1) I got it on August 13th, right after both my biometrics and medicals got passed
2) They send me an information letter through GC Key. It came directly from my embassy. It has my study permit number and what date is it valid until. This letter got into my account yesterday.

NOTE: My documents had mixed dates because I got accepted to study until May 2023, the LOA mentioned May 2024, and my recalculated credits made my grad date May 2022. I asked my university to give me new LOA reflecting this recalculation (I am a transfer student). I send the new info through the webform. Once the processing facility received my letter I got my "information letter" the next day. So I STRONGLY recommend to send updated directly to IRCC through webforms to avoid delays. And in some case, double check your grad date with financial statements and letters of purpose. You never know if maybe they are confused and it causes them delays.

3) There is no update. I guess if they did they would be required to request my passport. I guess if anybody else who applied from outside of the US or Canada they would receive the same "information letter" without an update to GC key
Thanks.

Better to check with candidates who received AIP (and had given Biometrics also) ....whether they received Corres Letter before AIP or not.

From what i understand is that AIP (2 staged process) is only for those candidates who have some missing documents they couldn't submit due to Covid situation (eg Medical, Biometrics, Police Certificate etc).

For the candidates who have already submitted Biometrics and /or other documents their getting a biometrics correspondence letter is not surprising.
No,i had applied with complete application on 10 march,but received AIP On 19 August...

I transferred into 3rd year of my Bachelor Degree from the US university. And I applied from Ukraine, which means Kyiv was processing my application
