May alam po kayong magandang school if course is business?
Ako po noon nag dedicate ng mahabang oras sa pag google ng reviews and statistics sa mga standing ng schools na nag offer ng gusto ko aralin. I also visited the schools din the year before and requested for a campus tour para masigurado ko na masusulit ko yung gagastusin ko :) Pero sa observation ko, as long as publicly funded ang school, ok naman pati mga facilities :)

Mas maganda po ba with co-op yung course? What are the advantages and disadvantages? TIA :)
If I can do it again, dun ako sa may co-op kasi may mailalagay ka na agad sa resume. I had to improvise and do it during my free time pero I am assuming na mas structured and mas madami matututunan if may systema yung co-op. Sa akin kasi since informal, nilagay lang ako sa sulok sabay pinagawa ng web pages and mobile apps with very little training

Hello Sirs,

Need your comment:
Philippine Educational Background: Bachelor in Business
Experience : Accounting / Bookeeping
Intended Program in Canada : Hospitality Management

Is it ok? or chances for refusal reason / Proposed study are not resasonable

I still not submit my SP application.
I can change or make strong reason why I will take the Program in Canada

Thanks mga Sirs.
It depends on how you present your application. Ako businessman with economics degree tapos IT ang kukunin or Masters in Environmental Science, or Masters in Spatial Analysis pero pinalad naman on my first attempt. Basta be honest with your application :)

regular stream po ba or SDS? nasusunod naman yung 5 weeks processing. usually yan ang time allowance ng processing nila but may mga natatapos ng maaga. usually, medical request comes few days after lodging the application. kaya yung iba nag upfront medical na prior to applying para di na ma-delay sa pag process.
grade school pa pang po ung anak ko. hopefully mabilis ung application nya. thanks

my nag puchase d po b dito ng GIC as POF pero regular stream?
I'm also planning to do this. Pwede naman sya, though hindi naman required ang GIC for regular stream. Planning to have GIC + additional PoF para mag strengthen lang ang Study Permit application (in terms of funds) ok din kung may GIC ka para hindi ka na magdadala ng malaking pera going to Canada or have money transfer from Philippines, etc..

it will depend on the assessment of the Visa Officer, Proof of Funds is just one of them. I have seen others na malaki ang PoF pero na denied din. Make a good SOP aside from the basic requirements. pero tingin ko mas ok if you go SDS, (GIC plus 1 year paid tuition and IELTS) to stream line other requirements.

Thanks for the tips @mic-mic , this is noted! So I assume your course has no coop? I guess coop is like ojt. Sino naghahanap ng company, yun student or school? and you need to apply pa ba sa company once your coop commence?

Sa determine your eligibility o sa application.
Me question:
Is work an essential component in your studies?
Yes or No.

Ano dapat isagot?
Meron kasi coop program yun course na kunin ko. 16 weeks coop.

Thanks in advance sa input and advise.

Family Information Form (IMM 5707 which includes information on your siblings) fully
completed, dated and signed.-ito po ba yung ifa-follow? kasi yung from IMM5707 po walang sibling info.

And yung question po under background info na "Have you previously applied to enter or remain in Canada?", kapag tourist visa po, included dun? (just wanna make sure lang po hehe)

Yung tuition po ba sa application form, do I need po to answer yung tuition fee for whole duration of my study?
Thank you!

FYI lang po. You can use your BDO peso account for wire transfer transactions may it be sending a payment for your tuition or buying GIC. You just need to ask yung nag-paprocess nang ganun sa BDO (international wire transfer), kasi even the manager doesn't know what would be the process. Nung pumunta ako noon, the manager told us na kelangan pa iconvert nang dollar but yung nag-paprocess said pwedeng diretso from peso account and not dollar account. What I did was, may mga form na binigay, I think 3 forms (hindi ko na po alam exact names nung forms)

(1) wire transfer form (yung mga infos nang pag-ttransferan at yung account details mo sa BDO)
(2) I'm not sure sa tawag, pero it's a form na you're agreeing to buy a foreign money from them
(3) regarding you're liability sa pagpadala

May dadaanan na bank kaya it will take 3 days. Mine was 3 days lang kasi. We went to BPI as well, kaso parang mas mahal sila. 41.9976 vs 41.58. This is just a shared info, it's still your discretion which bank you would choose.
