New Policy for International Students - April 12th, 2021

[Frisk]

it may still be open for a few days.. i think today's people are done.

Some people leave work at 5-6pm, some are waiting for documents and IELTS...I think around 6 we'll get another spike of applicants and by Sunday I'm pretty sure the student stream will either be closed or close to the 40k cap.

I'm sure following up the stream processing will be very useful

Yes, unfortunately I believe you are right.

SAME. I had two perfectly cropped jpegs but I panicked when I saw I could just upload one document (everything hinted we'd be able to upload documents separately) and uploaded the scanned PDF in 600dpi as it was.

To be fair, they just asked for the photo to be taken in the right format and scanned it for online application. But this gonna kept me nervous for a while tbh

Do I need to fill family info form for children under 18 that are already Canadian citizen?

If the payment was successful, they will send you an email with the receipt attached.

Reviewing my application after submitting and realized I left Section B on IMM 5406 (Family Information) blank as I have no kids. Also noticed they said to write "Not applicable" if a section doesn't apply. Does anyone think this would be an issue? I did fill out everything else for parents and sister though

They're not gonna reject your application because of not writing "NOT APPLICABLE" looool
I was going through my old student visa application yesterday and realized I had made a lot of silly mistakes in that form but still got my visa on time!

It's usually pretty quick. Check you CC transactions and see if they've charged you. Maybe the payment didn't go through!

Can i use the bank receipt that confirms i have paid? or will IRCC send me another receipt?

They ask us to write 'not applicable' to confirm that the documents you submitted are fully completed and to make sure you didn't accidentally leave the space blank. According to IRCC, they may reject your application if they deem it is incomplete. But don't take my word for it.
