Hi Rachel thank you for sharing this video, I find it very useful, my sister and I are processing her application through an agency to come here in Toronto as a student😊 We pray that she’ll get the approval 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I am also a newbie sharing my journey as an autism mom ❤️
Hi Elizabeth, yes I will make more of these case studies as references for what not to do in a SP Application. I feel the best way to learn is from mistakes. 😊👍
Hi Rachel, hope you an do a video for family application? Student visa with OWP and minor children. Appreciate all your videos and been watching it for the past weeks.
Medyo fishy nga nuh? I remember din in 2017, may nabasa ako sa Canadavisa forum 20M refused din. Kaya talagang kahit marami ka pera but you cannot justify where it came from then it would be a red flag pa din. Ilagay mo nalang un sarili mo sa posistion ng VO, kahit kaw papa isip ka san galing pera ni applicant, right? So make sure lang na no loop holes :) Good video Rachel! Keepit up!!! #FIlipinoUA-camrofCanada ! Wohooo hahaha :D
You’re absolutely right and I agree with everything you say. 😜👍 It’s true that Immigration officers deal with the same application differently, so aspiring applicants need to be meticulous in explaining everything on their application. And I’ll try to give more samples of this in my upcoming videos. Thank you MC for your input, I admire you for the information you also give on your channel 😊❤️💯
My cousin applied as an international student in Ontario 2 years ago..and she was 45 years old at that time. Now, she's under post graduate permit. Her husband and 2 kids are in Canada as well.
Hi RR!! Congrats on your PR!! I wanted to ask about proof of funds. If your personal funds + sponsors funds are more than enough do you still need to show other bank / investment documents of sponsor? Or no need? Need your opinion :)
Hi RR! What if I was denied a tourist CA visa in 2016, do you think that would affect my credentials when I apply for student permit? Thanks! Your videos are really informative and so helpful!!! ❤️
Hi April, they may see that in your immigration record but as long as you have a well supported and well documented Study Permit Application package with a Strong letter of explanation, it’s still very possible to get a positive response from IRCC.Goodluck on your application dear 😊❤️
I love watching all your videos. They’re all indeed very informative. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I finished my bachelors degree way back year 2014. I’d been working since then. In fact, I am currently working in Taiwan for about 3years now. And I am planning to move and study to Canada right after my contract ends. Questions: 1.Do you think, I’ll be able to make it through my application for international student. Shouldn’t I possibly get denied for SP? 2. Do I need to have my credentials assess by WES prior to apply to a certain universities? 3. What will happened then right after finishing the program? Do I really need to go back to Philippines or will it be possible for me to stay with my relatives for a couple of time while working on with PR application?
Hi Mgyan, Thank your for your detailed question. 1. Denial is always a possibility. You need to be assessed prior to making an application. Since you have worked and have a bachelors degree, you an SOP that explains in detail reasons for studying and supporting documents. 2. Depends on your university’s requirement and the program you choose. 3. Make sure you apply for a DLI school so that you can get your PGWP. If you did it correctly, then you can stay back for max 3 years on PGWP to work. After working 1 year in skilled job, you can apply for Express Entry. If you have high enough score, you may be selected to apply for PR. Hope that helps😊
Very informative video. Happy New Year and all success in 2021. Three questions please: 1. Is it cheaper to live off or on campus while studying? 2. Which Province is better to live in: New Foundland and Lambador or Saskatchewan? 3. Where do you live? Please do some more real cases. Thank you for your reply. All the best to you in 2021. Rgds
1. I find it cheaper to live off campus while studying. Because most rentals and dorms are more expensive studying in Vancouver. Generally too, rentals near schools and in schools are more expensive to stay in. But it could be different elsewhere. 2. Ohh that's a tough one to answer for me. Living in British Columbia, I have a bias :P The provinces you mentioned are more quiet and population is generally smaller too. It's bitterly cold in both and some consider it barren. :( But different strokes for different folks. 3. I'm based in Vancouver, British Columbia! And loving it
Hello Rachel, this is an informative video, thank you for the analysis🙏My parents took out a loan to support my study (it's not a student loan), and I'm planning to give the bank balance of my parents with an affidavit letter. Is it likely to be refused because of the large sum of deposit in their account?
Thank you Rachel for this informative video.. keep shooting and sharing information. I have an inquiry, do you have a recommendation for and immigration lawyer to consult while submitting my study permit visa... I got two refusals in 2018. Thanks 😊
May I kindly ask the reasons for refusal? ☺️ Also, because I did the application myself-I can’t really think of an immigration lawyer to refer you to at this time. But I appreciate you asking me that question ☺️👍
@@rrdancel hello Rachel.. rejected reason because my wife was applying for study permit to get a diploma and I was applying for work permit because we applied together.. but this was in 2018.. this time I am going to apply alone and leave my wife and two kids behind :(. Additionally, I am applying to MA degree this time. But I am affriad of the rejection history. That is why, i am planning to get the support of am immigration lawyer.
