Hi jass2323,
I am also planning to apply a student Visa on February 2014, taking up ESL course in one of the University in Kelowna BC. I am currently here in Shanghai, China worked as live in nanny and at same time study Mandarin Language. When I read your message about the refusal of your Student visa, I got worried too but i will still try with the Bank Certificate. I would like to ask you if is there an age limit to study ESL in Canada? Did you also submit a bank certificate and how much? Please to all other members who are updated to the immigration rule about the qualified age to apply Student visa for ESL course, please let me update. Thank you so much
