Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

[kasien189]

Hi! I'm also applying for Study Permit. I have done my research but i will lodge my applications on May-June. My classes will start on August.
here's my answer on your question:

1. you can apply your spouse for OWP (Open Work Permit)
2. yes. you can add her to your Study Permit (SP) application. however, based on my research it would be better to apply SP first then once approve, apply your spouse for OWP/dependent visa.
3. SDS requires that you transfer 10k CAD for GIC. that is the Maximum amount you can transfer on Scotia Bank. other bank docs such as Proof of Funds, bank statements can support the additional cost of your spouse
4. Once you secure your SP, you can apply your spouse for OWP. This would require documents such as Proof of Funds,etc
5. Yes. better to submit your documents early. SDS would take 30 days processing
6. SDS for Study Permit then once approve, dependent visa/OWP after.

Hi Markmo!
Thank you for answering my queries. I have been really nervous since we're not going to process through an agency.
I have already been admitted for the Fall intake this 2018. and I am planning to process my visa application by the end of this month.

We have also been thinking of securing the study permit first before having my husband apply for the dependent/OWP.
If the principal/study permit holder is still in the Philippines and we submit his application for dependent/OWP, will that raise a problem? Do I have to be in Canada before he is given a OWP?

Thank you hoping for all the best in both of our visa applications!

Naguluhan po ako bigla, is it true na after 6 months from the start of our study bago mabibigyan nang permit to work-off campus? Although, I've read po na (some) of approved student visa received 2 permits at the border, student permit and co-op permit (sa pagkakaintindi ko, they have this because their program needs to have such permit) while others were saying na if allowed to work-off campus naka-indicate na sa paper na marereceive dito sa pilipinas.

I've read din po yung qualified to be given a work-off campus permit sa cic. Clarifications lang po. Please and thank you.

Hindi. Once na may study permit at work permit ka na, you can work off campus.

Hi Kasien,

as far as I know, once you have a SP (even you are still in the Ph), you can apply right away for OWP for your husband, there is no time table on when you should apply for OWP. The thing is you must convince the Visa Officer on why should your husband (and children) come with you, this will all depend on your Husband's application of his OWP. Make sure that you have a good SOP. Check your inbox, i have a message for you.

Hi Markmo,
I see well that is comforting to know. I think it will be smarter to secure the SP first however, I received a response from VFS and they told me that we have to send in our applications together though. But I have read here that there are others who secured the SP first before applying for OWP.
Will do.

VFS has no knowledge of the immigration law. What they know is what documents you need to submit for a complete application.
