There is no checklist as such. But the thing is : When you apply for study permit, you need to assure the Visa Officer(VO) that you will leave Canada post your studies and will not live there illegally afterwards since many in the past, have abused this to get an entry to Canada and then did not...

Frankly speaking, it will be a difficult case - 15 years of gap is a big education gap. That coupled with dependents will make it even more difficult to get a study permit.

Both will happen - but first it will appear in your CIC account.

CIC generally discourages applying using multiple application quoting that it delays your processing further. So, in my opinion, you need to wait for some time. As is written here, they will get back to you after full assessment of your situation...

Isn't it obvious? Your visa has been approved, dude! Congos! :)

Maybe trying adding an SOP wherein you mention clearly your motivation as to why you chose this college, why Canada, how exactly will degree help you, etc. may enable you to overcome the 'Purpose of Visit' point.

I think since this is not a case of study permit rather temporary resident, you can get better opinions and help asking in the Visitors forum. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/forums/visitors.8/

It shouldn't be a problem. Just to be sure, let me ask this thing: You are submitting an affidavit / oath by your maternal aunt that she will act as your sponsor, right? If yes, then in the SOP, clearly mention that your aunt will be your sponsor as one of the points. Then adding your bank...

If it is not much of a hassle for you to obtain your bank statement, then it will be a good idea to attach it too.

Yep - happened with me.

Also, what about your college fees?

An affidavit is one of the things that should be added wherein the sponsor should swear an oath that the money is available for use by the applicant freely.

Did you submit an affidavit that your dad is willing to sponsor you besides providing your dad's bank statement. If not, add it. If yes, I would like to ask if you submitted the proof that you paid your first year fee or showed an equivalent bank loan certificate.

You will get that once your passport get stamped.

I think you need to provide an affidavit confirming that your guardian will sponsor you in addition to whatever proof of funds you have like GIC, bank account statement, proof of paying one year fee, etc.

You should talk to your university / college about deferral of your studies to the next term.

Yes, you can change the status while visa is being processed. You need to fill a web-form to inform the authorities of the change in your status. Refer to this link for more information: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=052&top=3

I hope you get yours soon too.

Best shot for you would be to take a medical test and submit it using Case specific enquiry.
