Yes.

Unfortunately not. This will likely be only seen as another desperate attempt for an easy entry into Canada. You will need to stand your ground about the DLI and course you originally applied for a study permit with.

Not necessarily. Also, it depends on the document you are replacing. Oftentimes, they just tell you that they confirm the reception of your document and that is it. What they allow you to see is just a brief glimpse of what happens internally.

Does your brother's DLI have an approved COVID-readiness plan?

I think that is perfectly fine as long as you will still be eligible for the visa when you re-apply. I would inform the IRCC via a web forum before embarking on that though.

My best guess would be that the "discretionary group" is the "first phase" decision maker in approving/disapproving a traveler's entry where they do some basic checking, like whether you have a valid visa or not, etc.. and it's either affiliated with the CBSA or the IRCC. The second phase is at...

I think this would be applicable only within Pakistan and what really matters to the border officers are the documents that you originally applied with. For example, I had a one-month validity document which was already "expired" by the time my application started to be processed and things were...

Don't think so. Just take all the documents that you applied with and keep hard copies of each one.

This is why you always hear that you have to convince a visa officer to accept your visa application, and not only show them that you are eligible.

According to the IRCC, if the start date of your new program/deferred enrolment is 180 days far from the one you used in your study permit application, then you should contact them by a web form. Otherwise, it doesn't matter.

They don't care about a program change - take it from me. Just make sure to have both your old & new acceptance letters in case the CBSA officer asks to see them. Also make sure to make hard copies of all your documents just to be safe.

I called them to confirm this as well and a CBSA representative told me that 28 days is the maximum time period before the start of your studies and if your travel date exceeds it, then you should contact the IRCC for permission and this still wouldn't even guarantee that the CBSA officer will...

I think using the web-form within the page can speed things up. An email can take a while.

When did you contact them?

I searched for that and could find no official statement about it. However, my university recommended that students should arrive no earlier than 4 weeks before the start of their studies, but if you want to arrive early, it has to make sense to the CBSA officer that you have a reason as to why...

Had a look at my GCMS notes, and it was actually 3 days, not 1 :p I submitted it on 8/9/2020 and the AIP was issued on 11/9/2020, but the sequence of the notes signifies a connection between the submission of my IELTS report and the AIP. If he applied with a consultant, he should now realize...

My GCMS notes showed that the my IELTS test report was recorded, and one day later, my first stage eligibility was approved and then I received an AIP letter via email. I think he cannot apply under the SDS category if he does not live in India, can he? If his application was SDS, then his IELTS...

I don't think that English proficiency is that much of a problem, although it might have a negligible contribution to a refusal. For example, I had an IELTS total score of 6 with one band as 5.5 and I submitted my IELTS test report via a web-form and it was not a problem whatsoever. In fact, I...

Hi Nadeem. I think doing so is a very bad idea as it may count as a misrepresentation which results in a 5-year ban from Canada which might be a very ugly stain on your international profile.

Where's the proof of that? Also, is this consistent throughout the year or only when you're traveling during breaks? I can't quite understand the relevance of grades in issuing the study permit. Does that mean if a student had poor grades they would be denied a SP and thus their visa would be...
