    STUDY PERMIT DENIED

    Did the first or the second study permit extension application was filed after your existing study permit expired? If you are out of status at the time of applying for an extension, CIC will reject the application. At that point, you have to apply for restoration of status instead of an...

    Full time work

    you should be able to work full time during school breaks. I dont think there is a limit to define full time hours. If you want to hear it from the horse's mouth, better all CIC and confirm with them.

    Should I avoid telling visa officer that I have an aunt in Canada?

    Like someone already mentioned, you don't have to lie if you can satisfy the visa officer that you are a genuine student and you have employment prospects in your home country after your study.

    I assume by TRV you mean the visa sticker in your passport and study permit is a piece of paper with an expiry date on it. when does your study permit expire? Are you planning on returning to Canada before that date?

    PR after Private College

    Why risk it: to some its worth the risk. Some of the "students" get visa's after barely passing their exams in their home countries. so they accept the fact that they are not going to get the grades in Canada, specially when they have to work part time as well. so private colleges offer an...

    Passports To/From CPC-OTTAWA November/December 2017 and Landing Experiences

    I wonder why CIC requests not to fill out the from section on the return envelope? do they fill it out themselves before they mail it? If not, what if you return envelope cannot be delivered to your address for whatever reason (e.g. you filled out your address incorrectly in excitement). If...

    Where did you submit them? Ottawa or local VO? If Ottawa, they dont notify. You just have to keep checking the return tracker. If local VO using VFS, then VFS should email/ text when your passports are ready for pickup.

    I believe the dependant would then be considered ineligible and not granted a visa. The other applicants should continue processing as long as their requirements are met.
