Are there any SDS applicants that have received First stage approval AIP for January 2021 intake? I got my AIP this week and I applied in Nov 2020.

question po sa mga experts.. as I am still on the waiting stage for offer letter from school..

for SDS applicants, aside sa 10K CAD GIC, do I need to prepare additional budget for my spouse who will be accompanying me? or do we need to open 2 different 10k CAD GIC each?

Thank you.

I thought AIP is for summer to fall 2020 intake with incomplete requirements eg medicals , biometrics , NBI/police clearance

A similar update was announced recently for applicants submitted before Dec 15th. This is the reason why issuing PPR slows down. This is just similar situation with the months of July and August 2020. AND, ALSO, THEY DID NOT ISSUE AIP ONLY FOR INCOMPLETE DOCUMENTS. Starting AIP literally means stopping issuing PPR for an unknown time. If you remember, there was no PPR until the end of October (when the list of DLIs came out). Literally, they issued PPRs in Nov and Dec, and again slowed down issuing PPR and just focus on AIP because of COVID-19.

I have passed my biometrics, medicals, AIP. I wonder what’s the delay

Hello po! Good day po. Ask ko lang po kung meron po dito may idea sa situation ko. I received the correspondence letter of biometrics last Jan 21 2021 but it was dated April 29 2020. I lodged my student app before lockdown Feb 2020 with complete requirements po including bio and medical passed. Until now po kasi wala pang update mag 1 year na yung application ko.

Hello, if your intake is September, what is the best month to apply for student permit? Is 4 months enough like applying around May.

Also, would like to confirm if IELTS is not needed anymore for Regular paper based student permit application?

Thank you

I just attached my own LOA on his section since dependent student permits are exempt from needing LOA's if the primary applicant is studying/working.

I included 6 months bank statements, bank certifications, and investment statements along with my letter of explanation.

I think May is okay. I've seen approvals for Sept 2021 intake since December 2020. Yung iba nga nauna pa sa May intake hehe.
