Did your friend get the correspondence letter as well? I have not received the correspondence letter despite giving my biometrics.I have not got AIP yet. I dont know why it took so long for them to process that since there are not many people applying to Canada from US for study permit. A lot of US citizens received AIP, but until now I have not seen any non-US citizens get AIP from US. I know a person applying at the same time with me and he has not got AIP despite of the fact that he already got GCMS note with approved final decision. Technically, they have to issue AIPs as long as this semester will conduct to online learning (I might wait until the end of this month to see).
