    Brilliant, you gotta admire the guile of the brains behind the immigration system into this nation.

    What is my chance to travel with my family as study permit ?

    If you must go to Canada and squander your savings on a useless degree, for heavens sake, don't drag your wife and an infant into a misfortune. Go alone and see if you can salvage anything from it, but leave your family behind. Living costs are high and good affordable housing extremely...

    Indian looking to immigrate to Canada. Need help in selecting course and university

    Doing a masters solely to gain backdoor entry into Canada is a bad idea which will drain your savings with no guarantee of recovery. The whole Canadian system of pr without a job offer is a scam, it's like gambling where only the house stands to gain. If you must go to Canada on pr, try express...

Unless you are gifted in your area then I strongly suggest you take a long hard look at why you would want to stake your savings and uproot your family to come here. Even if I assume that you are eventually planning to qualify for PR after completing your...

    CIBC GIC is better

    For those who are choosing CIBC, beware that there are some really incompetent people working at this bank who will give you a taste of how pathetic a bank could be. I had opted for the student deposit program and not GIC since mine was non SDS. When I activated my account at a CIBC branch here...

    My only fear before taking the decision to study in Canada

    You are expressing generic fears and others have already chimed in. Of course with so many variables, PR is no guaranteed even if you find an employer who says finish your diploma and I have a job waiting for you. But I will say this, unless you come from a country where your life is threatened...

    If you have already sold the equity then transfer the money to your savings account, as it becomes readily accessible. Since you have been working the money is presumably yours, if that is true then no further proof should be needed as you must be submitting your pay letter etc and the money...

    Writing SOP

    A statement of purpose/study plan is a personal document and should ALWAYS be written by the applicant himself and not outsourced for a fee. You do not need to be the next Shakespeare but if you are applying to study overseas and lack the confidence of writing one for yourself, then you should...
