Hi, After 4 long years I am back on this forum :) I am an international PhD student and I am going to finish my PhD in a few months. I guess I will get a PGWP eventually. Now, along with a Canadian citizen, I wish to incorporate our startup soon. It will be in computer engineering domain. My...

Its mandatory socially, not legally.

Contrary to your beliefs I think Montreal is quite expensive compared to other cities in Canada. Don't get fooled by price tags. The VAT/GST and PST taxes + MANDATORY TIP (wtf?) is pretty high :) But if you are smart, you can file for tax returns each fiscal year and you get some money back(~...

A hostel may not be the best idea then. I am staying elsewhere as HI is quite far.

Thats what I always wonder when I see people on this forum giving away their FB IDs, mail accounts, family details, Date of Birth, flight details and even contact numbers in posts! Its quite funny and troubling at the same time :-/ Only a moderator can help you now. If somehow those posts are...

I have my original CAQ which they sent through Canada Post. I got it in 10-11 days after my online approval of CAQ.

Interesting read!

No issues boss! This is nothing :)

UoP is good but not all universities are that awesome in service. CoEP issued me 4 transcript copies in in 2 days too whereas some universities take 15 days and demand docs collection by hand. Check with your universities. My Canadian university asked me for "transcripts of last 2 degree courses...

What are the complications?

Transcripts are always original as they are provided by your university in a sealed envelope. Only those are valid. If you have opened them and then photocopied them and are trying to send then its quite rare that a university will accept them. However, my university had asked for two...

Lots of people have got their visa it seems. Montreal bound folks, care to join this thread?

Aarey, no need to get 8 lacs as loan. Just show your/guardians savings that too as a backup source (around 3-4 lacs is enough). Otherwise funding letter works well. But ask others well before deciding anything.

Don't waste money on Visa consultants. Canadian visa process is pretty straightforward. Read everything carefully including VFS site and Study Permit Application guide. People on this forum are helpful. Don't hesitate to ask anything. But please search previous threads/Google before asking though.

Congrats. If you like the prof and research, look no further. Thats what matters the most. Give your IELTS ASAP and show some backup funds. You will get visa for sure.

I don't know about his university, but I'm being covered from 15th Dec onwards valid from the moment I reach a Port of Entry in Canada and even on vacation to home country/study related visit for upto 2 months during studies.

Is it just me or everyone can see you spamming the board with "Let me know I can buy you a ticket" messages?

I think he is talking about travel insurance. Its not that beneficial if you are being covered by a health insurance plan from your university upon arrival. Don't go for travel insurance now. Its not worth the money spent as you would just be insured while you are flying.
