student visa application

[shanmug raj]

hello people,

i have got a conditional admit from carleton university for my masters program in Electrical and computer science engineering. As i am willing to take the route of paying up the tutuion fees and GIC instead of loan, i am not allowed by the university to pay the fees as my offer is conditional. Unfortunately the my provisional certificate, from the university appears to take longer than expected so will it be advisable to appear for the visa with a loan sanction letter for tution fees and a GIC??

Without UNCONDITIONAL offer letter nothing will move forward. Better to wait for that.

I have also applied for study permit with conditional acceptance from Simon Fraser University. I had inquired university about the conditional acceptance. I think there should not be problem applying with conditional acceptance.This is the reply I received from university:-

Thank you for sending this. Yes, this letter is fine to use for the purpose of a study permit application. For your reference, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) typically considers conditional offers of admission to be equivalent to a regular (non-conditional) acceptance letter. You will note from the IRCC policy manual (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/students/letter.asp -- see "Establishing acceptance to a designated learning institution") that a letter of acceptance should include "any conditions related to the acceptance or registration, such as academic prerequisites, completion of a previous degree, proof of language competence, etc." and in our experience many students are successful in applying for study permits based on a conditional letter of acceptance; therefore, I wouldn't anticipate any issues with this. With that being said, it would also be a good idea to provide evidence of your ability to meet the condition set out in the letter -- so if you have already enrolled in the online module referenced in the letter, I would recommend including proof of your enrollment in the module with your study permit application, so that the officer can see that you are taking the necessary steps as outlined in the letter.

Yes. You are right. Either unconditional or proof of satisfying the conditions will be required. Also , it depends on the school. Some schools do not issue a second acceptance letter (Simon Fraser? ), some do (Memorial University); not sure what's with Carleton.