I’ve had a classmate in that same age range that was able to study in Canada, tho I’m not sure if she was able to immigrate since her CRS score took a big hit from getting very little points for Express Entry. But case in point, it’s possible to study in Canada even at that age 😊👍
Hi Gracie, thanks so much for your question. It's not as noticeable, most days have been pleasant with the occasional showers. But generally there is a good balance for all seasons.
This is really useful advice. I have been working in Singapore for almost 11 years and I'd like to migrate Canada via further studies option. I am also thinking of applying Express entry since I have less of confidence with my age, 45 years old. I am married with a kid , who are currently living in my home country and my main intention is to migrate canada for my son' future ( especially his education).
You may want to calculate your CRS score before taking the study pathway. I say this is because of your age. Applicants 45 years old age or older by the time the apply for the Express Entry will have 0 points as compared to applicants between the ages of 20-29, which will get the maximum of 110 points. This means you are less competitive to be selected for PR. I am just being honest.
I knew a 45 year old applicant from China and she was refused too. The visa officer Stated her age and the fact that she was single and a music teacher . He was Not convinced she'd go back to China.
That’s quite unfortunate really. But I’ve had classmates past 35 years old that got to study in Canada - it really depends on the complexity and completeness of your application and a well written SOP! 😊
Hi thanks for this. Regarding large lump sum deposits, would it be okay if I provide a "gift deed" affidavit along with it? Do u know of anyone perhaps who did the same? Thank you
Very good video. A query. When applying for the study permit, if I demonstrated financial solvency for the first year, will you have to demonstrate how I will finance the second and third years?
Preferably have at least 75% of your tuition covered before making an application to study in Canada. Although it is possible to work while studying, because you are only given a max of 20 hours per week to work as a student - it may be challenging and stressful on you to carry the burden of shouldering your tuition and living expenses in Canada. To lessen unnecessary strain, save enough before coming here. Some students even make minimum-wage and with that it is near impossible to support yourself with that alone here in Canada.
Hello, thanks for the video! Would you happen to be aware of the refusal reasons for Express Entry pathway? I'm planning to pursue the NL immigration pathway next year but not sure of the risks of refusal.
Hi RR, I'm currently working in japan as an ofw after 3 years i will go back to ph. I'm working here to support my education in Canada. As you mentioned the bank statement should be current 6 months prior to application. If i will be showing my bank statement as a POF it would be a red flag right? Would I get a higher chance to get a student permit if i show a GIC as a POF? I need your advice. I really wanted to pursue my passion in Canada. Thank you! ♥️
much better to plan and think a 100% before doing a decision, rrdancel your video helps a lot so much keep doing this and upload a lots of video so, a lots of people be educate before they decide to go in Canada 🍁
Thank you for your support. ❤️ Yes, I want others to learn from my experience so they don’t have a hard time adjusting in Canada. It’s the least I can do 😊🤗
Thank you, a helpful video indeed. Question, does the money needed to fund my stay in canada or as we commonly know “showmoney” needed to be in my own bank account? Or a family member or a sponsor willing to support my study with letter to show for the immigration officer will suffice?. Me and my partner are planning to study there . We’ve seek help from a agency,Hopefully in the long run ,live there eventually, but after watching some of videos of refusals I’m a bit skeptical . For it requires a large money lets just say investment. Can you give us advice on what steps to take? Thank you
My father is a freelancer, i mean he works by himself through the internet and he earns between 3,000 to 5,000 dollars per month, can i show evidence of that by providing receipts? In addition, I have been a meritorious student three times, can I include that? Also I am 17 years old and i can't have a police certificate, it requires to be at least 18 years old!
Hiiii !! I love your content. I’m from Barcelona and I’m doing a financial plan to do a 2y diploma in my main professional and studies assignment: tourism; Could u help me with more information about ?? I thinking that Vancouver is too expensive by my own .. maybe Niagara ??
Hi, love watching ur videos ❤️ I have a question, my SP was denied due to insufficient financial capacity. What are your tips for me before reapplying again. Thanks 😊
hi my study permit was refused because the officer was not convinced that I have sufficient funds due to the fact that i printed the bank statement and then i made payments to the school. Also, they said that i did not state any arrangements for my children. I applied for the GCSM notes so I was able to see the exact reason.
the selling of the house/property is enough reason for me she isn't planning to go back to her country after the study program :( that was red flag already. it's contradicting the purpose of her personal assets
I think Student pathway is the hardest pathway for PR. Caregiver is the easier pathway because when you arrive in Canada you have the sure program for pathway for PR and you earn money unlike student you can apply work-permit after post graduation and your allowed only for 20 hours of work before you are able to work and to apply student visa you need a lot of money in the bank before you got your student visa from your back home for caregiver you only need a employer to sign you and work for 2 years then you are eligible to apply for PR....over all you will get your PR in 3 years plus you dont have to pay for tuition fee and other expenses.
