I used a consultant because I can. Yes for me a consultant makes a difference in getting a second opinion on my application and I know that IRCC makes it simple but I have my preference.
Hey just a suggestion, you should order your GCMS notes, I have read in this same forum that persons use that to see whether their application has been processed.
Update with my study permit application. My consultant submitted an update via the web form and in the assessment from the embassy, I am now being recommended to do an interview. Wow, now I may have to prepare myself for an interview.
