Oh no worries at all! I am very grateful for your time to even read my post and give very valuable insights! It means a lot to me, so thank you! I actually applied through SDS last May 13th, but unfortunately there is no movement. My medical passed has been reflected at GCKEY last June 2nd but the "reviewing eligibility" hasn't even started. Thus, I am managing expectations because I personally know of 2 other more sds applicants who have been waiting for ongoing 5 months already.
If I may clarify further sir, does this mean it's acceptable to withdraw from school while student permit is ongoing or no outcome yet? The only reason I am withdrawing and then re-applying again to the same university and program is because the university don't offer deferral. So essentially it will be the same DLI but I think I won't have any deferral letter to show instead a new LOA for either winter / fall 2022 intake.
If I am able to secure the new LOA before my student permit is approved, I can just send it via webform to IRCC to update my student permit?
On the other hand, if my student permit gets approve first before I am able to secure the LOA, since it will be the same DLI and program - I don't need to update IRCC prior to entering to Canada since my visa is approved already? Or I still need to send it via webform?
Thanks so much again for any insights you can share!
for the most part, I have never seen any offer letter specifically mentioning about deferment, so the offer letter won't trigger anything. what I'm worried about is whether ircc or your uni try to contact each other, which I don't know much about, for some reason because withdrawal means your study permit is invalid. So, to be on a safer side I would tell you to go with study permit withdrawal if you are going to withdraw from university and use the acknowledgement email from that to immediately re-apply. I'm only telling you this because you have a year, If you're to withdraw
