I applied on May 6th and has no update till now.Today I called ircc to check on my application and they replied that my application is still in process.

I asked them about the classes online and they told me that I can't start my online class without an authorization letter or an AIP. If I start my class without an AIP it will affect my PGWP.

Guys correct me if I am wrong because In the webinar it was told that we can start our classes online without an Aip

You cant start ur classes w/o an AIP atleast. If someone told u that u should or could, please dont do that because God forbid if ur application is refused later, ur college wont refund u for the tuition and even if they do there will be no point.

As long as you have submitted your study permit application on or before September 14, then you can study online while still awaiting your AIP and it will count for your PGWP requirements.

You DO NOT need an AIP before the start of your classes as far as IRCC is concerned.

It doesn't make any sense. Many of the students are going to have there classes started and some have even started and if ircc doesn't even give us an approval what should the students do. They are making students confused.

In webinar they said we can start the class without an aip and now another agent says we can't.

Don't listen to these "agents". Most of them are not that knowledgeable about the latest updates. Do your own research.

If the primary source (IRCC) told you in their webinar that your time studying while awaiting the AIP will count for PGWP requirements, then you shouldn't be worried if an "agent" is saying otherwise. "Agents" know nothing.

Yes that's what I think because they were shocked when I told them we can start the classes without an aip.

you can. but you take all the risks.
Yes I know. But how can ircc do this to students who have deposited thousands of dollars by trusting ircc with their future.

Are they not loyal to us ? It is not simple as something like going to a car showroom and booking a car and waiting for it for months. It is my future in their hands. We are their clients. Its too much frustrating.

You're not a Canadian citizen, they do not need to be loyal to you. lmao
