Hi, I need urgent help!

Last month I received a withdrawal on my application due to the lack of the Provincial Attestation Letter, that was a mistake since I'll be pursuing a Master in Environment and Geography at the U of Manitoba. I filled out the webform on March 26th asking for reconsideration. On April 5th I received an email saying: "We verified the information you provided regarding your study permit application and have forwarded it to the responsible office. They will contact you if further information is required or if a decision is made on your application."

It's been a while and there are no responses yet, I don't know what else I should do, who to speak with, or how much time I should wait. This is getting on my nerves! I would appreciate any comment or information. I'm applying for Fall entry.

Also, the embassy in Bogota does not give any guidance and the Visa Office is not accepting any inquiries :C

So your reconsideration request was sent to the office. Nothing you can do as it was only sent to the office around 16 days ago. You have lots of time.

Today I also received similar letter saying I would need PAL, though I applied for MBA program(UCW).
Don't know what to do, I'm freaking out rn

Maybe because it is UCW, a private school just for international students. Talk to UCW. Even though UCW says you don’t need PAL, maybe government thinks otherwise.

Hi, I have the same situation. Already filed an appeal on their webform.
Have you received any further responses from IRCC?
