1. yes. pwede naman. basta you can explain naman sa letter mo sa course na kukunin mo. may iba na approved ng study permit kahit hindi parehas ng course nila nung college.
2. prepared budget for it. usually average tuition is 10k-12k CAD (more or less 400,000 pesos) per year. so kung 2 year program, mahigit 1M for the tuition alone. Plus you need to provide funds during for your living expenses. So better set a budget of 1.5M (estimate ko lang ha) to cover your full stay in Canada. or atleast have the funds reflect upon your bank accounts.
3. SDS, sabi nila bibihira ma-refused. karamihan ng SDS, approved kaagad. but this will require Academic IELTS result of 6.0 in all band scores, Full payment of tuition of 1 year lang plus a GIC (Guaranteed Investment Certificate) of 10k CAD to Scotia bank. mas stream line ang documents. inshort, bayad mo na tuition bago ka umalis at may 10k CAD ka sa scotia bank to cover your daily expenses.
4. Depende sa schools. other schools would require HS and College records as requirement nila bago ka bigyan ng LOA. so you need to comply with the requirements. Others schools would require educational assessment from WES, etc. akin nga more than 15 years na ako grumaduate ng HS, nakakuha pa ako ng HS records (form 137) hehehe better to ask yung school.
Thanks!
Bale kung sa SDS, tuition fee for 1 year + 10k lang? Or may additional fund pa na need?
Pwede din ba sumama yung dependent spouse or partner?

as per SDS guidelines, provide 1 year full payment of tuition and 10k GIC from Scotia Bank plus Academic IELTS of 6.0 in all subtest. it would be better to have additional funds to cover other miscellanous fees. pwede isama yung spouse or partner at may additional funds to show for accompanying partner (4k CAD).

Hi po!

Ask ko lang po kung kelan pwedeng pumunta ng Canada once na-approve na yung SP? Na-receive ko na po yung passport ko with TRV counterfoil and LOI two weeks ago, and ang plano ko po sana is pumunta ngayong July. September 4 po yung start ng classes ko, pero may mga orientation po yung school (SAIT - Calgary, AB) around third week ng August.

July po sana para makapag-pasyal pa po sana ako sa Toronto (yung plano kong POE) and Calgary before classes, since may relatives po ako in Toronto and Calgary na pwede kong stay-an (plus never pa po akong nakapunta ng Canada so medyo excited haha). :) Pero is this okay po ba or baka isipin ng CBSA na sketchy yung arrival ko?

Thank you po for your time!

First SP Application: Feb 16, 2018 (Online through GCKey)
Denied - March 22, 2018
Reason: Unsupported past studies and purpose of visit
Second SP Application: April 19, 2018 (In Person @ VFS Global)

Hi everyone!

Quick question lang- anyone tried to apply for a post-secondary program (diploma, bachelor's degree, advanced diploma) kahit may Bachelor's Degree na kayo sa Philippines? Okay lang ba 'yun? Or would it become a factor of being refused a visa?

Thank you!

possible for No Ielts. my school did not require me to have ielts. I was given a LOA by submitting my transcripts lang (both HS and College Transcripts).

as for no show money, what do you mean exactly by no show money? if plan mo mag aral sa canada, you need to prove na you have the budget for it.
Hi! What program did you apply for?
I wanted to know lang kasi I'm not sure if I can take a Post-secondary program in Canada after receiving my Bachelor's Degree in the Philippines. Thank you!

Hi guys,

Gano katagal ang processing time ng student permit nowadays? I submitted my application sa CIC last May 21. Approximately kelan kaya dadating study permit ko assuming walang problema sa application ko?

Thanks guys!