I beg to differ and let me explain. The student pathway is the most preferred pathway by the government of Canada bc students contribute to the economy. Students brought in 21.6 Billion to the GDP and created 170,000 jobs locally. With these numbers, govt of Canada understands the impact of and benefit of international students to the country. That’s why the new policy of inviting 40,000 students is in place. This number is bigger than all the caregiver programs combined. I’m not speaking from bias - I’m speaking from policy and numbers. The data overwhelmingly favours students. The live in caregiver program is also closed and it has been for over a year and that in itself is very telling of Canada’s demands. It’s also credential-reliant and employer reliant. Hence to even practice in that field, you need certification, training and a job-offer. I don’t mean to criticize your comment. I understand that people may qualify for other programs and have better chances there. It may have worked for you and hence I understand why you’re vouching for it. My point is based on numbers and policy.
Hi, thx for the tips. This clears a lot of things and wish I knew all this before applying for a study permit. I have a few questions though, Is there any other way other than getting a GIC to prove funds. Would showing my bank statements be enough? I have also deposited a large sum in my account a just a few months ago and that sum was provided by my father so will explaining this in a letter suffice or do I need to provide some other proof as well?
@@bluetech7128 I wrote an affidavit letter for my mom and let her sign it (Ex: This is to confirm that I, xxx, mother of xxx, will financially support my daughter during her studies... I found a more reliable template and made my own adjustments) And my mom applied for her bank balance from the bank. I gave these two, the affidavit letter and the account balance sheet, it worked. I also wrote a summary on the first page, mentioning the amount of the required fund and the amount of funds available to me, so it is easier for the officer to know right away I have enough funds.
HELP!! I withdrew 5k from my personal pof bank account over the course of one year for no strong reasons. They weren't supposed to be touched. Now I have to provide a bank statement showing all the funds are still there. I'm planning to redeposit the same amount withdrawn but i think the transaction history is going to be a big problem. Any advice? thanks
Hi 👋 I’m planning to apply study permit but scared of getting refused coz my mom is a canadian citizen. So maybe the immigration officer will think that I’ll be staying for good. Please I need your thoughts on this. 🙏🏻
Hoped it helped you. Just a general question to know if I should post more videos like this. Questions: 1. Was this video helpful for you specifically? 2. How was it helpful towards your situation?
Definitely, yes. Coz right now, i also plan to study in canada. Well apparently, i haven't started anything yet. and truth to be told i was having a hard time preparing for the fees that i will be needing in the future so this gives me an idea on the do's and don'ts of applying. Thanks so much!! Been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now, and find it really helpful in deciding whether i will pursue this or not.
it is said we should provide POF that covers our FIRST YEAR's tuition and cost. What if my program is 20 month length and a total amount of tuition fee is listed on the program's website? Should we calculate the first year's tuition pro rata?
Alright. Thanks for the video. So I have a question. In (6:50 - 7:10), you advised against having a 'large lump sum of money' in months prior to a study permit application. I will like to know approximately how much money will be too much a deposit in my account. Because I have been accepted in a Canadian Institution, and I need around 31,000 CAD to be able to show enough funds. Right now, however, I have just under 12,000 CAD. Next year, I plan to raise that money to at least 30,000 CAD but I want to raise it by having small deposits, so that I avoid any flags in my application due to large deposits of money in my account. I have until May 2021, when I plan to apply for my study permit, to fund my account. I will like to know if i should go ahead rasing the money in my account that way or if you can advise me on a better way to go about it. Thanks so much.
Hi Emmanuel, Thank you for your question. It is very detailed and related to your situation. Please understand that I am not a lawyer and I can not provide you with legal advice. At least I can try to guide you in the direction where you can find your answer. Where are you from? Are you DIY this study permit application yourself?
I'm not really certain because they are other factors that come in play. Is that including expenses for accommodations? Are you single or will you be accompanied by family? Which province will you go? What city do you plan to stay? Will you use that to pay for your remaining tuition? Is that enough to get you by the number of years you'll stay here? Basically, there are several questions to answer before arriving at a conclusion but general rule is to have more than enough. Preferably have money set aside already for full payment of studies and living accommodations. Hope this answers your question.
How much funds do I need to cover a full-time 4 year course in Canada ? for the approval although I have 60000 cad raised already approx and I'm thinking of getting into Canada in the October fall or in the 2022 start kickoff. Can you please help me out ? Though I am smart enough for this. Anyways thanking you in anticipation. 😁
Hi Rachel, about not depositing large amounts into my bank deposit months before applying - what if I received it as a gift from a relatives to help with expenses and/or it was profit sharing from my job?
You would need to provide a detailed explanation in your statement of purpose or letter of explanation. I suggest that you may need a review from someone that is an authorized representative after you have completed your SOP or LOE.
