    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    I see... But it's a bit weird that your application was accepted in UofA. Before kasi naging independent ang University of Calgary, it was the Calgary campus of University of Alberta. Plus their screening is more stringent. Actually, they did not accept me there despite the fact that my GPA is...

    Hi. I'm studying here in the University of Calgary. It depends what kind of Masters program your sibling wants. If it's course based MSc, it's pretty easy to get admitted. Just look up for the requirements and if thry are all satisfied, admission can be granted. Then the visa will be easy since...

    MS or PHD in Canada

    Totally agree in this one. Getting scholarships is tough. Besides, it is usually research based MS or PhD that are funded. So what you need to do is go have a list of your preferred university, select a program and find a research supervisor. It took me two months to get a research supervisor...

    I know someone here sa forum. She uses hopefulangel as her profile name. She's now with University of Alberta. As far as I know she's an occupational therapist. I tried to get a scholarship but I never got any response. It probably depends on the program you're trying to admission. If it's...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    I showed them approximately $20,000. But since I have some form of stipend from the University of Calgary because my program is reseach based, I was able to prove that I have enough money that is good for a year with just $20,000 in my bank account.

    Study Permit Application (Cebu, Philippines)

    No, the embassy does not withold any documents. Whether you are granted or refused of a visa, all documents are being returned. It's just unfortunate that these lapses happened. I think it's better this time for you to do it all by yourself. You'll be more than sure that all requirements are...

    Study Permit Application (Cebu, Philippines)

    Can you let us know more about your profile? Which school are you going to? Educational background? Job experience? Because i don't think you were refused just because you failed to include NBI clearance. That's not even included in the list of documents to submit when applying online. I did not...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    안녕하세요! This is a bit tough since the application already includes your wife and kid. And as far as I know, decisions are all given at once for everyone included in the application. I think it is best for you to wait a bit more. You still have at least 6 more weeks before the start of the winter...

    masters study in canada

    I think this is too low for a university. How about any English test results? Do have related job experiences or any published research? These might help you get admission but with that GPA, your chances are diminished. Try less prestigious university and local colleges. They might accept you...

    masters study in canada

    I'm not familiar with Indian grades. Are your grades considered high or low? What are they in a 4.0 grading scale? From there, you can figure out which university will accept you. Majority of the prestigious universities accept students with at least 3.0/4.0. But of course you have to be...

    Tuition fee payment is not a requirement nor a way to push your visa application forward. Don't pay anything if you don't want to be penalized for any refunds if you don't get a visa. Just provide financial documents that you can pay your tuition as well as living expenses for a year. Giving...

    You got admission with an IELTS score of 6? That's surprising! Usually they require at least 7 with no scores lower that 6.5. Anyway, English test scores are not required for visa application. You only need it for admission to a school in Canada. So if you got admission, then al you have to...

    HELP Study Permit Rejected Got 7.5 on IELTS

    Here's how I look at it... Why get a certificate course after getting a Masters in Business. The program itself is not really related to banking or finance? Try choosing something related to banking and finance and reapply.
