Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

[imgoingtocanada]

Hi,

Questions po sana sa mga nakakuha na ng student permit. Mag aapply sana ako for student permit, kasama sana ang wife and mga kids. Alam ko na school muna ang kailangan kong applyan and alam ko ring ang wife ko open work permit ang kukunin. Ito po yung mga tanong ko, sana may makatulong.

Ang application for student permit, sabay na rin ba sa application ang open work permit ng wife ko? If not, anong mas maganda, student permit ko muna, then pag na approve na tsaka mag apply ang wife ko for open work permit? Yung sa wife ko, ano ba yun, visitor visa with open work permit? How about the kids, mga minor sila, mag aaral sana ng free sa public school, anong visa ang kailangang i-apply sa kanila? Sabay na rin ba?

thanks

Hi! Good day! I just few questions lang po sana regarding SDS. I’m planning to apply po sana for SDS.

1. Kailangan po ba yung account na pampurchase doon sa GIC 10,000CAD, sarili mong bank account? What if walang enough na funds bank mo? Okay lang po ba ibank transfer ng sponsor ko yung money sa account ko?


2. Ano pa po yung mga financial documents na hihingin ng embassy maliban sa 1 year paid tuition fee and GIC?


Thank you!

Thank you!

Yeah, its okay if someone transfers money to your account. As long as the money to the scotiabank goes from your account.
As for the other documents, you could attach your bank statement or your parents bank statement if they will sponser you

Hi! Thank you! Plan ko po sana is May 2019 intake. Okay lang po ba mago-open palang ako this month ng new bank account na gagamitin ko for wire transfer to purchase 10,000CAD sa Scotiabank?

Also, kahit na may receipt na ng 1 year tuition fee & GIC, para saan pa po yung additional financial documents?

Thank you!!

Yeah, its totally fine to open a new bank account now for the may 2019 intake, i opened mine last month for May 2019 intake as well.
They say that 1 year tuition fee and GIC is sufficient for the financial proof. I just attached the additional financial documents "to be safe" or "just in case" hehe

Hi! Congratulations po to everyone who's currently studying in Canada as international students. If it's okay, may I ask a few questions? I'm a 4 year bachelor of arts in psychology graduate, what's the equivalent of that in Canada? I was considering to study a 1 and a half year course regarding Brain Disorders Management and I'm unsure if I'm qualified for the course at all and if there will be a job market for me afterwards. All I know is that the course will be about helping and taking care of those people with various mental illnesses like dementia and schizophrenia etc. Any suggestions?

Hi. Balak ko po mag take ng either ng Business Analysis or Health Systems Management programs sa Fanshawe. Intake ko sana is May 2020 pa. I read somewhere na it took 8 months before makuha ang letter of Admission? And this is needed para makapag bayad ng tuition fee then mag apply ng Student Permit. May I know anong timeline po ng mga nakapag apply and nagaaral sa Fanshawe? Salamat po!

Age: 47
Application: SDS paper based (no agent) at VFS Manila
SP Application date: 26 September 2018
SP Approval date: 31 October 2018
DLI: Durham College (Oshawa campus)

Timeline:

2017 Sept - Applied directly at Durham College for 2018 Sept intake
2017 Nov - IELTS exam
2017 Dec - IELTS result (overall 7.5: L 8, R 6.5, W 7, S 7.5)
2018 March- Submitted my transcripts to Durham College
2018 June - Received unconditional LOA from DC

• Requested DC to defer me to January 2019 intake because I was not confident I would get my SP approved in time.
• Did upfront medical. Required additional sputum test due to slightly hazy xray result.

2018 July - Paid 1 year fee at Durham College
2018 Aug - Transferred CAD$10,200 to Scotia bank. Got my letter of instruction 3 working days later.
2018 Sept - Applied for SP at VFS Manila on 26 Sept. Sputum test result negative.

• Linked my paper application to my GCKey on 28 Sept

2018 Oct - Did follow up xray on 1 Oct. Following day, 2 Oct, GCKey update that medical passed

• Review of eligibility started on 30 Oct
• SP Approved on 31 October

Documents submitted:

• Unconditional LOA from Durham College and conditional LOA from UOIT (DC program transfers to UOIT upon successful completion)
• 1 year fee receipt
• GIC letter of instruction
• Upfront medical form from IOM Manila
• IELTS result
• College and High School transcripts
• COE from previous works as well as all my ITRs since I started working
• IT certifications (C|EH and ITIL v3 Foundation) and certificate of attendance in various IT seminars
• Property documents (I have two properties)
• Letter from my brother-in-law that he will provide me with room and board, together with his valid ID
• Business registration from SEC (I have a tech startup which was duly registered with Philippines SEC as limited partnership)
• Marriage certificate
• NBI clearance
• SOP
• All required forms as per checklist

What I learned based from my experience:

• SP processing time is unpredictable. I got mine after 35 calendar days. But I have a friend who applied non-SDS on 17 Oct and got his approval on 25 Oct.
• SOP key points:

• My background: Took up Aeronautical Engineering in college but work experience for the past 22 years are solid IT (from systems and network administration to software/application development and project management)
• Objective: What I plan to achieve. Why I want to study in Canada
• Why Canada: Less expensive than other countries such as AU, NZ or USA. Great peace and order situation. Multicultural.
• Why Durham College and UOIT: I only applied at DC and UOIT so i was able to highlight their qualities.
• Career progression: How my intended program will help in my future career growth in my home country
• Declaration: that I will abide by all the conditions, rules and regulation of the SP should I be approved. That I intend to finish my program the soonest possible time and go back to my home country. That, should my SP be revoked by IRCC, I will leave Canada immediately.

• No agent/consultant. Everything I need I read from the IRCC/CIC website and Scotia bank website. Anything that is unclear to me, I asked from the forum. There are a lot of veterans here who goes out of their way to answer queries (hats off to all of you guys!)
• Make sure you have the complete documents upon submission. Utilize the checklist.
• For SDS applicants, it doesn't hurt to submit additional financial documents/proofs
  
• Plan accordingly, do not rush things. Very important to strategize properly. There is plenty of time. If I am able to do it at my age, how much more can younger applicants?
• Finally, YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL!
