biometric is done immediately after u submit ur visa application at the visa application center, while medical can be upfront(before the embassy request) and can be on request of embassy

IELTS or any English Language test is not the requirement for study permit however it is required by learning institution . Many people had flew to Canada without IELTS/TOEFL even for PHD

I have seen cases where IELTS was one of rejection reasons but I am not saying they reject all the applications without IELTS , my points is we should play safe when its about our future plans .We know rejection rate is already hiking for any kind of visas from Pak due to prevailing countries situation therefore its on our part to satisfy CHC as much as we can and IELTS is definitely going to add some value.

hello bro, actually the minimum time for visa processing is 11 weeks for pakistan, but it usually takes more time. So i think u r a bit late. Secondly, i have applied paper based bcuz u can send additional documents in support of ur application. Finally u have to submit original degree or original scan copy even for online application.

 

[fakamal]

Hello Shahbaz,

I can send orignal scanned copy, I donot want to submit orignal degree cuz applying for US also simultaneously.

can any one confirm that scanned copies or all orignal documents is sufficient for online application??

 

[SHAHABZ]

Hello Shahbaz,

I can send orignal scanned copy, I donot want to submit orignal degree cuz applying for US also simultaneously.
