Word of advice; at master's level, the ranking and reputation/standard of the University as well as the program really matter to the employers, so aim for a good ranking university and program.

I have a really messed up case. So ill just skip it. I applied on 22nd July. Got medical and passport request at the same time on 22nd September. Got medical done on Oct 4th since they didnt have any open slots before that in my city. Submitted my passport on Oct 5th and got it back yesterday. I...

Hey Wollyking, I got my passport back yesterday, but I am planning to wait until next Fall to enter Canada because it is useless now and I really want to go to Queen's in the program that I was enrolled into. When are you leaving? Or you are there already? :)

Thank you. So are you thinking of pursuing lakehead's degree beginning in winter, or will you wait until next Fall? Btw, I wanted to ask you whether immigration officer at port of entry will get suspicious if I try to enter Canada in April while my program will start in Fall? I just want to know...

Nothing for me yet. I will inform my administrator today that I am ready to lose my admission and reapply for Fall 2017.

Hey congratulations! Glad to hear some good news. It gives hope to all of us still playing the waiting game. Please pray for the rest of us too. And you get ready to fly soon and begin your studies, inshAllah.

It's my first time as well for online application from outside of Canada. I have always done paper from Pakistan. And online has always worked out for me from inside Canada. And even from Pakistan on paper application, I have always received a decision within 30 calendar days. So we are kind of...

Fall ofcourse. That is when majority of the programs begin.

Do any of you have an idea if this happened before, like maybe last year? Or only we are the victims? Btw, I have a cousin living in the US on medical residency or whatever, she went through the same situation. US's online visa system went through some technical problem which lasted for 4-5...

They must be. And they are understaffed and overwhelmed as well. It was stupid of them to move temporary resident visa applications from Pakistan to Abu dhabi. Everything was working fine until last year when they hadn't moved. Anyway, I am enrolled in Master of Public Administration so School...

Call IRCC on 1-888-242-2100 from inside Canada or on +1 613 944 4000 from outside Canada. Get to an agent by going through the menu. It takes a while so be patient and listen to the menu carefully. When you get to a call centre agent, ask him/her about your situation. I do not want to misguide...

They are all useless I swear. I already have a study permit. I just needed a trv to re-enter Canada. My Master's admission will be revoked next week and I'd have to reapply for Fall 2017. It is so stressfull to wait for another year. The only leverage Queen's gave me is that for re-application...

That is so unfair and inconsiderate, I cannot believe it. We are about to lose our admissions and they don't care!

Any news? Anyone?

I applied on July 22nd. Nothing yet.

Study permit stays valid for another 90 days after graduating, so you can re-enter Canada and attend your convocation. Explain that to the officer at port of entry. You still have a valid status.

I hope so too, let's see. And I graduated in June 2013.

Well if your tourist visa expires during processing of your study permit application, you can still stay in Canada on implied status. And if you are issued a study permit, then that's your legal status to remain in Canada.

Sorry VictorEze, I only have experience with universities in Ontario. I wanted to apply to Manitoba because of their lower tuition fee but I wanted to stay in Ontario, closer to Toronto especially, where I have lived for several years. And for OINP as well, to be honest. Also, my Professors at...

That worries me as well @ OINP, because it is still a pilot program and they could get rid of it at any time. I hope it stays until 2018/2019. That's when I'll be graduating now, hopefully. And honestly, I had the same respect for liberals prior to my current experience with IRCC, which is now...
