Are any applicants from PH who applied in Dec-22? What is your current status?

This is it! If you search hard enough you might find a similar candidate profile like yours from a different country who got approval for his whole family. IRCC does seem to have some criteria they don't publish!

Did you both apply for SDS or Non-SDS? Processing times are very different for both. IRCC likes to work in mysterious ways so you will have to keep an eye on your account and hope for the best.

When did you apply and where you applied from? There is no clear trend on the updates and is very random depending on which VO is reviewing your file.

Check below thread. They apparently don't transfer the dollar amount received but calculate based on its rupee value and use a lower exchange rate than the market. so you would always end up getting lesser amount than you paid. Yours seems on a higher end though. Double check with CIBC to be...

I can only say one thing. If you are right, they cant turn you down. Just reply with confidence on all the data you have. You can always go via the judicial route if they dismiss you unfairly. They have been overwhelmed with work so strong chances that this is all a mistake. I'm sorry this...

This is strange, they have the tools to verify the certificate's authenticity. I believe they must be checking them thoroughly before sending a note out to the applicant. If you believe you have taken IELTS from an authorized center and your TRF is genuine then you can confidently go back to...

I might just apply blindly as I cant afford to loose 30 more days and miss another intake. All the best !

I'm not sure if you meant what you wrote here. But overstaying your visa anywhere in the world is unacceptable. Especially if you let them know upfront about your intentions.

Definitely not UAE. Would give it a shot from home country. I am still thinking about the idea of applying as PH applicants. Not found a single one who has done it so far.

Applied 25th Dec 20 Review started - 20th April 21 Rejected - 27th April 21 NON SDS from UAE

No Guarantee to be honest. It totally depends on case to case. There are applicants who have got approved on their 4th or 5th try. You can fix few things like finances but if they made remarks on your poor academics then that is something difficult to fix. Same goes with home ties!

You would be surprised. I always say, the point they mention on the correspondence letter means nothing. Comments is what would give you a fair idea on the decision fact (this is if VO made efforts to write the details)

Not yet, they extended the timeframe by more 30 days (total 60 days to download a file). Purpose of visit is totally random, it can include questions about your course, funds, home ties, etc. There is nothing specific under this category. Its like a mystery box !

Got exactly the same comments after waiting for 4 months with addition of question about my immigration status. Apply for GCMS notes today ! They are delaying everything right now.

In fact, SDS is pretty straight forward in terms of documents. Every document has a individual upload field like transcripts, SDS, LOA, medical etc so chances of VO skipping important documents is minimal. Whereas in NON-SDS you put everything in client upload which is an optional field so they...

Absolutely. I don't think there is anything wrong either. Technically we are permanent residents of our country of citizenship and the question does not explicitly mention what options to choose so it is open to interpretation. Besides, PH candidates have been doing this for years and if any...

UAE recently announced the extension of ban till end of June and I feel this is going to get extended. I'm also constantly researching and reaching out people on different FB groups. I'm surprised Indians are not the first ones to use this hack ;-)

They apply SDS as well. Its is a grey area. Borders to India are not going to open anytime soon. I might just do it this way and see where fate takes. I h9onestly dont see the difference where people literally go for a week and come back. Clearly VO must know why they are here.

That's right. I believe this is the reasoning for that. It is a grey area to be honest as the question not not explicitly explain if your country of residence needs to be temporary or permanent. I will most likely apply that way as I don't think I can wait till end of June otherwise I will miss...
