hi
GROUSI
i know it will sound a bit nasty, bit the truth is if u r from a country like mine where many people immigrate illegally & as a result many people get rejected for student visa based on the CHC's assumption (not based on fact) that the student visa APPLICANT WONT COME BACK TO HIS/ HER HOME COUNTRY.
as u said that u already know about the dual intent, then u know that u will have to show as much ties as possible to convince the visa officer that u will come back like on going business, bought property, spouse-kids-old parents & the list goes on.
i don't know what u mentioned in ur application for PR, like did u show that u have any relative in Canada to claim points for adaptability or any ties with Canada, then it is a near impossible task to get the student visa approved by CHC as i think, they store ur file for PR & when they input any data from ur student visa application, the info from ur PR applicaton might show up. but i am not sure if they actually cross check with any of ur exixting application.
the summary is u won't know until u apply for the student visa as all the info i said is hypothetical & it might turn up that ur student visa application may b successful. if i were u, i would wait until the PR visa is approved (which i don't think will be decided b4 September).
good luck...

Hey Guys, I think i might be needing some suggestions from this forum
I submitted my application in January 2010 to london, up till now its still receeived by visa office.
I want to start my degree in Canada this september. I thought i would be through with this application before then.
So now i am seriously doubting if anything would happen before september when my course starts so I am thinking of applying for a students visa.
Issue now is how do i convince the VO that i will come back. I know all about the dual intent thing, but this PR application makes it very dicy.
Any thoughts folks...??
