i got admission in LSBF....will join for Aug Session inshallah,,,
The student advisers are really helpful ,,your student adviser will guide you through the process. and LSBF has Immigration Consultant, He'll review your papers(if you want to) before you submit to CHC for free of costs :D .....

Q1
Step 1: fill out the form
Step 2: send them 50% of your total tuition fees
Step 3: get the LOA
Q2
you have to prepare you papers according to Checklist. i think there are many pakistani students here,,,they might able to help you with checklist
Q3
Again it varies country to country. i got my visa within one month(check the timeline in my profile),,,as far i know, CHC pakistan requires more time to process visa than bangladesh.
the avg timeline(pakistan) may be 8 - 10 weeks ..

hey...sorry for late,,

sandrakhan said:

LSBF has a Co-op internship programme....according to LSBF you will receive a co-op work permit along with an open work permit which will allow you to work 20 hours a week.
I just got the visa,,,but not the study or work permit,,,so i really cant comment on this,,,all permits are issued by the Canadian boarder Service Officer at the port of entry. once a student step on Canadian soil he reviews the papers and issues the permits inshallah. You cant say from home that you'll definitely receive permit or anything. once i'll go through that phase, only then i can give you the correct information about it.

Can you explain about loan letter,,,,i cant comment based on this little info,,(amount, from whom etc)

but i am giving you some general info, which might help you

in order to get a Letter of Acceptance from LSBF you have deposit 50% of total tuition fees. this doesn't have anything with the sponsorship. it's for securing your seat at LSBF. if your visa get rejected LSBF will return your tuition fees(except administrative cost+ courier fees...less than CAD $250, dont remember the exact figure probably $150+$60) but condition applied..Please check the Terms and Conditions of Application form.

If you use loan letter for sponsorship make sure that the loan+other funds(if you can show) is good enough enough for high commission. the significant points you should look(for refund policy) are

If a student’s VISA application has been refused, then the fees paid will be refunded less an administration charge of $150 (plus any courier and transfer charges) on production of the following documents: (1) Copy of the VISA refusal letter (2) Copy of the student’s passport showing both a photograph and signature; and (3) where the payee was not the student, an original authority letter from the student authorising the repayment to the payee. Applications for refunds under this section must be made in writing at least 15 days before the commencement date of the course (published date). It is the student’s responsibility to satisfy themselves that they could comply with the notification guidelines prior to making an application. In circumstances when notification under this clause will be impossible, an application by the student forms a waiver of the rights under this clause.

If a visa application is refused on the grounds that the student failed to provide necessary documents, demonstrate adequate financial support or other reasons for which the student is accountable, the School accepts no responsibility to refund under section 5.The student is held responsible if the visa application has been made late and their LSBF enrolment has already processed.

i suggest you to Contact LSBF...the student advisor will help and explain you with this terms, suggestion regarding funds etc.

but if there is anything you want to here from me then pls dont hesitate

Thanks sir,
the information provided has assured me that there is high probability that the student will not get the refund.. especially when you say that the refund application should be made 15 days earlier than course commencement.. It is the embassy which often delays application and student doesn't know the result of his application..

anyway thanks for the advice, we will try to get admission in some other college/ university.

each and every college has its own refund policy. if you deffer your course to the next semester and then you apply for the refund, you'll get plenty of time....in this process you can apply for refund even 2 months before commencement date....this is what i planned before applying for visa

and so far i know it's a rumor that lsbf doesnt refund tuition fees. you better talk to lsbf about their refund policy before accusing such thing...

I had heard this rumour and wanted to confirm. This policy is rubbish.. to apply for refund 15 days earlier than class commencement...if a student doesn't get the visa his/ her fee should be refunded unless he/ she doesn't use any fake documents in the visa application.
