Hello I am a Pakistani but currently based in Tanzania on a work permit.

I have some guidance to seek.

I applied for student visa on 18th April from VAC Tanzania on paper along with Biometric and original passports. I linked my application and it shows it is still under review. Yesterday I got an email from Canadian immigration Tanzania that the application is under review for eligibility and background check.

I am not getting positive vibes, thus in case of rejection, can I apply online through Canadian immigration in Pakistan?

I know reapplying will be totally based on denial reason but would you recommend me coming to Pak and reapply?

Note: I also applied for spouse open work permit and kids student visa.

Every application is unique , sometimes long time is consumed in background check but if one applied without upfront medical , he should hear from ircc after 2 to 3 weeks .

I am from going to apply for a study permit from Pakistan soon. In the documents sections for student visa made from Pakistan, "family information form [imm5707]" was given. The form says "include ALL family members even if they are not accompanying you. If additional space is required, print and attach an additional form".However, the form only mentions about applicant, spouse, parents and children. Am i supposed to print and attach an additional form mentioning my brother and sister or is their information not needed.
