Wow.. big congratulations to you, I think you can still try to talk with your university if they can re-defer back to this fall intake.
i wish myself best of luck , if I have no decision by 4th September, I have to also defer to 2023.

My wife deferred from the Sep 22 term to the Jan 23 term but ended up receiving an approval in July. She spoke with her DLI to go back to the Sep 23 term but they said they could only put her on their wait-list. She decided to stay enrolled for the Jan 23 because being wait listed could mean to receive an updated LOA just a few days prior to the start of clasess, so you end up running and having to buy tickets with only a couple of days / weeks left.
At the time, I was not able to find a pattern as to how they were processing our application. Hopefully you receive a decision in less time than we did.
Good luck!
I'm really sorry to hear that, Ahmed. I don't know if this helps but I was in a similar boat as you. I also have a sister (married) who's been a Canadian PR for since 2018 and had applied for her citizenship a few weeks after I had applied for my SP. Of course, I did mention her in my 'Family information' form as well as how I intend to stay with her once I'm in Toronto.
I think my SOP was my savior here. I mentioned how I intend to move back to take care of my parents, both of whom are 60+ years old (truth is,I have another sister who lives with them, so I don't have to worry about them when I'm in Canada) and that I intend to start my own marketing agency once I'm back and how the place where my parents stay is an underserved market where my agency could do really good work for up and coming brands.
Hope this helps.
Our first application was refused back in 2021. When we reviewed the GCMS notes, it was clear the VO didn't even bother to read carefully the information. The brief explanation from the VO was filled with inaccurate information such as my wife being unemployed for "the last year" (she had stopped working for a couple of months), that we had been living in our country of residence since 2019 (we have been living here since 2013 and we are in the process of becoming citizens), and more.
Clearly, the VO saw something and decided to refuse the application without being bothered to review it carefully. Seems to me that refusals often times follow that pattern.
What is your full profile - current education and job, program applied to, family ties to Canada and home country, age etc.
I agree with the last para that VO sees something not right n end up not going into detail since he has already taken the decision.unless we dont see the full profil ,we cant suggest anything .

Congratz Mayank n all the best for your studies.... Thank you for uploading the complete timeline, very helpful for those awaiting the visa.
Thanks for sharing this.
1. Did you apply for in-person or via 2 way courier or in-person with 1 way courier? Could you please elaborate on the complete timeline if this is in-person submission.
2. If biometric VFS is different from the nearby VFS, is it possible to submit passport at nearby VFS and not at the one where we gave biometric?
1. So yes, I submitted, in-person, at VFS New Delhi on the 18th. 19th was a Friday, followed by the weekend, and then on Wednesday, 24th of Aug, I got the email to collect my passport.
2. I didn't read anything about having to visit a specific VFS. When I booked my appointment for the in-person submission, I was asked to choose a VFS from the drop-down on the VFS website. It didn't specify that I had to go to the same one where I submitted my biometrics. I chose the New Delhi VFS since it's a 45-minute drive from my place.
The pattern is all so random that we just can't figure out who's next in getting the PPR...all we could do is wait and don't lose our hearts and stay positive... Wish you the best of luck my friend. Hope we all get the PPR.
Congrats Mayank...did you ever raised a webform in between your waiting time?
