Have you tried the student permit forum?

This is the Express Entry section.

Also, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/student.asp

I think Help Centre only lists few questions. I am not sure whether I can post one.
And just to clarify, even for online applications, I have to go to VFS only to give biometrics..right?
And do you have any idea how much time they take to process study permit applications? This link says it just takes 2 weeks for Japan. is it so?

Thanks so much man.

Uhm. I was referring to the study permit forums of canadavisa. The link I gave you was the overview page of IRCC for student permits. Had a quick peek and looks like SDS is for certain nationalities. - that’s afaik from tryna find the link to give you. Other than that, got no idea about study permits.

Yes.

No idea, man. Like I said this is an Express Entry-related thread. What I know is Express Entry info.

Hi...Manila visa office has asked me to submit a police clearance certificate. I have the document but its sealed in a cover and the cover says it should be opened only by immigration canada. But I AM APPLYING ONLINE. So, is it fine if I open the cover, scan and upload the document (or) should I send the cover via mail post to Manila visa office?

No, don’t open it! We had the same thing with our app, started 6/2018 and finished 5/2019, processes in Manila. My husband had a Japanese police criminal record check that says it shouldn’t be opened. We sent it unopened and our app was processed fine, he’s a PR now!

I opened it after asking IRCC on Twitter what to do with it. They said it was okay. Many have done the same and gotten PR as well.

So, no need to send that document to them via mail post for ONLINE applications? I am applying for study permit from Japan btw.

Did your husband apply using VAC? I mean OFFLINE application? I think then it must not be opened?

If possible, can you send me the link to that tweet in Twitter please?

Can’t bec it’s linked to my acct. But that’s what I did and like what I’ve said many have done the same.

Your call to take the advice or not.

This is just for TRV? They need your passport to stick your visa on a page.

Hello MVO-processed applicants,

Just an FYI, MVO seems to be a quick response office. 2-3 days turnaround time for email and passport processing.

Just sharing.
