Hello,

refused for the second attempt. Regular Stream, Abu Dhabi VO. Country where applying is UAE. Madami na ko nabasa na refused palagi pag sa Abu dhabi. My question is, ok lang ba na magre-apply for the 3rd time via SDS naman this time tapos country where applying is Phils kahit nasa UAE ako? (aware po ako sa requirements ng SDS and eligible naman except sa present address) Sabi kc ng consultant ko, magiging misrepresentation daw pag gnun. Sana may makatulong.. Salamat po ng marami.

Bpi is a commercial bank/universal bank in the Philippines so its okay. However, the saving account must be yours or with your sponsor. If the funds are coming from the business, it is better to show the funds from business savings account. In addition, submit 4-6mos old transactions bank certs.

thank you.. done with my requirements
. maghihintay nalng ako for the student visa. . btw may agency ako base sila sa canada mismo.. my program will start on october 23 2019

Question:

What's the next step after getting the student visa?

Do I need to buy CAD dollar now?
Your replies would be a great help!
Here’s what I plan on doing, that might work for some of you:

I’m planning to exchange some of my PHP to CAD, but I’ll also bring some USD. I don’t want to bring too much cash in my body while in transit, as I’ll be flying alone, and I don’t want to worry about losing my money when I’m napping at the airport or wherever, haha. I’ll bring 1,500 CAD, 100 USD, my ATM/debit card, my Paymaya and a Philippine credit card for Uber and other emergencies. That’s it. Push comes to shove, I can always make a withdrawal from ATMs in Canada or during my layover. My GIC shall take care of the rest when I get to my ultimate destination. If you haven’t paid for housing yet, I suggest you bring more CAD. Check with your bank if you need to request to exchange your money several days before you need it. BPI, for example, needs 3 days lead time. If you haven't booked your flight yet, tip is to get one with insurance especially if you're booking with a third party such as CheapoAir, Expedia, etc. Alternatively, you can also get a travel insurance via Standard Insurance Company, which I usually do when I travel, just in case my luggage is damaged/lost or I get sick during the trip.

Yes. That would be considered lying kasi, if you say you're applying in the Philippines. My take on that is, don't lie, as that may cause a permanent ban. Sayang naman po kung ganon.

Salamat po sa sagot. I dont want to lie kaya UAE pa din nung 2nd attempt ko. Ayun, refused ulit. Pano ba ma address yung country of residence chaka immigration status na ticks?

Hi ErikaLouise,

Should biometrics and medical have been completed/passed from previous application. You can expect decision no later than Aug 21st.

Hope yours get approved this time. All the best!
God bless!

Hello all!

I submitted my biometrics July 31 and I haven't heard back since. Is this normal? I still have my passport, applied through SDS on my own. I'm starting to get scared and nervous since it's almost mid-August. I appreciate any help or answers you can give. Thank you!!

This is kind of off-topic, but has anyone here registered in Centennial College? I want to know how to check my schedule. I already paid half of the tuition. Thank you in advance! :)
Hi eriiiin! Have you done registered? How will we know the class schedules? In my student login account it was block/unathorized.
