Hi there,
I have been accepted to the Technical Communication program in Seneca College for May 2020 intake. Right now, my study permit is still pending approval--I submitted it over a month ago. Because of the COVID-19 lockdown in my country (Philippines), the processing might take longer (knock on wood).
PM Trudeau also ordered an indefinite ban on foreigners. I contacted Seneca regarding this. They said they would still pursue with the original schedule (it's possible that the ban may be lifted before May). However, if the ban still stays, they are considering remote classes.
My question is this:
1. Suppose there is still no feedback on my application beyond the first day of class, could I still begin pursue the program remotely (since you don't need a study visa when you're physically not in Canada)?
2. Just in case my already lodged study permit gets denied (knock on wood), is it safe to reapply? Is there a chance approval would be guaranteed by that time?
Thank you very much in advance!
