Means nothing. Using AI to generate texts that you can back up with documents shouldn't be a problem.

If I went to Covenant and graduated with a 1st class and I use AI to finetune this, it doesn't matter so long as I can show evidence of the claim.

Did their study permit get approved or denied after using AI? Were they turned back at the border because they used AI? Those are the questions you should ask.

Even IRCC uses AI.

Get the right documents, do the right things have the right amount of cash needed and your visa would be approved.

Don't mind them. Even IRCC uses AI to respond to applicants.

Good morning from your post I noticed you said you studied medicine and you’re now going for biotechnology (is it diploma?)
I wanted to ask if you stated it in your SOP that you studied medicine before because I studied physiology liked working with machines during my internship so I feel in love with the technology aspect and I’m interested in
Instrumentation and Control Engineering Technology

Or Biomedical Engineering Technology
I was actually interested in this two
But I dont know if it will make sense to the visa officers
I can’t really even go for MSc because my BSc is 2:2 what do you think
Doesn’t make sense?
Yes I wrote in my SOP I studied medicine I also uploaded my transcripts. I used BorderPass which partners with my college to write my SOP and it was reviewed with one of their Immigration Lawyers before submission.

My school recommended that BorderPass. Their charge was 500CAD or so. Though i didn't use them, they still updates me with current immigration policies in Canada.

Hi,

I applied on the 28th of June and at the time, processing time was 5 weeks. This weekend will make it 5 weeks and apart from updating my biometrics, there's been no update or movement since then.

At what point should I get worried?

I see nothing wrong here as long as the person is not using AI to create fradulent supporting docs.

If your program is starting from Fall 2026, you should start being worried from July end. The expectation is that you will be in Canada to settle in and for orientation 4 weeks/1 month before classes start in early Sept 2026.

Yeah the correspondence letter comes after they’ve put the counter foil in your passport, I had an information letter as well about not needing a separate coop work permit

Mine came before the passport was stamped.

Print the correspondence letter o. That is what you will show to the border officer at port of entry.
