    For study direct stream they update all fields in one go. I remember not receiving updates at all until the day the final decision section was updated. Timeframe from the time I accomplished the biometrics was 16 calendar days

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Hello Anyw, I'm not familiar with the statistics. But I believe it's worth giving that application a shot. After all, it's no longer uncommon for Filipino kids to pursue their college education abroad. I don't know anyone in particular who has traveled to Canada for college. I know a few though...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    But what’s the point of hiring an agency’s services if you’re not given assistance on important requirements like your SOP!? When you were asked to revise it, were you at least given specific feedback on what needs improvement? What to remove, what to add, what to strengthen? I gave detailed...

    Yea, ang cool nga pag Regular Stream because you can apply as soon as you are granted an acceptance letter by a learning institution.

    There's no specific attire indicated. I went in long sleeves and cropped pants, and wished I wore short sleeves and a skirt, though. For more convenience. LOL

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    I agree that it might be the SOP. In my opinion it makes sense to pursue a higher degree within the same field of studies as BS Psychology for example, and then take the MD route afterwards (Psychiatry) or AB Psychology and then take Master of Arts in Guidance and Counseling. Just strengthen...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Yes. That would be considered lying kasi, if you say you're applying in the Philippines. My take on that is, don't lie, as that may cause a permanent ban. Sayang naman po kung ganon.

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Here’s what I plan on doing, that might work for some of you: I’m planning to exchange some of my PHP to CAD, but I’ll also bring some USD. I don’t want to bring too much cash in my body while in transit, as I’ll be flying alone, and I don’t want to worry about losing my money when I’m napping...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    no, not necessarily. your bank will provide you with the conversion for the day, and get your consent, ask you if it's a go or no go. Conversion changes almost on a daily basis around the time I paid my tuition and wired money for my GIC using my BPI peso checking account.
