I do not know other countries. In my country, it is common to have an interview when applying a study permit.

Some experience say that sometimes, if there are no additional information needed, you could get answer directly if you pass the process after the interview and the only next step will stop you is your health condition.

So, it should be not a big deal. We have already expected the interview call. It is better than just get rejection letter, isn't it?

In our case, since we apply online, we directly get email from CIC. It was confirmation generated by machine regarding our submission and application number.

In your case, VFS need to work with your document, such as scan it and enter your data to the CIC system, before send the hard copy together with others to VO. So, give VFS 2-3 days from the date you handover the documents. It should be no problem.

Do you have Client ID number? Is having a client ID number normal or is it a positive sign? Your wife receive email after 1 working day to go for an interview? Do you have request for medical?

No, we have not yet gotten the MR. Learning from previous experiences, the MR would be given to applicants after they attended the interview. So, it is normal for Indonesian applicants. In contrary, I have not found an Indonesian applicant without an interview. It is why processing time in Indonesia takes 4-5 weeks, more than twice compare to India which takes only 2 weeks.

my wife interview is scheduled in next week. I think that they give us some time to prepare additional documents, i.e. related to my business. So, could not share any thing regarding the interview for now.

Yes, we directly got email that show the application number for each applicants (we are 5 people). I think, we must get an application number. It is a proof that we have applied and will be need for communicating with VO.

Some previous experiences show that after the interview we will get a signal either we have satisfy the VO or not. If they take our passport and give as a form for medical exam then we have a positive sign. In contrary, if they do not take our passports and only say that they will inform us later then it would a negative sign that they are possibly rejecting our application.

You must scan from the original, except the application form IMM1294E. The application form must be filled using adobe reader program. Don't forget to click validate button on the document and save it as PDF. It does not need to sign on the document, you will be asked to sign (electronic approval) when you push "submit button" on the online website. Notes: the submit button will not appear if all required documents have not been uploaded.

Regarding bank statement, I use internet banking, so I only download PDF file of monthly statement from my bank website then upload it to online application website.

So, practically, we only scan passports, acceptance letter from the university, married certificates, and IMM5713E form (Family Member Representation form; I need to sign and list all my children on this document since I applied to open work permit and my children applied for open study permit together with my wife's application).

Yes, you can attach it on your letter of explanation. My wife did it with her references. It was not required to attach a reference, but we think that it will good to explain that she have some experience in the program she taken and attached supporting reference from her employer. You should create a story that relate to your supporting documents.

tomsware said:

No, don't print the form. If you upload a scanned form, you will get an error. The system will recognize the form to capture the contents. If you scan a document, it become a picture, hence the system can not do the recognizing. You will no need to sign the form, the system will ask a digital sign when you click submit button (it will be appeared after you upload all required documents).

tomsware said:

Yes, other forms should be printed and signed before uploaded to the website. In our case, we don't print family information form, we only fill it using adobe reader and save as pdf, then just upload it to the system without sign it. But, the family representation form must be printed and signed before uploaded to the system. You may not require the family representation form if there is no wife or children accompany you.

We take a digital photographs, so we upload as jpeg files.

In my country, applicants normally attended an interview. But, I saw that interview was only for some cases in India.
