I just don't want to take the pain of scouting for a proper grocery store immediately after I land. These things might help for a few days. More importantly, are we allowed to carry things like ghee and masalas. Even my lappy runs a pirated version of windows. I'm not sure if that might be a...

Yes.. I received visa for Jan intake on 23rd Aug itself

I had to first choose a prof of my liking and confirm whether he/she was willing to take me or not. I guess this is the case with every other dept in UofC, I might be wrong though. Once she agreed to take me in then I applied formally through the online application portal. There again, I spoke...

Yes.. I got my admission letter long back. I got it in June itself. I also got my visa a month back. My prof took care of everything. I asked her to fast track my admission process considrring the strike so she got that done through the department.

I'm looking for a room but I'll be coming only in December. Where exactly is the place? I'll be joining u of c amd am looking for a place around the foothills campus. Can you please assist me with this. How exactly does this whole process work? Can I book an accommodation from India itself. I...

The loan that you have is education loan or some other loan type? Because education loans usually cover your tuition fees and not any part of your living expense. Infact the bank will issue you loan for exactly the same amount as your tuition fee unless there are other clauses. So confirm what...

@saranjeet: It depends on your university's tuition fee. If the 20 lakh education loan covers it..well and good. Otherwise you need to show them proofs of you having sources to pay your entire tuition fee and $10-$12K to cover your living costs depending on where you are. So in a nutshell-...

No....GIC isn't at all necessary under university category. Education loan works good and apart from that you need to show an extra $10-$12k in your account for covering your living expenses. You can also show bank FDs and property documents. But its always advisable to shiw decent liquidity in...

@DocRZ: How did you fix your accommodation. Did you do it in advance or found a place after reaching Calgary? Need help with accommodation man. I am gonna land there on 26th dec.

You need to do both. On the portal...scan and upload your transcript and provide email ids of your referees. If I am not wrong then you need to upload your CV too. While you send your official transcript hardcopy and degree certificate with degree statement through mail. So make sure you send...

@Kalyanpnd: once you get a call for medicals, it shouldnt take much time thereafter...and count the number of working days and not the actual no of days.. it helps :P. I got my visa approval mail on the 17th working day. Yours might take more time because you might have to undergo medical...

@kalyan: Yeah..you should probably wait to hear from them. It takes a little time so be patient. I knew about this in advance and hence got it done before applying itself. Nice man..PhD in UofT :) ..all the best. BTW when do you leave? as in when do you have to join the univ?

@Kalyanphd: Medical is required in almost all cases. VFS people will only tell you that its not mandatory but it is well advised to get medicals done beforehand and submit your application along with it. Otherwise it will unnecessarily delay your visa. Eventually you'll get a mail from CHC...

@kalyanphd: I applied under University category on July 31 with medicals done on July 23. Received confirmation mail on Aug 23. Do tell me if there's anything else I could help you with :)
