We do having stayed in the US for a long time already. And wonder why IRCC sent out the medical request then the passport request. And now actually my husband gets the approval already and wonders if he still need to ask for the UMI in order to submit the medical report. @_@

My husband received a request from IRCC to do medical exam. However, when he went to the clinic, they could not find his information via IME or UCI. The clinic emailed to ask an Canadian case processing agent and she said that my husband's IME was cancelled by the visa office by accident and the...

After waiting for almost a year, my husband received responses from IRCC for his study permit. But he received correspondence letter, request for original passport, and medical examination at the same time. I suppose if IRCC requests original passport that means his study permit is approved. But...

By the way, what is the purpose of submitting the passport after receiving the approval for study permit? If one comes from an visa-exempt country (using eTA for general visit instead), will IRCC request to submit the passport also?

Thanks! It's helpful.

Haven't got a POE letter/Letter of Introduction, but want to know about the valid period in general for study permit in order to do so planning. Is there a general valid period for POE/Letter of Introduction for study permit?

I see. Thanks.

Is there a general period of expiration, say 3 months, 6 months, or different for people holding different passports?

Does anyone know if there is an expiry date of study permit approval letter? I mean, how late a student can enter Canada after the application of study permit has been approved and received the visa? No news about the application yet, but need to do some planning.

Does anyone know if there is an expiry date of study permit approval letter? I mean, how late a student can enter Canada after the application of study permit has been approved and received the visa? Would three to four months be fine?

Just found that the processing time in the US is now 26 weeks!! o_O

Unfortunately, nothing.

Does anyone know where I can buy Canadian Money Order in the US? My husband's school's health insurance only accepts local bank payment or money order. Even though we have not get our permit to get there, he has to enroll for it, as it is for the whole academic year; otherwise, we will not get...

My husband came across the same problem -- there is no indication on which visa office processing his application. As we lived in LA, we chose "No" for the question which asked whether we apply outside Canada (as there is a note that if you are affected by COVID-19, you should choose "No"). In...

Thank you for your info. It's encouraging. Hopefully we will get the final approval for both his study permit and my open work permit soon. It's just a long wait. Five months already...

But, doesn't it still depend on the final decision? I just do not dare to be happy too soon. Also, IRCC still has not started reviewing my open work permit as a dependent.

I'm a bit confuse. I read through you all's comments again and find that a few of you think that Davidcheung 1030's letter is an AIP. I thought that it only indicates the beginning of the review, as there is no wording about "approval in principle." And as Davidcheung1030 said, it is labeled as...

My husband received the same letter also, but I thought it only means that IRCC has started reviewing the application, as his status under "review of eligibility" has been changed to "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements." I'm not sure, but let see how others respond.

Have they started reviewing your application? My husband (non-US citizen) has a similar timeline as yours: applied in end March, gave biometrics in July 23,; he then updated info on legal status on Aug 7 via webform, got a reply on that update on Aug 13, but review still has not started...

The reply is quite standard, to be honest. But it does reiterate the files which we have uploaded (it could be automatic, I don't know) and there is the name of the agent and his number.
