Many students in Bangladesh received AIP after applying September 15. Those AIPs are genuine and all of them received it in GC key.

So is there any chance all the visas would get 2nd stage approval before January start??

Actually, VFS are off. Truth be told. If they open VFS on November 1. They will have only 45 days to give final decision+PPR+Stamping for both September and January intake students as there will be a long holiday in December.

It seems this is not gonna be possible. So they will prioritize the Fall applicants and Stamp their Visa first. Then they will start stamping the January intake students password and this might take January or even February. But students might get their final decision from the last week of November and the first week of December. But all depend on VFS reopening.

So, hope VFS resume their operations from November 1.

So February-March seems like the ideal months when most students would get their full visas ig

technically none of the January intake for 2021 students should get AIP until they applied with September intake LOA.. its nothing to do with the date actually
check the link https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/students.html

If you’re outside of Canada and you apply for a study permit, we’ll process your application in 2 stages. We’ll process complete applications first.

This 2-stage process only applies to study permit applications

• submitted by September 15, 2020, and
• for programs that start, or started, in spring, summer or fall 2020

above is mentioned in the the link
let me know cause I am confused when people say they got AIP but ircc says no AIP yet for 2021 intakes

So new visa rules would most prolly be announced on 20th October right?Maybe they can do biometrics at Port of entry?

many possibilities can be thought off..hope they reveal the new visa rules by 20th October.. the wait is tiring
