My medical got updated last Aug. 8. Application date was May 25. No further updates after that. And I already deferred to Jan 2023 intake.
Praying for my PPR in a week's time.

Let's keep on praying po.
Nung nagdefer ka did you inform IRCC already?

O punta nalang with new LOA and request for permit extension sa CA?

Kakadefer ko din lang kasi to January pero hinihintay ko pa new LOA

Some good news came this morning. Finally got our approval!

SDS application - Philippines
SP + SOWP + SP Minor

Application received: May 4, 2022
Biometrics done: May 9, 2022
Upfront Medical done: Feb 28, 2022
Medical passed: July 8 and 21, 2022
Eligibility Review: Augus 22, 2022
BVL: August 22, 2022
PPR: August 22, 2022

In our case, eligibility, BVL and PPR all happened at once on the same day.

Took 111 days / 16 weeks for my family. Already deferred to January but it's good so we'll have time to prepare and get cheaper airfare.

wishing good luck for the rest of the applicants!

Hello. My son's SDS track:

Application submitted - July 19
Biometrics completed - July 22
Upfront Medical - June 20

No other status updates
Webform follow up twice

Question: Since it appears regular track is faster than SDS, can we submit a new application via regular track WHILE SDS APPLICATION IS PENDING? Thanks for any advice!

"Your application was approved. You need to send us your valid passport to finalize your application."

Woohoo! Yung 20-days turn-around time ng SDS umabot ng 2 months! Had to defer from Fall intake to Spring. Salamat na rin, more prep time. Kapit lang applicants!

Application submitted - July 19
Biometrics completed - July 22
Upfront medical - June 20
Medical exam passed - September 14
Biometrics validity letter - September 21
Original Passport request - September 21

Congratulations po! Sana all hehe

Ako waiting pa SDS rin, July 5 lodge. Last update was Medical Passed on August 30

Pero from my observation I think IRCC is stil prioritizing Fall intake applications. I applied for Winter 2023 intake baka kaya hindi pa nila fina-finalize... :'(

Hi all, I received a refusal for my SDS application yesterday. Timeline was 14 weeks (June 14 - Sep 21). I was aiming for Fall 2022 intake.

Upfront medical: May 24
Application submitted: June 14
Biometrics done: June 16
Medical passed: June 30
Biometrics validation: Sep 21
Background check completed: Sep 21
Review for eligibility: Sep 21
Refusal: Sep 21

My refusal letter said, "I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay." It was incredibly frustrating to wait more than two months without an update only to get refused.

Ordered my GCMS notes right away, as I plan to reapply via Regular Stream once I've made improvements to my application based on the notes. Still hoping to somewhat make the January 2023 intake.

Best wishes to all of us!
