I think Help Centre only lists few questions. I am not sure whether I can post one.Have you tried the student permit forum?
This is the Express Entry section.
Also, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/student.asp
And just to clarify, even for online applications, I have to go to VFS only to give biometrics..right?
And do you have any idea how much time they take to process study permit applications? This link says it just takes 2 weeks for Japan. is it so?
Thanks so much man.
