from a responsible academic official of the institution.
Your co-op or internship employment cannot form more than 50 percent of the total program of study.
"

These programes are good but first concentrate on ACCA , once you are there you will find many new and good options...e.g MBA , masters in accounting related field...
