Yo! I subscribed!💕😁

Hi Max, thanks so much for the work you put in. Its been so helpful but i have q little problem under what category or heading do i upload my attestation from work along with other documents to show home ties .?
Hi! Client information - with your LOE
This is awesome, Max. Keep the good work on. My question is, how do I submit another application to change my DLI on the new portal? I applied for my study permit via the new portal last year. I just got admitted to another university and would like to update the information. How do I do that?
Send a webform: ua-cam.com/video/93DM9KCSD4s/v-deo.html
Hi Max! Love your channel and information you provide to us the viewers. I have a quick question regarding the Travel History section. The question the specifies if you ever had a visa or permit denied, does this include a tourist visa denial for the USA?
Hi! yes it does
Hello Max, your videos are always helpful to me, thank you for sharing such educational videos. I have a question, the new portal and the old portal gckey, which will you advice for me to use
Hi! Thank you, glad you found value. I'd say IRCC portal
thank you for all the information, Max. Can I apply my friend's student visa on my account?
Hi! No
Thanks for this informative video. Can you also please let us know what needs to be uploaded for consent personal information which comes under optional documents ?
Your letter of explanation :)
Max great video...can you do a video if you are applying with a child and spouse please?
Will try!
Hi Max.Thank you very much for your videos. They are really helpful for us. I have a question: Im waiting for my SDS application for 4 months now and I need to defer my future start date to Jan 2023. SHould I continue to wait or should I withdraw and submit non-SDS application? And is it possible for me to submit both SDS and non-SDS application? If so, i would like to try out to see which one has the faster results. Thank you for your time Max! Keep on doing the great work.
I'd wait, it takes 5 months these days
Hi Max! Thanks for the super helpful video. Do you know if I can submit an application through the IRCC portal when I already have a GCKey application submitted for a visitor Visa?
Yes, but it contradicts your intentions so I'd withdraw the visitor visa app
Hi, thanks pretty much for this detailed video.
PPLEASE, CAN YOU THROW MORE LIGHT ON THE "CONSENT PERSONAL INFORMATION" DOCUMENT?
Will do! I think I need to release a video on immigration forms
@@ImCanada but, I need to submit application this month. Am running out of time please.
What about the immigration forms, should I print the filled forms, then scan them in order to upload them on the IRCC study permit application portal?
Hi Max,
Thanks for the video. Please in the document section, under the Optional documents section, which document is required for the “Consent Personal Information”?
Thank you
There's a PDF file I think, you can upload your Letter Of Explanation
Hi Max,
Thanks for the information. Is there room for upfront medical exam as it's with the old portal? Thanks in anticipation to your response.
No
@@ImCanada but could you please tell me, there is a question of have you had a medical exam performed by IRCC authorised panel? So if we have given upfront medical, shall we select yes for this question?
I got my Permit Approved today after 7 weeks of waiting. I started with the new IRCC portal but changed to the GC Key because ive used it before and i liked the familiarity.
How did you change? Had you already submitted and then did it again with GC Key?
@@ImCanada No. Mid way through applying with the new portal i stopped and switched. sorry for the confusion.
Which country are you from
congrats for u bro,,but 7 weeks seems so short. which country r u from?
Did you attach IELTS?? Sds or non sds???
Thank you very much ...
Should I clear that in the travel history section [[ 16:30 ]] if I have received a refusal letter from Canada previously?
There is a question if you've ever been refused entry or visa, you say yes to that
Hi Max! A splendid new year to you! I've encountered a problem with the invite link. It displays an error saying that sending invite link failed or smth like that. Have you encountered this error? I've looked in forums but I've seen no similar issue. Thanks for guiding us international students!
To add, I am planning to go through the student direct stream and I noticed that you'd have to provide funds that would cover your tuition and expenses. Given that I've paid the tuition fee for the whole year and a $10K GIC, what amount should I put in the total funds section when the tuition fee for my whole study is paid.
Hi! Not sure about the link, seems good. Also, for Proof of Funds, in total you need to show enough money for the entire study program + living expenses
Max Thanks for this fantastic video - where should I add documents regarding deeds and marriage certifications to show tie to home country? As well as English certification
It's in supporting docs :)
I always watch you if I need any help with my application process. Thank you!
