Looks like AIP has been extended for Winter Intake as well:

How we process applications
We’ll process your application in our regular study permit process if you

We’ll process your application in 2 stages if

  • you submitted your application on or before December 15, 2020
  • your application is incomplete due to COVID-19 (for example, you’re missing your biometrics or medical), and
  • your program begins in the winter 2021 semester
If we process your application in 2 stages, this is what will happen:

Stage 1: We check your eligibility
In this stage, an officer reviews your application for

  • a letter of acceptance from a DLI
  • a Quebec Acceptance Certificate (if you’ll be studying in Quebec)
  • proof that you have enough money for
    • tuition fees
    • living expenses for yourself and any family members who come with you to Canada, and
    • return transportation for yourself and any family members who come with you to Canada
  • any family ties you may have to Canada
  • evidence that you’ll leave Canada when you no longer have legal status
If your application passes this first stage, we’ll let you know by email or in your online account. This doesn’t guarantee that we’ll approve your application and issue you a study permit.

What does this tell about cases with complete applications like us? This seems again ambiguous (deliberately). @amazing.cool
Although they said complete files will be processed normally... but looks like we are screwed once again!

They will now focus on providing AIP to keep cash inflow...

I am now really frustrated... if they wanted to this.. they should have done this earlier...

Our future is in dark ... no light at the end of the tunnel...

What do they mean by providing evidence for leaving when we have no legal status.

I agree bro. This is very disappointing. I am studying online from September. Many applicants applied after me got their decision. Even some Nov and Dec applicants. This is surprising since I submitted a complete non-SDS application following by Bio in early July. I know that there are some applicants like me.

Most common reason for rejection. You can show property, family (immediate spouse & kids, parents don't hold much value as per them), a job waiting for you when back, etc. Then based on the subjective decision VO makes he will decide on your character if you will leave the country or stay back on streets and do drugs. Apparently as per them, people are so desperate to come to Canada & live on streets with illegal status.
