Hello friends,

I have been a silent observer of this forum and have learned a lot from your posts. However, I'm seeking expert opinion regarding my case as it is quite complicated.

I am an applicant from Sri Lanka. I applied to Seneca College for Fall 2012 for PG certificate in financial services practitioner (2 semesters/1 year program with internship) and got admission. I applied for visa on the 19th of July but I havent received any medical calls as yet.

My profile -
2004 GCE O/L 5A's, 1B and 2C's
Joined American National College in Sri Lanka and studied 2 years of the American engineering program and transferred to USA in 2007 to do a bachelors in ME. As it was my first experience away from home, I didnt do well in studies as I found it hard to get on with life all by myself. I had to undergo a surgery in 2009 and since it was so expensive in USA, I had to come back to Sri Lanka in 2009 discontinuing my degree. It took me 7 months to recover and thus, I could not go back to USA. Nevertheless, I continued my American degree in business in Sri Lanka and graduated in 2011. I have since been working in my family business and am a director of our well established business. Due to a suggestion by a friend (he said I have a strong profile and have more than 67 points that you need to qualify for PR), I applied for Canadian PR under FSW in Jan 2012 and was refused due to my intelligibility.

Because I loved Canada so much, I didnt want to give up and so I hired a consultant based in Canada and applied for study permit with his assistance. He said that I have a bright chance of getting the study permit as I have a good travel history, family ties and etc. I even got admission from 4 Australian universities for Masters in Professional Accounting and MBA but I have given Canada the first preference.

My IELTS scores - General overall bands 8.5/Academic overall bands 7.5 with no band less than 6.0

Submitted a net worth assessment of my father, deposited approx $25,000 in my savings account to prove that I have sufficient funds for studies in Canada. I have submitted all documents relating to my business, bank statements, investment portfolios and etc.

My parents have visited Canada twice and been to all developed nations, hence I forwarded their passports as well to support my case.

What do you guys think of my chances? I'm quite worried but still I'm trying to be optimistic as I have not misrepresented any information. :)
 
u surely will. :)
 
Thank you neehar and ms.mech for the optimism. :D

I'm happy to say that I got my medical call today. Went through the medical procedure today itself and all that is with the hospital now. They said they will forward to medical docs in 3 days. Its strange that CHC does not have a medical processing center in the country that I'm applying in. It is going to Manila, Philippines for further processing. It is said that it will take 3-4 weeks for Canadian immigration to process the medical reports of mine. I'm afraid of whether they will release my visa (hopefully, if i pass the medical exams) in time for the orientation which is due on the 27th of August. What do you think friends?

One of my friends who also applied from Sri Lanka in 2010 got his visa to study bachelors in Memorial Uni in just 10 days because he had applied late. Hope they will also act prompt for my case as well ;D
