hi everyone, i just want to share my own application experience. i applied for a school in toronto for january 2016 intake. while waiting to be accepted at the college i applied at, i started with the documents needed for the student visa and trv. by the time i got accepted, i had all my documents ready and applied online. i filed my application august 7, and by august 9, i was already asked to go for medical exam. probably a week after, i got an update that i passed the medical exam. by august 24, i was already asked to send my passport. but due to a scheduled trip and the long weekend, i just turned in my passport last september 1. and a day after, i got an email that my visa has already been approved.
tip for those applying online, make sure to submit all documents needed. scan them and compress them in one PDF file.
good luck to those who will be applying!
