From my experience you need to have the BIL, otherwise you CANNOT submit fingerprints, they were very strict about this in my case. The reason my BIL took weeks to arrive was because I hadn't paid the right fee, that extra fee specifically for biometrics, perhaps this is why your BIL is not...

Hey, I did that too, but I'm not sure whether it helped anything. Try contacting your embassy through whatever they ways of contacting they have, phone, email, CSE...

All I can do is submit Case Specific Enquiries and explain the urgency of my situation, but unfortunately they happily ignore those. I guess the UK visa system is a bit better thought-out than the Canadian one! I'm gonna contact the MP in Toronto in the hope that he is in a position and willing...

It's for a study permit, so also a temporary visa. You are correct, it should be processed outside of Canada. But Vienna has informed me that it is now being processed in Canada. Absolutely agree, it's the worst system I've ever encountered. And the whole delay is only due to an error on their...

Wow that's good. I am with the Vienna office and they have forwarded my case to the CPC Vegreville in Canada. Unfortunately they don't seem to process as quick as the Ankara office, it has been more than 2 weeks for me :(

Thanks your your reply! What do you mean by contacting your MP? Were you already in Canada and contacted the MP there? Or from your country?

Hey, I am in exactly the same situation as you, how did your situation work out? Did Vegreville reply to your webform or the messages of the call centre agents? Gonna lose my space at the UoT if nothing happens in the next 7 days, this is so frustrating :'(
