Thanks! This forum helped me a lot when I prepared for my study permit application, so I want to make my contributions as well while waiting for the result.
I request people who applied for a study permit in or after April of this year to share their timeline, I am in a huge dilemma regarding sds vs n.sds.

Yup my answers were all yes till now apart from the tuition fees. The reason I put upfront medical as Yes is because I heard from a few people that apparently even tho they don't have a slot , if I attach my medical report and have that answer as yes then it speeds up the process. Same reason with the IELTS test results as well.
Actually I was in the same situation when I applied. I eventually changed the IELTS question but still submitted the test scores... Though I'm still waiting for the result, I think it will be fine.. After all the questionnaire is not part of the application, and the vo makes decisions only based on the materials we submit.
I see. Try checking their websites once. I too was waiting for the ielts TRF but apparently they only do eTRFs these days and the body that hosts these tests here posted the eTRFs online even tho it isn't explicitly mentioned anywhere that they won't send via post, which is how I got it in 2020.
I have a friend who was qualified for sds, but answered NO to the upfront medical exam question and submitted the medical exam information sheet together with the application. I just got her massage that she received the ppr (two months after application). Hope the news gives you a little comfort...
I am worried about the part where it took 2 months. Since some people who have the upfront medical answered as yes got theirs in like 8-10 days , a few weeks ago, ofcourse that might change but who knows. These study permit procedures are like black boxes.
Actually two months is not long for us... I don't how it works for your country, but for China, if you applied with a master program, it often takes two months and above... Those who get ppr in about ten days are either undergraduate or post-baccalaureate diploma/certificate applicant...
Ahh I see, it might have been influenced by luck. I am worried about it taking 2 months because that's all the time I have left so if something goes wrong there's no time to rectify anything. I'll have one shot basically.
Even I will be applying in mid June,should I go for SDS or Non SDS?I had applied under SDS in Nov 2021,got ppr,but now changing uni,so reapplying.
Hard to say tbh but non SDS seems to be no worse than SDS at the very least even tho there's a small chance it might be better. However remember it has a higher chance of rejection too so depending on your profile you should go for it.
