Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

[humdrumdum]

I thought under the new rule last Jun 2014, study permits will automatically authorize the holder to work off-campus for up to 20 hours per week during the academic session and full-time during scheduled breaks without the need to apply for a separate work permit.

Kelangan ko pa naman ng SIN for opening bank and getting post-paid mobile.

Sa airport ba may SIN application?

Yes, it means full-time students are allowed to work, but when you apply for a SIN, they will look at your study permit, not your TRV. When they see it's written on your study permit that you are not allowed to engage in employment, they cannot issue you a SIN unless you have the letter from CIC that says you are allowed to work off-campus. So ultimately, di mo malalaman hanggang mag-land ka sa Canada and you get your study permit.

To clarify, the CIC letter is NOT a work permit. It just says you are allowed to work under the new policy.

SIN is not required to open a bank account. I just showed Scotiabank my passport, study permit, and a proof of addreess. A residential tenancy agreement will do. I think the same applies for getting a post-paid plan.

Re: NBI

I also included my NBI! Medyo hassle nga nun kasi I thought the same thing, wala sa CIC checklist. I asked VFS personally and they said requirement daw siya kahit wala sa checklist.

Re: NBI

Yung validity ng NBI Clearance ko ay 1 year, pero parang may nabasa ako sa previous posts na 2 or 3 months lang yung validity ng NBI Clearance nila. :-\

Just get a recent one, floje. You still have time pa naman eh. at least a month before you lodge your application

Valid until April 6, 2016 pa yung NBI Clearance ko wandermom. Got it last April 6 din this year. Di ba pwede yun?

^^when do you plan to submit your visa application, Floje?
If you got it on April 6, you must submit your application by July 6, otherwise pakukuhanin ka nila ng mas recent na NBI clearance

Ah ganun pala, at least 3 months from date of issue nung NBI clearance. Sa May na ako magsubmit ng application. Thanks scorpio!

Yup! You got that right floje! Kaya ako kinakabahan din kasi I got mine noong Feb pa... so if nagkaproblema application ko <Lord, wag naman po sana...), kelangan ma-submit ko na siya by May agad... Wala pa din balita sakin... sana naman ay maging ok ang lahat...

@humdrum, thanks for the information regarding work. I hope you were already able to resolve the issues you were face recently with So sa point of entry pa pala malalaman kung pwede work or not? Wala kasi co-opyung program ko...So even if ther's a new ruling regarding this, we still have to secure a letter from CIC?

Di mo ba isinama yung NBI clearance mo sa application mo micmic?

Naisama ko naman siya together with the SOP... bale si SOP ko contains the SOP itself, NBI, house and lot title, 2 biz registrations and job offer from my father-in-law's company. Yung IELTS ang di ko na sinami since wala naman sa list and I guess implied na meron ka na since natanggap ka sa school

Almost every hour check ako email, wala pa din update... pero tuwing may new email naman ako, nagdadasal ako na sana maganda ang balita... kaso puro credit card billing statement lang ang dumadating

I see. Pero sa IMM1294E form dun sa "Have you taken a test from a designated testing agency to assess your proficiency in English or French" tsi-nek mo ba?

Tsaka paano yung sa "tuition", whole tuition yun di ba? Sa akin kase nagbayad na ako ng 1st term, paano yung "funds available for my stay" kung magkano lang yung pera sa Bank Certificate ilalagay in my case 45k CAD na lang which was 53k CAD dahil binayad ko na yung 8k CAD sa first term tuition?

By the way, na forward na ba yung Meds Results mo sa CIC?

Hi Floje,

there lies my dilemna. I did tick that box for the english exam but didn't bother to submit the IELTS (upto now, I really can't remember if I did or didn't because everything was a rush when I lodged my application ;D ) There are cases naman na if they did require it, they'll just notify you naman like what I read here --same case as the NBI for some.

What I did regarding the tuition portion was to put the estimated total cost of the program. In my case, that's roughly around 30k then dun sa portion na funds available for my stay, I put another 30k. My proof of funds naman was close to 70k USD. Sa board and lodging naman, may letter ako from my uncle na dun ako sa kanya stay for free. Note that I didn't pay any tuition fee yet since June pa naman ang deadline In your case, maybe just show what's readily available and then attach also the proof of payment mo sa school. Self explanatory na naman siguro yun sa kanila once nakita na nila na nagbayad ka na. Just make sure na nauna yung date ng bayad mo sa school versus sa date ng bank certs mo

My medical results were forwarded at the same time with that of ma'am AAM's... pero upto now, wala pa din notification from CIC so I'm torturing myself now from overthinking the possible chain of events that'll take place given the binary result of the application hehe

Sa mga na-forward na ang medicals, how long did t take before you got notification from CIC?

 

[Floje]

Ang laki pala ng funds mo micmic. Yung sa akin, saktong-sakto lang, baka sabihin ng visa officer insufficient yung funds ko. :-X

Regarding IELTS, yes, di naman talaga mandatory sa CIC yun. And yes, they'll notify you naman siguro kung kailangan nila yung IELTS TRF mo. So wag kang mabahala. Hehe!

Anyway, based on the information you just shared, I think malaki yung chance mo in getting the study permit. There's no other reason na i-deny ka ng visa officer.

 

[micmic]

Nako, magdilang anghel ka sana! Ang pagkaka-alam ko one year's worth of tuition lang naman ang kelangan.. Yours would also suffice what's required
Goodluck sa atin! At sana e magkita-kita tayo doon!

Hi! Sa tingin niyo po ba okay lang if for example May 2016 ako maglolodge ng application tapos September 2015 magdedeposit ako ng 500k sa bank and then another 1M sa December 2015. Okay lang po ba yun?
