Good news guys!!!

My husband got the Passport request mail just now.

Also, he contacted the school and they have given him the option to resume January 2020 if he feels he needs more time to prepare since the resumption time is too close.

We have decided to submit his passport to get the visa and he will be deferring his admission to resume in January (since we do not know how many days it will take them to return his passport). This will give his enough time to resign appropriately and make adequate travel plans.

Thanks so much @Ca12 and @bex for the advice and words of encouragement given. God bless you both.

All the best to everyone waiting. I pray this spurs more good news to come

Hello house

Please I would like you to advice me on the best way forward with regards my husband's application.

My husband got a full PhD. scholarship from WLU and he has put forward his online application. Please see the timeline below:

Submission Confirmation - May 6
Confirmation of online application - May 6
Biometrics Collection Letter - May 7
Biometrics Completion - May 9
Medical Report letter - June 19
Medical Result - July 12
Biometrics Correpondence Letter - July 22

He is to resume 1st week of September 2019 and up until now, he hasn't received any mail to submit his passport. Also, he is yet to resign from work since he hasn't gotten the study permit confirmation and he is required to give 1 month notice in lieu of resignation.

He sent a webform last week to make inquiry concerning his application but he is yet to get any response.

Please house what do you consider the best step going forward?

1. Should he wait until the visa comes out and then email the school that he will be coming in late since he got the visa late? (that would mean resuming October)

2. Should he just ask the school to defer his admission to the Winter term (January 2020)? Would that mean getting a new admission letter and sending it to the IRCC?

3. Or should he just wait and do nothing and let the application run its course.

Please your prompt advice will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for your response.
He will email the CIC offices to remind them of his application as suggested.

mcobex:
Let him email his school to give him more time(most schools give 14 days for students to resume after resumption), hopefully before then he will hear from CIC. Also he should send email to CIC again (to their Lagos, London, Kenya and Accra offices ) reminding them politely how far his application has gone.
Most passports will be dispatched in the next 2 weeks(it is a trend). As for the resignation, it is his choice, but it is 99% certain he will get his passport request

ca12:
Option 1 is the best option to me from experience. I am also a may applicant and my decision came in August after I sent the webform and sent email to my processing center at Nairobi. His visa may come in before resumption, so just wait to get a response from the webform you sent. Some times after sending the webform, they send the approval mail within some days. This was my own case

Thank you so much for your response.
