Vianney94:
Good day all
Please anyone in algonquin college or applied to the college, can I be able to apply with my unofficial transcript and secondly do I have to pay the application fee before I can submit my documents?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by holllowu: 9:19am On Sep 01, 2019
Many thanks, I have already ordered the GCMS note, i'ld like to get things right this time around, once again thanks for your contribution.
SOPWriter:
Holllowu, I am sorry for my late response. Although, I believe some gurus here have effectively answered you, however, I think I should add my ittle contribution from my own point of view.

Now, Let's do the math:

N2M+N3M=N5M
Then the CAD equivalent of N5M is approximately 18,400 CAD.

You said your first semester tuition is $9,500: based on CIC, you are expected to have a year tuition +$10,000 (living expenses) all set.

Now, $9,500 (for second semester)+$10,000=$19,500.

$18,400-$19500=-$1100
-$1100+$1000=-$100
Now you see where part of your problem lies?

Also, your aunt's $1000 USD won't fly; they know she won't spend her last grand or mess up her credit card for you, so, forget the fact that she's a US citizen, your Mum as a sponsor will even fly better.

My advice to you, is to look for means to top up your Mum's account, that should be your priority now.

Secondly, no one knows other criterias that was considered based on your application denial until you order for your GCMS note: it could be SOP, choice of degree or financial capability doubt, so, order your GCMS note.

Lastly, I want you to calm down, you really do not need to rush, get things straightened and self-evaluate your application before clicking on that submit button.

Good luck.

Yes have ordered for it. Thanks
benque:
First of all it's good that you are not deterred.

Have you ordered GCMs?

What is the whole school fees?

From the reasons they gave, you should try to get some home ties, maybe prepare a deed of transfer for some land(S) from your parents

Second you should work on your sop in order to convince them your purpose of visit is genuine.

Still make sure you order the GCMs and wait for the real gurus to chime in

Good Morning. to the best of my knowledge, you can either wait till the next admission deadline or explain your current situation to the school, they might grant you a conditional offer if you meet up with their requirement, pending when you sort your credential evaluation with WES.
MOBAN444:
Good morning house.
please i have a challenge. i want to apply for a post degree diploma in Douglas college and they are requesting i send my results to WES first for evaluation to confirm that my HND is equivalent to a three yrs program.

My challenge here is that before my school and WES will finish their rigorous processes i may miss the admission deadline for Winter which is 30th September.

Please i need advise.

you can as well recommend for me any other college that offer PGD Accounting.

Thanks.

Goodmorning,

You are to apply for a student permit, if you're using the online route, you'll asked during the application if you would need a co-op permit, tick yes at that point.

Hope this helps.
