Hi

I have a very strange case.. So my study permit was approved on 28/12/18 (online) . I have submitted my passport , my status online shows that student visa has been granted till april 2020. However, now York University wont grant me extension because i am missing orientation tomorrow i.e, on 3/1/19. I just have to collect my passport from vfs. What to do?

Hi A 22,

My brother is on the same boat as well. His passport has been dispatched from the embassy and he has yet to receive it. We are afraid he won't be able to make it before the 7th so I contacted the school and was advised the last date to register and attend classes is the 16th. He will miss his orientation tomorrow but was told is ok if he miss couple of days. One other option they told me was for him to defer his admission to next semester.

Did you ask for a deferral or just to extend your start date? How long of an extension did you request? We are afraid that he might face issues at the airport if he shows up after the 7th.

My brother will be attending York University.

I just received a response from York that I should contact my department and they should be able to tell me whether missing few days will be acceptable or not. I will be going to one of my brothers orientation tomorrow so will try to get more detail from the school.

Thanks

Whom have you spoken with at yorkU? My admissions coordinator is now telling that this happens to alot of international students and york doesn’t grant extension for arrival dates. She has marked my GPA in an email stating that she will deenrol my admission.

Please tell me whom should i talk to?
