    Study permit

    You can submit the study permit application without an upfront medical. After that -- it's up to you if you want to wait for IRCC to send you a medical request or you can go for one and upload the results through webform.

    Unable to apply as Passport is about to expire

    If you're really desperate to get that May 15 deadline, you can submit an application with your nearly expired passport. After renewing it -- you can upload a scanned copy and an explanation through the webform. Definitely don't recommend this though.

    Medicals passed. No biometrics provided due to closure of vac's

    They probably will. OP = original poster -- I'm referring to Shadow_Man

    Medicals passed. No biometrics provided due to closure of vac's

    You can expect ghost updates like OP here. Give your biometrics as soon as VFS opens back up in India.

    Medicals passed. No biometrics provided due to closure of vac's

    Because they actually process applications without biometrics. It's just that you won't receive a decision nor PPR if you haven't provided it.

    Approved study permit, but found a mistake on IMM 1294 form

    As clearly mentioned in the previous replies, you can raise a webform to explain and attach the corrected form.

    Non-sds study permit application

    No one here can tell you what the chances of approval are. But judging from the documents you're going to provide, it does not look convincing that you have the necessary funds to pay for your studies.

    Online Study Permit Application from Outside Your Home Country

    If you're applying for a study permit, there won't be a section where you could upload your travel history. Although the VO might know your positive reputation of going in and out of Canada. The main reason that applicants sometimes get refused is that living outside your home country...

    Using a CD as a proof of funds

    Generally -- VOs prefer to see active bank statements with constant cash inflow and outflow. The inflow should come in small chunks and slowly reach the required amount. Fixed deposits can be showed but that is usually the supporting/additional proof. If you're a sep 2021 intake and chasing the...

    What is the Visa Officer's opinion about a student starting studies before visa approval?

    Totally agree lol. My family's experience with F1 visa was much easier. Filled the DS160, scheduled an interview appointment, was only asked where the student will be studying. Other family members got B1/B2 visas approved as well. Didn't even have to show proof of funds or SoP or travel itinerary.

    Visa rejection from Abu Dhabi

    Along with other doubts like your proof of funds, that certainly is the biggest issue. You demonstrated an intent to immigrate to Canada but was unsuccessful. Hence -- the officer thinks you're going to immigrate to Canada with a student visa. Only way to resolve this is to write a strong SoP...

    Help on flight to take to Montreal. Travelling July for August start of classes.

    That's a bit early but I doubt it will cause a problem. Your study permit will be issued at the initial PoE because that's where you will go through immigration and the initial 3 day hotel quarantine (if it still exists by then). Your domestic flight to montreal will not have any immigration...

    What is the Visa Officer's opinion about a student starting studies before visa approval?

    Indonesia. Last time I checked, we had a 95% approval rate for study permits. Agents here don't typically ask students to write an SoP too.

    Expired medical exam but NO request from IRCC

    Perhaps the officer's GCMS notes were as generic and vague as the original reasons of refusal(s).

    What is the Visa Officer's opinion about a student starting studies before visa approval?

    The former sounds more likely, although we might never know what the VO thinks. My friend submitted a study permit application in June 2020, started his studies from September 2020 - April 2021 and now on summer break. His SP was approved in late December 2020. Mind you that he is a fresh high...

    How long it to get PPR after the correspondence letter!!! It has been one week now since getting a correspondence letter.

    yeah -- I'm aware of the person you're talking about. It definitely does not always 100% leads to refusal, but we have seen most cases go like that in the past.
