Hello, i've applied for a student visa in the 18th of june 2017 and today is 30th of july 2017 and still no respond, they mentioned that it takes 3 weeks te respond and still nothing, and i do have a visitor visa to Canada valid to 2020
So why did they put it as a 3 weeks does not include the transportation between vfc and ircc, and i called them and they told me it will take maximum 8 weeks
using online application u can raise special inquiry case to ask them about ur application ..but I don't know about the paper one .. no one could answer ur question .. it depend on the number of applications .. june and july are busy months
