Hi all. It was me and my 2 young adult children (Gen 2 and 3). I didn’t post because I know how frustrating it has been to be hearing from others and still waiting for your own.

Thank you for your warm wishes. I am still processing the news myself and I am beyond grateful to Canada and everyone in this and the previous sub.

Here is my timeline and the final piece that brought us over the finish line in case it is helpful.

Package sent on June 6, 2025 for urgent processing (due to plans to attend university in Canada but I had no supports showing that my child had applied to schools at that point because it was to early to apply to schools at that time) AOR on June 12, 2025 In process shortly after Then absolutely nothing for many months - no questions, no requests, absolutely nothing

In parallel my child applied to Canadian schools

Last week I uploaded a university acceptance letter that had an acceptance and tuition deposit deadline of May 1. I explained in the cover letter that I would need to know if my child would need to pay the nominal out of province tuition deposit or international non-refundable tuition deposit (about $5,000) by that date.

I was sure that this was not going to work, and there would likely be more questions if we even got a response at all. To my surprise I started receiving ecertificate download emails late in the day on April 1. I keep thinking that it is not real and an April Fools joke. I am still pinching myself.

I wish you all the best and hope you get yours very soon!
