A pandemic is happening and only skeleton staff is processing study permits. Defer admission until the fall.

What's happening? Seriously? Well, there happens to be a pesky little pandemic killing hundreds of thousands of people that has essentially brought most of the world to a standstill...

its not about that, it's the uncertainty. i don't care if it's an approval or not just want the decision if it's negative then i should know about it sooner so i can start my program here in a local university. the wait is frustrating is all i meant to say.

at lease you're getting mails. anyway so what you can do is upload your new LOA in gc key status page although i didn't do it. someone here told me not to since they will automatically readdress it as a fall semester application.

I haven't update my LOA but I sent my new LOA via mails to both Canadian high commission in india and immigration office at Ottawa. Although I don't what's gonna happen.

not really, technically no one can tell you for sure here but it's also logical to upload your new LOA there. i haven't because mine was already valid till 2021.

But LOA should be specific about a particular intake i couldn't get you about your LOA validity.
Can you explain more ?

some universities provide you LOA's that are valid for more than one upcoming semesters such as mine and it was mentioned in my LOA. my university even mailed me about how I won't be needing a new LOA since it's valid for winter 2021.
