Hey everyone,
1st attempt - Non SDS from India - Filed May on 24th - Refused on Jun 1st
2nd attempt - SDS - Improved my SOP & documents, filed on Jun 17th
Biometrics done on May 30th
Eligibility review not started yet
Fall intake - Classes start Sept 6th

Does IRCC prioritize and process study permits for people headed for September intake?
Not sure mine will arrive in time but I'm holding out hope

They haven't cleared May Cases until now. So you might have to wait little extra. No Priority intake basis, I guess. Most of the candidates right now for Sept only.

Hi everyone!!

Congrats to everyone getting their student visa acceptances- its really motivating to see that IRCC is on it and people are actually getting their visas on time!

Though i think most Indian students are still facing issues. I finished my biometrics on June 14th and have applied via Student Direct Stream...really hoping to get my visa by aug end latest as class start on Sept 06th!

Has anyone applied around the same time and is worried just like me? please tell me im not alone! :O

oh- do you mind sharing why your visa was rejected the 1st time?

The VO wasnt assured that Id leave Canada. And they felt my background & qualifications werent aligned with the course Im about to take
(I have 2+ years work experience in the very same field though)
Apparently non-sds has a higher chance of rejection. So this time I chose SDS

I provided better justification and improved my letter of intent
Hopefully second times the charm
