    I did but they didn't respond. I will have to send one again I guess. Since you have been deferred to January, won't going next month cause a problem being too early? I mean in obtaining the study permit from the border officer? Just curious because I've heard that you shouldn't go earlier...

    Did CIC stopped working or everybody there went on a vacation? I think they figured that they have forced everybody to defer so, no need to work now.....

    When you fill an online application, your country specific Document Checklist is created. It shows the TRV form as optional for Pakistan. I submitted it but for someone who didn't, this is not an issue. If CIC wants it, they will ask you to fill and upload.

    There are two things: 1) Temporary Resident Visa 2) Study Permit. Some nationalities do not require a TRV to visit Canada, while Pakistanis do. However, a TRV does not allow you to study in Canada, for example, Even US citizens do need a Study permit if the relevant program is longer than 6...

    I guess they require our passport to issue a Temporary Resident Visa. The actual study permit or work permit is issued when you land there. See http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=845&t=15 2 years. Which Uni and program?

    One more thing to add to above reply, If you are in a research program, tell your supervisor first about the delay and ask about what to do. In my case, my supervisor has asked me to drop courses in the first term, so that I may be able to join a bit later without missing classes. This has...

    No, if we defer, we don't have to reapply. Basically, deferring is you requesting your Uni to to transfer your admission to the next available term. Here, each uni might have different policy as to how technical details work. According to my knowledge, there are 2 cases: first, CIC realizes...

    I recently talked to the visa help office in my Uni and they said that while it looks that your file is being processed in your country, this is sometimes not the case. CIC operates a central system, which distributes work load among other offices in the world and inside Canada. Considering...

    With this situation, I suppose many of us would be thinking about deferring. I don't know anything about your Uni and program. Can you tell us? There is no universal deferment policy, it depends upon your University. Ask them. Same goes for scholarship deferment. You have to ask you uni.

    While you didn't receive a response, some paper based applications after 8th of June have been processed. In our (online applicants) case, no applicant has received a response after May. What we can conclude here is that online applicants are totally on hold for some reason.

    Exactly. As I said before, don't believe PIA or your friends. Contact Embassy if you still think otherwise.
