Hindi mo pala sinama baby mo, Venice? Gosh it must be very hard for you. I am the legal guardian of my 7 year old nephew at ngayon pa lang pag tinitingnan ko siya, naiiyak na ako eh.
Hindi pa namin sya pwedeng isama na puro unknown pa sa amin ang life ahead of us. Si misis breastfed si baby...she's super worried and cried the whole night. Choices should be made.

Sa UCI niyo po b for quebec is different sa UCI na binigay sa inyo sa SP? and inquire ko din if yung current employer mpo ng issue ng certificate na your on Study leave or something equivalent to that? Napapansin kpo kasi lahat ng na aapprove is ganun. Thanks po

Hi maryjoane, maraming salamat. Hindi kami umabot sa application talaga...mejo tanga yong consultant kasi namin sa QSW. Our fault kasi hinayaan din naming sila magprepare ng docs for the certificate to qualify sa QSW. Bumalik yong documents kasi mali-mali daw yong mga forms then wala yong creditcard form na payment namin. Tanga nga talaga...Nasayang yong 60k namin.

Nasa development work kami ng wife ko...yong experiences namin nasa NGO so project-based lahat. JUst this year, we opened our consultancy firm where clients namin is LGU then partner NGO namin dati...Katatapos ko rin lang mag-masters last May...Mejo stress yong application namin kasi super rush yong pagpilit kong matapos thesis ko. Worry pa nga kami kasi nagmasters na ako then kukuha pa ako ng advanced diploma. But I justified it naman sa SOP. So, sa tanong mo, ang sabi ko lang na yong course would be beneficial sa mindanao-based consulting firm kasi nga puro manila-based yong kinukuha na consultant.

I think tama sila Mic-Mic, you just need to be honest and provide evidence na rin...the VO googled my wife's name trice sa whole duration ng application namin.

^^ nope, di na yan kasi concern ng visa office. But your school usually has an international student centre that can refer to you to homestays or places for students.

Ako, makikitira muna sa relatives until makahanap ng sariling lugar :)
good for you scorpio1641 hehe. thank god may tutulong skn dun na makahanap ng accommodations makakamenos ako kung sakali kse ang budget ko for board and lodging $700 masyadong mahal skn hahaha

Hello Guys,

I received my passport sa vfs but sad to say my application has been refused.
With reasons na they are not satisfied i have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada to pay tuition fees for the course or program of studies that i intend to pursue, that they are not satisfied that i would leave the country at the end of my stay, considering factors, employment prospects in country of residence and current employmet situation.

I need help, i am considering the option of reapplying.
I am a nsg fresh grad(2014)
Nov'14 board passer
I applied a post grad coronary care nursing cert program at Seneca College, a 1 year program
So devastated and confused right now
Help?

To make you guys understand my situation more, ito pala
The course fee was 13500CAD and i already paid half the tuition.
I submitted my dad's bank account containing 700,000 plus pesos for my show money and included land titles pa for additional points. When regards to employment, well i am unemployed as xmpre after graduating i had to study and take the board. And i don't have work experience since if nursing ka first step after passing is to do volunteer work lang which is not considered work experience. My point is sana the money that will be spending on volunteer training, dito ko nlg sa study and work program na kukunin ko e spend. Pero i just don't know how to prove it. I need advice on what i can do. I was told i can refund my tuition pero i think another try sana kasi i spent time, money and effort on this. Sayang naman ung 10k sa mediical na hindi pa expired lol hay

Hi, Elapar. Sorry to hear about the refusal
Clarify ko lang, yung 700k mo, not including the first sem tuition that you paid for, right? Kasi 700K is barely enough to cover for your tuition and your living expenses of CAD10,000 ... wala ka bang kasamang spouse or child?
Anyway, mukhang mahirap yata for nurses to get in ngayon. Honestly, I can't see anything wrong with your profile, except for the fact that you have no work history. A stable work history kasi is needed to establish your employability and ability to adapt to life in the Philippines again (theoretically) after you finished your course.
Did you write an Statement of Purpose ba?

Yes, my 700k plus does not include the first installment of My tuition. And we were not even planning to touch that fund for the payment of the second half so it means i have more than enough. My counselor kasi advised i should have around 17000CAD sa available funds for stay ko. Which i think is correct if 10k plus the 2nd haf tuition. Hay maybe i should have submitted more bank statements nlg. So next theory would be maybe cause of the ITR, my dad's business ITR kasi declares a small amount, common naman yata ito sa atin so that we could pay less taxes. So nag ka conflict sa na state ko na 30000-35000CAD na annual income ng dad ko na nilagay ko sa SOP. I am so confused. Even sa employment thingy, kasi un nga ang problem, fresh grad tapos volunteer work lang ako pde malagay, kme pa magbabayad. Then it doesnt give pa the assurance that they will hire you as staff after volunteer. Gs2 ko sana e point out yan sa kanila pero baka bad impression sa system dito sa Phil. Haha kaya i need help. Am i still able to reapply if push through ako Sept intake? And pano po gumawa ng SOP kapag na refuse na? Meron pa dyan sample guys? For basis lang

I'm sorry to hear the bad news elapar and zai.

Zai, you can reapply ASAP. If I remember it right, floje immediately reapplied with just minor alterations on his SOP which includes something like"for your reconsideration". If you read a few pages back, you will surely see his post about it. Goodluck!

Elapar, did your father provided a signed letter stating that he will support you? Medyo kulang yata ng konti yung 700k kasi sa tuition pa lang and transpo, baka maubos na yun and our main reason to be here is to study and working is just an added benefit for experience. I suggest you add more show money. Acquiring nursing skills in Canada makes you eligible to stay here so the dual intent is very evident. They cannot have bias against it but having zero work experience and property back home further emphasizes the possibility of staying for good. Pwede mo sabihin na pag graduate mo, may leverage ka sa peers mo since may training ka abroad. Maybe also mention companies you plan to target after graduating. Edit your SOP and start with a strong thesis statement and then support that. You already know what you want to prove so begin with that. Tapos explain explain nalang hehe Goodluck and kaya niyo yan!

Friends, 8 weeks na today ang application nila missis... Mahigit one month na since nung medical passed sila... sana lumabas na visa nila. Sa Monday na start ng work niya sa school baka magalit yung principala t di na siya tanggapin :( Please paki sama nalang po kami sa prayers ninyo. Salamat!

Thanks for the advice micmic! Can i still make it pa ba for Sept intake if I reapply? Hay tama should have included other bank statements as well. Yes, i do have an affidavit of support na notarized pa. Can i reapply online? My 1st application kasi was through vfs so paper based. Its a hassle kasi travel cost and time, hour plane ride pa kasi to manila. Is it ok not to include the ITR nlg in my 2nd app? And what about the medical if i reapply? What will i show? Hay i'm bad at this SOP. Is ther anyone who can message me privately with regards to this matter. Hay hndi ako writer hehe NEED HELP talaga. Sobrang feeling sorry talaga ako sa mom ko :(
