Salut!

I started reading this thread vigorously, albeit silently after my application on June 3rd, 2017. Though, I read www.cic.gc.ca deeply before applying, I figure this forum is great for extra help.

I must say that certain approval profile descriptions here gave me some hope during the wait and my hope is that my profile can do the same to some other person(s).
Here goes,...

Applied online: June 3rd
Biometrics call: June 5th
Approval message/Passport request: August 2nd
Passport submitted: August 3rd
Passport collection: Awaiting.....

Documents submitted and arrangement format:
-Study Permit Application (filled as accurately as possible and multiply-checked)
-CAQ (for Quebec applicants)
-Under Passport (Passport data page + Police Clearance certificate)
-Under Letter of Acceptance (Offer of Admission Letter, C$250 acceptance fee, NYSC discharge certificate [2017], BSc Certificate [2016], Undergraduate Transcript, WAEC Certificate)
-Under Proof of financial support (sponsors' six months bank statement, sponsors' proof of business, sponsors' proof of asset, accommodation support letter from relative residing in the area) Sponsor: Parent
-Under Proof of medical exam (e-Medical printout obtained at Children's & Consultant Practice where I did my upfront medicals)
-Under Digital Photo (Digital photo size as specified on “cic” website)
-Family Information form (filled as accurately as possible and multiply-checked)
-Under Proof of relationship (Dad's passport data page & my birth certificate)
-Schedule 1 - Application for a Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside of Canada
-Under Letter of Explanation (Study plan- With six short paragraphs, I answered relevant questions [purpose of visit, current activity, intentions after study etc.] - about 1 page)

Course progression (BSc. Elect Engrng--> M.Eng Elect/Comp Engrng)

Re-iterating what “gurus” here have said; My two cents: Keep application as simple, relevant (as your case may be) and accurate as possible (I do not think online or paper application affects decision speed much), Pray and keep up your faith and positivity, Read and ask questions. Bonne chance tout le monde! Goodluck Everyone!
