Hello everyone,
I think I should share my experience as I just got the approval today.
I applied on August 27th, 2021 from Vancouver.
Eligibility review started on November 28th, 2021 in the early morning and final decision was made 1 day later.
I applied with medical exam, explanation letter, job offer as I found out that I accidentally worked more than the allowed hours in summer term. Summer was my last semester and I didn't know that I can only work 20 hours if it is my last semester. I worked full-time and studied full-time at the same time.
I panicked during my last week of classes, stopped working, and emailed school to send me the letter of completion asap. Many people told me to submit my application without disclosing the issues to them as it was the summer and I studied full-time, so officers may not look at the hours. However, I chose to disclose everything and provided to them all the documents that I have.
It was a long wait time for everyone, so I hope that my experience can help to relieve your stress!!!
Cheers.
