Afridi: don't write or fax to them yourself, but get your university to fax them a letter. You may have to draft it for them. When I spoke to my university, they said they will send the letter but that I should write it for them. Make it nice and official and try to get the Chair of your department to sign it.

Also, I went to Gerry's FedEx in Islamabad yesterday to ask them if they knew anything. They said the Embassy is running its own security checks on people and that's what's delaying things. I suspect something like that is going on for most people with delays.

Yeah, I drafted a letter and had the Graduate Program Chair at my department sign it. Since I've gotten the medical call I've now asked them to hold off on sending that as I don't want to pester the CHC. But I might ask them to send the letter if there are any further delays.

I wrote the letter to be very concise but direct. Bureaucratic letters should be as brief as possible -- nobody at the CHC is going to want to read some long story. Basically I just made it clear that university has given me a TA-ship, RA-ship and accommodation.

I just wrote to my Graduate Program Secretary and explained the situation to her, and she just told me to write the letter and had it signed by the Chair. You should just look up your department's website and you should be able to find all the info you need.

@se7en:

Well, I have a lot of experience now with writing official/bureaucratic letters. When this is all over, I will probably set up a blog on applying for Canadian student visas and put up templates and such things there.

Being able to write flawless English also helps. The CHC has so far replied to every single e-mail I've ever sent them (even before I started this Study Permit application), and I think one of the main reasons for that is that I write well and I know how to write this sort of official-sounding stuff. It takes some practice to get it right.

Hello.. According to my suggestion don't mail to embassy for your process. It will show your intention for getting the visa only . It shows your intensity to CHC. Just wait for reply. I think god is with u and believe me everything will be perfectly fine. So Pls don't mail or fax to embassy. Let them do their work .
