Hi everyone,

I have been facing delays in my student visa application for September 2020 intake.
Current processing time for application of study permit from India on IRCC is given 1 week.

I completed my upfront medical on 17th February 2020.
I submitted my visa application on 3rd March 2020.
I completed my biometrics on 5th March 2020.
My visa application status is in progress
while my biometric status is completed.
However, My medical test status hasn't been updated yet.

I'm observing some applicants are receiving visa in spite of Coronvirus outbreak all over the globe.
I'm worried because people who applied for visa 5 days after my application are receiving visa for May and September Intakes.

I'm opening this thread to call out people with same concern.
If you are in the same boat please comment here and share your timeline and progress.

Hello all. Im from Tanzania (east Africa) I had applied for a post graduate program at seneca for sept 2020 In business analytics. I got a very quick response from seneca n within a month I paid my first sem fee. Now I had completed my visa process in the first week of April n did my biometrics on 6th April till than had no response but on 11 may I got an update stating that I passed my medical test n we are reviewing your application. My country was least affected by corona virus n we had no lockdown. Offices n work was continuing just like Normal .and the website has estimated a 9 weeks processing time for my county

Hi guys,
I really need your help, especially from the people who have applied recently under Student Direct Stream(SDS)?

Did you guys fill out the SDS Checklist form of (IMM 5976 E) or (IMM 5818 E)??

Could you please take some time off to check it and reply here. It'll be much appreciated.

I'm really confused as my Agent tells me that it's (IMM 5976 E), but in the CIC website I don't see any form with that no. Instead, I see another form (IMM 5818 E) under SDS. And my agent is saying that it's not the right one for SDS.

So, could anyone please tell me which form did you guys fill for SDS?

I don't want to fill different form and get my Study Permit rejected.

Someone please help.
