    Deferring to a later date for my studies, what should I include in the IRCC webform?

    Hello, I lodged my SDS Study Permit application on 9 Feb 2021 for Fall 2021 intake. However, because of the pandemic I'm worried it won't get processed until later this year. I'm currently thinking of moving my studies to Winter 2022 intake. If I continue with this plan, what papers (besides...

    Can I renew my passport midapplication?

    So I just lodged my application yesterday and I have an appointment with the consular office to get my passport renewed Friday next week. IF everything goes well and my application is approved, would it be okay to send in my new passport instead? (The old passport gets a punch hole after...

    Can I (not from america) make a GIC account with a US Dollar Account from a local Bank?

    Same as the title. I have a US dollar account and planning to do the GIC process. However, will GIC only accept the local currency? Or would a US account be sufficient?

    What documents are needed if my relatives from Canada are willing to help me out with accommodation & food?

    I am going to show some ties here at home as I mentioned earlier in my previous replies to you, but I'll def do that. Noted. Include them in the POF, but not highlight in the SOP. Question though - how can I do that? I feel like any reasoning about mentioning them would be a highlight in itself...

    What documents are needed if my relatives from Canada are willing to help me out with accommodation & food?

    Okay so let's say I don't include them in my SOP, would it be fine to at least include them in the Proof of Finance/Funds? It's not a letter or anything just a few documents acting as files for appendix just to prove that I have a roof over me during my stay there.

    What documents are needed if my relatives from Canada are willing to help me out with accommodation & food?

    I was thinking of hiding but that would be way too risky as I may be granted a visa in my country but once I'm at the point of entry, Immigration officer might find it weird that I didn't disclose my family ties in my SOP and deny me of entry. That's a pretty important detail to miss out on...

    What documents are needed if my relatives from Canada are willing to help me out with accommodation & food?

    Hi all, My aunt & uncle (Candian residents and they're a family of 5 including my cousins) are willing to support me with the accommodations for my whole stay in Canada while studying. What specific documents do I need to get from them for the study permit application? I've already googled my...

    Does the Visa Officer check where GIC funds come from?

    Thank you for the detailed response! Much appreciated. And it's not that I'm worried about telling the truth its just in a facebook page I'm in, I've vented about this problem of mine and a lot of them told me that having an extended family in Canada to support me might weaken my defence. They...

    Does the Visa Officer check where GIC funds come from?

    Oh what I'm actually asking is will the visa officer try to trace back where the GIC funds came from? Like for example, would they look for the bank statements where I got it from (let's say my relatives sent the funds to my bank account under my name). Or would they simply ignore it since the...

    Does the Visa Officer check where GIC funds come from?

    My main sponsors would be my parents for the flight and tuition. However, my aunt & uncle (candian residents) are willing to fund for my GIC and accommodation. The plan is to write a letter of explanation about their commitment to help me with the accommodation. But would it be wise to disclose...

    My extended family is willing to sponsor my accommodation throughout my stay in Canada. Would this ruin my chances of getting approved?

    Wait how is that well and good? If I can't include them in the forms, then I'll have to explicitly mention them in either my LOE or Proof of Funds (with supporting documents that they are my aunt & uncle). PS Im also applying through SDS.

    My extended family is willing to sponsor my accommodation throughout my stay in Canada. Would this ruin my chances of getting approved?

    the thing is i dont think there are any forms that will require me to indicate my aunt/uncles name as they are considered as extended family. My main sponsors will still be my parents but I dont think there's a form that'll allow me to put my relatives' name as they're not eligible for the...

    My extended family is willing to sponsor my accommodation throughout my stay in Canada. Would this ruin my chances of getting approved?

    Just as the title says, my aunt and uncle are willing to give me accommodation/food during my stay in Canada. I am well aware that extended family sponsorships are not allowed unless I fit specific criteria. However, my preferred college is only 30 mins away from my relative's house. It's...

    Sponsorship from Relatives as Proof of Funds

    Hello, My aunt & uncle, who are currently PRs of Canada, are willing to sponsor me with a bank draft as proof of funds. I've seen some people discourage this kind of method but would it be fine in doing so? I'll be taking the regular stream so a GIC wouldn't be required, but as a substitute...

    The end date for my program exceeds the validity of my passport

    I'm Filipino but if VACs in your country allow that, it might be the same with mine. I'll probably just verify it with them. Thanks for the help x
