A question to all those who've already received their student permits:
I checked my GCKey today and even though I received my PPR a month ago, I saw that I still need to submit a form called IMM 5257. Is anyone else also seeing this? If yes, are you submitting it despite having your visa or are you ignoring it?
Here's a screenshot.

Thank you so much @Geet7 as always!!
You are absolutely right! That's exactly how we feel - ready to to take some time to prepare well for our second application.We are now waiting for a reply from my university, quite nerve-wracking I must say, as I am not so sure if they can grant me a deferral for September 2023, but we'll see. Yes, we ordered GCMS notes from both IRCC and CBSA. Our only concern now is that we ordered them week 16 and got the decision week 18, so we are worried that they would come sort of empty as the IRCC officers might have done their notes somewhere between week 16-18. So, if that's the case, we'll have to re-order and wait for another round of 1-2 months I guess.
Thank you for your suggestion and detailed information about Finland! We'll definitely look into that even if out of sheer curiosity because it seems interesting! To tell you the truth, I really do have a specific academic reason for going to Canada and specifically to the university I have chosen. That's why I am so worried now about their deferral options because I really want this university. However, we might have not looked into other options and your idea broadens our outlook a bit, so thanks a lot for that! And oh my, I wish Canada was a bit more sympathetic to its international students and change their paradoxical "we want you, but on a condition" policy
Yes, absolutely, thank you again for offering your help! We really appreciate it a lot and once we receive our notes and know the detailed reasons I'll have more insights to share and questions to ask!

Oh, wow!
Thank you so much for your kind and so so inspiring words! The way I read your post is like a mirror reflecting inspiration and motivation back to me, it gives me energy to move this thing forward! And so we'll do! Thank you so much for your wishes! What a support! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Yeah, I was also wondering whether that was a good idea to re-apply without knowing the exact reason of a refusal..