I have a question here, there are 2 requested documents that as you said are the same thing. Which are “letter of acceptance” and “official letter from school” since my program is not COOP, should I attach the same document twice in these fields or just leave it empty in the coop field?
You can upload your LOA twice
It’s states duplicate file
Thank you so much for this walkthrough, very informative! Sorry if this has already been asked, but can I apply for an Open Work Permit for my spouse and Temporary Resident Visa for my child together with my Study Permit application in the new IRCC portal?
Hi! I think so, just add them to the application. Select married initially
Hi Max, in the travel history from the portal, I am from Singapore and I frequently travel to Malaysia which is only 20 mins drive, probably 15 times a year, so must I list down all of those mostly is same day return for the last 10 years?
Yes
Thank you max for responding to messages and being this kind in teaching us how to DIY helping us save every penny for the journey ahead, please I have a question, I have already uploaded every document, on the GC Key as this new portal won't support family application for one reason or the other, I started but had to switch to the old portal, as suggested by the system, I haven't submitted my documents as I'm confused On what to upload in Place of (Letter of Acceptance) for my 10 Year old accompanying childs study permit application, please I need advice.
Thanks
I'd say you need to figure out other home ties, like professional ties
Happy Holidays Max! I have a question and I am really hoping youd be able to respond. Ive just received my CAQ and I am about to apply for my Study Permit. However I am already in Canada, so based on your video, how do I go about the section which asks "When will you enter canada?" as I am already here.
Happy holidays! Can you enter a date in the past?
Thanks Max. This is very informative for me. I have question in the "countries or territory of residence. I did stay in a residential compound in Saudi Arabia from Aug 2018 to Nov 2022 . We end our contract in the compound because we have completed the project. The question is, should I select or check the ' This is where I currently live" box? THank you.
Yes :)
I hit the subscribe button because it's very helpful for me. Hello Max, I'm a 4th year college student here in my own country and i'm about to graduate but I need to finish the internship first, our university is offering a CO-OP Program in Calgary. My question is.. is it necessary to have a the recommendation letter of our school and also provided the letter of intent?
Thank you so much!
Hi! It's best to have as many documents supporting you as possible but it's not mandatory
Hi Max and thank you for the informative video. One question, what is the difference between the study permit and the Canadian student visa?
Same application - the first is given at the border, the second one at home when you cross the border
Hello Max I hope you re doing great I’m new to your channel thanks for the update buh I’m having a problem concerning the tuition fees when the school state in the letter or LOA that don’t pay your tuition fees through an agent what will you do whiles he is the one applied the school for you.?
It's hard to tell when agents are involved
hi Max, thanks for the video but you did not drop the link.
Hi! It's all in the description :)
hi MAX, THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION. IT IS VERY HELPFUL. CAN WE ALSO APPLY OWP AND TRV WITHIN THE SAME APPLICATION?
Yes, I think TRV but not sure about OWP
Hello Max! for group applicant (family of four) do I have to do the same thing for each member? Or just the principal applicant will suffice? Thanks
The principal applicant but you need to provide financial proof for every applicant, $7k/y the first, $5k/y everyone after that
Hi Max! Thanks for all you do. My question; If I have a study loan from the bank that covers all my expenses for the duration of my studies with a back up letter stating my details and all, do I still need to have the funds in the account for 4-6 months before applying for my study permit or I can just apply right away? Your response will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
No, but you need to provide an explanation for this
Thanks for the video it really helps. Does IELTS needed for student Visa ?
Yes to get into schools or if you're doing SDS stream
Hi, really great video, I have one question, I have been to Canada on a study permit and also work permit, but the question asks if I’ve held a Canadian visitor visa in the past 10 years, so still I should put no?
Hi! no
Thanks for this video. What do I select under level of study if I am going for a Post graduate program at a college?
Graduate level
Hello Max. Is it necessary to apply for a study permit using the IRCC or Gkey before applying for a Canadian student visa after i have gained admission to a Canadian university ? And also is the letter of explanation the same as the statement of purpose (SOP) ?
Hi! You need an LOA first, watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/nBQGWuxJ48U/v-deo.html
Hi Max thanks for providing us valuable information. I have a quick question. I the main applicant for study permit and my wife needs the work permit. This new IRCC portal seems to not support owp. Are we forced to use the gckey portal for both study and work permits?
Hi! You need to use GCkey for a work permit application I believe
Hi max, I have a question. In terms of sds, if you answer yes to.all of the questions under sds would your application be processed under sds? Is that how the portal is set up?
