Congrats Ash,

I am not sure if there are any international flights landing in Ottawa directly, so you will be probably landing in Toronto as I did during my study Visa and all the formalities are completed over there.
Few of my friends landed in Montreal also during study visa entry. Confirm it while buying your ticket.

Thanks John,
I am currently looking for flights via Toronto with a layover of about 3hrs for the formalities and then an onward flight to Ottawa.

Hello,

While what you mention is correct, it is also true that many people utilize their paid leaves during this time. For instance at my workplace in Toronto, majority of my colleagues have taken vacation offs from 28-30 Dec. Which gives them almost 10~12 days off work. So, I wouldn't expect much to move before 3rd Jan.

Hope it helps!

Double check if you have not missed any documents to upload especially related to work, Medical checkup, PCC or educational certificates or degrees

Your BKG check shows Not Started means that your app is probably going through R10, A11.2 and Eligibility checks at CIO and when your BKG status changes to Not Needed then your app will be transferred to Local visa office.
