When did you do the ielts test?
I am also trying to apply for my brother under sds and today was his ielts test. Let see fingers crossed
I took IELTS on Sunday and was told that result should be available by Friday. I already have the offer letter and paid tuition deposit of 1500 CAD. My college didnt ask for IELTS beacuse my undergrad is from USA. I only took IELTS to rake advantage of SDS program.
Yes thats correct. I have no problem with that. Its 17k. So i will have to pay 15.5k more plus 10k for GIC. Money isnt the issue here. I am just hoping that my visa gets approved so i can have piece of mind even though my program starts in MAY and if i am approved i will probably leave begining of April.
Hi!
Can you please let me know about how did you pay for GIC, through which Pakistani bank and from which Canadian bank you purchased GIC? And second thing is that in online application for SDS visa there is no option to upload police certificate, so is it really necessary to opt for police certificate? Do you have any idea?
You can submit in additional documents. Yes its required. Dont go through bank go to Money Gram. They charge small fee for transaction and money is available in 2-3 days in your account abroad. Plus their exchange rate is much much better then bank. They gave me 118 PKr per 1 CAD whereas bank was giving me 124pkr per 1 CAD.
But I can't use moneygram or 3rd party exchanges. I am going to purchase GIC of Scotia bank and in the application form It is mentioned that wire transfer must be from a bank account on my name and the name should match exactly with name on passport.
I second to that. Funds must be transferred from either applicant of their parents bank account only.
My apology i misread your question i thought u were trying to pay the tuition fee....for GIC yes your bank need to transfer the funds. Which bank account do you have. Remember send little more then what they ask because middle bank which is located in USA (intermediate bank ) take some fees...any foreign transfer goes through intermediate bank to beneficiary and you are responsible for all fees. Beneficiary wont pay exchange fee so if they receive less then 10k they will reject it which will delay the whole process.
I forgot to mention u can only make a foreign transfer if u have foreign currency account. So first you need to open a foreign currency account in US doller. Then transfer the money to that account then have bank make a transfer to Canadian account....do it asap or atleast open forign currency account without that bank will not transfer any fund to your foreign account
Thank you so much. I will pay some extra amount than required. I am going to open up a dollar account at UBL and then I will apply for Scotia bank's GIC.
