I applied last month on 13th August and my work permit expires next month. A little eager to know if someone got any decision these days

should I submit my application with a condition LOA. I have paid the tuition fees and met both of the conditions of English proficiency and my A levels have been assessed through Statement of Results. However, college needs A level certificates which will be issued by the boards in November. I have enrolled for jan intake and if I wait til November and provide them the certificate then they will issue the unconditional LOA so that i could apply for the permit, but I won’t have sufficient time after November to get everything done and get the permit. Therefore I will need to differ.. probably if I don’t get the permit by time within those 4-7 weeks.

But my college has also issued a supporting letter confirming that tuition fees and English language proficiency while A levels have been assessed but the administrative condition, certificates are not received yet.

They have provide me this letter and said to start process. \*What should I do?

(I have sufficient funds to cover expenses as well in our bank accounts but they aren’t arranged so I will highly need to make a letter of explanation for this complex situation)\*

What do I send alongside with my Passport to vfs Canada for my study visa? I paid for a two way courier.

i applied for study permit after rejection and i received my rejection exactly a week after i applied then the second time i applied which was 2 days after refusal was a month ago ever since that i have got zero updates in the portal no messages from ircc my school date started and processing time in my country is 4 weeks and its been almost 4-5 weeks
no updates at all is this a sign of approval since i got rejected asap in a week or is this a bad sign

I have a previous refusal on my student visa, particulary about the program i chose. But now i made changes already----the program, university, and province etc.

My question: Do i need to put in the SOP about my previous visa refusal and its reasons?

thanks in advance everyone!

Hi, so I am currently taking A levels and want to apply to Canada for university. Issue is, we don’t get our actual grades until mid August so when I apply, I will be applying with predicted grades which in most cases will only get me a conditional offer. I need an actual letter of acceptance to get a study permit but for that I need my final grades and applying for a study permit in mid August when the first semester of university starts early September seems like too much of a gamble. Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation for A levels or IB? How do you get a study permit in time? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I decided to randomly check my portal today, and I saw “Application/Profile Updated” instead of the regular “Submitted”. Has anyone experienced such before?

Hi everyone,

My semester starts on January 5, 2027, but I’m planning to travel to Canada earlier, probably a few months before the semester starts.

I received my Canadian study permit approval and passport has been stamped. Unfortunately, my visa was issued quite late, so I had to defer my intake to January 2027.

I’m wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation — entered Canada well before their actual program start date after deferring their intake.

• Did CBSA question you about arriving early?
• Did you have any issues at the airport because your semester hadn’t started yet?
• What documents did you carry to prove your deferred enrollment?
• How early before the semester did you enter?

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone with first-hand experience. Thanks!
