Hi All,

I am happy I found this page. Please don't take it the wrong way but I am a little relieved I found people in the same situation as me. I am also waiting.

I first applied 3rd May 2019 but was denied on the 13th June 2019. The reason I was given was based on Purpose of visit. I applied for CGMS notes and it read: "Her purpose of study appears vague and poorly documented". I then re-applied on the 22nd of July. I am still waiting.

My disappointment was that I had visited Canada thrice in the past. In fact, I was on my 4th visit to Canada (to return to my country the next day 14th of June) when I received the denial. I never expected I would be denied. The irony was even that I had just I re-applied for my third visitors visa in March 2019 and it was renewed till April 2024. So, now I have a visitors visa but no study permit-very frustrating.

Another confusion is that I have already enrolled for classes-I did so during my last visit in June to Canada. Unfortunately when I contacted my school about possible deferral, I was told University of Ottawa does not defer admissions. I would need to reject this admission and re-apply for admission if I don't start this September.

CIC this is not fair.

Hello everyone...I am glad to share with you guys that I finally received passport request on august 30th. Submitted passport for stamping yesterday at vfs delhi.

My timeline is as follows:

25th june : Applied online ( SDS category )
27th june : Got letter for biometric enrolment
2nd july : Gave biometrics ( They got updated the same day )
16th july : Medical updated
17th july : Ghost update 1
22nd july : Biometric tab got updated as " July 2, Biometrics completed"
Then until 21st august no updates were there. In between i sent 4 webforms, got response only once on 21st august. The message said that they have looked into my query and they have notified concerned office. And on 21st itself, my eligibility review started.
27th august : Ghost update 2
30th august : Around 7:30 pm received correspondence letter..then after a few seconds received original passport request.

My file was processed in CPC Edmonton

Those who are waiting, please don't loose hope. I will pray for all of you. This wait was agonising, but in the end it was fruitful.
How do u know its its processed in edmonton and what is ghost update ?
