hello my people. My cousin called IRCC today regarding a ghost update he received on his GCkey for study permit application and he was told that the update was for backends. That his eligibility status was “recommend interview” please should there be any need to worry? Coz we don’t seem to understand this. Could anyone one with experience explain this to me? Thank you!
Don’t multi post the same question over and over. If status says recommend interview then usually not a positive development. Cousin will just have to wait.

So your permit has been approved and waiting for PPR? Your background and eligibility is completed? How can school resume on December 30? Study permit processing is about 11 weeks.

Ok so all that time studying online doesn’t count towards PGWP. So processing is about 11 weeks from when you applied. Has eligibility and background check been completed.

Ask your lawyer the status of your file if your eligibility and background checks have even started. Background check is IRCC checking immigration status, security check and making sure all documents are real. Eligibility is to make sure you have all documentation to show you have the funds, ties to home country, justify program etc.

Thank you very much for your professional advice do you think it’s advisable to use a private bank statement of account investment statement has proof of funds for a study permit

Yes. Proof of funds are personal bank statements in your name or parents since you are 18 showing that you can afford studies. Given the costs of flight school, you will being showing all in cash.
