My college is Conestoga-Guelph campus. I dropped 3-4 emails to college and they suggested to speak with respective professors about my situation. Awaiting for professors list to be displayed
yeah i understand even my student service advisors took a whole day to figure out the 'once-in-a-blue-moon-distressed-international-student-query'

POE and Counterfoil updated. Took exactly 24 hours for the POE to update after Counterfoil. Passport on the way back. Things are looking clear a head.

What are your opinions on me booking flight ticket now considering the fact that the rate is skyrocketing day by day?

Your classes are in person? If not then I would recommend you to wait and fly mid September. I can't digest the fact that just two years back, I booked one way ticket to Canada for 30k.

Mine is online however if I could reach there before 17th Sep I could change my course to in-person option I believe. In a way online classes are not worth the money, So I am not feeling to attend a whole Semester online.

Over that there are signs of a third wave happening soon in India. So if that happens then almost every option there is now might get closed, which will be a big disaster, at least for me. Which are the reasons why I am planning to gtfo here soon.

I am in the same boat and planning to leave asap. I think you might still find some reasonable flights now but never know later. I'd say book now or wait till Sep 21. My passport is still under processing but I went ahead and booked anyway. Good luck.

Hi guys!

I have a question and hope you'll answer. I was wondering if I were to go to Canada on a student visa by December (while my profile is already in the pool waiting for an ITA) and during the studies if I were to receive PR would I still have to pay international student fees?

Thank you.
