Dear Sir/Madam,
This is in response to your recent enquiry to the Immigration Section of the Consulate General of Canada in Bengaluru.
Your application is in process and is proceeding normally.
We have received a large number of study permit applications from students wanting to start their studies in Canada at the same time as you. We are processing the applications as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and ask that you only contact our office ONLY if there is a change in:
• Your mailing address, e-mail address, or phone number
• Your passport
• Other NEW information relevant to your application (for example you want to withdraw your application, or you want to add /revoke a representative)
• Send information once, using one method only (MyCIC or the Web form or the IRCC website or e-mail or mail). We know you want to be sure we receive it, but sending us the same information multiple times pulls resources away from file processing
• Send all attachments (for example: new passport information) in PDF format for faster processing
• Be patient. We don’t want to miss any of the information you have provided. Your application is in queue for processing and we will contact you if we need any additional information
Case status enquiries pull resources away from file processing, resulting in longer processing times.
While your application is processing, you may wish to review
· Information on working in Canada while you study,
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work.asp
· Canadian tourism information for possible travel during study breaks
https://www.canada.travel/
Please be assured that we will continue to process your application and actively monitor its status. We will contact you if we require any additional information, and when we have reached a decision on your application.
We trust this information will be of assistance.
Sincerely,
Client Service Unit, Immigration
