hi all,

lolzzz..ok I help him here...but not able to understand that from the solution to his problem...how u guys will get help...

anyhow...he has a good academic profile. good work experience...in case he has given GMAT it will again brighten his prospects of getting into a good MBA program.
Also in case not very keen on GMAT then look for Thompson River University's MBA or Royal Roads University Master of Global Management..

I need to know from his end that what exactly he is looking for in Canada in terms of education.

I would strongly recommend him to go for MBA.

I hope you guys have answer to your queries as well....

in case want more information...get in touch at singh.monika.aditya@gmail.com....cheers..

HELLO FRIENDS! Once I was also a candidate for Study Permit from Pakistan. This forum has really helped me to prepare my application and update my knowledge. So I thought to share my experience, which may help someone to take appropriate decision.

My Profile:
BBA & MBA from Pakistan (average grades around 75%)
3.5 yrs job experience at a commercial bank
with no gap between my studies & job

Course & Institution:
George Brown College, Toronto (Intake JAN 2013)
1-year Post Graduate Certificate in Human Resource Management (with co-op)

Financials:
Account Maintenance/Balance Certificate from Bank
I have showed my personal bank statement of 6-months of CAD$ 30,000 = PKR 3.000 Million (nothing else like property documents or certificate of deposit or sponsorship letter)
TIP: Minimum bank statement must be equivalent to your FULL FEES + 1-YR LIVING EXPENSEs ($12,000) + $2000 (OTHERS/RETURN TICKET)

Study Permit/Visa Application:
My classes were from 07-JAN 2013 so I filed my application on 15 September 2012
Got Medical Call on 24 October 2012
Medical Done/Passport resend to Embassy on 01 November 2012
Visa/Passport received on 18 December 2012
16 months visa has been issued

Documents Submitted:
SOP (Statement of Purpose defining your background, experience & goals) not officially required by embassy (Optional document)
Original + Attested copy, All educational documents (certificate + transcript)
Original + Attested copy, Proof of current and previous employment (Preferably with Job Description/Reporting Line on letter head)
Original + Attested copy, Police Certificate
Original + Attested copy, Letter of Acceptance from College (Un-Conditional)
Proof of Fees Payment (Invoice + Draft Copy)
Original + Attested copy, IELTS Certificate

Be confident if your case is genuine you will definitely get the visa, don’t try to do any manipulation in any documents, must keep three months time for visa and make strong financials docs. Some people think if they are applying in Ontario may not get visa due to huge population of Immigrants in the province or applying to college as compare to university have rare chance of visa, but that’s not the fact.

AFTER YOU REACH CANADA:
Text Books Cost $500-700 depending on your course, you will be lucky to find used text books at half price from previous students or online classifieds
You must have at least 4-5months living expenses (Around $4000)
Not officially allowed to work part-time for initial six months (Except On-Campus which is very rare)
You can get on-cash job (un-official) through personal references only at with low wage rate
Don’t expect to make good amount of money (specially to support your tuition fees) in initial six months all depends on your luck
In first month you will definitely have some extra expenses because you are new there and don’t have anything from grocery, snow shoes, blanket/mattress, etc be prepared for it
Single room rent in a shared accommodation is from $350-$600
Must pay at least 1month advance rent and 1month deposit to get accommodation
Monthly Travelling Cost $130-150, Meals $200-300, Min.Mobile Charges $25-30, Other Exp. $50-100
Don’t spend too much money for buying winter clothes from Pakistan, because you must buy them from Canada to match the weather conditions.

BEST OF LUCK

Is my understanding correct....

Graduate Retention Program (GRP)
What is the Graduate Retention Program?
Saskatchewan is thriving and opportunities for graduates have never been brighter. The Graduate Retention Program rewards you for building your future in Saskatchewan by providing a rebate up to $20,000 of tuition fees paid by eligible graduates who live in Saskatchewan and who file a Saskatchewan income tax return.
The Graduate Retention Program became effective January 1, 2008.
The program has been expanded to include graduates from across the country and beyond who pursue their careers in Saskatchewan!
From 2000-2007, the Government of Saskatchewan had two previous graduate tax benefit programs for graduates from post-secondary programs.
Who is Eligible?
You are eligible if:
you graduated from an approved program after January 1, 2006;
you already live in Saskatchewan; or
you are moving to Saskatchewan.
An approved program must:
be equivalent to at least six months of full-time study at an eligible institution;
result in a certificate, diploma, or undergraduate degree; or,
provide journeypersons certification.

Thanks Yasir for your valuable experience and sharing details. Can you please email me your SOP at : ayaz_b85@hotmail.com

 

[ayaz123]

You have to show the bank statement after paying the fees or before it and can it be possible that I show my cousin in Canada paid the fee for me and I will return him when I get there or something ??
Please share your experience Yasir or anyone what did you do??

If your are showing after paying your tution fees then U have to proof of fee submission with the bank statement.
You can also show you statements before paying the tution fees.


To me, if u have relatives in canada it might convey the message that you do not have strong ties with your country.
I think you shouldn't mention about your cousin.
Others might advise u some better suggestion
