Hey guys,
-I gave my upfront medical exam on 20 Aug 2020
-I filed under SDS category on 17 Oct 2020
-got BIL next day on 18 Oct 2020
-gave biometrics on 7 Dec 2020 and got it updated in GC portal same day
-no updates afterwords till this date (27 Jan 2021)

I filed for Jan intake in a public study institution (CEGEP as the say in quebec) and they have auto deferred Jan intake students to May and have issued new LOA and also I had to file for a new CAQ, both of which have not been updated in my IRCC file by me yet.

Now, my course starts in May 2021 but my submitted documents are for Jan intake and there is no medical update, no ghost update and no eligibility checks have begun as of now.

Any ideas what should I do now?

I know, right! Now I hope these sequences, in whatever order they're being taken care of by IRCC, i just hope it happens anytime now.

True that, a lot of students' and their families' patience are being tested by IRCC. And them being this much shady is not helping at all!

I am in the same boat. The only difference is my college is in Ontario. My timeline is in the signature.
