Finally seen someone in the same boat. My brother’s application was submitted April 20. Absolute silence till today. Gcms note requested, web form submitted, called like 20 times.
No movement at all.
We are in the same boat too I applied April 20 and May 15 was medical passed, and haven't heard from them since, have filled web forms and also sent mails all to no avail.

Thank you so much taking your time to explain. God bless you

You should consider targeting Social Services occupations when choosing a program.

In my opinion, you'll have a better chance of receiving an Invitation to Apply for permanent residence through Express Entry than if you pursue another master's degree in Mass Communication.

I am just being practical here. Some programs you could consider include:

Social Service Worker
Community and Justice Services
Child and Youth Care
Addictions and Mental Health
Developmental Services Worker
Behavioural Science
Community Support Worker


At the end of the day, everyone is free to make their own decision. I am simply sharing what I am seeing based on the current immigration and job market. If your goal is to study in Canada and eventually obtain permanent residence, these programs may put you in a stronger position than another Mass Communication degree.

Also, keep in mind that Social Services occupations is currently one of the category-based selection groups for Express Entry.

As long as it's the same amount the school asked you to pay as the acceptance fee, you will be fine. If you end up not getting the visa God Forbid, the school will refund the accetance fee back, so there's no need to worry about that.....

As for the timeline, you've done everything you can. Unfortunately, no one can make IRCC process applications faster. Hopefully, you will receive a response before next month. Just keep your hopes up, and don't let IRCC give you high blood pressure.

make sure you notify your school to ask what your refund, defer options are.

School sent a mail and gave deadline for registration tho it has passed so I was asked to defer till January if I didn't get reply before resumption, because they can't refund the tuition fee unless I hear from ircc....is really draining.

I did my medical immediately after they requested to go for my biometric and submitted both,is really crazy and draining.

I just got off on a chat with Emirates. They said if you have already sent your documents for transit visa application, no need sending again and that they will only process the visa between 14 days to 48 days before departure.

Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by abimonile97: 5:40pm On Jul 30
Oh okay, i just hope they will approve it. Also, i want to ask if you already booked Airbnb in Canada ?

Please i need a response from anyone that has an idea or experience.

I want to defer my admission from September 2026 to May 2027. This would be the second deferral. The reason is around financials. I have made some financial commitment as well,as in tuition

How best can I state a reason for this deferral and have a chance of getting it
