What happens after I have submitted my application and requirements?
We have a team of admission experts well-versed in the student application process. They will take charge of processing your application and forwarding it to your chosen school for evaluation. In case you miss some requirements or need to submit further documentation, they will coordinate with you and assist you in forwarding them to the institution.
Upon handing over your application and completed requirements, the designated personnel at your chosen institution will check if your qualifications for your chosen program. Once accepted, they will relay their decision to us. We will then inform you through a formal Acceptance Letter, which you may receive within 30-60 days.
What is an Acceptance Letter?
Also known as Admission Letter, an Acceptance Letter formally confirms your eligibility for studying in your chosen institution. Once you have received it, make sure to photocopy and file the original document properly. You will have to submit this as one of the major requirements for obtaining your study permit and visa.
How will I get an Acceptance Letter from the institution?
As soon as you have submitted your application and requirements to MSM UNIFY, they will be forwarded to our partner institutions or your preferred college or university, and this will start your application process. Take note, each school has its own rules and requirements for accepting students, and the decision to accept your application or otherwise is solely at the discretion of the institution.
Can I delay the payment for my Acceptance Letter?
Students can defer the offer letter provided they can present a valid reason to do so, such as visa delays, illness, or financial concerns. Academic institutions will still accept the request as long as the course is available for the student’s preferred intake. Take note, however, that some universities may charge a small fee. Additionally, deferring the Acceptance Letter does not exempt you from paying additional fees the institution requires.
What are the top advantages of studying abroad?
You become part of a global community. Studying abroad gives you the chance to mingle with people from different backgrounds and cultures, which can help you broaden your exposure and expand your social network. In the process, it opens you to more opportunities for succeeding in your chosen career path, making it easier for you to establish a financially secure and rewarding life in the near future.
More study options available = Higher chances of acquiring a successful career. Educational institutions abroad often have different curriculums that help prepare students to become successful in their careers. With a wide array of choices at your disposal, you can have more opportunities to pursue an education program that will give you valuable insights into your chosen career.
More higher-paying jobs are available. Studying abroad helps you acquire the necessary skills and knowledge in your chosen field. Your exposure to the global community and education from recognized institutions will boost your professional credibility, opening up more and better job opportunities for both financial rewards and career stability.

This is a non-immigrant type of visa awarded to students who already have an educational institution where they are set to pursue their studies for a definite period of time. With this visa, students can temporarily reside in the host country for a period of time commensurate to study completion.
Each country has its own requirements for issuing Student Visas. Therefore, to get the details correctly, your first and most reliable source of information during the course of your application is the country’s embassy website.
The best time to apply for a visa is a few months before your scheduled travel abroad. Applying a few months in advance will give you enough time to go through the entire process. In case of setbacks, you will still have ample time to resolve any issue. In the process, you will also have enough time to learn more about your travels and studies and prepare for them accordingly.
Usually, student visa applications require the applicant to be physically present at the embassy. However, it will depend on the guidelines stipulated by the country you want to visit. There are actually several ways to apply, whether personally, online, or by post. To be sure, clarify the details with the embassy or consulate. You may also visit their website to get information.
Your student visa has regulations and stipulations that you must abide by. No matter what type of visa you are applying for, providing the wrong information or omitting any pertinent details during the application process automatically invalidates it.

Each country has its own requirements for issuing Student Visas. Therefore, to get the details correctly, your first and most reliable source of information during the course of your application is the country’s embassy website.
No. A Study Permit proves the validity of your purpose for staying in a country. However, you cannot use it as evidence that you are legally allowed to enter the country. For this, you have to present a Student Visa.
In Canada, there are instances where foreign students are required to also present a Visitor Visa or electronic Travel authorization (eTA). Once the Canadian embassy approves the Student Visa application, they will issue these documents along with it.
In most cases, particularly in Canada, the validity of a student permit covers the entire duration of the study program plus 90 days. The 90 days is added to provide you with enough time to prepare for leaving the country or applying for an extended stay.
To give you an idea about the length of time covered by a Study Permit in Canada, consider the factors and explanations detailed below:
Note: If this situation applies to you, you are obliged to present the completion letter, transcript, degree, or diploma.
