[Ralo]

Hello all,

I got confirmation for a Post-graduate diploma course in Canadian college, I am intending to go for MBA after that course. I have 4 years bachelor degree (BS in software development) and have 3 years of technical experience(software development). I have applied for Spet'2008.

The question is how much time would Canadian embassy takes for the process of student visa from Pakistan. How to convince the visa officer that I am a genuine student and will come back to Pakistan. 

Thanks & warm regards,

With no problems/interview and a complete application 4 weeks, don't forget you will require a medical as well.

How to convince the visa officer that I am a genuine student and will come back to Pakistan--
Show that you have enough bondings to return to Pakistan. You can do this by describing on a notarized paper mentioning your or your parents' wealth statement,  you can also put some lines in it that you definitely want to come back and serve your country. Your country needs you after you have a north American degree and experience. If your parents are old mention that you have to come back to be with your family.

Hope this helps and good luck.
