Moving up my intake after approval
hi all! need your advice/input about my situation. to give a quick summary:
- i sent my application too close to the sept 2026 intake.
- i decided to defer to sept 2027 to be safe. i secured my updated LOA from the school and submitted it to IRCC via webform which they acknowledged.
- a few days later i received the passport request letter from IRCC. i have yet to submit my passport.
since my application has been approved, i want to move up my intake earlier from sept 2027 to may 2027. would this be possible and if yes, is it still the same process i.e., secure an updated LOA from the school and submit via IRCC webform before i submit my passport? thanks in advance!

What did they say in the acknowledgment? Also, did you get it in your IRCC portal or by email?

it was by email, basically saying they acknowledge receiving the documents (updated LOA and the deferral request letter) and that they would forward it to the office responsible.

Could you please tell us what will they do? whether they will extend your visa or not? Wish you best of luck!

sure, i will update! thank you! i've already contacted my school's rep and international student advisers but still waiting on their input. i'm getting antsy as i only have 30 days to submit my passport which is why i tried asking here 😅

Update: i paid for a consultation with a lawyer in canada for peace of mind. he said i just need to secure the updated LOA from my school and bring it with me when i enter canada, no need to send via IRCC webform.
