BIGGEST UPDATE FOR ALL STUDENTS

[Guddah]

No one will take risk with such huge amount, universities will also have to revise their refund policies. As I asked from Algoma uni they said if visa gets rejected they will refund my fees minus the processing fees of 300$. She told me to take online classes without visa, I said her that duration won't count towards my PGWP, that point has been cleared, then I asked her what if I take online classes and my visa gets rejected, will I get the refund, she said yes you will get full refund minus 300, but the thing is they have to revise their refund policy for fall 2020 because no one is fool enough to risk such huge amount, unless someone is really fool enough

Soo funy

"It is important for prospective students to note that commencing their studies online from abroad following approval-in-principle of a study permit application is not a guarantee that they will receive a full approval of their study permit application, or be authorized to pursue their studies in Canada. It is still possible that an applicant could receive a negative final decision on their study permit based on factors such as inadmissibility for criminality or security reasons, and the inability to predict how the COVID-19 situation and any associated travel restrictions will evolve."

True tho but still Visa officer will found problems about our application when you dont have any misrepresentation or Criminallity.. They will the say**Am not satify you will leave canada at the end of your Online Classes** Since is a temporary pilicy i urge all friends to wait for may or sep 2021

It is also mentioned that it doesn't guarantee visa approval, as final decision will be given after we submit all the required documents, so what if a person gets rejected and he is almost done with semester 1 online, will he/she get the refund for that semester? I guess it's a very risky take. Very much confused on this thing.
Great question but i think 2nd stage would include security risks and all of those things i dont think they will refuse if im wrong then they are creating huge mess

Only thing they will check is offer letter from university and funds? No more reasons like We don't think you will return or ties to home country?
Later they will only check if you are a criminal etc?

'
The temporary stages for approval are approval-in-principle and eligibility/admissibility:

• Applicants who pass the approval-in-principle stage—which includes showing that they have been accepted at a Canadian learning institution, have the available funds and are otherwise eligible for the study permit—will be notified of a first-step approval.
• Once the approval-in-principle is issued, applicants can begin studying online abroad and have that time count towards their post-graduation work permit, provided they meet other criteria and that they eventually receive full approval of their study permit.
• An applicant will receive final approval once they have met all eligibility and admissibility requirements, including submitting biometrics and necessary documents such as an immigration medical exam and a police certificate. Only once a final approval is received will an applicant be able to travel to Canada.

'
personally i think they will also check your eligibility in the first stage

No we can't travel unless we have our classes in person such as labs etc. I understand this is not widely known because its a hidden policy by CBSA. I even called to confirm, they said you can't come in for online classes. Very sad...

This is not true. You can travel once your Visa was approved before March 18

 

[Innayma]

You can travel but there is no assurance that the Border Officers will let you in even with a visa issued before March 18. They consider a lot of factors, and having online classes can either be essential/non-essential depending on your overall situation. They can still deny entry even if you think your reasons are valid.

My visa was approved in December but I decided to put my travel plans on hold for now.

The travel situation is unstable and my friend who works at a University in Ontario also advised me to delay my travel plans until the CBSA/IRCC gives concrete guidelines.

You can now include the time you apply for a study permit, rather than when you were approved for one, towards a future post-graduation work permit.

Can Someone put more light on this specific words as i am new here, Didn't understand this one ?

 

[SohailArif]

If you take online classes without final visa approval, it will be counted in your PGWP duration.

 

[costeltin]

If you don't prove that your reason for traveling is "essential" (since most classes are online, it will be hard to prove that your reason for traveling is essential), they might refuse you entry...
