Yes, it is frustrating, there is no choice but to wait. There are so many of us who have applied well before you in 2020 and have not got any traction because of the Pandemic and Border closure. Hang in there.
Yes we had to. We have no other choice but to wait. Just felt really frustrating. Some of applicant i knew start getting approval after only a month or 2. But mine it’s been 7 months.

Hello,

Previously I applied visitor visa for my kids but today I got email that I need to do additional payement and also apply for study permit for kids. I can see in my GCKey the payement reciept upload section but cannot upload or change new study permit application pack for my kids.


Do I need to upload here or make changes in my profile?

How can I do it?

Hi Rahman.
As far as I know, you need to apply for a study permit for the kids and that a separate application and you will make payment under the application. CAD 150 is the fee per child.

Thank you for the response. Please for my understand I want to know more.
1. I already applied visitor visa. So what to do with that?
2. I paid already 100 CAD and today paid 50 CAD more. So payement is ok.
3. How I will upload the study permit? Like I have to make seperate GCKey account for my kids? Or can be done in this my GCKey account?

Thank you in advance.
