hello everyone! i might as well share my experience with SP application.. Smiley

June30 - application submitted (online)
1st week of july (forgot the exact date) - med request
july 23 - med rcvd
july 30 - got a refusal letter. feeling ko binagsakan na ako ng universe. pero hindi ako nawalan ng pagasa. so i spent the whole day reviewing and making a stronger sop and nagaply ako ulit july31. then, since i was really dowen and couldnt think well, i uploaded the worng file under the letter of explanation tab. but then i took the time to calm myself and review everything from pages to pages and submitted another application on Aug1. on aug 4, i received a letter from manila immigration that i have to withdraw my duplicate application.
Aug14 - received a notif na nawithdraw na ang isa and minutes later, i received a request of passport. whew! God is really really great! i hope hindi mawalan ng pagasa mga nirefuse. its ok to feel down, to cry.. pero sige lang, be positive pa rin. sometimes, tinitest lng ni God ang willingness natin sa isang bagay. pray lng ng pray.. Goodluck everyone...

Happy for you ,, sana dumami pa yung ma approve para lahat happy, and youre right about not giving up =)

Thank you. Nakuha mo na ba passport mo? Gaano kaya katagal kung personal ang pagpass ng passport!

As for my experience here in UAE, kung sa embassy po kayo mag susubmit, it'll only take them a few hours to stamp the passport. You may be asked to submit it and then go back after ___ hours, within the day. Not just sure with how it goes in Pinas

I think it wont be a disadvantage as long as your parent's or sponsor's funds is sufficient...

@aly911: For international students, hindi required ang PDOS. I think para lang siya sa PR or those who plan to settle permanently in Canada. In theory kasi kailangan natin bumalik after studying hehe

I need help ulit!

I am getting ready to apply for my student permit for January 2015 term. When I checked my passport, it is expiring in October 2015 So I renewed my passport kahapon hoping to get it through express processing (2 weeks) kaya lang when I got there, the minimum time to get the renewed passport is in 6 weeks. So that means I will get the new passport end of September

They did not punch a hole in my old passport, meaning I can still use it until I get the new one.

So my questions are these:

a) Is it okay to apply for my student permit with my old passport?
b) If I decide to wait for the new passport, is it enough time to apply for January 2015?

Hope there are members here who have had a similar experience.

Thanks in advance
