Student Permit Approval from UAE

[BIG_T]

Mine is on it. I don’t know if you will hear back if yours isn’t on it. Letter is named correspondence letter but content is basically saying that my biometrics are enrolled and received, although my biometrics status was complete on my account since March. A bit confusing for me why this was sent now. Anyways it’s a step forward. Hopefully things will move now onwards.

You will receive a passport request within 24 hours

Let's hope, Eng123 and I are in the same boat

Well, I have an AIP if that counts, and I'm 42. All the documentation is complete including a very detailed SOP/LOI. My university isn't on the approved DLIs list with COVID readiness plan yet and probably that's why I haven't heard from IRCC.

that's great news! did your spouse also get his/her open work permit? and in how long did u receive the AIP?

I got my AIP on 5th September and so did my kids as I also applied for their SPs at the same time. No updates on my spouse's OPW application though.

No reason to be confused. What you receievd is a BVL and that means you should soon be receiving an OPR. Keep us posted.

Hello All,

Do you recommend me requesting the GCMS report? I have the AIP from September and my university got added this week to the approved DLIs with COVID readiness plan. Or should I just wait it out?
I'm not in a hurry as my online classes are underway but at the same time don't want to take it easy since I need to be in Canada before April in order to be eligible for PGWP. What do you all suggest?

Thanks

I think there is no need. You will receive Passport request within the next few weeks
Do you think they will extend April deadline with the increased cases?

I'm not too sure about the deadline extension. The fact that they are adding more universities to the list is an indication that they are OK with people traveling. On one hand, PGWP eligibility is connected to not having done more than 50% of the course remotely, and then if someone starts their education in September like I did, it's quite unlikely to reach to 50%, which makes the April deadline redundant. It's a bit tricky situation to be honest.

I guess if you were to apply maybe a month or two earlier, you would have been through already. Things were put on hold from March onwards and your application got processed with the rest. You are almost there since you have your AIP and BVL, so just a matter of few days. Best of luck my friend !

Is BVL a mandatory step in the process? I have a valid biometric from last year which is valid till 2029.
