Hi fellow applicants,

Here is my wife's student permit application timeline for reference -

Location of application - India
Program of choice - Less than 6 months (No medical exam required)

Applied - Feb 5, 2021 (Non-SDS)
Biometrics Request - Feb 7, 2021
Biometrics Submitted - Feb 9, 2021 (VFS - Chennai) (Opted for premium lounge service INR 3050/-)
Additional documents requested - April 9, 2021
Additional documents submitted - April 12, 2021
Passport Request - April 16, 2021

As mentioned above we just received verdict on her student permit. Next step would be to submit the passport to VFS and receive stamping from IRCC.

My question is specific to applicants who chose Premium Lounge service during the the biometric submission -

Is there a special way of approaching the passport submission compared to the normal method of submitting a webform for the passport pickup?

Also is there any tips/tricks involved in the passport submission process to receive the passport ASAP?

Hey, what additional documents were you asked to submit by IRCC?

Hey, what additional documents were you asked to submit by IRCC?

She was asked to submit -
1. Recent education's transcripts
2. Toefl/IELTS or language test results (Since it language test was not mandated, we wrote a letter of explanation for the exemption alongside a letter from college stating the same)

We wrote a really good letter of explanation covering all bases including answers covering common reasons for denial stated by other fellow applicants. I feel like that solidified our case.

1st application for Jan 2021 intake applied from UAE (Indian Resident) - 4 Nov 2020
1st Refusal - 16 Dec 2020

2nd application for May 2021 intake applied from UAE again- 22 feb 2021
2nd refusal - 22 Apr 2021

I am not deferring the program and will continue the classes for May 2021 intake. Parallely I will again apply from India. I am an employee of PSU bank in India and I am on sabbatical leaves of 2 years(to join my husband in Dubai) ending in Mar 2022 so I have to pursue an 8 months course only. Although if I get visa approval, I might leave my current job but what do you think..is there any chance of visa rejection? Following are the reasons mentioned for rejection:

•I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence. (my sister has recently completed her Masters in canada and is currently on work permit)
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your current employment situation.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your immigration status.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the limited employment prospects in your country of residence

Please help
