Students for September 2019 intake
- Thread starter Evankc
- Start date
Hey guys, does the visa processing time only start after biometrics? I did mine online.
It says
Your processing time starts the day we receive your complete application and ends when we make a decision."
If you apply online or in-person, it starts when you submit your application.
But it also says:
For visitor visa, study or work permit applicants:

- The time it takes you to give your biometrics isn’t included in the application processing time.
Hey guys,
In need of some extra opinions here.
I applied for a study permit to do a M.A.Sc in UofT with full funding (online, non-sds, applying from South Africa) on the 14th of May. I only submitted the documents required (funding letter, summer term LoA, etc but no SoP nor upfront medical)
Here's the timeline of my application so far:
applied online - 14th may
bio-metrics requested and completed - 15th may
Request for medical, my previous degree certificates, police certificate and fall term LoA - 17th July (horrible two month wait)
Medical done - 18th July
Degree certificates, police certificate and fall term LoA submitted - 23th July
Medical passed on CIC profile - 25th July
Do you think they will reach a decision soon? I already have a M.Sc (I'm doing the M.A.Sc with the intention to bypass it to a PhD at the earliest convenience). Could this be delaying my application? Would it helped if I file a IRCC webform? or should I just wait for a few days? It is rather uncomfortable at the moment since the term is starting in September and I wanted to wait until a decision is reached before looking for accommodation in the city.
Thanks for everyone's time in advance

Medical upfront on 1st july
Applied on 9th
Biometrics done and updated 12th
Biometrics and medical passed on 23rd
Review of eligibility started on 24th
And after that no updates.... How long it going to take to get visa ?
Also I am not getting any mail on my Gmail, things are directly being updated on gckey without any notification. Do I need to worry about it ?