If you select SDS - yes
Hi MaX,
Great content! Been waiting for a thorough and detailed walk thru using the new portal. Question, how do u apply for spousal open work permit thru the new portal?
Hi! I'm not sure it it supports that application
Max, are you going to Seneca? Just curious because I'm going haha
Hey!! No, I graduated a while ago, I'm not a student anymore 😂 But I might be going back to school to get my RCIC license
@@ImCanada Max, if I don't have proof of my accommodation yet, what do I do? Because I can only pay for it by November and I'm starting my visa application this week.
Yes 😊❤
:)
Hi max, thank you for always providing us with very helpful info! I have a question: Do I have to mention in my study permit that I am currently enrolled in a university in my country for now for the same program? And will it damage my approval rate? I didn't apply to the college in canada as an exchange student, I only gave them my high school transcripts, so will it matter if I'm already in a college in my current country?
No
@@chrisokereafor1391 can you please explain? What do you mean by no?
@@2Bautomaton since you just enrolled ? And you don’t even have a transcript yet . I don’t think it’s necessary to include it in your application . You are going for an undergraduate program in Canada right ? Then your high school transcript will suffice .
You shouldn't mention that university at home then :)
@@ImCanada Thanks for your reply Max! What do you mean tho? So is it a yes that I shouldn't mention it? I don't want my visa to get refused because the immigration officer thought it was suspicious that Im going to Canada to study the same program from scratch, all while paying more money for it.
Great video max! One thing tho, in terms of showing Liquid Funds as you mentioned, there is nothing we can upload there as of now is there? Like a Bank statement? Currently it only shows GIC. Kindly correct me on this if wrong
Add it to document you’ll send in “additional documents”
That's weird, I think there's a form for financial proof
@@ImCanada is GIC applicable to Nigerians?
Hey max thanks for this video I’m really grateful, please I want to apply for my study permit before uploading my ielts which I’m writing next month. My question is can they later request for it if I’m eligible for the Nigeria student express visa because I’m thinking of applying and submitting my ielts result later when it’s out
If you have your letter of acceptance and are not applying under the SDS stream - you're all good without it
Hey Max! In the video around the 6:05 mark you said that you can enter Canada even 6 months before once you have the visa . Was this a mistake or is it really true. Coz according to my research they won't let you enter Canada more than a month before your program starts.
You can enter once you have your student visa, but it's quite suspicious if it's too early
submitted an application on oct 26,2022 and gave biometrics on Oct 31, 2022. got approved on dec 19,2022. so happy 👌👌👌💥💥💥
Congrats to you
Perfect!! Big stuff 🇨🇦
would be so grateful if u can reply: did you show proof of funds (tuition fee, living expenses) for the all years of study or just for 1 year? Thank you!
@@t.glow.official well it is a fully funded phd. It includes the tuition and living expenses for four years. So u know...
Was it on the new portal or old portal?
Hey Max, I have a question. If I'm planning to bring my family along with me, do I have to apply for them as well? Or do I go to another website to do that?
You'd use the same one but I recommend you do not put them on the same application and wait until you're in Canada
Thanks for this informative video. Need a suggestion.
I've a recent refusal for study permit through gckey. Is it ok to reapply through new ircc portal this time?
Yes, also feel free to book a consultation with my lawyer to get suggestions: calendly.com/d/2f5-hmj-6k9/consultation-immigration-lawyer
please you have a video about document down load
what do you mean?
hello max I couldn't get to upload the transcript part does it affect on my process or not?
You can put it in your LOE/SOP
Hi, Max!, in the section on Education costs, 12:45 you mention that covering all the costs is important during the program. in my case, I´m going to study for 2 years. But I know that it is only necessary to have money to cover 1 year of studies and one year of maintenance, so If the total cost for me is 40.000 for all 2-year program and 20.000 for maintenance, Do I have to have in my account bank 60.000 at least? not the proof of funds that the Canadian government suggests? (1-year tuition + 1-year maintenance 10.000 now, in 2024 20.500) This part is so confusing for me! Thanks for your support!
