Hello,
I applied for Ph.D. program at TMU fully funded for winter intake 2023 with the below timeline from South Korea (Manila Office):
Application submission:13th September 2022
Biometric and Medical passed: 20th September
Eligibility Started: 18th Oct
Till now there is no update. I ordered GCMS notes and found that my criminality has been passed and security is "in-progress". For eligibility, it is written as "Review Required ". I see from another forum that "review required " is a red flag which means that the junior IRCC officer flagged the application for the senior officer to look closely at the application and made a final decision. So I am worried about it now.
In parallel, I applied to the University of Toronto for Ph.D. and got admission in December 2022 for Jan Intake 2023.
My initial plan was to go to Canada and Change DLI after one semester at TMU to UOT. Since there is no update on my application so I am confused right now. I think I have the following options.
1) Upload the UofT letter for changing DLI as it has more funding than TMU and is more reputed. And grad office told me that I can join the university even in March for winter intake if my visa is delayed.
2) Wait for this application result without changing anything, and if approved then change DLI after reaching there.
What should be more appropriate for me? Can you guys suggest any other option?
