If you don’t mind, could you share your timeline? Can you tell me when did you apply and when did you receive the approval?

Applied May 2020
Biometric July 2020
AIP August 2020
Deferred to fall 2021 (IRCC informed via webform)
Approval November 2020

I am still waiting for the new LOA but IRCC did not request it, they issued the approval and it states I should enter Canada before 2023.

oh okay, that’s good! Thanks for sharing.
I’ve applied for my visa but I can only give my biometrics in December, due to the lockdown.
I really hope it won’t take as long once I have submitted a complete application.

Hi! Have you submitted your biometrics now? I also recently applied for the study permit to start my PhD in Jan 2021 but I am worried that I won't get it approved soon enough
