Students applying from the UK

[physicsphdhopeful]

Hey everyone,

If you're applying from the UK, can you help me out?

I sent off my study permit application on the 14th July. CIC currently has an estimated processing time of 2 weeks. Anyone experienced a different time or is this about right? My flight is soon and I'm worried I won't get it in time!

P.S. If anyone wants CAQ timeline info, I applied for it on the 9th June, and received it on the 13th July.

Thanks

Oh thats good news actually.

I dont understand the part where they stated "part of the processing is done in Canada"

Does that mean our application is processing in canada and not the London High Commission?

No idea mate but it may means that background checks required from Canada is being done

and its only GOOD news because my file is alive, it has nothing to do with positive decision mate

Thanks for your comments everyone - I just received my study permit, so it actually took less than 2 weeks! Sent on 14th July, arrived 27th July. It was an online application if that makes any difference.

Heyy, can you share your profile please?

Also have you sent the passport? Or does it just states online that it has been approved?

You are very fortunate. I applied on 10th July. I'm yet to hear from them and somewhat anxious. Did online application. Going for Phd, University of Manitoba

 

[physicsphdhopeful]

My passport was stated as approved online, I did not have to send it off. I was very lucky.

I don't know what you mean by profile?

You still have to take your passport to Canada House in London to have it stamped I think. What country are you from and what school are you going to for your phd if you don't mind my asking

Have the visa put on it I mean.

Is there any other person who has seen his or hers and applied this July?

 

[physicsphdhopeful]

I'm applying from the UK. I am applying for a PhD in Quebec.

They will stamp/put my visa on at the Canadian border. I don't have to do anything else.
