Hi everyone,
I am a little bit confused and I hope the experienced members here can give me some answers.
I am helping a friend who is a visitor here to apply for a study permit to study in Canada.
First of all, I believe as a visitor in Canada you can still apply for a study permit without leaving Canada. My friend will just need to send the application to the consulate in LA.
So here are my questions:
1. Do I send the application directly by mail to the consulate in LA or through the Visa Application Center (csc-cvac.com/en-US/selfservice/cvac_welcome)? I see that applying through the VAC will cost you another $40.
2.He needs to apply for a co-op work permit as well. Does he need to submit the work permit application too - IMM5710?
3. In the study permit application IMM1294, page 1 question 9 is asking for country where applying, I believe I should put Canada since my friend is already here. Is that correct?
4. My friend is Korean (so he didn't need a TRV - temporary resident visa - to come to Canada), that means he doesn't need to send his passport to the LA office. Is that correct?
5. My friend doesn't have a lot of money here (around 2k-4k) but his father will send him money to pay for his school and living expenses. He will use his father's bank statement ($50k equivalent available in foreign currency)from Korea as proof of funds. I saw on this website that it should be ok. Would you agree? canadainternational.gc.ca/united_kingdom-royaume_uni/visas/faq.aspx
6. My friend expects to start school on May 5 but it looks like there is not enough time. What is the expected processing time these days? The website only says min 30 days can-am.gc.ca/visas/processing-traitement.aspx?lang=eng
7. If he doesn't show the proof of the medical exam, can he send it later (but before being requested)? Where can he send it to?
I know I have so many questions but thank you very much for your help.
