    What Would The Immigration Officer ask at the Point Of Entry??

    As a student who had this experience this year when I came to Canada. I can say that their main purpose of asking questions is to make sure that you are genuine. Therefore, the question may vary depending on each individual. In my case, I also had to land in Toronto first, but my school was not...

I didn't have any contacts and this time and I NEVER got hired so I just decided to volunteer on and off campus instead. When I volunteered, I...

    What proof of funds can students show at the Canadian border?

    I remember that at POE the officer didn't even see my letter of introduction! Apart from that, he asked me if I paid the tuition and got a receipt. I said I paid some of the tuition online using MasterCard (from a foreign bank account.. not a Canadian one). He didn't say anything about that...

    New CIC rules and employers

    Hi guys, so I am a full time student and I was able to get my SIN without applying for CIC confirmation letter (because my study permit says "may accept employment").

    Seniors please advice

    First, make sure that you actually need a confirmation letter in order to get SIN. I got my SIN based on study permit only. If you study permit says "may accept employment". They will give you your SIN without a job offer in a few minutes. I don't think universities put DOB in enrollment...

    question about co op

    If you are a coop student, you still have to look for the job. In my university, coop office does its best to help you get a job but it is still your responsibility. Also, if you are a coop student and you find a job, coop office supervises the whole work term. You usually need to write...

    Co-op work permit - tracking hours?

    Your co-op or internship employment cannot form more than 50% (percent) of the total program of study. -CIC- I think this simply means if your coop program is for example a 4 year program (12 academic and work semesters (Winter, Spring and Fall)). You can't work more than 6 semesters. Am I right?
