I got the required stamp from the Protector of Emigrants office in Karachi today (took approximately one hour). There is a lot of outdated information on these forums, so I'm just going to provide some key points below. For reference, I studied in Canada, switched to a PGWP permit, and then...

Hi, I travelled to Canada in 2021 on a study permit and recently graduated; I now possess a work permit and work full-time as a contractor for a company. I travelled back to Pakistan in late December and had my flight today, but was denied boarding because I didn't have a "protector stamp" on...

Hi. I plan to flagpole at the Philipsburg/St. Armand border to obtain my post-graduate work permit (PGWP). I am trying to work out the logistics of travel. I plan to take a greyhound bus and get off at the US border, and once my paperwork there is done I need to make it back to the Canadian...

Thank you.

Hi, I received my passport a couple of months back with an S-1 stamped student visa. As I understand it, this is not a study permit. I am an international student, and I've been told that the study permit is provided at the border after presenting this visa. Is this true? If not, what is the...

Nope. Tried on different browsers as well.

Hello! Is the CAQ hard-copy certificate required to enter the country, and is it actually delivered to you if you are outside of Canada? I'm asking because I received my soft-copy approval at the end of June (which I used to apply for my study permit), and the decision notice states that the...

Would this be the "Client Information" optional document? Are there any other documents that should be uploaded to it too? For example, an English proficiency certificate or undergraduate transcript?

Yeah, I read some stories on this forum about prolonged delays - that's unfortunate. I hope my visa will be issued in time for the 2nd semester at least as the 1st semester is being conducted online entirely anyway (I can't defer because of supervisors having deadlines on funded projects)...

Thanks for the info. I guess Police Clearance will be posted later as well, as it isn't showing up now. It seems like the processing time for visas for Pakistan has gone up nearly four-fold to 28 weeks (!) based on this site. My semester starts in September, but it will be conducted entirely...

Hello, I am applying for a Study Permit. My country (Pakistan) is in the list of designated countries, but after answering the questionnaire there is no request for a Medical Certificate. I find this a bit odd, as it seems like a medical and police certificate is required based on where I live...
