While the COVID-19 pandemic has presented a number of challenges world-wide, Canada’s whole-of-government approach is aimed at protecting the health of Canadians while minimizing the economic and social impact of restrictions. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has implemented a temporary two-stage process to provide an update to international students who have not yet been able to provide all the required documents or information needed to have their application fully assessed in time for the fall semester.



You are receiving this notification as an officer has reviewed the information and documents you provided to support your study permit application. Based on this preliminary eligibility assessment, your application has advanced to the next stage of processing.



Additional information and documentation may be required in order to continue processing your application. If we previously requested that you complete biometrics and/or a medical examination and submit a police certificate, please do so as soon as you are able to. If you have not received a request from us for additional information or documents, please await further instructions.



Once we have received all requested information and documents, we will complete our assessment of your application and we will inform you of the final decision (approved or refused) made on your application.



While you await a final decision on your application you may commence your studies online.



If you are a representative who has received this notification, please ensure to advise your client(s) of this important information.





Thank you,



Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

You may check the start of the thread I have provided my timeline. I applied in January 2020 but due to Covid 19 it was put on stop till last week when I received an email
Let me hope i will get updates sooner. But i am gonna send them an email requesting updates on my app
 
I had sent them an email last week regarding this and had asked If this is an AIP or what ... they still haven't replied on it..

The fact that the email states that we may commence online studies as we await final decision seems like an AIP but I am also confused.

s a facilitation measure to support the fall 2020 intake of international students, the department is implementing a temporary 2-stage assessment process in which applicants will receive a notification from IRCC once they have passed the preliminary eligibility assessment (stage 1 of the 2-stage process) but before they give their biometrics.



There is no guarantee that the study permit application will be approved. For example, applicants who pass the preliminary eligibility assessment may still be refused based on eligibility reasons once biometrics are collected. Once services begin to resume, applicants who are able to submit missing information or documents previously requested of them will begin to do so, at which time the application will move into the second stage of processing and officers will process the application to finalization.

Eligibility for 2-stage assessment process
To be eligible for this 2-stage assessment process, applicants must have submitted a new study permit application electronically on or before September 15, 2020, and their program of study must begin in the fall 2020 (or earlier). The applicant must also submit all the documents needed in order for an officer to make a preliminary eligibility assessment. If the client is unable to provide any of the required documents, they will not be eligible to receive a preliminary eligibility assessment until they submit the information or documents requested of them (with the exception of biometrics, medical examinations and police certificates).

Applicants who receive a positive preliminary eligibility assessment will receive a letter in their MyAccount.

What we have is a notification not AIP from the above information from IRCC

So I think we have to wait for a letter in our account I guess.

Bro this is AIP because this line confirms it,
If the client is unable to provide any of the required documents, they will not be eligible to receive a preliminary eligibility assessment until they submit the information or documents requested of them (with the exception of biometrics, medical examinations and police certificates).
This means that the one you received is the AIP (which is the stage one of the approval steps).I think this preliminary eligibility assessment itself is AIP.
Your visa might get rejected based on the other documents. ie Police Certificate(if required) and medical.
