How come they're still giving some people AIP while others get the normal visa/permit? I don't get it.

But there are no new restrictions right now? Not sure why you want to defer. If you're worried about the "lockdowns" in Ontario and other provinces, let me tell you that the lockdowns in Canada are a joke compared to what you saw in India last year. Kind of weird to defer because of this reason...

Public institutions in Canada are usually recognized via legislation rather than specific government bodies. Here's how Seneca College was founded, for instance: https://www.senecacollege.ca/export/sites/www.senecac.on.ca/about/documents/History.pdf Why concern yourself with minutiae? If your...

I don't follow that logic at all. He can always claim that getting a credential from a Canadian public university would help him move to bigger and better companies in his homeland.

If they're so concerned about COVID then they should do what New Zealand has done - just shut off all visas. NZ hasn't been giving out student visas (with some exceptions) for some time now and they make it very transparent on their website...

Pretty sure public/private only matters for getting PGWP. For just getting points for a Canadian education, you can claim points as long as the institution is accredited (and you fulfill the other requirements). I mean the requirements literally say "an accredited Canadian university, college...

Yeah, I'm aware. I guess I didn't notice this is the Family Class Sponsorship subforum. My bad. :)

Don't forget you can apply for GCMS again regardless of them asking for an extension. Also, you can have different/multiple GCMS requests to both CBSA and IRCC - increasing the likelihood you'll get a response in time from at least one.

Or a resident... How much are they charging? Anything more than $20 is a ripoff. Here's one service: https://gcmsnotes.com/#pricing

Well, some cashback is still better than zero. It's not like international students are going to qualify for any better cashback cards. To be honest most students would only qualify for 0.5% cashback since the definition of a "grocery store" by CIBC/VISA is quite narrow. Search on...

When did you apply to Langara and how long did they take to admit you?

Plenty of videos on YouTube over the past month of people traveling to Canada from India on a student visa....

If your family can afford it, consult with an actual immigration attorney.
