    Study permit proof of financial support question

    Wow so not only do you need to provide evidence of the funds, but also the source of the funds? It doesn't say that anywhere on the website: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare/get-documents.html#doc3 Having to explain source...

    Post Graduate Work Duration

    Hi there, This may seem like a straightforward question but here is the background. I am applying to do my Master's at University in Canada. The course is advertised to take between 1.5(16months) and 2 years. However, after contacting my department, I learned that I can take more courses each...

    Post Graduation Work Permit - Proof of Funds Needed?

    Yes, you are right. It would be so hard, if not impossible, to be successful if LMIA is involved. Well I guess I just need to try very hard to find engineering/office/non menial work. I need around 12,000CAD for expenses, and a further 12,000CAD for Proof of Funds for a total of 24,000CAD...

    Post Graduation Work Permit - Proof of Funds Needed?

    The CEC is one option for me, but I'm afraid they're quite strict with the 1 year work experience rule. Most likely I won't be able to do that. This is why I've applied under Federal Skilled Worker, works better for me based on what I have and can achieve. The only thing I'm wondering now is...

    Thanks jhal, I hope so too. I feel like the seasons have come and gone and here I am still waiting :D So tell me, how much funding do you receive? Better way to frame the question: how much money from your pocket was budgeted for these 2 years? I understand now that the MSc programs are all...

    Post Graduation Work Permit - Proof of Funds Needed?

    Just pulled from CIC's website regarding if you need proof of funds if you are in CA on the PGWP, but do not have the amount they require to apply for PR. SUCCESS: If you are invited to apply under the Federal Skilled Worker Program or Federal Skilled Trades Program, you will need to show that...

    Ah I see, you got into the Msc programme then. Well-done, I applied for the MEng because I couldn't afford the Msc, and I read that it's so hard to intl students to get in the Msc even. What was your gpa when you applied to the Msc?

    Post Graduation Work Permit - Proof of Funds Needed?

    Yes, but I would need to more than double my current funds to have proof of funds for a study permit.. I've waited 2 years to be where I am now. I don't have any help and I'm assuming I can't take any loans for tuition and the additional expenses for the second year you mentioned. But I'd try to...

    Post Graduation Work Permit - Proof of Funds Needed?

    Those are some great points. I saw that the salary was actually >60,000CAD but I gave myself a 10,000CAD penalty for being an immigrant :D My programme is actually 1.5 years, but I can finish it in 1 year if I do my project in the summer vacation so I will get it for more than 8 months. I have...

    Post Graduation Work Permit - Proof of Funds Needed?

    Ok thanks. What about when I apply for a study permit? Surely they will want to be convinced that I am leaving Canada upon graduation? If I tell them I am staying to look for work, will this have any impact on the amount needed to show as proof of funds when applying for the study permit? I...

    Post Graduation Work Permit - Proof of Funds Needed?

    Hi all, I have applied to the FSW programme for my PR but scored only 410 points. In order to increase my score, I have applied to do a Master's degree for 1 year at a Canadian University as an international student. Since I am self-funded, I won't be able to meet the funding requirements to...