Hi sis! Is there a way I can msg you and ask you something? I don't want to divulge information here.. :) One thing I can ask here though is , what are your tips with a student visa application that brings her family to Canada with her? Is that a red flag? Me and my husband are the only people who can watch our kids and we cannot leave them to our parents sinces my parents still works (Business) and his parents are far away and lives in a small home with a lot of people. I had internship experience in USA for 1 yr last 2013-2014 and didn't overstay and been to several countries as a a tourst. How can I convince Canadian immigration officers that my intentions are pure?
Can I ask, if my bank account only have few thousand Canadian dollar but I’m going to pursue a course in Toronto Canada. My boyfriend (as a foreigner) who holding work permit will be sponsoring me for all the expenses. Will it be high chance to get student visa too? If my account only have around 4-5k but my partner can be my sponsor I’m asking in this case. Please give me a reply as last time I comment in your another video you ignored it. Thank you
I want to ask for an opinion. Starting with my current situation, I'm a graduated bachelor's degree student and I am thinking of studying in CA with post-secondary programs. The problem is my family is broken. My father and mother aren't together anymore although they are not divorced yet. Our source of funds come from my father's work before that happens and my mother is just a simple housewife. My mom's bank statement is like 30k CAD. I choose 1 year post-graduate programs which cost like 15k per year. With a plus for living expense, I can afford the school easily. But my mom doesn't have any work right now and I can't ask documentations from my father as well. So, I can't provide evidence of the source of funds for my study. What should I do? Should I simply give up or is there any other ways to do for the evidence?
I am sorry to hear about your situation. I think its not a good idea to pursue your studies as it will likely leave your mother in financial destitute. Maybe consider this option after you have figured out your finances.
Hi rachel! I'm from Philippines who planning to study in Canada and I just want to ask if have you been interviewed at the Canadian Embassy for a study visa, do you still remember the questions or are you familiar with the common questions during the interview of your application for study visa at Canadian Embassy? hope to answer this thank you so much.
You’re right, there’s No interview! All must be explained thoroughly in your Statement of Purpose Letter (which I have tips on how to write in my YT Channel) ❤️😜✨
Hi dear, thanks for your question! I wasn’t interviewed at the Canadian Embassy 😊 I just submitted my application package and dropped it off at the local visa application centre (VFS Global) ❤️😊
Hi Miss Rachel, nagsearch ako kanina sa DLI ng mga universities. pag sinearch ko ang annual tuition fee ng isang univ, at kunwari lumabas ay $7k per year, does that mean applicable yon sa lahat, pati sa mga international students? And, pano kung working na po sa US then gusto mag international student sa Canada, same tuition fees po ba?
There’s a separate fee list for domestic and international students. The school should point out which fees are for each. Students from outside Canada that are not citizens or permanent residents have to pay the international student fees. Hope this helps! 😊
Hello Rachel, thanks for the video! I have a query. I'm an employed person and have been using my salary for investments. Now I've added the lump sum to my bank account just before applying my study permit 😬 Will this be a problem? I can show my payslips for proof of source for the money though.
i have my auntie ang auncle in canada and they will like sponsor me in my tuition and living expenses the question is should i still need to have a money on my own bank ?
My name is Sneha Sharma I've been accepted to Sheridan for Jan 2022 for a Graduate Certificate course in Film and TV. I have my Bachelor of Arts form University of Delhi and a PG Diploma in Broadcast Journalism. Additionally, I have 5 years work ex relevant to my course. Can you please advice about my chances of getting student visa? I am more concerned about the part that I already have a PG Diploma and yet I'm going for another 1 year course. Is this a complicated case and might lead to refusal?
Currently spamming your videos with comments (kidding). Quick question though: how old is old when applying to Canada? :D Like at what age should we be concerned that we’re more likely to receive a refusal because of our age? (Did i make sense omg) 😅
Thanks for your question dear! 😊University age is between 19-29 or even 35 at the high end (bachelor’s to phD), so beyond that needs more supporting documents and a convincing SOP Generally the higher you are in age, the higher your chances are for refusal IF you do not have a reasonable explanation for why you wish to study.
I am afraid, because i am 17 years old and my father will be responsible for my studies, however i cannot demonstrate that i have a job or police certificate or something like that, this is even the first time ever that i apply to a higher education, my father has 70,000 CA dollars on his account, do i have some possibilities, considering that i don't have past education?
You’re still a young applicant. You’re not expected to have a skilled job nor elaborate study history at this point. So explain what you’ve currently achieved and elaborate on why you want to come to Canada for studies. Explain your career goals or objectives and how getting a Canadian education will help you reach it.
You’re finances are reasonable and you have financial support from your father. Make sure to document that and have your father write a letter explanation they will be financially responsible for you during your stay in Canada.

