If you have the money, I will advise that you get another passport.
So you won't have to worry about delays in your application and all.
But if you don't have the cash, well you can proceed with your application.
Since your permit is most likely to come out before the passport expires.
The bolded is my top recommendation though.
maestro09:
Good day everyone,

I am planning on applying for a study permit next year for a program that starts in September.

My International Passport expires December next year.

My question is if I go ahead to use this passport, will it be an issue when I apply for Visa?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ericksen(m): 9:44am On Dec 16, 2020
Morning all,
Please a friend will be travelling to the UK via Air France (KLM), is there any chance that someone here knows if he will be needing a covid19 test?
Thanks.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ericksen(m): 5:20pm On Dec 15, 2020
Wait to go bro.
January ain't that bad too. I believe they will get back to you by then.
When is your program starting?

Uzomachukwu:
I've heard that a million times, bro. It surely sounds like great advice for everyone having a huge anxiety over their application. I wouldn't be going for it though, not yet anyway. If by January I've not heard anything from then, well, I'll have to request for my GCMS notes. But for now, I'll wait—just a little while longer. The year is as good as spent!
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ericksen(m): 4:32pm On Dec 15, 2020
The thread is now more than 700. Is it not time to close it and create PART 18?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ericksen(m): 4:28pm On Dec 15, 2020
Order your GCMS bro, I am currently on this boat. I applied May 10, after medical and all, nothing till now. background check and eligibility still ongoing.
GCMS says I have been approved. So yeah, GCMS will give you some kind of assurance and rest of mind (-ish).

Uzomachukwu:
So IRCC finally updated my medical today on GCKey (there was no email notification). A part of me already feels like I've secured my study permit & visa approval; for me, the medical was the major fear.

Applied on June 16,
Upfront medical on Sept 01,
Biometrics collection on Sept 08,
Eligibility review and background check still ongoing August,
No other update from IRCC since after biometrics was updated on Sept 8
Medical updated today — passed!

Waiting for further updates: correspondence letter and hopefully PPR!

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ericksen(m): 3:48pm On Dec 02, 2020
Did anybody here send his/her passport to any VAC abroad?
cos with the way VFS is doing down here in 9ja, this might be the best thing to do now ooo.
What do you guys think?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ericksen(m): 10:48am On Dec 01, 2020
For those of us that have crossed to BVL, PPR and co levels, let's not forget the newbies in the house. I can see that we are not helping them enough with their requests.
Please let's continue to support them so they can progress to our stage too.

As for the newbies here, before you ask any question, I will advise that you take the time out to read the thread from the very first page, you'd see that before you even get to this page, you'll notice that you already have the answers to most of your questions.

Cheers!

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ericksen(m): 1:46pm On Nov 30, 2020
Mehhhhnnn..with what I am seeing here, its as if no VFS in 9ja is reliable ooo.
Maybe it's best to send our passport to Germany or Dubai sef.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ericksen(m): 5:54pm On Nov 24, 2020
Mine was supposed to start this Sept 2020. But I had to defer to Sept 2021 (my program does not have winter/spring start date). As per my application, I am waiting for my BVL/PPR {My GCMS shows that my SP has already been approved}.

HorlarJP:
Amen o, it must surely end in praise and my program is starting by January 6 and yours and what stage is your application?

But I doubt if my application will be sorted by then because some September applicants here are still told to be patient... Geez
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ericksen(m): 11:01am On Nov 24, 2020
No qualms. It will end in praise. Sit tight. When is your program supposed to start?
HorlarJP:
I have done my biometrics since 3 weeks ago so waiting for a medical request or PPR or just anything geez
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ericksen(m): 1:43pm On Nov 23, 2020

Blavkmaann:
That money you want to pay, save it you will need it.

Let me tell you how I applied..... after getting the admission, I went to that VFS office and met a bunch of hoodlums at the gate, because I drove and carry ear bud abi what’s that rubbish, they just assume I was a big big boy, they took me to one office and started listing Bill for me... the one that off me was, form filling 70k.... he say if u don’t have POF, I shu not worry he will get for me....... mstchew, I left there, bought one Nice Flirt Vodka and coke, went to my house, on gen, on light, on laptop, High wel well, then open Canada.ca ..... Omo I follow my mind and here we are today

It’s ending in legit praise! I’ll soon make a YouTube video about the whole process, let me collect my passport next week..


Ehen, I’m doing party.... stamped Canada passport party..... coming soon..... God no go shame us

Kimkalash:
You re going to Memorial?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ericksen(m): 4:08pm On Nov 21, 2020
True. More reason why I am going to the province. Na PPR we de wait for laidis ooo!!
Frankrobbn1:
This is because their tuition fees are cheaper and the Atlantic province is the easiest place to secure your PR without stress. The visa officers are fully aware of this, that's why prospective international students find it very challenging getting approval with some of the schools there and only a few are granted visa.


It will end in praise
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ericksen(m): 4:03pm On Nov 21, 2020
Go ahead please. They are both different applications and IRCC will not hold anything against you as they allow individuals with dual intent. So you will be judged solely as a student when you apply for SP.

Gbola007:
Good evening gurus in the house, can someone who has applied for express entry and didn't qualify apply for student visa? What are the chances of getting the student visa considering he has applied for express entry before.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ericksen(m): 7:04pm On Nov 20, 2020
Have you done the biometrics, if yes, then I should take at least 5hours or so. Except there are some glitches at the VAC,

Sugarbunny94:
Una well done o!

Let me rephrase my question.

How long does it take for biometrics to change from " your action is required"

Don't scroll and pass o, answer my question bikonu.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ericksen(m): 7:01pm On Nov 20, 2020
Mine arrived in less than 35days. A friend in CAD did it for me ($5)
Uzomachukwu:
Count from when the application was completed, not when it was submitted. Applying for GCMS note, which will take another 2 months to arrive, isn't the way to go for now.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by ericksen(m): 6:59pm On Nov 20, 2020
Hello,
When is your class supposed to start?
I will advise that you order your GCMS note. I applied since May 10, eligibility and background still ongoing on my portal up till now. But the GCMS note showed that my application has already been approved.
P.S Medical has been passed though
P.S.S I also deferred to Fall 2021 (maybe that's why they are not concerned cos they know I still have time).

Uzomachukwu:
Those guys? Their delay seems to be legendary.

I applied June 16,
Upfront medicals Sept 1,
Biometrics Sept 8,
Eligibility and Background checks still ongoing,
No AIP,
No BVL,
No update about my medical.

I've contacted them thrice in the past 1 month. They responded only once, two days ago, saying:

Good day,

In response to your email enquiry below, kindly note that this application is still under active review by our office. At the moment, we are not in a position to give a clear indication of when we anticipate finalizing this application.
