yes, i have relatives in canada (grandmother, uncle, aunties and cousins)...i was not working when i applied, reviewed for ielts and applied soon as i passed the said exam. i don't know about their policies, maybe they need proof of assets like bank accounts, properties, etc. But, I heard a lot of people got denied eventhough they have assets to show. What's worse is that you can't even talk face-to-face with a consul to ask for explanation. They'll just send back your papers and the letter, which somewhat looks like a checklist on why they're denying your application (signed without the printed name of the officer).

Province of Alberta..I don't know why. The letter from the embassy said that they are not convinced that I'm gonna leave Canada after the said exam. It was heartbreaking..

They said that i can study under that program provided that i would sign a waiver...which states that i would still take the SEC assessment after i've finished the said program. That was a year ago and I don't have any updates right now. Thanks for the info!

Bridge to Canadian Nursing..Level II..

@babyjr: It was about a year ago now and I forgot the exact wording. It was something like they are not convinced that I'm going back home after the test. @greg08: I did. I already submitted all the requirements (September 2008). It was under the new immigration program, AINP (Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program-Family Stream). I'm currently waiting for their reply. @frustratednurse: I might try to apply for a student visa, if my AINP application is unsuccessful. I already contacted Mount Royal College and they said I could study there before taking SEC Assessment. Thank You!

I already applied for a tourist VISA..I got denied..

Hi! I'm from the Philippines and I have pending application in CARNA. I've already received a letter from them and they advised me to take an English exam and the SEC Assessment. Ive already met their English requirement. For the SEC, I need to apply for a VISA first before I could register. Can someone advise me on what type of VISA should I apply for? I'm planning to get a tourist VISA and if so, will it be enough to present the CARNA letter? How much do I need for the "show" money/assets? Will I still be needing lots of money if my relatives in Calgary will be paying for the expenses? Thanks and hope to hear from anyone soon..:nuke:
