Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?
- Thread starter sgmav
- Start date
hello pips..mag iiwan lng po ako ng word of encouragement dun sa mga family na i-aapply ung kanilang mga anak after ng SV and OWP approval..as mentioned in my previous posts, I am an OFW as well as my husband. We did online application for my Student Visa and his Open Work Permit and was able to receive the approval then. After receiving our approval, I did the Visa application for our children ages 11, 6 and 4..For 6 and 11 I applied Student Visa and for the 4 yrs old I applied Visit Visa..Today we receive the PPR and will be submitting the passports upon our return to Philippines ( we are currently still in KSA processing for our children's exit visa )..anyway, here are some thoughts and guidelines on how I did their Visa application..
For Student Visa : I did the "Eligibility Test " in behalf of my eldest daughter (11 yrs old ). When asked about LOA, I answered YES..and on the question if another family member will be applying together with her application I answered YES also ( thus added my 2nd daughters application and our youngest Visit Visa application ) thus I was able to apply the 3 of them in one application..
IMM1294e - when asked about the school I put "To be determined (daughter of incoming international student) "
IMM5645e - PA is my eldest daughter..answered YES on accompanying parent and YES to brothers and sisters
IMM5257e - when asked about my youngest Visit Details, Purpose is OTHERS ( reason: To be/Stay with my Parents ) and the duration is the same with my Study Permit. The Person to Visit is me and my husband and the address I indicated is the address of our friend living in Canada. I likewise asked this friend to provide a Letter of Support for accommodation and submitted a copy of her lease agreement and proof of our relationship.
When you will be asked for LOA, just provide a Letter of Explanation and indicate this " This request is in reference to https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare/minor-children.html in which minor children of an international student does not require a Letter of Acceptance. " I then added a copy of my LOA, SV, OWP and both our Letter of Introduction ( the letter you received in your CIC account upon approval of the visa )
And make sure to submit a Letter of Intent ( Visa Request Letter ) in behalf of your children. Write that their presence in Canada will help you achieve your goals and that this experience will also benefit the children for they will be learning new things while in there. And do not forget to include that after your study you'll return to your country of residence.
For supporting docs naman, in addition to the LOA and Visa copies ng parents and Property records, the usual lng, their Birth Certificate, Travel Records ( all stamped Visa if meron ), school records for Student Visa appln ( last 3 ) and copy of their Resident ID ( for those OFW na same sa amin.. translated if hindi english )
POF : for this application, nasa CAD 55,000 ang inilagay ko with supporting Bank Certs and Statements ( please note that in 3 Bank Certs and isinubmit ko, only 1 ang may statement, the other one is Passbook record lng and the other 1 is wala kasi newly opened xa, wala pang 1 mth..heheh ) and then the receipt for the first semester tuition fee na ibinayad ko before..
Hope this helps...

Hi guys i'm just going to update my application status as of today august 1, 2018 ( 32 days from the date i passed my documents sa vfs makati)
i been following this thread since last month nobody posted about the update of eligibility...
doon sa " we will sent you email when we start reviewing your eligibility" di po sila ng send ng email, they only change the status there, so better check your gc account or doon sa mga di nalink better to link it na po, to avoid your worries and stress thinking about what is going on your application...
better to check your gc account at night time they always make updates in the afternoon ( a tip for those who need to go to internet cafe only to check the status)
good luck to us...

That’s sad to hear.. i’m sorry but maybe you can re-apply? What are the reasons they refused?
they did not specify.. they did not send me an email for the reasons. but why is it in review of my medical results says that I do not need a medical exam.. But I received an email last July 12 to undergo medical exam then just last july 26 I did my medical exam. do you know why? I'm a little bit confuse.
You can apply for CAIPS to get a detailed information as to why your application was refused.
if you done your medical exam and the result was passed ... the update supposed " you passed the medical exam" ( it will expired 30 days after the request)
based sa post nyo po wlang update ung medical nyo... are you sure the clinic passed it?
this might be one of the reason of refussal...
apply again as soon as you comply those what they ask.. let's be positive!
