Hi Guys
I have got scholarship and grant for PhD in Calgary university in Canada. i got the offer letter on 20 April 2016 and i submitted my Visa application online on 2 May 2016 and i provided all required documents. During the first week i got 3 notification from CIC portal. they asked for Medical Check up and i did it the next day. then they asked for my biometric to be taken and did that the next day as well. and finally they asked for Police Certificate which i had it already and submitted it the same day. ever since i have not heard anything from them. it has been 3 months and no body contacted me. the status of my application still; Open. and the final decision status is: Not Started Yet. i have tried to call the High Commission in Singapore where they are processing my application but they use Auto Machine. I tried to Email them but they never reply. i was advised to report technical issue through the portal as this might bug them. but they also did not reply. and finally i did what so called: Web Form via the portal and again i was totally neglected. the Semester is going to start September the First and my scholarship is conditional upon my enrollment on September and i feel so frustrated as i feel there is nothing i can do. in fact i am Syrian i work in big company in Malaysia. i did expect that my application will take longer than usual due to my nationality but this is too much. waiting is really tough and i worked so hard to get the scholarship and now i feel like my dream to do PhD is falling apart.
Any advice ? is there anything i can do please ?
thanks in Advance.
