I managed to talk to a visa officer at the airport and was assisted accordingly :) now I am legal, haha. thanks for the assistance!!

nmunirali, you sure about this? If that's the process, I'm so relieved!! thank you! I will go to the airport here and see if they can do anything. If not, i'll have to wait till Tuesday to get this done. thank you :)

Yeah, well, I wasn't well informed since I thought I already have it and the immigration department didn't say anything regarding the study permit when I arrived in Toronto. I am from Kenya so I am not from a visa exempt country. Will have to find out the next steps on Tuesday unfortunately and...

Are you serious? I can't do that.. Newfoundland and Labrador is an island and I can't cross any borders.. and I will need a US visa if I want to cross that border which will be even more difficult to get at this point :(

I arrived in Canada, Toronto on 17th August and had a stress-free process leaving the airport. I had my TRV stamped on my passport for study and I thought that this is my study permit so I do not need any other documents, and was not asked at the airport, and neither was informed about anything...

If you have strong ties in Pakistan, it could help. But even for family info, they do not ask where the present location of family members are. My form just asked where they were born and their date of birth. So you wont have to mention anything about her location. However, they will probably...

Oh no! :( so you are still searching? Inbox me

I am also looking for a room near the university.. any help? :(

My student visa has been approved in Nairobi. I applied on 28th of May 2014 through VFS office in Nairobi, got medical request on June 24th, did medicals on 7th and 8th of July and was issued my study permit on 31st of August 2014. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them and I will...

Hi Aparna! the medical cover letter itself did not have the IME and the UCI numbers. It was just an introduction stating that I have to undergo the medical exam and details about the medical form will be sent to me, which it was on the same day (25th June). This email only has my file number...

From your previous posts, its seems like you already know a lot about COL, employment and accommodation, which you portrayed in a way that seems its affordable and you can manage on your own. So why not use your own expertise about how people survive in Canada to your advantage and figure it out? :)

I received an email with instructions to undergo the medical exam on 25th June and I did the exam on 7th July. Today, I received an email with the cover letter for medicals attached, the same letter I received on 25th. I think it was sent by mistake, but I am still confused as to what to do...

oh, yes, I remember :) well, i'm not so sure if the on-campus housing is full, but I do know that people have applied for accommodation there and are on waiting list. The full list will be out soon I guess, but if you are looking for on-campus housing, you could email them and find out.. For...

No, I'm from Kenya. I'm still waiting for my visa as well, but keeping a lookout for accommodation in the mean time. Apparently, the hostels are already booked to capacity so we will have to sort ourselves out which is proving to be a hassle. Please share your views :)

Hey guys, wondering if anyone who's going to MUN has secured housing for the Fall intake? Suggestions and any assistance will be appreciated!! So far kijiji.ca isn't of much help since I am not in Canada and can't connect with anyone via email. I think the same goes for off-campus housing...

Hi, I think it will take some more time as I believe the High Commission in Kenya deals with many countries in Africa, so the only option I have is to wait. If it was to be refused, I would have probably gotten feedback soon enough, so I think being positive is the way forward. Thanks :)

Hey, you can apply for the visa without the DLI for now because the university has not been updated with one for now. But keep checking the list that has been provided by the CIC to ensure that the DLI has not been updated before you apply for the visa. Don't worry about it. Hope that helps.

Hello, I applied for my visa on the 28th of May 2014, and haven't received any feedback from them.. The application was paper based, through VFS and I applied for the visa in Nairobi, Kenya. I'm worried sick because there's no feedback up until now :( wondering how long it would take.. I haven't...

Hey! Have you gotten in for the MBA program? I got my acceptance letter, and now waiting to apply for the visa.. I'm also concerned about the working there, and I understand that there aren't many jobs, so people will have to relocate to bigger cities after the degree.. Hoping to get more info...
