a frnd of mine was an international student when she had to drop her program in the first semester due to some family issues and had to go back home and now after 2 yrs she has applied in the same college for a diff program in ottawa starting sep 2015, but what is the process from applying from outside canada? she did her high school in ottawa and lived in ottawa for 7 yrs bcz she came originally with her family as a diplomat and then after 5 yrs her status was changed to intl student first she took a program that she didnt like and switched to another program in second yr that she ended up dropping plus i dont think she was doing too well either bcz of personal issues she had going on at that time, so does anyone know if she gets accepted this time in the new program how long with the study permit take and then the visa, btw she is applying from pakistan, n she was wondering does she still needs to take an ielts test and for her academic transcripts does she sends her high school transcripts that she had from ottawa? she only has her 10th standard from pakistan, so basically wht educational documents she will need to submit?
