Only additional thing was a brouchure on financial assistance possibilities, which I am yet to read through.
There were few grants listed for graduates in second year of study as well. So a ray of hope for future grants!!

Admitted!!
I just checked York university's application status page today and was delighted to see the word "Admitted". I am yet to receive the e-mail from the school. I hope they send it soon.

Few additional information if it helps
1. Credila has no limit on loan amount.
2. indian Bank provides loan up to 30L but interest rates are 14.5% beyond 20L. IBA limit is only valid for loans upto 20L
2. Some banks do approve over and above 20L upto 25L with approvals from higher management, provided collateral secutiry is worth enough to accomodate the increased loan capability.

For people intend to drive in canada (better to have a license)

Please obtain a Driver licence extract from RTO before leaving india - usually costs 20-30 Rs. The document is accepted as proof of driving in the process to obtain license - to drive in canada. Without this, the wait time for obtaining driving privilages can vary between 1 year to 2 years based on how valid the indian drivers license is. No Hindi or Regional languages accepted. All licenses have to be in English or should accompany an IDP if not in English. Without an IDP, one can drive for only 3 months on Indian license. Indian IDP is valid for 1 year.

Please have a global credit card. It is a necessity in canada for few quick things needed immediately

thanks Chethan for the valuable inputs !

hey Honey
pls update here.

Yesterday i got offer letter from Mcgill with scol. of 13k.
Now i am confused which school to go for. Both schools are equally reputed in Canada. But I am not sure, how are job opportunities in Quebec and Toronto for a person who want to be an It consultant or Business analyst after MBA.
I think living expenses would be less in Quebec compared to Toronto.

Would appreciate if someone can help me in taking the decision as this is the last week for me to deposit the initial amount to schulich.

Hey Buudy,
Congrats for the offers.
Just an info: Mcgill is located in Quebec Province which is mostly dominated by people speaking french, and on a Job front you can inquire about the Jobs in Quebec. I dont think it would matter for companies in quebec if one knows french or not,or do they prefer ppl having knowledge of french as a second lang in that area, so just check. All the best.

I got a confirmation from Schulich that they have received my confirmation deposit.

Hi All,
I submitted my application on 28 feb.
The deadline was extended to March 1st.
My profile
Gmat 660
Toefl 102
work ex 2 years IBM
extracurricular : started a company to keep making short films and social service

As i submitted my application on feb last so will it be too difficult for me to get an admit considering my profile.

Thanks,
Anupam

I applied to Schulich on Feb 1, 2012 but have not even received an "application complete" email from the school. I tried emailing the school for info but got no response. What would you kind people suggest I do to get an update on application status?

Guys, I have sent my confirmation deposit DD yesterday. Hopefully it should reach by tomorrow.

@ To all those who are taking DD for confirmation deposit.

I had emailed to intl admission and received the reply as:

"If you will send by demand draft, please make it payable to: York University. On the back of the draft, please write down your full name and the student number.".

There was no reply as far as "Payable at" was concerned. So presuming it as Canada.

Admission confimation document says the same I guess. The messed up text paragraph is has above the credit card section.

Hi

The Loan would probably cover the tuition for me.
Any inputs on how much to show for living expenses in visa application.
As per university: estimate is 32500$ for entire duration

Does it mean 16L as deposit in my SB account? or can i show around 8L in deposit and rest as source of funds??

Yes Credila gave me another letter that mentioned that credila is a HDFC company.
I borrowed money from family friends etc to lower my burden on loan. you may consider to do the same, or try getting a higher loan from credila. They do offer more than 20Lacs.

Schulich will not return initial deposit if you elect not to join.
i hope that helps

Hi Guys,

I also got an admit from Schulich.

I am a native of Punjab, currently working in hyderabad.

came across this site , thought would help some us in making decision and other happy about their decision :)

Employers like these MBA schools - The Globe and Mail

The one ICICI gave me is by Bank of Montreal n its payable in whole of Canada.
Your bank would probably give U a DD by some bank they are affliated to in Canada and I assume it should be payable in whole of Canada. ICICI ka I know, other banks I think U should call them up.

thanks bro. it is useful.

hey ashu

DD made .. in favour of "York University" .. sum of 2500 CAD ...
.. Drawn on/Payable at ????

Hello Guys,

My first post on this thread.
I got the admit from Schulich today. I am yet to make a final decision.
I have not got any scholarship info though

I am from Bangalore..who else is there from Bangalore?

Thanks

Thank you so much Rohit. I am bit relieved to see that credila has not created any problems for you. Did you take any other letter from HDFC making it clear that Credila is part/subsidiary of HDFC or is it not needed?

I might get around 20lakhs (from Credila as loan) and my visa consultant has told me that I need to show another 15 lakhs in savings account. But, who will have 15 lakhs in savings account? I am having a lot of trouble with this. How did you show the amount in your savings account? You had that much amount in your/your father's account. Please suggest. The consultant told me that he needs that amount to be there in the account (at least in a blood relative's account) for the last 6 months. I am so worried how to go about it.

Also, please let me know if we get the deposit amount ($2500) back, if by any chance my visa is rejected?

Thanks,
RK

Can anyone confirm if all scholarship offers are done sending by the program? Who here has got funds and what to expect if we haven't heard anything yet? Should we wait till March ends?

If your deadline for initial deposit is not an issue then I think you can wait or perhaps, write to them.

I am from India in Jan 2012 intake. I used travelex to pay my first term fee in. It is very convenient. You have to download a form from

York University Student Financial Services Fees - Paying Your Student Account

fill it, and take it to your bank in next 3days time as the exchange rate is fixed for three days. I did it with HDFC and they transferred the money within a week.

i hope that helps

Thanks a lot mate. It would definitely help. This time I already got my DD made.

hey friends

I enquired about the aid. And this is what I got back :

Hello Amandeep
The first round of scholarships have been distributed. At this point any other entrance scholarships or awards will be given out on a rolling basis. Although you do have a strong file unfortunately you were not chosen to receive an entrance scholarship or award at this time. The awards are very competitive.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Sincerely,

Thanks nmmbaabroad and all the best for your interview. It seems I still have to wait for my interview call.

Hi Sunny,
Here are the details you asked for:

1. Received "application verified" e-mail in the first week of Mar.
   
2. 4 days later received an e-mail calling me for an interview. E-mail was from an admissions member.
   

What about your application status?

Hello nmmbaabroad,

From whom did you get the interview invite and when did you receive the email saying that your file is complete and will now go for review.

Thanks,

If you can show some additional funds over and above your loan, then it makes your case strong. It is true with any other bank irrespective of whether it is credila of SBI.

If you are traveling single, then 8L is sufficient. If you are traveling with your family then you may show that you have funds in excess of 11-12L over and above your loan.

Hope that helps

by the way, for those who are traveling with spouses, don't forget to apply work permit for your spouses.

Hi All,

I am from Hyderabad and I think Shweta, Deadlines and Avik are the other ones from Hyderabad. I have been following this thread but this is my first post. I got an admit from Schulich and applied for loan from HDFC Credila. The agent from Credila said that the visa officer is not accepting Loan from credila and we need to show our own funds. Is it true?

Shweta/Dealines/Avik, are you going through any visa consultancy or are you applying on your own. If you are going through a consultancy can you please let me know which one is it.

FYI, My profile is:
Gmat: 700 (Q49, V36, AWA - 4.5)
Work Exp: 5.5 years in IT Industry

Also, please let me know your contact details so that we can get in touch and help each other in this process.

Thanks,
RK
