Should I send a WebForm asking about my application since I dont have any update after jun 15? or I have to just wait?
Yes,
May I know how did you apply for GCMS Notes? Any consultancy? Any known person living in Canada? or any Website? I am afraid to give undertaking to a consultancy to apply for my GCMS Notes because of my past experience with fake agents.
You can apply for your GCMS notes by yourself. It´s online, free and easy.

Hello everyone, been watching this thread but I'm growing very desperate amidst my situation. To summarize, my recent timeline is:

June 15: ADR
June 20: Documents submitted and review started.
June 22: Background check started (according to the tracker)

Nothing since then. I'm a Fall intaker and I only have a month left. I don't know if I should concern myself over this or not. Any advice or recommendations (good or bad) will be appreciated!!!

Hi Guys,
I have applied for a student Visa and completed Biometrics on the 10th of May. Yesterday was 12 weeks waiting. Has anyone been waiting longer? my nerves are finished because I am supposed to start school in September

Hi guys
(applied from china-non SDS)
Applied June 7
Biometrics submitted: June 28
Medical request: July 5
Medical passed: July 17

Eligibility: in progress(GCKey acc), Completed(tracker)
Background check: In progress both in tracker and GCKey account

Somehow the processing slowed after medical update. I forgot to submit the "Schedule 1 - Application for a Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside Canada (IMM 5257)" form when I submitted my application. should I send this via webform or wait for them to ask me or is it unimportant(says in GCKey account "we don't need additional docs")? anybody with similar experience? any help is appreciated.

Why do you need to wait for them? Send the document via a webform.
