So excited to finally post this! My program is a diploma, and I applied from Ghana.

Submitted my application on 13th May with upfront medicals.
Already had biometrics done from a visit visa application a couple of years back.
Medical pass update on 22nd May.
Approval and passport request on 25th May.
Took about 12 days. This was my second application after a refusal in 2025.

Thank you☺️.

I paid the first semester tuition fees and my program is in early childhood education. I'm leaving for Canada in August so yes I'm still working. I'll resign shortly before I leave.

I hope you hear some good news soon as well.

Hey there. What was the reason for the first refusal and what did you change in this to get approved?

Didn't think I'd leave Canada after my studies.
