That is how there system work . Unpredictable , sometimes they are very slow in processing and sometimes they respond fast. Anyway if they didn't get back to you on time then get ready to defer your admission to the next intake.

You applied before the rules changed. All applications before April 30th will be done under the old rules. Under those rules they can take up to 45 days.

I applied on 5th april online. Medical passed on 6th may.
No other updates. Any idea why they're taking this long?

Is it true that all student visas need to be applied online now? What is the time-frame for general application and can anybody apply in general if he/she already paid full program fee, has GIC and upfront medical?

@selvakk Please advice
