Hello, alam ko po mahigpit ang Canada sa immigration rules, kaya po karamihan ng mga VO ni rerefuse ang application dahil hindi mapatunayan ng applicant na babalik pa sila ng pilipinas after studying there. pero try niyo din po mag tanong tanong dito kung may kakilala silang agency to help you Regarding your concern, mejo mahirap po kasi lalo nat nag TNT kayo :(

Hey tipsy,

From what I read before and from my conversation with international departments of schools (Ryerson, Humber, Sheridan), you're visa's validity cannot go beyond that of your passport's. So you might also have to renew your permit when that day comes. Some students were even required to renew their permits every year even if they had a 2-year program.

I hope you can answer my question previously posted regarding your denied application at Ryerson. My question was at what point did they told you that you were not qualified? :) Was it during the preliminary assessment or once it was forwarded to the concerned department? I'm already done with the first assessment so I'm just waiting for the department's decision in the following weeks :)

Hey guys!

been a while :D

I arrived at Van one month ago and I'm currently enjoying the city :D

To those who just arrived, I suggest you download the "transit" application on your phones, to guide you on where to ride if you decide to commute. :D


If you have any questions feel free to ask :D

Actually, di pako nag-apply sa ryerson, i just sent email to all ontario university, inisa isa ko lahat ng university sa ontario. Unfortunately, isa si ryerson ang nagsabi na required nila may masters ang student from phils. kahit wala sa website nila. actually hindi nga lang ontario inemail ko halos lahat ng university sa canada kasi na disappoint ako nung nakita ko sa UTM na dpat may masters ang mga pinoy.

Katulad ng univ of manitoba, d ako pede, pero univ of alberta pwede, univ of calgary, d pede, univ of sask, pede ako plus scholarship pa.in the end, univ of ottawa, univ of alberta, vancouver island univ at western ontario univ mga inapplyan ko.

balak ko feb 1 apply sa windsor kaso wl pa kasi sagot univ of ottawa, univ of alberta at western ontario univ sakin. VIU lang with 10k requirements.

prepare ko ontario kaya kahit humber go na ko INCASE na d ako matnggap sa univ of ottawaat western ontario univ. ung alberta last options na tlaga like VIU.

balitaan mko sa humber mo. kasi wl pang reply sakin at walang bawas sa card ko.

Hey tipsy!

Thank you for the clarifications! Yeah, U of T was also a bit strict on that part. Maybe you can also try York University. I emailed the department and while it's true that applicants from pinas need to have a masters, there are instances that they can let you apply via non-standard application. They invited me to apply via the non-standard application route but the cost was very prohibitive for me :D U of Calgary is also ok. I showed them my credentials when I was inquiring and ok naman sila. :)

Regarding Humber, there were compatibility issues with my computer and their files so I ended up sending it via courier and then I heard from them after a week. Then around 4 weeks after, I got an offer letter na. I actually have the offer letter na since December for the Sept intake but I'm still waiting for Ryerson until end of this month before I lodge my application para masabi na I exhausted all my options :D

Question to our seniors/masters:
Is it imperative to pay part of the tuition prior to applying? On the offer letter, it just says something like: "present this to the visa officer when applying for the study permit..." and I can't seem to find in the CIC website any rules regarding to this. Would proof of funds be suffice instead?

i found this link http://futurestudents.yorku.ca/graduate/country/philippines kaya di nako nag apply

They invited me to apply via the non-standard application route but the cost was very prohibitive for me U of Calgary is also ok.
ganyan din sila nung una, vinerify nila TOR ko then sabi imeet the min. requirements kaya pede ako mag-apply then nung pinacoconfirm ko kung outdated na yung link http://grad.ucalgary.ca/prospective/international-students/international-admission-requirements/asia/philippines

sabay reply, sorry, you are right.

Regarding Humber, there were compatibility issues with my computer and their files so I ended up sending it via courier and then I heard from them after a week.
exactly after 1 week may email sila? pede mo ba ishare yung contact person at contact no. kasi in case na wala pa din, ill call them bka dpat magre-apply ako....

thanks!

Wow, cityofsmile. Kita kits nalang tayo sa BVC, what course are you going to take? disability studies yung course na kukunin ko since BVC lang yung may ganung offer sa alberta. Sana maging okay application nating lahat :) mukhang matagal ang processing ng online applicant ngayon, until now wala padin update sa application ko... :/
