The requests have caused alarm among international students, many of whom hold valid visas with up to two years of remaining validity
The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has advised Indian students to resubmit their applications for visas, study permits, and other documents due to a technical issue that has affected the processing of some applications. This issue stems from a cyberattack on the Canadian visa application center in India, which has led to delays and complications in the application process. The IRCC has assured that they are working to resolve these issues and have urged affected students to reapply to ensure their applications are processed in time for the upcoming academic sessions. This announcement comes amidst concerns over the impact on students' plans to study in Canada, highlighting the need for timely action to mitigate further delays.
