[rogerdude1]

My college is Conestoga-Guelph campus. I dropped 3-4 emails to college and they suggested to speak with respective professors about my situation. Awaiting for professors list to be displayed

yeah i understand even my student service advisors took a whole day to figure out the 'once-in-a-blue-moon-distressed-international-student-query'

It can take up to 4-10 working days. There is no certain time line during this time. But mostly you will here about it next week.

They must be processing in batches, so expect a bunch of you to get it this week.

POE and Counterfoil updated. Took exactly 24 hours for the POE to update after Counterfoil. Passport on the way back. Things are looking clear a head.

What are your opinions on me booking flight ticket now considering the fact that the rate is skyrocketing day by day?

Your classes are in person? If not then I would recommend you to wait and fly mid September. I can't digest the fact that just two years back, I booked one way ticket to Canada for 30k.

Mine is online however if I could reach there before 17th Sep I could change my course to in-person option I believe. In a way online classes are not worth the money, So I am not feeling to attend a whole Semester online.

Over that there are signs of a third wave happening soon in India. So if that happens then almost every option there is now might get closed, which will be a big disaster, at least for me. Which are the reasons why I am planning to gtfo here soon.

I am in the same boat and planning to leave asap. I think you might still find some reasonable flights now but never know later. I'd say book now or wait till Sep 21. My passport is still under processing but I went ahead and booked anyway. Good luck.

Hi guys!

I have a question and hope you'll answer. I was wondering if I were to go to Canada on a student visa by December (while my profile is already in the pool waiting for an ITA) and during the studies if I were to receive PR would I still have to pay international student fees?

Thank you.
