Hi everyone.
I am applying from Colombia to get a study permit. I got accepted at the University of Toronto for a MEng (it starts on fall 2014) and I plan on finishing it in two years.
I came upon this page after almost finishing the filling in of my formats, so I didn't have the chance to take advantage of all the info I've found now.
My profile's this:
I have a bacherlor's in engineering from 2010, graduated with an average of 4.14/5.0.
I presented my TOEFL test (that was accepted at U of T) and got 110/120.
I have also recently finished a Masters in Integrated Management Systems (it was online while I was working), but I still don't have my diploma. However, I wrote down this info on my SoP.
I have worked ever since I graduated, so I have approximately 4 years of working experience. I've had different jobs due to better opportunities everytime.
In my supporting documents I attached a bank account certificate with the minimum required (10.000 CAD) that I got at the beginning of july from selling my car. Additionally I enclosed all of my father's financial supports (bank statements, a Certificate of release and transfer of real estate, and his income declaration for the past two years). He's going to be my sponsor and I attached a letter where he stated that he's going to be my sponsor. I attached this in spanish (notarized) and a translation of the document (from an official translator). I also attached a certificate from a cooperative that I'm an associate of, where they stated they have approved a student credit line to finance my studies. They approved the fee of my first year, but it says the credit is renewable next year (to cover my second year's fee). I wanted to attach my tuition already paid, but I couldn't pay by the time I had scheduled to go (the VFS is in Bogota and I live in another city). However, I have already paid for it just in case they ask for proof. Finally I attached an SoP saying why I want to study that MEng, why Canada, and stating that I have all my family here in Colombia.
My papers were sent on july 18th, and they wrote to me last week for a medical examination, which I'll be having the day after tomorrow.
What do you guys think? Do you think I have a chance of getting my study permit approved? I'm scared because I've read in this forum all these people with similar profiles that got their permits rejected, so I don't know if I stand a chance or not.
Thank you!
