Yes I have started my online classes. As for the tuition fees, I think it is depends on the school's policies, someone of them allow refund/partially refund by certain time. For myself, I wanted to start studying ASAP instead of waiting forever, so I started taking online classes. My logic is...

Hey thanks for checking! No, I still haven't heard any update since AIP...

You're not helping, you are only confusing people when you just say whatever you want with no evidence.

thanks！

I have heard that even when you receive a final approval, you will not be requested to send passport until the travel ban is lifted, is it true?

My visa is still fine, it’s not like it’s expiring tomorrow. But I believe after any visa expires, you have 60 days of grace period.

It’s expiring.

That is really a good news! Thanks! Do you think this rule still apply even when my home country and the US requires different documents in the SP application? E.g in the US, it’s not required to submit a medical form, but in my home country it is required.

I submitted my SP application on July 12, completed the biometrics on July 30. I’m in Atlanta. How about you?

Thanks for your insight!! The classes provided at my school are in-person classes, but since school is expecting international students cannot attend in campus, so they provided synchronized online access as well. Not sure if that would increase the chance of entering Canada...

I am also an F-1 holder in USA, and I also got my AIP on Aug 19th! Now I am worried what if I cannot receive my final approval before my F1 visa expires... if that really happens, should I withdraw my application and re-apply from my home country? uhh such a mess

If the semester starts in September, but one receives the SP final approval at a later time, say Oct or Nov, can this student still travel from US to Canada? Does traveling in the middle of a semester imply that this trip is non-essential?

letter of explanation

sorry that I don't know...

I don’t know the full process, but I once asked this question to my advisor at school - and I got advised to update both the acceptance letter and the LOE in application.

omg really? But does it even make sense? I mean the travel ban alone can already limit travels, why do they have to align visa approvals with it :(

Good to know, thanks!

I also submitted full application and got AIP in Aug. I would like to take advantage of this AIP and start classes online already. What’s your concern?

i guess so

Ohh! Really? I thought VAC’s are only helping to collect and deliver applications instead of actually reviewing applications. I’m not sure tho...
