Hi All - Got my VISA yesterday (5th of December 2013) and below are some details.
I did not receive any approval email and got only the passport dispatched email on 4th of December. Received the passport on 5th and yeah !!! the VISA was stamped.
For those who would ask.... here you go!!
My profile,
10th - 47% - 2003 (I know the score sucks and you must be thinking that I sucked at studies but hey.... I got my VISA - Kidding, I was a good student but I couldn't score good during my studies due to various reasons that were explained in the SOP)
12th - 61.20% - 2005
Grad (BBA) - 2010 (wasted a couple of years due to change in course and illness resulting in failure to attend the exam)
Experience - 3 years at Thomson Reuters as a Senior Process Associate in Hyderabad.
Attached all the necessary forms GIC, Pre-Medicals, 10th, 12th and Grad mark-sheets and Degree along with service letter from Thomson Reuters with a strong SOP (Which I don't think should be shared since this is something that should be as original as possible and should defer from an individual to another).
The course that I had selected was Global Business Management @ Centennial College (Toronto).
Applied through VFS Hyderabad on 25th November and received my passport on 5th of December with the maple leaf stamped.
PS - I did not get any approval email from the Canadian High Commission and just got the passport dispatched message on 4th of December."
Hope we have recent experience.
