IRCC REQUEST LETTER FOR UPDATED LOA

[Farzana Adhora]

Hope you are all doing well.
I applied for a study permit on july for September intake 2023
Due to visa delay i missed the fall 2023 semester.
After almost 3 months IRCC started my eligibility review and On 26 october I received an email from IRCC requesting for my new LOA - deferral letter.
I provided it within the timeframe of IRCC. I submitted it on 11 november.
Now, in my Gc key, It is showing that " on 15 november, we are reviewing your additional document "

My questions are -
1. Is getting a LoA request from IRCC good sign of visa approval?
2. How long it may take to get the PPR decision as currently they are reviewing my additional documents.

Its almost 3.5 months since i applied for the Study permit.

It isn't a sign of approval but yeah, the visa officer is making progress on your application for sure, you should get a decision or at least some update by the end of this month
Good luck Farzana Adhora

you took 3+ weeks to submit the LOA so you have to deduct that. It’s unfortunate that you didn’t include or send in the updated LOA and only submitted it when IRCC asked for it. The whole process delayed your application.