Before that, the approval rates for Ethiopia was generally low to begin with. But now, the approval rate is lower because it has to do with the current political instability and the armed conflict.

I finished my bachelors degree way back year 2014. I’d been working since then. In fact, I am currently working in Taiwan for about 3years now. And I am planning to move and study to Canada right after my contract ends.
Questions:
1.Do you think, I’ll be able to make it through my application for international student. Shouldn’t I possibly get denied for SP?
2. Do I need to have my credentials assess by WES prior to apply to a certain universities?
3. What will happened then right after finishing the program? Do I really need to go back to Philippines or will it be possible for me to stay with my relatives for a couple of time while working on with PR application?
Hi Mgyan,
Thank your for your detailed question.
1. Denial is always a possibility. You need to be assessed prior to making an application. Since you have worked and have a bachelors degree, you an SOP that explains in detail reasons for studying and supporting documents.
2. Depends on your university’s requirement and the program you choose.
3. Make sure you apply for a DLI school so that you can get your PGWP. If you did it correctly, then you can stay back for max 3 years on PGWP to work. After working 1 year in skilled job, you can apply for Express Entry. If you have high enough score, you may be selected to apply for PR.
Hope that helps😊
Learn from past mistakes and further improve them is a very quality to find in a person.

I’ve had a classmate in that same age range that was able to study in Canada, tho I’m not sure if she was able to immigrate since her CRS score took a big hit from getting very little points for Express Entry. But case in point, it’s possible to study in Canada even at that age 😊👍
@@rrdancel is it possible for me 43 years old to get a PR from PNP or better try EE too

Hi Ms. Rachel thanks for enlightenment !can you please talk about weather in Vancouver, is it true ba na lagi umuulan dyan?
Hi Gracie, thanks so much for your question. It's not as noticeable, most days have been pleasant with the occasional showers. But generally there is a good balance for all seasons.
Hi dear R! Awesome 👍!
Appreciate the comment.😀
Is $36,000 enough proof of funds to study at the University of Toronto with a First Year Scholarship for four years?
This is really useful advice. I have been working in Singapore for almost 11 years and I'd like to migrate Canada via further studies option. I am also thinking of applying Express entry since I have less of confidence with my age, 45 years old. I am married with a kid , who are currently living in my home country and my main intention is to migrate canada for my son' future ( especially his education).
You may want to calculate your CRS score before taking the study pathway. I say this is because of your age. Applicants 45 years old age or older by the time the apply for the Express Entry will have 0 points as compared to applicants between the ages of 20-29, which will get the maximum of 110 points. This means you are less competitive to be selected for PR. I am just being honest.
I knew a 45 year old applicant from China and she was refused too. The visa officer Stated her age and the fact that she was single and a music teacher . He was Not convinced she'd go back to China.
That’s quite unfortunate really. But I’ve had classmates past 35 years old that got to study in Canada - it really depends on the complexity and completeness of your application and a well written SOP! 😊
keep sharing po more informative info that will help our kababayan, godbless
Maraming salamat Po, yes I will keep pushing for more content videos! 😊🎉
Hi thanks for this. Regarding large lump sum deposits, would it be okay if I provide a "gift deed" affidavit along with it? Do u know of anyone perhaps who did the same? Thank you
Very good video.
A query.
When applying for the study permit, if I demonstrated financial solvency for the first year, will you have to demonstrate how I will finance the second and third years?
Preferably have at least 75% of your tuition covered before making an application to study in Canada. Although it is possible to work while studying, because you are only given a max of 20 hours per week to work as a student - it may be challenging and stressful on you to carry the burden of shouldering your tuition and living expenses in Canada.
To lessen unnecessary strain, save enough before coming here. Some students even make minimum-wage and with that it is near impossible to support yourself with that alone here in Canada.
Very helpful,, thanks a lot
You’re most welcome! Thanks for watching 👍🥰
Hello, thanks for the video! Would you happen to be aware of the refusal reasons for Express Entry pathway? I'm planning to pursue the NL immigration pathway next year but not sure of the risks of refusal.
That’s a topic I am hoping to cover as part of my case studies playlist. So please tune in for that 😊❤️
@@rrdancel yes will do, thanks!!!
Nice one. Sana all
I don't even have a fraction of that amount. Makapagasaudi na nga laang
Hi RR, I'm currently working in japan as an ofw after 3 years i will go back to ph. I'm working here to support my education in Canada.
As you mentioned the bank statement should be current 6 months prior to application. If i will be showing my bank statement as a POF it would be a red flag right? Would I get a higher chance to get a student permit if i show a GIC as a POF?
I need your advice. I really wanted to pursue my passion in Canada. Thank you! ♥️
much better to plan and think a 100% before doing a decision, rrdancel your video helps a lot so much keep doing this and upload a lots of video so, a lots of people be educate before they decide to go in Canada 🍁
Thank you so much, that is my mission 😊❤️😜
Thank you for your support. ❤️ Yes, I want others to learn from my experience so they don’t have a hard time adjusting in Canada. It’s the least I can do 😊🤗
@@rrdancel any way happy holiday miss rrdancel god bless and more blessings to come xiaooo!!!
