Hi Afrank,

I would prefer to make the job of the Visa officer easier. So I suggest you find a way to merge both letters into one and its should not be more than 1,500 words or 3 pages.

Wisbung you the very best.

Hello Omofar,
I had the same idea in mind. Thanks a lot. I plan to apply through the NSE process. I have my IELTS result which I scored above their cut-off, and my sponsor will generate a bank statement. I've been told the NSE process takes just 2weeks before the VO's decision is made. Can you help confirm if this is true or does it take longer?
Also, how exactly are all the numerous documents meant to be arranged in an orderly manner through this online application cause that's where I faltered before. Any advice on this?

Thank you for your swift response and I look forward to your reply again.

personally, I don't think no timeline is guaranteed with these guys. Also, ensure you have upfront medicals done if you didn't do it in the previous application. Best of luck.

I totally agree with @Jackie Tomson.

NSE taking 2 weeks is a myth!

It will take a minimum of 8-12 weeks if all your documents are in order. The volume of applications received by the Canadian embassy coupled with the sloths working there ensures that no application can be completely dealt with in 2 weeks.

All the best.

Hello guys. Hope you are all well. I do have a question on how I will write/defend my SOP.
Background: I graduated in 2009 and I enrolled in MBA and completed 4 subjects only way back in 2010. I did not complete it.
Plan: I plan on getting Business Management in Canada.
Concern: VO might have questions on why I did not pursue my MBA in my country and it seems like I'm downgrading from MBA to business management. Also, he might have concerns on why I want to study in Canada if it's available back home.

Can you please help me/advise on what possibly can I include my SOP as justification/reason? Thank you very much! :)

Not a problem with respect to purpose. But he still has sponsorship and most especially ties to his home country to battle with.

Safest time is 4 weeks before your semester starts.

You cannot work before the school starts. You are only allowed to work part time (max 20hrs per week) during regular semester.
