I apologize for the long post.......but any advice would be really appreciated! I was excluded from Canada 2 years ago for working without a work visa (it's a long story). I had no intentions of going back to Canada again however since the exclusion I have had my belongings in storage since...

That's what I thought, and I'm not willing to stretch it out until May just to be able to apply for a PGWP. And to then be worrying about how long it would be for if they'd even give one to me - not worth it. Thanks guys.

It isn't a distance ed program - it's a BA in business administration (specialty accounting) that I have just done most of online. I want to go back to canada to do the rest AT the college because some courses arent offered online.....

I would have thought so - it's the right level after doing a bachelors, and it's IT which is related to computer science in a way. Check with someone more knowledgeable though.

Hey, (sorry if the dates are confusing) Long story but I did the first two years of my degree in Canada (most of it was done via distance ed if that matters), but then I left Canada last May. I continued completing the degree online from outside of Canada. I'm considering going back this...

Thanks for the responses! No he isnt guaranteeing anything, he is registered, he seems to want $500 upfront to help me get the departure certificate that I was never given when I left. But would do the rest on a payment plan. I've sent an application to CIC myself to request it as I don't think...

hey, im not in canada im in cyprus right now. but the consultant is in kelowna, bc. he doesnt have a set fee it seems like hes just pulled it out of thin air. he did say i can do a payment plan but i dont know what/how he would help me do anything differently...so confused!

Hey all, quick question... My immigration consultant that I've been talking to for months now wants $2,000CAD to assist me in applying for a study permit after I received an exclusion order a year ago. Is this reasonable or am I being completely ripped off if I agree? Thanks!

Hopefully from Sept of this year to most likely Dec 2015 - 2 more terms of courses and then I believe a term for the honours portion. So 15months?

I know it been awhile since you got your study permit but I thought I'd try posting anyway. I'm in a similar situation except my working was on a visitor visa not a study permit. Was wondering if you had any pointers with ur application? Thanks!

Hi all, I'm from the UK and originally moved to Canada in 2008 to do a Psychology degree at UBCO but after almost 2 years transferred to Okanagan College to do a BA in Business (Accounting) instead. However, after my uni fund ran out and breaking up with my common-law spouse who was going to...

I went to UBCO for a few years and yes, it's an excellent university with a good reputation. The campus is really small though as the university only opened in 2005 which isn't for me - I prefer bigger busier cities - but that's just me. It also depends what you are studying as certain programs...

That's what doesn't make sense is that on the website it says that if it's been over 12 months but you don't have the certificate of departure you need an ARC. But if you are applying for a visitor/study/work permit you don't do the ARC and if it's needed they process it within the context of...

I know that's true... I think tomorrow I'll send the application for a copy of a departure certificate. Even if I don't get it by the time I apply for the study permit at least I'll have tried. Otherwise I think I'll go ahead and apply for the study permit next month once I have all the...

Haha yea they are tough. I did 7hrs of interrogation before flying back. Went across the Atlantic twice in a day...fun stuff. And I'm terrified of secondary now but just like last time I didn't lie about anything at all and my situation has changed a lot since the exclusion. I've already got my...

I'm from the UK which is also visa exempt. I think I may just leave it. It doesn't make sense that it would be needed as when you are excluded you leave Canada straight away, it's not like a departure order. I just hate that I get such conflicting information! It's also a 6 month processing time...

That's so good that you'll be getting PR. I just looked on cic's website again and it does say: 2. Exclusion Order (form number IMM 1214B) a) If you were issued an Exclusion Order and 12 months have passed since you left Canada and you have a Certificate of Departure (IMM 0056B) showing the...

No when I apply it will have been 14 months since the exclusion. What was the reason for your exclusion? It always calms me to hear that other people have been able to go back after an exclusion.

Thanks! I thought it seemed a little crazy when he mentioned it to me a few months ago. And yeah, I would never try and do just a visitor visa as based on the exclusion I'd have no chance. A study permit makes sense for me though I think as since I was excluded I've kept doing my degree online...
