Winter 2020 Intake: (SDS/Non SDS) Pakistani Students Only

[alijumani]

Hi!
Please guide me about complete GIC payment procedure. As Pakistani bankers really don't have proper knowledge. Please describe what guidline does Canadian bank manger provided you to do the wire transfer?

I wouldn't go with Scotia bank as they are very slow and there process is very weird, any typo no matter how small even a comma mismatches from your bank/CNIC address with the address you provided them with initial signup your transfer will going to be rejected. If everything works out great they issue GIC in 8 to 10 business days where as Habib Canadian bank issue with in 2 days upon successful transfer of money.

Make sure your address from CNIC and bank exactly matches the address you provide to signup GIC account.

Once you do online GIC signup from habib canadian bank they will email you a file routing information take that information paper to your bank and they will transfer the money for you to your GIC account. Link below:

so

so in Transactions the beneficiary is not referred to one who is receiving the money ??

They are, beneficiary is also you because the money is going from your self or parent joint account to your GIC account in Canada. However, since you are still in Pakistan and do have a status in Canada the address under beneficiary details must be your Pakistani address. Hope this helps

Hi, I am applying in Dalhousie University for January 2020 intake, admission deadline of which is 31st August. But I am hesitant as I am not sure if applying this much late would be appropriate since the university website states that international students should apply as early as possible. If anyone has already applied for Dalhousie University, then I'll be really grateful if they can share their journey or can walk us through the process & steps.

Hello, i applied in dalhousine on 31st itself. Yet they are considering my application. I received an email saying it will take a month to asses your application

You have to send it yourself. The money has to come from your account.

Hi! I have done Bachelors in Computer Engineering and working in IT industry for past 2.5 years, planning to do Master's from Canada in sept.2020. My brother is a Canadian citizen and parents have also got Canadian super-visa (for 10 years).

Here are my some questions:

1) I have heard there are strong chances of rejection if i applied for Canada as i have strong ties in Canada? How can i fix it? any suggestions?
2) First year MS fee + GIC ($10,000) around $20k-$24k would be sufficient for the whole process or i have to show bank statements(proof of funds) other than that?

Kindly answer as i can't waste time if the rejection chances are high,i must plan for MS from another country.

Thanks

Hi Green what is your country of residence?
I applied for my brother in law on Oct 3 under SDS. Me and my wife are citizen and my mother in law also holds super visa. My MIL visited us this summer for almost 3 months and she left for back home last month. Hopefully this will help the case as she didn't abuse the visa.
My BIL just finished his A levels and coming for 3 years diplomats program Computer programming analysis in Seneca college with no job experience. We are keeping our fingers crossed.

Hi Ali,

Thanks for the reply, I'm from Pakistan. My parents visited Canada last year and my brother is in Canada from the past 2 decades.

I hope your BIL get the visa and job too, keep me posted and let me know if rejection on strong ties is is a myth or there is any truthiness in it.
