A travel agent said that transiting via Doha/Middle East airports sometime would be a bit of a hassle due to this pandemic and that the airports there may impose strict regulations while transferring to connecting flights. Could anyone share your experiences/views on whether choosing Qatar...

Thanks! I am destined to Quebec. Do you know which of the above would apply for me?

Could anyone clarify whether the 3 day hotel quarantine is inclusive of the 14 day one, or the 3 day and 14 days are separate quarantines, i.e the total quarantine would be 17 days? Thanks!

Hello, the GIC is requirements are for SDS applicants. You have to show GIC when you apply under SDS. In my case, I applied under regular study permit process (received a PhD offer from Quebec institution) and I did not show GIC. I only submitted the financial support letter from my supervisor...

My study permit was recently approved for winter 2021, but I deferred to summer/May intake. Therefore, my CAQ that I received for winter intake is not valid and I need to apply for a new one. Does anyone have a similar situation as mine? My question is, would IRCC ask for the CAQ immediately...

Again, I'm not here to say/decide what is fault or not. This thread deserves my opinion and I'm done with it. As my answer reads, it is purely untargeted, and I made sure it addresses my personal perspective relevant to the reply that I got in a very general way.

Are you talking to me? I didn't create this thread. Personal opinion always matter, one has to have self realization before coming to a conclusion on any aspects with regard to visa/immigration in Canada. I hope everyone are mature enough to take a self-decision rather worrying about others...

Is there a difference in passport pickup fee for those who availed the premium lounge service and normal service?

Congratulations! I'm exactly in the same situation. My permit was approved on the same day as yours, and it was intended for winter/January intake. I discussed about this few experienced people here in this forum and they said I can go ahead with passport stamping for visa, but make sure I get...

Hey, I think giving your biometrics has nothing to do with premium and normal. In my case, I received my biometric request from Delhi immigration office irrespective of these services, and I didn't even know that premium service exist when I booked my appointment in November. I was only asked...

I didn't go for it. They almost made me to choose premium lounge, but immediately after some minutes I changed my decision. I personally didn't see any difference in this service, except SMS tracking for passport delivery, refreshments etc. SMS service you can opt separately when you request for...

There is no option I think. The only way is to submit your request via webform.

Congratulations. When does your winter term starts and are you thinking about deferring to summer term? If you're deferring to summer, in case, I read that you need obtain a new CAQ for summer term, as you won't be allowed use the CAQ obtained for winter term. I'm asking just in case you want...

Here is the webform. https://vfs-cic.mioot.com/forms/PS/ Enter your details and submit it.

Congratulations! Now you feel better I think. Yes, I'm into the PhD program.

Thanks. Like I said, you might either get a faster response or it might take its own time. Try to allow sometime, you eventually get your decision. I'm just doing my bit here, so others could get an idea. Good luck!

Thanks. I got my OPR a day ago.

Generally, it takes minimum of 2-4 months to process the study permit application. I do not have much idea about AIP, but your timeline looks good. I guess you would be undergoing review for eligibility now, i am not sure. This stage could take its own time. But don't worry, the current trend...

Yes, that is the BVL exactly, which I received it too recently. A decision soon on your application will be followed behind this BVL, which people generally say that this is the probably the last stage of processing and an indication that your application has been finalized.

Thank you! Yes, more or less, but it has become difficult for me to predict anything during the waiting time, since there was uncertainty about travel restrictions, lockdowns etc in Canada.