That’s what the website says but it’s often different from reality. A lot of people get refused due to insufficient financial resources
hi max, for the GCkey study permit application there seems to be lots of forms to be filled out and attached to the application, do I need to complete these forms for IRCC application or just the documents they specifically ask for in the application
The IRCC application process fills them out for you
hello. question. What will happen to your gckey acct if you opted to apply in the new portal? thank you
Hi! Two apps are discarded
Hi Max, thank you so much for providing your video! I’ve been looking for information about the difference of IRCC portal and GCkey.
I’d like to ask you : I applied for Study permit on behalf of someone for middle school from Japan , on July 21, Biometrics done on July 29.
Nothing seemed wrong until September 12 when I got a message from IRCCportal stating there’s change of the status. So, obviously I tried to sign in, but due to their webpage maintenance that took place on the12th, they implemented two-factor authentication and started to ask verification code to sign in.
Unfortunately, I never ever receive those verification code from them. Sure I checked EVERYTHING like spam folder, server and tried by other devices in other environments. Nothing really worked so far. Sent inquiries through webform several times yet no response until now.
What if I can’t sign in my portal account forever until visa application expires?
Do you think there is any problem on IRCC in regard to signing in now?
I'm not sure how come you have that problem, try different email, IDK
Hello did you figure it out? Because i have the same problem
Hi Max thanks for your information. Please I want to know if it's possible to apply for Study permit in another country and after gotten your study permit then you return to your country of citizenship to travel from there?
Yes, absolutely. But I recommend you apply from a country where you at least have permanent residency
Hi Max, thank you for this video. It’s really informative.
Please is it possible to apply for my spouse open work permit together with my study permit on the new portal simultaneously?
I don’t seem to find the option for work permit on the portal. Please advise .
Thank you again.
It is, but I don't recommend it as you make your home ties weaker
@@ImCanada I appreciate your response. I actually have cogent home ties.
Please could you advise on how to apply for my Study Permit and Spousal open work permit together on the new IRCC PORTAL?
I’m sorry if am asking too much questions.
Hi Max, thank you for the video. I have a question. I'll have funding and another person will pay for my other expenses, so what should I write in the "Funds available to stay in CA"? How much money does the other person have? Or mine? And if mine, will there be a problem if I write less than the sum of tuition fee and accommodations?
If you have a sponsor, the question refers to them. You need to show the full amount as mentioned in the video
Hi max,
I am applying for an undergraduate course at Uoft. I indicated I had received a scholarship and was wondering if it was ok since you had only mentioned it for masters and PhD.
Also, what exactly do they mean by transcripts, should I upload a copy of my graduation certificate or my marks and report cards for 12th grade?
Hi! It's the marks. I would need to look into the details of your case. If you'd like to book a strategy meeting with me one-on-one, please book it here: calendly.com/maxmedyk/private-consultation-with-max-medyk
Hi Max, one question. Do you need to apply for the study permit and student visa separately? Also, love your videos they are very informative and helpful !
all you need is to apply for a study permit online, and they will give you the visa when you get to the airport
No, it's one application essentially :)
Thank you for this video.
I also have a question.
My son applied (and 2 friends) applied for a student permit. (from Belgium)
We were notified that we had to pay a fee for biometrics.
We payed and uploaded the prove of payment.
But we are still waiting for a letter to make an appointment.
We normally have to start the training on the 1ste of February 2023.
What can we do? We can't make a apointment in a centrum because we need a letter...
Hi! It's all good as usually this can take about a week to arrive
Hi max how are you man ?
Great! You?
For study permit where the family of 5 will be accompanying the main applicant. In the group part. I should select yes right?.
Yes
Hi Max, thanks bro. Should i attach my US F1 Visa refusal letter with the LOE/SOP?
Should I mention that I have already submitted my application at Austrian Embassy for the
study visa in my LOE/SOP, so that the visa officer knows that I have intentions to go for higher
education. Also, Im applying through SDS. Is 10,000 CAD GIC enough?
Hi! You don't need to attach it but in one of the application forms you will have to explain this refusal. The $$$ formula is the whole program + $10k per year (the whole program) + $5k for travel expenses.
Hi Max, Thanks u for the video , plz I want to Know at the level of "funds available for your studies" if i only have the funds for one year of study can ircc deny me the visa?
Yes, they might, especially if you're from a developing country
God bless you
:)
Hi Max, watching your video, I realized I did not submit a letter of explanation. Should I submit it now using the webforms ?
