Canada has become the second-greatest source of international students in Canada Since 2008, international students from India have increased from 3,501 to 12,188 - a four-fold increase in just two years. Can't stop accounting it high uncertainity prevailing US Visas and PSW ban in UK.
I've met many students with Admission dates were fast approaching at my Medicals Test. No wonder CHC would be in pressure to give out a decision on those applications before the courses commence in Canada for May intake. There are normally three intakes Jan, May, Sep
I'm on the same thought as others who feel NDVO is tied up with Student Applications. "Medicals Received" and "RPRF encashment" are the responsibilities of other departments and so they have shown up pretty quick. Now the wait is for the Visa Officer to find time to give a Final Decision.
Once the Visa Officers are relieved off Students whose Joining dates fall in May, they will all be ours. Lets hope some goooood news in the weeks ending 12th May or 19h May for all of us...
