Hi guys,

I've got an email from VFS London to submit my passport in 5 days. What does it mean. Does it mean that that my application is processed and they just need my passport for the final decision or what? I haven't done my medical or anything. Do they ask for medical from everyone? I applied on 10th Oct.

Your help will be appreciated. Please post if you got visa or applied for visa from London CHC.

What you think how long does it take normally for the passport to be returned back after submitting it to the CHC.

Yes, I need a TRV. You guys really raised my hopes up. They emailed me this:
"This is regarding you study permit application xxxxxxxxxxx.
The high Commission has requested you to submit the passport within the next 5 days to continue processing your application.
You can come in to our centre Monday to Friday 8.30 am-4pm to submit the passport or post it to our address and we will forward it to the High Commission of Canada."

I don't know what this means... I mean when I was submitting my application they didn't take my passport, while I heard that people who need TRV should submit their passport along with their application; they asked for my passport now so does it mean that my application was incomplete and they need my passport so that my application is completed and be able to be processed, OR does it mean that my application is already processed and now they need my passport for approval.
Have you or your husband been asked for the medicals?

Request for the passport means you got the visa. But I didn't get one thing. When you applied, didn't you submit the scan copy of your passport? I also applied online London office. They asked me to upload
1. IMM1294E Application for Study Permit
2. IMM5645E Family Information
3. Bank Statement
4. Copy of My Passport
5. Digital Photo
6. Letter of Explanation (Study Plan, Police Clearance Certificate, Resume, My Tax Certificate, My Existing Employment Letter, Company Registration Form, Company Tax Paper and My IELTS Test Result. I merged all the document to 1 document, made it pdf and uploaded it. I submitted my company papers because my company is my guarantor of return after my studies)

Did you upload the same documents when you applied for visa online?

I guess I haven't put it clear earlier, I applied through visa application centre VAC London - not online. However, yes I have submitted my passport copy and other travel visas copies with my application. I submitted almost the same documents you mentioned except any documents about tax etc, as I am not working currently, but included a letter from the company where I was working before and will be working after my course in Canada, and educational documents too.
I haven't been asked for medical test though, not sure if it is required from everyone applying for a study permit? When did you apply btw?

Ok I got it. You are tensed why they asked for your passport without even requesting for medical. Your situation made me confused as well. But I am sure when you request to submit the passport, they actually stamp the visa. Otherwise why would they tell you to submit your passport, right?

I applied on the 2nd Nov cause got my LOA on the 30th Oct. I don't know how long it will take in my case.. I applied from Sweden (I am originally from Bangladesh), so I had no other option except applying online. But good luck man. Let me know when you get any update. Btw, which college/university are you going & which subject?
