Hello Guys, Please, I need advice on which option is better: 🔹 Option 1: Master of Engineering (MEng) Duration: ~12 months (can even be completed earlier since it’s charged per credit) Requirement: 8 courses (0.5 credit each = 4 credits total) Cost: $35,750 CAD 🔹 Option 2: 2-Year Diploma Duration: 24 months Cost: $14,580 CAD per year = $29,000 CAD total Both programs are full-time. One more question: Is it advisable to rush the MEng and finish within 8 months, hope it won't affect my PGWP eligibility? I have 2 possible plans: 1. Register for 2 credit units in Winter 2026 and the last 2 credit units in Summer 2026 (finishing in 8 months). 2. Register for 2 credit units in Winter 2026 and the last 2 credit units in Fall 2026 (finishing in 12 months). In your opinion, which is more advisable: the 12-month Master’s program or the 2-year Diploma program? And if it’s the MEng, should I spread it over 12 months or fast-track it in 8 months? Thanks in advance for your input 🙏 1 Like |

Hello Everyone, This group seems to be very quiet lately  , either there are not too many people waiting or we just may have learnt the waiting game of IRCC. They really taught some of us "patience".I was just wondeing if anyone else is waiting for decision , any July applicant in the house still waiting? Below is my profile since submission, nothing else

While some Vos, based on how you present the application, may accept the scholarship as proof of funds, others may not be as lenient. Although these scholarships are available, they are sometimes accessible only when specific requirements are met. Temporary resident applications, such as study permits, are based on the discretion of the visa officer handling the application. Therefore, I recommend providing proof of funds (even if it is a lump sum) in your account ( you are not required to submit Dad’s account) and explaining the source. Suppose you don’t have additional funds to complete the required living expenses. In that case, I strongly advise you to request a support letter from the school, addressed to IRCC, stating that they guarantee the funds and that you are eligible for them. They should also know what the scholarship covers, how much will be provided per period, and when it will be disbursed. Photos of the farm and cattle are insufficient for proof of income source. You should provide evidence of business registration, invoices/receipts and tax documents. All the best. greatman2000: 1 Like |

It depends on your ambition and financial capability. The Master of Engineering (MEng) is more lucrative but expensive. On the other hand, the diploma is affordable, but I am unsure of the employment opportunities since you did not mention the name of the diploma. It is worth noting that both of them are ineligible for SWOP if you are married. Soltech1000: |

What message do you intend to convey by including such information? You are required to have living expenses, which include rent, even if you have free accommodation. In my opinion, such information is unlikely to have a positive impact on your application. A marriage certificate is sufficient for a non-accompanying spouse. Thytechguy: 1 Like |

Having the funds is always preferable when applying for a study permit. But many have received approvals with Mpower loans. So, it should be used as a last resort. Racheal45: |

AyoTeeeee:Ayo, was your medical done upfront? I have not even seen medical request let alone PPR  |
| Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by AyoTeeeee: 3:21am On Aug 27, 2025 |
Okonkwobestman1:Yes, did mine earlier during the year when I submitted my first application and it was recently just updated to “medical updated” last week on my portal |

Hello everyone Please my flight to Canada was scheduled to take off on Saturday,because my class is starting by 2nd September and I got a mail today that my choice of programme has been canceled,and I need to choose another programme My major concern is not about choosing a new programme but my flight cancellation window has been closed Can I still traveled using my current document Am so worried 🤦🏿♂️ |

bullstriker:Thank you so much for your comment. Although I’m not married, the clarification about SOWP was really helpful. I had initially thought that all Master’s degree programmes were eligible, but from your feedback and the information on the IRCC portal, I’ve now learned that SOWP is only applicable to (MSc category) Master’s programmes with a minimum duration of 16 months. 1 Like |

OAOD:Bro, please be calm. This is actually my first time hearing something like this, and I’m here to learn too… Do you mean your school sent you an email saying that the programme you applied for (the same one that was used to issue your study permit) has now been cancelled? If that’s the case, what happens to all the money and effort already spent on securing the study permit? And will the same study permit still be valid for the same school if you decide to switch to another course? |

Okonkwobestman1:Medical was upfront. |
| Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by Profgordons(m): 8:53am On Aug 27, 2025 |
AyoTeeeee:Pretty much about the same time then. |
| Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by Okonkwobestman1: 9:03am On Aug 27, 2025 |
OAOD:I don't believe there's any cause to worry. You can present your current docuemts at the border/POE and obtain a study permit. However, once you're settled, it is your responsibility to immediately review the available programs in that same school and request a change of program. Otherwise , you will neeed to reapply for another study permit if you choose to change entirely to another school instead. 2 Likes |
