Hi! I received a letter from IRCC which was labeled “other”. I don’t know if that’s an AIP but it says

You are receiving this notification as an officer has reviewed the information and documents you provided to support your study permit application. Based on this preliminary eligibility assessment, your application has advanced to the next stage of processing.

Anyone knows if that’s an AIP? It also says I can commence study online.

Thanks!
I got same wording as well it's AIP. Congrats

Yeah, it is the AIP letter. I dont know why they put it in "other" subject, but it is the approval in principle letter. There is only form and they just modify ur application number, uci and address. Congratulation dude!!!! We are now close.

I submitted a study permit online application on June 9th, did biometrics on July 17th, got the AIP on August 21st. I didn’t when they started reviewing my application since they didn’t send me an email, but I guess that’s sometime around I submitted my biometrics.
Hope you get them ASAP!

You update it through IRCC Webform. But my suggestion is that: you should not do it right now. Bc this will interrupt the process of ur application, and it results longer delay in ur processing time of ur application at least during this pandemic. After getting study permit u can travel to Canada. U can reapply within Canada for study permit with the new letter of offer showing ur program period.

My husband received the same letter also, but I thought it only means that IRCC has started reviewing the application, as his status under "review of eligibility" has been changed to "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements." I'm not sure, but let see how others respond.
 
I'm a bit confuse. I read through you all's comments again and find that a few of you think that Davidcheung 1030's letter is an AIP. I thought that it only indicates the beginning of the review, as there is no wording about "approval in principle." And as Davidcheung1030 said, it is labeled as "others." My husband has not even received a correspondence letter after he has given biometrics...

So here is the letter that my husband received:

Hello,
While the COVID-19 pandemic has presented a number of challenges world-wide, Canada’s whole-of-government approach is aimed at protecting the health of Canadians while minimizing the economic and social impact of restrictions. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has implemented a temporary two-stage process to provide an update to international students who have not yet been able to provide all the required documents or information needed to have their application fully assessed in time for the fall semester.

You are receiving this notification as an officer has reviewed the information and documents you provided to support your study permit application. Based on this preliminary eligibility assessment, your application has advanced to the next stage of processing.

Additional information and documentation may be required in order to continue processing your application. If we previously requested that you complete biometrics and/or a medical examination and submit a police certificate, please do so as soon as you are able to. If you have not received a request from us for additional information or documents, please await further instructions.

Once we have received all requested information and documents, we will complete our assessment of your application and we will inform you of the final decision (approved or refused) made on your application.

While you await a final decision on your application you may commence your studies online.

If you are a representative who has received this notification, please ensure to advise your client(s) of this important information.

Thank you,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
