Hello folks,
may I kindly know your opinion on my profile and chances before I submit my study permit application (I am admitted to this fall & my CAQ has just been issued so I am ready to submit but I am working on my LoE - home ties papers and stuff)
Academic record:
- High school: 98.9% - 5th rank on the country
- college: Excellent-Honour (GPA 3.9/4.0 ECE USA evaluators) - 5th rank also on the batch - Dentistry
- IELTS: 7.5
- NBDE 1 & 2 (that is a national board exam of the US required for licensing there)
Non-academic:
won couple of awards (1st place on the country) back in high school country e.g. Literary essay - Poetry recital
Home ties (most scary part for me :/)
*Current and future employment:
current : associate dentist in a private clinic - good salary in my country, but when currency converted it seems small (around 300 USD per month)
future: Already accepted as a teaching assistant in my faculty (Public University) but have not started yet (but got the proof that I was assigned the job)
*Living with two old parents:
Don't know how to prove this, but their national ID shows the address of our apartment that im gonna present its contract as stated below (not sure if this is enough ? :/)
P.S I am their only son living in the same city - got one sis in another city - others are abroad.
*Dad apartment (shows that Mom & Dad are living here and I live with them, so I will be getting back to them)
*My car (around 6500 USD worthy car)
Funding:
- Full Scholarship (Tuition - Living Expenses and housing - Airfare - Health insurance)
- My bank account showing 13000 CAD (same used for PR)
- other bank account with around 24,000 USD ( but I might think twice before presenting it, as its due to selling of our other apartment & I'm not sure if CIC would like the idea of a bulk of money deposited at once)
Program of study:
MSc Microbiology & Immunology - Faculty of Medicine - McGill University
Note: although it's a Medicine (not dentistry) program, but the supervisor is prof at both faculties of Medicine and Dentistry, and the research thesis will be on a dental microbiology project
Another note: I am assigned as a demonstrator in Oral Biology Department, where the MSc is supposed to grant me promtion into an assistant lecturer after I get back.
Future Plan: after masters, get back to home country, get promoted and then look for pursuing PhD in Canada or the US
Note: not sure if this is realistic - in CIC eyes - with me having a PR application in process ?
I am sorry for the long post, it's just I am witnessing CRAZY rejections for study permits, and I am extremely nervous that I would run into a roadblock of either having insufficient country ties, or taking my PR application as a sign that I am not getting back by the VO. although I am aware dual intent is allowed, but haven't come across a similar case)
and any rejection would cost me deferring of study and I'm not sure if it might affect my scholarship as well.
Any input is appreciated, thank you!