Yes, definitely
Hi max, i am so greatful for your vidoes, it really help me to apply for my study permits easily without any difficulties, my only problem, being the time frame for the application process, its been closs to 15 weeks since i applied and yet no reponse, and my school resume just in no less than 3weeks, please would you adviced me to contact them directly and how can i do that?
Thanks for your understanding.
Hi! Appreciate it! I would probably defer school
hi max, i wanted to know that there is a co op optional in my program and i will be opting that during my program , so do i have attach the same offer letter in both the sections : letter of acceptance and offer letter from school
2ndly where do i have to attach my cv and my academic achievements mentioned in it
Client Info
Hi Max, thanks for the great video. I have some questions regarding transfer undergraduate degree programs where you finish first 2 years in my country and last 2 years in Canada. 1⃣How this will affect my study permit? since I have already enrolled in post secondary education 2⃣if yes is it better to go directly for 2 year diploma program in Canada ? again Thanks for helping international students ❤.
P.S currently I am still in high school.
You can do it with bachelors but not college diplomas. If they transfer enough credits for 2 years - you will get a 3 year PGWP
Hi, so does this mean I will need to have 2 year tuition and accommodation at hand?
Hi there, yes for the application
Hi max, I have a question. If you going for a four year degree program, am I going to calculate the funds for the whole 4 year program. You only mentioned for 2years, please break it down. Thank you
You would just 2x that
hello Bro...
what is the difference between a letter of acceptance and an official letter from the school??
Hi! It's the same one
I would like to know what to do about a problem I have with the new form. In the "Tell us about your parents section"', when I try to input an address for my parents (which is not the same as mine), the country select drop-down doesn't seem to work well. It has a single option that says "Lovs not available" .... and the page does not allow you to move forward without a valid country. How do I move forward?
It must be the address issue
Can I save the application until the uploads to come back to this later? Or is this one shot?
Yes
Hey can you make video about Colleges open for Next Jan Intake 2023
The cheapest one's
So far - none are a good option (not enough time for study permit)
Please if my only work experience is a volunteer option, should I add it there?
Yes if it's related to the program you're taking
hello max
Do I need to upload my part time job document if I input in the experiences since 18 years old section.
Hi! No, you don't need to list out jobs in you're underaged
Hi Max, could you please respond to my query as to i have applied through GC key and got refusal. So can I apply through IRCC, if yes then will the process of applying will be afresh from start or from process after medical examination is updated on the GC key portal.
Thanks in advance
Hi! Yes, you can (from scratch) though please watch the most recent video on refusals I posted
Hello can you help me with the link to the new IRCC portal ? Can not seem to find it on the website . Thank you
Hi! It's in the description of the video
Hi, Max. Thanks for the information. For the eduction cost, I am wondering if I should provide my finance proof that higher or equal to the number I wrote in funds available for stay in Canada. I've only accounted for my expenses for the first year in my financial proof, and I'm concerned that this might result in my study permit being denied.😢 Thanks.
Yes, it’s the full stay. I’ll release an update in 3 weeks
Hi max, what if my job is just part time because I am juggling studies and work. What should I fill up then?
No need for a work permit if you don't have a co-op
Hi Max, thank you for the video ! here is my situation, I have applied for a student visa and everything's going smoothly so far (biometrics done and medical check-up also done) but my problem is my classes will start on January 10 2023 and I fear there is not enough time to get my visa by that date. So let's say I defer my session to September 2023 and I get my visa in January, should I still go or should I wait for September to leave for Canada ? I am asking this question because you said in the video that you can enter Canada whenever you want. Thank you in advance
Who do I get invite code
Can someone assist how do I get a invitation code
Hi! I believe you need to defer
For visitor visa, which is better IRCC or Gckey? Thanks!
IRCC Portal
Hi there Max, I’m applying Canada visa from Malaysia to visit my aunt this July , so I almost filled finish my application in the new IRCC portal . For my Canada visitor visa and biometrics payment, where should I pay? Pay At the GC key account right or can pay at the new portal ?
However if pay in GC key account , I found out u still have to provide tons of document before u do your payment. I mean u can skip this process right, since I already upload 4 to 5 documents in the new IRCC portal already. Tks 😅
Yes, once everything is complete you'll pay
@@ImCanada ok Tks
Hi Max. So if I understand u well it's a new system but regardless we can use the old one. I believe it's just a matter of choice..
Exactly :)
