Some Chinese international students say their study permits have been tied up in security screenings, leaving them in the lurch for months after being admitted to Canadian universities.
Yunze Lu, a master's student in electrical and computer engineering at the University of Ottawa, has already completed a year of coursework online and successfully applied to the school's co-op program.
Lu said he didn't even know his application was under security review by the Canada Border Services Agency until he filed an access to information request to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to find out more about his file. Given the delay, Guo is worried he'll lose his admission offer and could miss the opportunity to apply to study in other countries.
The University of Ottawa said it's aware of visa delays for students from 'many countries' and is working to find accommodations with various departments.
