I and my friend gave the biometric on the same day ie 3rd oct he got approval on 4th oct itself and my application status shows that it's still processing.
He even go his visa stamped.
Are such instances common , is there something to worry about, please share your insights.
And also how many days does it take for sds Visa Processing . I'm applying from India.
Thanks in advance.

What u wrote in sop bro..
Can u share it here
It will be a long post to copy-paste it here, mine was 1 n half page long. I basically drafted it in a phased manner.

1st para - About Me, my family and what we do for living. You must give your first hint to the Visa officer here that you will be returning to India. Just provide a hint within your sentences. Second hint of being Financially Sound can be summed up here too if required.

2nd Para - Academic Background, Provide hint to the Visa officer that your previous education is related/linked to the course you are taking now in Canada.

3rd Para, 4th Para - Explain journey of your work experience and what led you to a course in Canada. Your ultimate realization

5th, 6th - Lines for Why this college/University. Few lines on syllabus (Use subject name)and curriculum, Few lines about the professors/teaching faculty, i used the name of a professor and books he authored and how his lectures will help me. Picked it up from the college website. Few lines on activities that you will indulge in your college.

7th - Short term goal.

8th - Long term goal (Must include solid plan of coming back to your home country). Connect this para with your first paragraph's hint. Make it like you have some unfinished work to retake here in your home country with the help of the education gained in Canada.

I hope this helps :)
