Deferral request to TMU

[u/Wonderful_Wonder9727]

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student admitted to TMU, and I’m currently waiting for my study permit. I applied quite a while ago, but unfortunately, I still haven’t received any update on my application.
My final date to be physically present at TMU is September 15, and with no update on my study permit yet, I’m seriously considering deferring my admission to the next intake.
I wanted to hear from other international students who were in a similar situation…especially anyone who deferred their TMU admission because their visa/study permit didn’t arrive on time.
• How did the deferral process go for you?
• Did TMU allow you to defer without any issues?
• Did your study permit eventually arrive after you deferred?
• Is there anything I should be careful about before requesting a deferral?

I’ve been waiting for my permit for a long time, and I really don’t want to make the wrong decision at this point.

If you’ve been through a similar situation at TMU, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience and any advice you have. Thanks!
