    International Student going to home country and coming back..do i need ETA/TRV?

    You should have a valid student permit AND TRV when when you re-enter to Canada. So if both didn't expire it should be ok, you don't need to apply again. Also, make sure that your TRV states that it allows multiple entries (i.e. not a single entry)

    Does the embassy in Abu Dhabi absolutely care about the program start date?

    Just curious, who did you submit the passport to? VFS or directly to the embassy? and in which country?

    Abu Dhabi embassy!!

    I don't want to make you feel down or anything, but I honestly don't think ANYONE can catch Fall 2016 if they applied after June and their application is processed in Abu Dhabi... I applied on June 8th from Dubai and still nothing until now. And don't forget that we still need to submit...

    Processing applications from this many countries in Abu Dhabi is a stupid decision, especially that most of these countries have their own embassies, consulates, or VACs, I can't find an understandable reason for that. It's just making it longer and harder for everyone, including people in Abu...

    I am also going to Queen's for my masters, (or maybe not anymore?!). Which department told you that? Because they gave me until the end of September, and I never discussed the option to reapply or anything because I am too stressed and scared about it. But IF they really assured you that they...

    I also forgot to mention, I contacted VFS this morning. After a long 15 minutes conversation of me complaining and explaining my case. They kept saying there is nothing they can do, and asked me to send an email for them explaining the issue and they will forward it. I informed them that I...

    To all those applying from the middle east & Pakistan DO NOT apply ONLINE

    On a side note by the way, isn't the 5-10 business days period already passed since they approved your application on 31st August? why didn't you tell them that? Unless they meant 5-10 days from today which is stupid and pathetic.

    To all those applying from the middle east & Pakistan DO NOT apply ONLINE

    No I never went there, this is my first time. But I have to be there within 10-12 days Max, failing to do that will result that I will completely lose the offer. Because there is no deferral for Masters, I will have to reapply next Fall and that would be pointless because I will be stuck in the...

    Study permit status from Abu Dhabi visa office

    Where did you apply from? I don't think it's a good idea to cancel after all this wait. Just keep your hopes up, hopefully you will hear something from them. Based on what I saw here some people waited 3 months and 25 days to hear back...

    Study permit status from Abu Dhabi visa office

    Thanks for the reply. I've been contacting VFS for weeks, they are useless, all they say is the approval needs MINIMUM 80 days. And ask me to submit case specific inquiries... I tried to call the embassy but it's only a useless answering machine, you can't talk to anyone. I even went to the...
