International Student Inquiry

[katrinmelani]

Hello,

Good day! I would like to know more information about the international student process. I am currently living here in the Philippines and my friend from Canada is very willing to assist me by doing a sponsorship so I can come and study there on this September. Can you tell me more about how:

a. Student loan works
b. Study Permit works


Thank you very much for your assistance.

Your chances of approval are much lower with a friend paying; people don't pay tens of thousands of dollars for a friend's studies. You should have your own funds or have a family member sponsoring your studies. You need to show at least $25,000.

a. You need to research loan requirements in your own country. You won't qualify for a loan in Canada.

I am attending seminars in an agency and they said sponsorship of a friend works..
I just want to ask as well please, it says in the website that I need to have guaranteed Guaranteed Investment Certificate that have 10,000 CAD, is this going to be different with the tuition fee that I am going to pay and the bank account that I will show?

The 10,000 cad is not part of your tuition fee.

 

[katrinmelani]

And what will it be for? Is it going to be a different one for my show money/ bank account as well?
If a friend is sponsoring do I need to have this 10,000 CAD in the bank account of Canada still?

Agencies say anything to get you to pay them. As I said, people don't pay tens of thousands of dollars for friends to go to school, hence why such apps are generally not accepted. The $10k GIC is a part of your funds for cost of living.

How much are you paying the agency? Your "friend" cannot sponsor you. Your application will be rejected.

Okay yeah maybe this is correct. How cruel is that.. part of the cost of living so what if my cousin from Canada is the one who will help, is it more likely not to be approved because it is a family member they might think that I will not go back anymore in my country?

Well more likely 1,300 CAD. ohh okay, so they must say that in the first place right?

A cousin is still not really a positive; same as with a friend, a person generally doesn't pay that much money for a cousin's education. People who pay for education are generally parents, spouses, grandparents, sometimes older siblings, sometimes aunts/uncles.

Hi,

Is my mother's first cousin ( I call him uncle) who lives in Canada eligible to sponsor me as a student? Can he sponsor my living costs only if I can pay for the tuition fee by myself?

Your mother's cousin is not a close relative, so high chance of refusal.

Hi,
My study permit got expired on Mar-30-2020 and applied for extension on Feb-13-2020 but got rejection due to reason being-CAQ not submitted.

But by the time I get a decision my course will end in July 2020 and legally I have to stop my studies now. can anyone tell how this thing works?

You need to defer your studies until you once again have a valid study permit. You are not allowed to study or work. Note that this will leave you ineligible for a PGWP.
