Thanks so much guys! Isang damukal na forms pala ang kailangan fill-up para dito!

for clarifications po, what happens in passport request is didikitan nila ng sticker containing your student visa to allow you to travel and reach the borders of Canada.

At the boarder, you maybe interviewed or asked to show proof of funds, LOA or some verification questions depending on the officer po. I've personally seen someone na nadala sa parang interogation room and another one na parang na-deny entry kaya kinabahan ako. Pero as long as you are a genuine student, no worries. Once they are satisfied, they will print your study permit and it will state there if you can work part time or not. Chambahan, minsan sasabihni you can't and mag-aapply ka separately pero yung iba on the spot sinasabi na pwede at dapat bigyan sila. So depende nalang sa tapang ninyo hehe I was lucky na walag restrcitions sa part time work yung akin ;D Once may print na kayo ng study permit, if office hours pa, pwede kayo dumerecho sa service canada inside the immigration/airport to obtain an SIN (parang tin number para makatrabaho kayo) otherwise, the next day na po kayo kukuha ng SIN outside the airport, nagkalat naman po yun kung saan saan hehe

cmaple, sa forms na fill up namin ngayon, parang asawa, anak or common law lang ang pwede isama sa application mo. Although they will ask for details of your parents and siblings din :) Note that my logic is based from the CRS calculator and the only person outside yourself that can claim points is your partner :)

Synder, nag kiwi ka pala hehe
Thanks Micmic!!! I am excited I am going to VAC tomorrow with passport letter and consent in hand! I am just so happy kasi the only thing im waiting for is graduation nalang! Yeah I lived in NZ for a 5 years :)

walang property po.
cash in bank lang talaga
Mukhang mahihirapan ka nga. As per info na sinasabi sa akin, mahirap kapag may dala kang family tapos wala ka pang properties. Hindi din kasi porke may pera e mataas na chance dahil puwedeng may nagpahiram lang pang show money. Nagbigay ka ba ng income tax return niyo, payroll/pay slip at employment certificate na indicating salary, bonuses, allowances and other benefits?

Decision made: VISA REFUSED (SP & OWP)
Timeline
Dec.22, 2016 lodged online
Jan.17, 2017 medical passed
Jan.25, 2017 visa refused
-------------------
Background:
University of Winnipeg , Project Management 1 year
Accountancy Graduate in the Philippines
Show funds: Php 1.2M (excluding Cad 9k school deposit)
Countries traveled: CANADA, USA, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Italy, Switzerland, France.

Reasons for Refusal
*family ties in Canada and in country of residence
*purpose of visit
*other reason
Not satisfied that you are a bona fide student & would depart Canada at end of your authorized stay.

nagresign po sa work ditto sa Dubai till end of Feb na lng ako kc uuwi na ako ng pinas. so bale parehas na kami ng husband ko walang work. pwede ba mag reapply? NAPANSIN ko mukhang malaki chance na deny.
patulong sa SOP in case na mag reaply ako
Did you make an SOP for your first application, kasi parang mahirap i-connect ang Accountancy to Project Management. Also, what is your professional background?
I think your challenge is that you applied in Dubai, not from the Philippines. And is your husband working in Dubai too? Yung ties mo nga yan, kasi kailangan you have to show properties in the Philippines to reassure the VO that you will come back (theoretically) if your student visa expires. Kasi kung wala, they think you will probably just stay in Canada, especially since you resigned from your job.
Either show your properties sa Pinas or MAYBE a letter from your employer that he or she is willing to hire you back when you are done.

Also, if you can, get your CAIPS note so you will see the specifics of your refusal. Good luck

sana nga, IT major in Computer Systems course ko sa SAIT Calgary, haaays, nakakainip lang kasi lagpas na 8weeks di parin gumagalaw yung medical ko.

@mga landed na sa canada, ano ano po mga tinanong at hiningi ng Canada Border Services Agency officer nung pagland niyo doon?

Hi peej06! Fall 2017 din ako sa SAIT, Chemical Lab Tech Diploma. Still in preparing documents, kakatanggap ko lang ng LOA ko last week. After almost 1 year of application (Fall 2016 & Fall 2017) nag-ooffer din sila ng seat. Sa wakas! Feb 2016 n kasi ako nag-apply for Fall 2016, im on Qualified Waitlist lang for the looooongest time. They didnt even declined my application. Nag-reapply ako Oct 2016 for Fall 2017, finally they offered me a seat! Whew! Thank God!

May kakilala kasi ako sa Calgary and its just nearby SAIT kaya dun talaga prefer ko. Chemist ako by profession so i think Chem Lab Tech is the most appropriate. Kaya yun, naghintay talaga ko! Haha!

I've been around this forum since last week, back read ng post. Learned a lot, i will probably share my indexed notes (w/ page no) next time, para sa mga newbies like me.

I'll be applying online from Singapore. Dito kasi ako nagwwork ngayon. Goodluck sa atin lahat!

hi schoolmate! (sana matuloy tayo pareho) same pala tayo, nagapply din ako feb 2016 for fall 2016 pero hanggang qualified list lang, reapply ng oct 2016 then offered seat na for fall 2017.

ikaw palang ang kasabay ko ng fall 2017 dito so far, kapag nauna ka pa sa akin may problema talaga sa application ko hehe

Nagbayad k n ba ng first sem tuition? Yung non-refundable tuition deposit p lang nabayaran ko. Nag-inquire ako sa admissions how much I need to pay for first sem, sabi nila by June p daw mafinalize yung amount.

Are u applying alone or with spouse/family? Kasama ko husband ko sa application.

yup, prepaid, puwede ka magbayad kahit wala pa final tuition. i-minus nalang nila sa account mo,

nope, di ko kasama family, mas mahirap daw eh, ako muna then iapply ko sila next, para atleast may makapasok na if ever at di sabay madeny.

I see. Kung maaga ka ma-approve, may time k pa to apply for ur family. Sana all goes according sa plan mo.

Balik sa tuition, how did u calculate for the amount? As in divided by 3 lang ng yearly tuition according sa LOA?
