Just to close the loop on this: I sent off my forms to Ottawa September 6th, and on October 7th had the confirmation via email that the restrictions were removed and that a new, amended study permit has been posted to my address, allowing me to work off campus etc. So, it was incorrect (needing...

Sure, have a good worry. Helps everything.

No wonder the system is grinding to a halt when people are calling to find out the reason for a ghost update. They will contact you if and when they have information to provide.

Yes, you will be allowed to enter. You may be sent to secondary processing. If you're going to renounce in future then no issues. It's easily done online.

Utterly useless, don't bother. I am a student at Centennial. Centennial partnered with Borderpass. I started uploading my documents to them, but they asked for so much unnecessary documentation that I decided to just apply on my own to IRCC. It's as if they are trying to send you to the moon...

Are you 100% sure about not being able to get a SIN? My cousin applied for a SIN (while overseas) over 2 years after his soft landing. The letter was sent directly to his overseas address.

Thank you both for your input, once again. Forevermore76, I’d revisit your definition of a diploma mill. Centennial is the oldest public community college in Ontario, and while I agree some of the qualifications gained there may be of use to neither man or beast, they have a good reputation...

Thanks for your input. Working in admin for over 15 years prior to this move, I am well versed in people making administrative mistakes. Perhaps this is a mistake, perhaps not. However, checking governmental policies I cannot find it written anywhere where policy would dictate that someone in my...

Hi folks, I arrived into Pearson yesterday morning, and received my study permit. Super quick and easy process. From landing to being in the arrivals area took 45 mins (most of that time was waiting for baggage). However, my study permit has a clause saying "This permit does not authorise the...

Just to follow up - arrived yesterday morning into Toronto Pearson. I was the only person going to secondary processing for my study permit. It was issued in about 2 minutes. From landing to being in the arrival hall took a total of 45 minutes - most of the wait was for my baggage. Super easy...

2 year diploma. No masters degree. I needed to get a PAL. Non-SDS. Buenos Aires visa office.

Yes, that’s why I replied in your “non-SDS current process time” thread. I applied for a 2 year diploma in transport. Got my PAL beginning of May. Career change for me, currently in medical administration. 39 years old, common law partner is a chartered accountant and will be staying at home...

It seems to vary widely. I applied on 9 May and it was approved on 23 May. Got my letter of introduction and my passport counterfoil on Friday.

Just an update from me. Super, super fast application process. Applied- May 9th Biometrics already done for visitor visa BIL validity letter - May 23rd Passport Request Letter - May 23rd. 2 weeks!!! My background: Complete career change. I am currently in medical administration. Going to...

Thank you for your input. I think I was overcomplicating things with the notary. As you say, affidavit is also not needed as the translators are official government sanctioned workers that provide all the certification required. I will submit as per your experience! Gracias!
