Is your application for fall intake? Mine is winter, the economic insecurity here is getting on my nerves, seriously. I follow people from Irmãos Prezia' Area VIP, there are also no updates from people there since aug 6.
AIP’s Today

That's so true. How I wish Canada realizes that international students are also humans, & shows some empathy towards us, our studies, our time, futures, careers, efforts, struggles, sacrifices & most importantly our lives.
But no, they are into fooling everyone and keep giving AIPs, and holding up applications without any response while side by side preventing the travel & entry of even the so-called "exempt" students with full approval before March 18th, by saying that online classes are "non-essential".
I'll be honest when I say that the past few months have been torturous, even though I have a full approval before March 18th. It's extremely difficult to manage the stress. I am not allowed to travel & enter even for a graduate level, research-intensive master's program just because I have online classes that are supposedly "non-essential".
In the meantime, CBSA keeps allowing some students ( 1st time entrants to Canada ) inside everyday with fully online classes for the fall.
Then why not allow all students inside?
I expected them to be fair & just. But alas.

The only thing I need right now is just a straight answer from IRCC about my application. Yes or No, so I can move forward rather than just waiting desperately. So dissapointed.
Me too I am even ready to face the refusal
Thanks for your idea. But now it's too late since it will take more than 10 days for the result. The deadline for deferral decision is Aug 31, so it doesn't make any sense to get the GCMS. On Aug 31 if there is no result, I will defer or cancel.
I feel the same way. We all understand COVID-19 makes things hard for government and students, but there is no logic behind allowing students from the center of COVID (US) to Canada while forcing all others to stay in their home country.
They need to set concrete rules for CBSA officers. We are not living in an ideal world. Apart from the bandwidth and power shortage issues, the timezone difference creates the biggest problem. I am also a graduate student and entirely sure that there is no benefit of online courses for research-oriented programs.
Yep, fall intake, classes start Sep 8th. It's been pretty hard to stay sane with all this political nonsense, covid and on top of that this IRCC drama..
I feel you... it's not easy to be brazilian these days though hope you have your AIP asap!
