Hello ulit,

@zyzy:

Depende sa school if kailangan ng IELTs hindi sa embassy, yung sakin (VIPM) katulad din nung sa husband ni kyle - letter of english as medium of instruction lang pwede na, nagkataon lang na sinabi sakin ng agency na kumuha na for back-up plan.. Yung ibang school (some private and majority of public schools) may English Proficiency requirement for their diploma programs pero varying and usually mababa lang quota..

Kaso share ko din dun sa PRN na plan mag-paassessment sa iba't-ibang province (CRNBC,CARNA,CNO,etc.), ang kelangan nila according sa website is CELBAN or IELTS Academic.. Pati mas mura sa Pilipinas kasi nasa 9,xxx yung sakin pero pag-check ko dito sa Canada $310 (12,xxx) pala so depende na sa iyo, yung ibang province kelangan nila ng IELTS na valid 6 months from result date..

@JainaFel

Ang personal experience ko pag-nagaapply ng TRV and Study Permit is dependent sa supporting documents mo, we found out yung critical questions (unofficial) na dapat masagot ng documents mo since non-appearance yung application:

- Ano ang plan mo pag-dating sa Canada and gaano katagal stay mo (Study Plan, LOA, School & Program details)
- May sufficient funds ka ba and proof of income ng supporter mo (Sponsorship Letter, Employment Cert ng Sponsor or Proof of Businesses)
- Meron ka pa bang babalikan sa Pilipinas or plan mo na lumipat sa Canada for good (Personal properties or bank accounts or businesses, etc)
- Declared ba lahat ng necessary info or may discrepancies ba (Application form, previous refusal if meron, personal documents)

It's best to think of the worst case scenario para meron ka kagad back-up plan pero be positive with your application kasi if sinunod mo naman yung process and requirements then there should be no reason to worry.. And if nagbigay ng refusal sasabihin naman yung dahilan (on my case insufficient supporting documents) and wala naman grace period sa pag-apply ulit..

Pati praying won't hurt so Good luck! :)

Sa tingin ko hindi advisable na ilagay sa SOP na may balak ka mag settle down sa canada after you graduate. Though lam naman ng mga Visa officers un ung balak ng most applicants, but it's better to be discreet and prove na malakas ung ties mo sa pilipinas (family, assets, etc) and may babalikan ka pa din.

In my case, since balak namin whole family na kami punta, three years course ni hubby, ang plan namin bayaran na ung buong tuition fee for three years, in that way makita talga ng VO na talgang tatapusin ni hubby ung course nya and hindi pupunta dun para maghanap agad ng employer and convert ung student visa to working visa, which most applicants are using this route. Kaya napaka higpit na ng mga visa officers. I'm just praying nasa di maka apekto sa application namin na nag stay ako sa canada for 10 months, though may proof naman ako na nag extend ako, praying na di nila ito gawing reason.

Hi sis. San ka nag enroll? For september intake ka ba?

Depende na din sis sa VO na hahawak ng case mo. May mabait and may strict. And kung malakas ung ties mo dito sa pinas. May mga nababasa ako na nabibigyan naman lahat, meron din hindi. Kung di ganun kalakas ung ties mo, iwan mo muna anak mo, asawa mo muna. Tapos sunod na lang anak mo after. Ang maganda dun sis pag mabigyan ka na ng stident permit and SOWP sa hubby mo, tapos pagdating nagka work na si hubby mo and mas malaki ung chance na makukuha mo anak mo. And most of the time naman ayaw nila nagkaka hiwalay ung family. Kailangan mo lang talga pakita and prove na babalik ka sa pinas.

Sis pag sasama mo anak ko mo update mo kami. Si Kyle din kasi mag apply sya for SOWP and baby nya. Nasa vancouver na hubby nya. Para magkaroon kami ng idea about sa mga spouses and mga anak na sasama.

Thanks sis and Goodluck! :)

Hi all. I'm new here and you all seem so nice and helpful. :)

Would you happen to know the chances of getting a Study Permit if my immediate family (parents and sibs) are already permanent residents for more than a year? Not yet in the visa app stage though, still waiting for a response from the college I applied to.
Hello! :)

My sister and her family are permanent residents, di naman naging bad thing. Nagpakita lang ako ng employment certificates nila ng brother-in-law ko, plus a letter of support (na sakanila ako mag sstay sa duration of my studies) :) I got my visa naman.

Hello! :)

Sa mga nakakuha na ng visa at naghahanap ng ticket, may travel fair sa SMX ngayon (Feb 15-17, 2013). I got my student visa last November pa, pero di ako natuloy for various reasons. ANYWAY, super mura ng fares ng PAL. Naka book kami ng family ko ng Manila to Toronto (for July - mag babantay kami ng pamangkin hehe) na USD733/head round trip ALL IN (as in even travel tax and fuel surcharge!) tapos for December na $2600+++
buy one take one na business class! Ang mura.

Yung ticket na nakuha ko noon na Cathay MNL-YYZ-MNL was $1300 yata tapos yung sa Korean naman $1500. Regular price ng PAL is around $1700 yata for economy class. Mura na talaga ito kasi kung one way kukunin niyo eh usually parang $900, more or less.

Same pala yung fares for Vancouver.

Super haba nga lang ng pila and nakakaloka, pero worth it naman yung hintay.

FYI lang! :) Good luck to everyone!

Hindi pa kami nag apply. Kailangan pa kasi ni hubby kumuha ng IELTS. Baka sa March na maka IELTS. Nag email ako sa seneca about his case, di pa sila nag reply eh.
Hello! :) Seneca din dapat ako for Winter Term, got my visa pero di ako tumuloy. :) Still thinking if magsstudy pa ako sa Canada kasi gusto ko Masters na pero ang hirap makapasok sa university!

Ang ganda sa Seneca - Newnham Campus. I was able to visit last September.

Good luck sa inyo! Anong campus ng Seneca pala? :)

Hi. Sa may york campus. Pansin ko sa processing mo ang bilis ng pagka process. One month and a half lang. Mag isa ka lang nag apply. Or May kasama ka ibang dependents na nag apply? Okay yun sis mag masteral ka na lang. Para one year ka lang mag aaral and makaka pag file ka agad ng papers for PR kahit walang work.

Oo nga eh parang mas madali talaga tsaka hindi super costly compared to a three-year post secondary degree. Mag-isa lang ako nag-apply nun, no dependents. Tapos ang bilis ng medicals (St. Lukes) kahit pinabalik pa ako.

Thee year post secondary program din kunin ng hubby ko. Una dapat two lang pero sa george brown. Kaso wala kasing CO-OP sa george brown pagdating sa diploma. Na search ko best daw ang seneca pag dating sa IT course and maganda daw co-op program. Pinag aagawan daw ng IBM company sa toronto ung ma co-op students from seneca. Keep us posted kung matuloy ka sa Seneca. :)
