    Student visa with family.

    To be eligible for SDS you must deposit 10,000 CAD, that's it. Any additional amount you put isn't going to be invested and will just sit on the account. You'll have to prove that you have additional funds in your local account but it's not mandatory to put on the GIC, that's up to you. And it's...

    Regarding processing of both SP and SOWP

    Did anyone got their spousal approval? It's been a month today for me and no news, raised webforms with no response. Sent an e-mail to my regional VAC that told me her application is in Edmonton. Tried calling to IRCC and only got the generic answer "there's no update, an officer need to see the...

    Entering Canada with a pending application using eTA

    Thank you, I agree with you. Our concern was not being able to enter to wait, so we'd have to find a purpose to go, but indeed it looks like an excuse. I still have hopes that they approve her application in time, let's see...

    Entering Canada with a pending application using eTA

    Thank you for your response. We are also thinking in registering her for a ~3 month language course, to say that she wouldn't stay in Canada doing nothing while waiting for their response, but would that go against her OWP application? In this scenario, can her OWP application be jeopardized by...

    After passing medical exam

    Relax this doesn’t mean anything, you’ll probably only get an update only on your final result now. Since that the deadline is over, you can try sending a Webform or an email to your VAC to see if they have any news. But honesty 5 days is too short to be nagging them, we all know already that...

    Is mentioning about PGWP in SOP a risk???

    You are applying for a study permit, so stick with the study permit, so maybe you shouldn't mention the PGWP, but that doesn't mean you will get rejected. You are being honest about your intentions, and a PGWP is perfectly legal so there's no reason to be worried for now. Since you already...

    Dec-21 SDS applicants, lets gather here!

    Yes we showed extra funds in our accounts in Brazil. I’ve seen people be approved with just the 10k GIC but if you can show more, there’s no harm in doing it, specially if you are applying with other family members.

    Regarding processing of both SP and SOWP

    I'm glad I found this thread, it seems that it's relatively common to not get the spouse visa at the same time... We applied in December 22nd and I got my SP approved yesterday but my SOWP hasn't even entered in review of eligibility, damn that's frustrating. I have raised an Webform and since I...

    Hey everyone, me and my wife applied for a SP + SOWP back in December. I'm the main applicant (SP) and got approved yesterday, receiving my Passport Request, but my wife didn't get any updates on her application. We submitted together as a family, that's why I'm concerned on why they didn't...

    PEQ work experience eligibility

    Hello folks, I'm a bit confused about the work experience requirement in the Programme de l’expérience québécoise (PEQ): - To be eligible, you must also have a job that meets these criteria at the time you apply and for at least 24 of the 36 months before you submit your application. Link Does...

    After passing medical exam

    No, there is absolutely no guarantee that if you pass your medical exam you'll get your visa. They are not even connected to your personal profile or your study program. The medical exam is necessary only to make sure that you don't have any contagious diseases and don't have any injury or...

    After passing medical exam

    Why are you concerned? The deadline is 20 days, this is completely normal so don't worry. The next day I applied it got in the same status as yours and only changed after 25 days, when I got accepted. Until you receive an answer, your application will stay the same as it is right now. They have...

    Deported from USA - Applying for Canada Student Visa

    I'm assuming you are applying as her partner? Implications are that she might get the visa and you don't. You'll have to mark this information on your application form and also explain in detail on your SOP. Canada and USA share immigration information, so they will check and know that you have...
