We (my kids and I)applied for Canadian visa and have done biometrics for over 2 months now. We haven't been asked to send our passports. Hope there's no issue

When did you apply? Did you apply as a single? Do you need a medical? Processing is at least 9-10 weeks. Depending where you live, you can wait months. Ask further questions under International Students.

So my program is starting April 2024 not May please.
Doesn’t matter. IRCC doesn’t expedite based on when a program starts. Processing is at least 9 weeks and possibly many more given the new announcement to cap study permits. Are you taking a Masters? Are you applying alone? Public DLI?

So all you can do is wait. If you don’t get any response by first week of March then send a webform. Some people wait 3-6 months for a response on study permits. Students applying from African countries take many months. What is the status of your file? Has eligibility and background checks been completed.

Check your application status online through your file. What is the status? Is medical required too?
