VACs in India will remain closed for October too.

Well there's no end to demands, isn't it? Even if they are justified. Students are going to demand for full approvals, then they'll demand for entry in to Canada or try to fly in to Canada any way and be denied at border. Unprecedented times = unprecedented or extreme measures. Though I do think that they should now start working on full approvals but I also see that this is the only way they can control the huge influx of students trying to enter Canada by ignoring travel restrictions.

Come on Man, let’s just say they don’t give a damn and I don’t know why do you defend them everytime! Are you an agent or what? There are students who took huge loans from bank to pay their tution fees and they are just sitting at home doing nothing while paying the hefty interest amounts. Holding your money and decisions for 7 months and still not giving a clarity about it is wrong on every humanitarian ground and no reason can justify it. When every other county is working and allowing immigrants then why can’t Canada!

Yes, I can't get my GIC refunded, why should my 10k be stuck for one year. If they really don't want people in their country, then they should stop the process altogether, or at least stop taking more files. Even if it's justified that doesn't mean it is morally right to capitalize on people's ( especially students) dreams. all whoever have gone from this process can empathize with our desires. The one who already have applied and are eligible to go to Canada should be allowed to enter.

They are very clearly indirectly saying international students are on your own. no one is going to help you. They cannot think of a solution? its been 7 months now. inhumane treatment.

Not sure why you think all other countries have open borders. Asutralia is perfect example.

 

[canuck78]

so if the vaccine never comes they will never open? wow!

There will be a vaccine. If not enough people get the vaccine it will take longer to open up borders worldwide. Always comes down to covid levels. If on the spot accurate testinf becomes nire available that will also allow borders to open up faster in Canada.

They are just explaining why VAC is closed. It is all because of the high levels of covid in India and the lack if guarantee of access to high quality healthcare. Would assume the actual levels of covid are mich higher than reported. Just a fact that if there are concerns about the health and safety of foreign service enployees their families are sent back to Canada right away and the enployees follow after that. It seems as though a few people have remained to deal with any real emergencies. For example repartiation of bodies. You did have the ability to withdraw your application at any time.

There are still applications being approved. If covid levels worldwide and in Canada would remain very low there woild be options. Most Canadian universitu students have also been affected and are studying online. Some have decided to delay their studies because they want to study in person. Would add that not admitting all these international students have severe economic implications for Canada. If there was an good solutions international students would be admitted and classes would be in person. College and unuliveristy aged students are the ones spreading covid across Canada at the moment. There are still many international students who are receiving CERB and will continue to provide financial suppoet if they qualify. It is various generoia of Canada to provide this level flof financial suppoet via CERB. Many received much more money that they woukd have made working. Most international students depend on employment to support their studies. The concern is to get those already in Canada and entitled to work to get back to work before adding tens of thousands of more people looking for mostly service jobs. There also needs to be consideration of the lack of jobs for new international students when looking at policy options

demands? after investing more than 30,000 CAD? really? you can refund the GIC and continue ... reduce the fees... do something that favors us. 30,000 cad is a huge amount sir.

Most students are essentially paying for PR and aren't actually genuine student. Even if Canada raised the fees there would not be a shortage of applications. If people can qualify to PR other ways they can save themselves so money. You are acting like international students are not receiving anything in return for theìr tuition. They are not only receiving a good education but they are qualifying for a very easy pathway to secure PR. If their education isn't great the student likely selected the school because it was easy to get accepted, students rarely are failed, the school was selected basd on tuiton fees, etc.

Australia give students visas within a week even if they apply outside of Australia. I saw some people get the full visa in two days bro.

No, sir not necessary my first choice was ETH Zurich but i couldn't get in. Then i chose University of Calgary because of the oil sands industry in Alberta. I didn't choose canada because of PR. There is nothing International in International education if one is studying online from their home country.

Official website mentions 4 ~ 6 months of processing time for Australia. Go and check.. If you are not the one who received visa in 2 days, then there's no credibility to this report.

 

[5678]

No. I’m pretty sure some students get visas less than one months. Also, some Australian PR and citizens get their travel exemptions within a day. Believe it or not

So, this way you justify that Canada has all the right to milking the international students to seize their hard earning money and generously pay $2,000 dollars to each spineless Canadians like you who are hiding at home and receiving free money at the cost of international students savings. International students are paying huge tuition fees but staying at home and getting 200 dollars useless online education at the price of 10,000 dollars, then later how they will get PR? Other countries are not doing that, they are not deceiving international students by luring them saying easy PGWP and easy PR. Be straightforward and honest.

Moreover, a 8 month or a 12 month degree completed from outside of Canada cannot be used for Canadian Education points when filing a PR. You need to be in Canada for at least 8 months while being enrolled full-time at an educational institution..

Source? Don't assume things! With same logic, you are not qualified for PGWP. If IRCC says you are qualified for PGWP then you are qualified for points!

4b) Have you earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate?
Note: to answer yes:

• English or French as a Second Language must not have made up more than half your study
• you must not have studied under an award that required you to return to your home country after graduation to apply your skills and knowledge
• you must have studied at a school within Canada (foreign campuses don’t count)
• you had to be enrolled full time for at least eight months, and have been physically present in Canada for at least eight month
