Just got my stamped passport back and 'letter of introduction'. Here's my complete timeline: Upfront medical: 7th May File lodged: 27th May Biometrics submitted and processed: 1st June Medical processed: 29th July Biometrics Validity Letter: 15th August Passport Request: 16th August Passport...

I'm really sorry to hear that, Ahmed. I don't know if this helps but I was in a similar boat as you. I also have a sister (married) who's been a Canadian PR for since 2018 and had applied for her citizenship a few weeks after I had applied for my SP. Of course, I did mention her in my 'Family...

A new medical request? Did you not pass your previous one? As in, maybe something about your health was flagged, perhaps. Please take care and hope it's nothing more than just a glitch or IRCC being IRCC.

Depends on the rule of that country. For example, you need a transit visa, free of charge, if you're flying via UAE. It takes 2-3 days to get this. However, some countries don't require. For example, Egypt or Oman don't require one if you stay in the airport for up to 48 hours. I was about to...

Also, just to add @parrots: The 'Dual intent' rule states that Canada understands you are interested in both permanent and temporary stays in Canada. Also, you're in your legal right to apply for PR even if you're a TR. However, when you apply for a temp visa, they need to know you'll honor the...

IRCC is super unpredictable and definitely unreliable. Really sorry you have to keep waiting but I hope you get a positive response soon! OK so more clarity on the EE profile thing (and pls note that this is just from the conversation between me and my agent; whether this applies to everyone is...

I don't know whether you not mentioning this might land you in trouble or not but I do know that they'll have your deets in their database and they can cross-check. I would recommend you speak with an agent to see if there's a way you can upload a new visa form or if you should let it be.

Hey! I'm sorry you're still waiting to hear back; the despair I felt the entire waiting time was gut-wrenching and I would never wish that on anyone except perhaps my ex lol. I'm kind of glad they stuck to the FCFS policy because I would have hated to wait till Sept or Oct only to find out I was...

Thank you. I'm sure they'll hear back this week, if not today itself.

Yup! I was accepted in a Fall program too but seeing how IRCC was still taking months to process apps back in Jan 2022, I decided to opt for the winter term. Luckily, it only took about 84ish days but these were NERVE-WRACKING! Now, I'm going to book tickets at a more affordable price. I hope...

I finally got my PPR just 30 mins ago! Timeline: Upfront medical: 7th May Lodged: 27th May Biometrics submitted and processed: 1st June BVL: 15th August PPR: 16th August College: Seneca@York Intake: Jan’23 IELTS: 8.5 A little about me: B Com (Hons.) from Delhi University 2015 graduate but...

27th May applicant here with medicals that were updated on the 29th of July. I received my BVL last night and my file is under review. Happy that there's progress but concerned I didn't get my PPR right away. I've seen almost 99% of people posting screenshots of their GCKey online that they...

It takes more than a few days to do that. For a friend of mine, it took just over a month for everything.

Yeah, even I feel it's too good to be true. I want to stay optimistic but no way they're going to clear all May backlogs in five days when there are people still waiting from March and April (and from even before)!

Just a little curious: How many Indian May SDS applicants still waiting to hear back? I applied on the 27th and I haven't heard back anything yet after seeing my medical processed on the 29th of July. At the same time, I saw someone say a bigwig from IDP India spoke to some folks from IRCC and...

Saw some 26th May people receive their decisions today. Yours could be on the horizon

Over the past few days, I've noticed most of the May files that are getting their decisions are all between the 1st and the 25th of May. I think they might move on to 26 and above (including June) maybe by next week. Fingers crossed.

You might get a request to share new medicals. I would recommend you at least make a reservation at the medical centre, just in case (considering it may take you 15-20 days to get your medical done)

To process applications according to the nearest intake is such flawed logic. Instead, they should maybe have a 'Fastrack' option where someone can pay an additional nominal amount to get their visas processed faster. Cons of this whole "intake-wise" processing: - Since their processing times...
