Assalam o Alaikum and hello eveeryone,
It is an immense pleasure to inform you all that I have received my visa yesterday. I hope you all remember that I applied for fall intake but due to long processing time my institute has deferred it to January 2016. Therefore, I will be going to Canada next month. I would like to share my experience hoping it could be beneficial to some other student. I submitted my application on 02/06/2015, according to normal processing time I should have received my passport after 24/04/2015 as it completes 12 weeks, but I received it yesterday on 07/09/2015 and this took more than three months although I submitted my application with upfront medical but it was not that much favorable because I thought it would speed up my process but it didn't. I even received medical call on 16/08/2015 from high commission and that was the worst part I had to face in this whole procedure, thousand and one thoughts burst into my mind like did they receive my medical or is there anything wrong with medical and all but after confirming from IOM I finally managed to gather some information, IOM representative said they might have overlooked your eMedical sheet and then they gave me UMI # and advised me to share it with high commission. So if anything happens like this just call IOM and just directly ask them to give you your UMI #. I would also like to share my application package which was:
Letter of acceptance
Document checklist
Seat Deposit payment receipt
IELTS original result
other verified and attested academic transcripts and result sheets
Father's bank account statement
Father's business information on company's letterhead
Affidavit of financial support
Valuation of properties
Taxpayer certificate
Character Certificate (Police clearance certificate)
Family registration certificate
Translation of documents (notary public stamped)
Statement of purpose
eMedical sheet (Upfront medical)
So that's all guys I wish you all good luck for your future.
Jazak'Allah