Thank you, a helpful video indeed. Question, does the money needed to fund my stay in canada or as we commonly know “showmoney” needed to be in my own bank account? Or a family member or a sponsor willing to support my study with letter to show for the immigration officer will suffice?. Me and my partner are planning to study there . We’ve seek help from a agency,Hopefully in the long run ,live there eventually, but after watching some of videos of refusals I’m a bit skeptical . For it requires a large money lets just say investment. Can you give us advice on what steps to take? Thank you
Thank you very good

Hey! Great video!! have an inquiry, having an active express entry profile could work negatively on your study visa application? Thanks
This seems like a legal question which is unfortunately beyond me 🥺 Best to ask legal help for that. Thanks for understanding! 👍😊
No
My father is a freelancer, i mean he works by himself through the internet and he earns between 3,000 to 5,000 dollars per month, can i show evidence of that by providing receipts?
In addition, I have been a meritorious student three times, can I include that? Also I am 17 years old and i can't have a police certificate, it requires to be at least 18 years old!

Hi Rachel, could US F1 student visa refusal affects study permit approval.?
Hi, love watching ur videos ❤️ I have a question, my SP was denied due to insufficient financial capacity. What are your tips for me before reapplying again. Thanks 😊
ooooh my recent video answers that question which you can watch here: ua-cam.com/video/eL8hvDcpxFY/v-deo.html
It has something to do with GCMS notes!
hi my study permit was refused because the officer was not convinced that I have sufficient funds due to the fact that i printed the bank statement and then i made payments to the school. Also, they said that i did not state any arrangements for my children. I applied for the GCSM notes so I was able to see the exact reason.
Hi Dear, would you like to contact me on instagram? My IG is rrdancel
the selling of the house/property is enough reason for me she isn't planning to go back to her country after the study program :( that was red flag already. it's contradicting the purpose of her personal assets
I think Student pathway is the hardest pathway for PR. Caregiver is the easier pathway because when you arrive in Canada you have the sure program for pathway for PR and you earn money unlike student you can apply work-permit after post graduation and your allowed only for 20 hours of work before you are able to work and to apply student visa you need a lot of money in the bank before you got your student visa from your back home for caregiver you only need a employer to sign you and work for 2 years then you are eligible to apply for PR....over all you will get your PR in 3 years plus you dont have to pay for tuition fee and other expenses.
I beg to differ and let me explain.
The student pathway is the most preferred pathway by the government of Canada bc students contribute to the economy. Students brought in 21.6 Billion to the GDP and created 170,000 jobs locally. With these numbers, govt of Canada understands the impact of and benefit of international students to the country. That’s why the new policy of inviting 40,000 students is in place. This number is bigger than all the caregiver programs combined. I’m not speaking from bias - I’m speaking from policy and numbers. The data overwhelmingly favours students.
The live in caregiver program is also closed and it has been for over a year and that in itself is very telling of Canada’s demands. It’s also credential-reliant and employer reliant. Hence to even practice in that field, you need certification, training and a job-offer.
I don’t mean to criticize your comment. I understand that people may qualify for other programs and have better chances there. It may have worked for you and hence I understand why you’re vouching for it. My point is based on numbers and policy.
Hi, thx for the tips. This clears a lot of things and wish I knew all this before applying for a study permit. I have a few questions though, Is there any other way other than getting a GIC to prove funds. Would showing my bank statements be enough?
I have also deposited a large sum in my account a just a few months ago and that sum was provided by my father so will explaining this in a letter suffice or do I need to provide some other proof as well?
Hello, may I ask if you get accepted at the end?
I'm in the same situation, my mom took out a loan, so there's a large sum deposited in her account.
Any updates?
@@bluetech7128 I wrote an affidavit letter for my mom and let her sign it (Ex: This is to confirm that I, xxx, mother of xxx, will financially support my daughter during her studies... I found a more reliable template and made my own adjustments)
And my mom applied for her bank balance from the bank.
I gave these two, the affidavit letter and the account balance sheet, it worked.
I also wrote a summary on the first page, mentioning the amount of the required fund and the amount of funds available to me, so it is easier for the officer to know right away I have enough funds.
HELP!! I withdrew 5k from my personal pof bank account over the course of one year for no strong reasons. They weren't supposed to be touched. Now I have to provide a bank statement showing all the funds are still there. I'm planning to redeposit the same amount withdrawn but i think the transaction history is going to be a big problem. Any advice? thanks
Basically, if you're above 35, your chances of refusal get exponentially high.
Pretty much!
