I applied online for study permit on 9th Oct 2015 for a class starting 4th Jan 2016. For 5 weeks after submission, there's just silence from CIC until I send SEVERAL emails via so-called Case Specific Inquiry and I (finally) was given an invitation for medical check on 17th Nov. After I got a confirmation okay-to-go from the panel physicians CIC has appointed, then the process just stopped all of a sudden. No confirmation, no email, no calls, just stopped with status "we need your medical information" up until today, 11 Dec (I must confirm to may campus on 13th Dec).
Amazing how the process for a study permit could be a painful and dragging one, while it was clearly stated in the CIC website that the decision will be made not more than 4 weeks after submission --> cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp/students.asp/ <--. This process which is already took more than 3 months, still have no uncertainty towards my study permit.
The process already cost me my booked flight for 9th Dec (it's a common sense I have to booked it months before to avoid holiday season unreasonable price), cancelling my paid-for booked hotels, cargo to move my personal stuff, resignation from my job (one month notice as the standard clause), but what most worry me is I will loose my fully paid for college fee that will commence on 4th Jan (confirmation on 13th Dec). Not to mention the stress, energy, and time I have wasted from this painful waiting period.
Last CIC response was it is not their fault that I have make a preparation to move my life to a whole new country and they can't speed up the process and just a simple apology in an email.
Anyone experiencing the same thing? I'm so frustrated here. :'(
