My application got rejected because my letter of acceptance from my post secondary was 8 months ago and they wanted an updated one. However, my post secondary doesn’t give out updated letter of acceptance frequently and they are currently on holiday.

i contacted my post secondary once and they had told me that they are currently on holiday and my post secondary doesn’t give out updated letter of acceptance in the middle of the year so if i want an updated letter of acceptance i need to wait until summer but i really need the study permit as soon as possible

The letter of acceptance that i submitted was issued on april 3rd which is 8 months before i submitted my application. (this was my third application)

so my question is, is there anyway they might reconsider my application since i have no possible way to get an updated letter of acceptance any time soon…

You can try submitting reconsideration via web form and see what happens. Include the email from the school saying they don't issue acceptance letters in the middle of the year.

i called them so i don’t have an email for proof..
I would try to get an email if you can. If not, then you'll need to try submitting the reconsideration request without this.

Think the biggest issues is date of LOA and application was 8 months after issue of LOA. That is an extremely long time. When are you trying to start studying? Most schools would issue a new LOA if the start date is probably a whole year later. You are at minimum likely looking at a Summer start date given there will be little movement of applications during the holidays. The fact that you have 2 refusals already doesn’t help.

I am currently studying at the post secondary and have already paid my tuition for the first year. (i have finished my 1 semester and is currently on winter break) The 2 refusal was because i didn’t add a pal document for the first one the second one they didn’t think i could pay my tuition.

Are you attempting to change schools?

Strange that they are demanding LOA when confirmation of enrolment & attendance would be much more relevant. If anything I would be asking the school for that or/and including my transcripts.
i got a message from them saying that i have to reapply and can’t get a reconsideration on my application. But when in my post secondary i don’t see a way of getting an updated letter of acceptance. Instead i see a proof of enrolment. Is the letter of acceptance and proof of enrolment the same?

Not the same but given you are currently studying it is puzzling why LOA and not proof of enrolment and attendance plus transcript if available would not provide better proof of studies than the LOA especially if you had started your studies as specifies in your LOA. Personally would include all the info I specified. Your school should be happy to confirm enrolment and attendance in a specified program. If you have already started studying I can understand why they don’t want to issue a new LOA.

What do you mean by your 3rd application? Did you apply for an extension 3 times?
