Hi,
I applied for a college diploma program in Canada early August and got the acceptation mail in end of this September, which is clearly not enough time to get a study permit (Normal processing times are 12 weeks without biometric info or bureaucratic exchange) since the study program starts in January. So i wanted to opt for the student direct stream since it opened for Morocco last month, but the issue i'm running into regarding the Guaranteed investment certificate is all the Canadian Banks don't even offer GICs for Morocco and Moroccan Banks have no idea what it is, i even called the canadian embassy which redirected me to the visa center and they still didn't even know what it is. The only bank that offers GICs for Moroccans is ICICI Bank but i'm really skeptical about it, and also i don't even think people can wire transfer 10.000cad$ to another country just like that here.
Is there anything i'm missing here ? Is anyone in the same situation as me ? how can it say on the Canada.ca website that SDS is available for Morocco when most Canadian Banks don't even offer GIC programs for us ?
