Great, good luck! Will leave a comment here once a decision is made for my application.
20 weeks is a long time to wait

 

[Sabbir Ismail]

Same here. I ran some research. Their academic committee sits in every two months. Admission committee is a part of Academic Committee. We might need to wait till Mid February to get a decision.

That sounds cheering, let's see.

Have you told them to keep your review going and you will submit your new result within a time frame? But yes minimum requirements are 6.5 in all bands.

Yes I did tell them that I will submit the new result next month. They have forwarded my application to the international admission though Let’s see what happens.
Did you get any update on your application?

 

[Sabbir Ismail]

No I haven't got any update yet. It's been a month already and they might take another month to come with a decision. I am guessing they will give a decision at mid February. Have you submitted WES report along with your application? This might help save some time from evaluation.

I haven’t yet. Honestly I haven’t even thought about that. I guess I need to submit it soon.

Did you pay extra fees to do credential evaluation? I tell everyone to do credential evaluation first and then apply in universities as this will give you clarity about your degree status in Canada and your grade in Canadian standard.