Hi 👋 I’m planning to apply study permit but scared of getting refused coz my mom is a canadian citizen. So maybe the immigration officer will think that I’ll be staying for good. Please I need your thoughts on this. 🙏🏻
Thanks for this! ❤️
Hoped it helped you. Just a general question to know if I should post more videos like this. Questions: 1. Was this video helpful for you specifically? 2. How was it helpful towards your situation?
Definitely, yes. Coz right now, i also plan to study in canada. Well apparently, i haven't started anything yet. and truth to be told i was having a hard time preparing for the fees that i will be needing in the future so this gives me an idea on the do's and don'ts of applying. Thanks so much!! Been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now, and find it really helpful in deciding whether i will pursue this or not.
@@rrdancel God bless you!
it is said we should provide POF that covers our FIRST YEAR's tuition and cost. What if my program is 20 month length and a total amount of tuition fee is listed on the program's website? Should we calculate the first year's tuition pro rata?
Thnkz for the information...
So nice of you!
Hello rachel,, keepsafe always🤟💗🤗
Awww, you keep safe too! 😊
Please more cases!!!
Yes, definitely will be coming.
Alright. Thanks for the video. So I have a question. In (6:50 - 7:10), you advised against having a 'large lump sum of money' in months prior to a study permit application. I will like to know approximately how much money will be too much a deposit in my account. Because I have been accepted in a Canadian Institution, and I need around 31,000 CAD to be able to show enough funds. Right now, however, I have just under 12,000 CAD. Next year, I plan to raise that money to at least 30,000 CAD but I want to raise it by having small deposits, so that I avoid any flags in my application due to large deposits of money in my account. I have until May 2021, when I plan to apply for my study permit, to fund my account. I will like to know if i should go ahead rasing the money in my account that way or if you can advise me on a better way to go about it. Thanks so much.
Hi Emmanuel,
Thank you for your question. It is very detailed and related to your situation. Please understand that I am not a lawyer and I can not provide you with legal advice. At least I can try to guide you in the direction where you can find your answer.
Where are you from? Are you DIY this study permit application yourself?
Hi @@rrdancel , thanks for the response. I'm from Nigeria. And I plan on applying for my study permit myself.
Is it required to show the second year's tution fees. If we pay first year fees completely and show one year living will it suffice.
Preferably, the more you have the better. But showing 1 year of paid tuition shows commitment to the process too.
more please!
More will come to those who wait! LOL.....I will be posting more later on. Thank you for your comment!
Really good video
Glad you enjoyed it :D
I guess the SOP makes the vital factor to an immigration officer
Hi I just got scammed from a consultant or maybe not but rachel what do you think I have to do
Im doing a 3 year advanced diploma at humber is showing 39k CAD with first sem tuition fee receipt enough for getting a study permit?
I'm not really certain because they are other factors that come in play. Is that including expenses for accommodations? Are you single or will you be accompanied by family? Which province will you go? What city do you plan to stay? Will you use that to pay for your remaining tuition? Is that enough to get you by the number of years you'll stay here?
Basically, there are several questions to answer before arriving at a conclusion but general rule is to have more than enough. Preferably have money set aside already for full payment of studies and living accommodations. Hope this answers your question.
How much funds do I need to cover a full-time 4 year course in Canada ? for the approval although I have 60000 cad raised already approx and I'm thinking of getting into Canada in the October fall or in the 2022 start kickoff. Can you please help me out ? Though I am smart enough for this. Anyways thanking you in anticipation. 😁
Hi Rachel, about not depositing large amounts into my bank deposit months before applying - what if I received it as a gift from a relatives to help with expenses and/or it was profit sharing from my job?
You would need to provide a detailed explanation in your statement of purpose or letter of explanation. I suggest that you may need a review from someone that is an authorized representative after you have completed your SOP or LOE.
Hi sis! Is there a way I can msg you and ask you something? I don't want to divulge information here.. :) One thing I can ask here though is , what are your tips with a student visa application that brings her family to Canada with her? Is that a red flag? Me and my husband are the only people who can watch our kids and we cannot leave them to our parents sinces my parents still works (Business) and his parents are far away and lives in a small home with a lot of people. I had internship experience in USA for 1 yr last 2013-2014 and didn't overstay and been to several countries as a a tourst. How can I convince Canadian immigration officers that my intentions are pure?
is it ok to have a sponsor like my sister that is currently living in the US?
Can I ask, if my bank account only have few thousand Canadian dollar but I’m going to pursue a course in Toronto Canada. My boyfriend (as a foreigner) who holding work permit will be sponsoring me for all the expenses. Will it be high chance to get student visa too? If my account only have around 4-5k but my partner can be my sponsor I’m asking in this case. Please give me a reply as last time I comment in your another video you ignored it. Thank you
I want to ask for an opinion. Starting with my current situation, I'm a graduated bachelor's degree student and I am thinking of studying in CA with post-secondary programs. The problem is my family is broken. My father and mother aren't together anymore although they are not divorced yet. Our source of funds come from my father's work before that happens and my mother is just a simple housewife. My mom's bank statement is like 30k CAD. I choose 1 year post-graduate programs which cost like 15k per year. With a plus for living expense, I can afford the school easily. But my mom doesn't have any work right now and I can't ask documentations from my father as well. So, I can't provide evidence of the source of funds for my study.
