Hi All,

My husband has applied for a student permit to study at a College in Vancouver (Co-Op Network Administration), which would entitle me to an open work permit.

We have more than enough funds to support ourselves and we have properties (ties to South Africa)?

Can anyone advise whether they had a similar application and whether it was successful?

We used Global Visas.

Its been 4 weeks since our application was sent in.

Look forward to your replies!

Did you use an agency? We used Global Visas, our agent said the process usually takes about 2 months!

I think it has to do with the strike, it has caused a slight backlog (this is what my Global Visas case worker told me today).

Goodluck.

Hoping to find out about our medicals this week.