What should I do? Should I simply give up or is there any other ways to do for the evidence?
I am sorry to hear about your situation. I think its not a good idea to pursue your studies as it will likely leave your mother in financial destitute. Maybe consider this option after you have figured out your finances.
@@rrdancel Thank you.
Hi rachel! I'm from Philippines who planning to study in Canada and I just want to ask if have you been interviewed at the Canadian Embassy for a study visa, do you still remember the questions or are you familiar with the common questions during the interview of your application for study visa at Canadian Embassy? hope to answer this thank you so much.
No interview po pag SP . make sure ung SOP nyo po is clear and direct to the point then make sure ung question ni VO in mind is masasagot mo sa SOP
You’re right, there’s No interview! All must be explained thoroughly in your Statement of Purpose Letter (which I have tips on how to write in my YT Channel) ❤️😜✨
Hi dear, thanks for your question! I wasn’t interviewed at the Canadian Embassy 😊 I just submitted my application package and dropped it off at the local visa application centre (VFS Global) ❤️😊
Hi Miss Rachel, nagsearch ako kanina sa DLI ng mga universities. pag sinearch ko ang annual tuition fee ng isang univ, at kunwari lumabas ay $7k per year, does that mean applicable yon sa lahat, pati sa mga international students?
And, pano kung working na po sa US then gusto mag international student sa Canada, same tuition fees po ba?
Thank you for this informative video. Im looking forward for more vids like this. God bless.
There’s a separate fee list for domestic and international students. The school should point out which fees are for each. Students from outside Canada that are not citizens or permanent residents have to pay the international student fees. Hope this helps! 😊
@@rrdancel thank you miss! This is helpful. God bless. 😘
Hello Rachel, thanks for the video!
I have a query. I'm an employed person and have been using my salary for investments. Now I've added the lump sum to my bank account just before applying my study permit 😬 Will this be a problem? I can show my payslips for proof of source for the money though.
That’s a good question. I suggest that you seek legal advice from an immigration lawyer. I am not authorized to answer this question
Why is depositing a large sum of money not a good a idea? You are trying to show your proof of funds right? What if it comes from your mother?
You will need a gift deed letter
If we choose sponsorship do we still need to have and show that i have enough money on my account?
i have my auntie ang auncle in canada and they will like sponsor me in my tuition and living expenses the question is should i still need to have a money on my own bank ?
The general rule is the more the better, so yes you will need to include your own money for your application 😊👍

Can I show my father's house and land documents for home ties for a Canadian student visa?
That’s more of an economic tie than a home tie 😊

Currently spamming your videos with comments (kidding). Quick question though: how old is old when applying to Canada? :D Like at what age should we be concerned that we’re more likely to receive a refusal because of our age? (Did i make sense omg) 😅
Thanks for your question dear! 😊University age is between 19-29 or even 35 at the high end (bachelor’s to phD), so beyond that needs more supporting documents and a convincing SOP
Generally the higher you are in age, the higher your chances are for refusal IF you do not have a reasonable explanation for why you wish to study.
@@rrdancel thank you for that response. I am going to start working on my SOP shortly. The info was very good.
hi mam good day...ask ko lang if pwde bah ako im 46 yrs.old applying for international student..
I am afraid, because i am 17 years old and my father will be responsible for my studies, however i cannot demonstrate that i have a job or police certificate or something like that, this is even the first time ever that i apply to a higher education, my father has 70,000 CA dollars on his account, do i have some possibilities, considering that i don't have past education?
You’re still a young applicant. You’re not expected to have a skilled job nor elaborate study history at this point. So explain what you’ve currently achieved and elaborate on why you want to come to Canada for studies. Explain your career goals or objectives and how getting a Canadian education will help you reach it.
You’re finances are reasonable and you have financial support from your father. Make sure to document that and have your father write a letter explanation they will be financially responsible for you during your stay in Canada.
@@rrdancel My father is a freelancer, i mean he works by himself through the internet and he earns between 3,000 to 5,000 dollars per month, can i show evidence of that by providing receipts?
@@rrdancel In addition, I am considered a meritorious student, and I have received some awards, can I include them and say that I value education and I have won those prizes or something like that?
If it isn't advisable to deposit lump sump into my bank account, what should i do?
Deposit it in portions . So in monthly intervals or so.
Yeah can you bring an issue about ethiopian students visa refusals?
Before that, the approval rates for Ethiopia was generally low to begin with. But now, the approval rate is lower because it has to do with the current political instability and the armed conflict.
