Hello Goathead,

Hope well. I have a client who has received her correspondence letter since 26th of March. I am yet to hear anything from the embassy since then. Be it refusal or approval. There have been reported cases of people whom their applications still says reviewing eligibility, it took so long they decided to request their GCMS notes, and they found out that the application had been refused, despite on the portal its still saying reviewing eligibility. So my only suggestion is wait.

As for everyone else, I strongly recommend you should not apply at the moment, the IRCC is in a state of disarray and not sure what they are doing anymore. Recent applicants I know (2) who's applications were submitted online from Nigeria, guess where their applications were sent to for processing? CHINA!!!!

That could mean there is nobody in the Kenyan office or South African office or Ghanaian office to process study permit applications from Nigeria at the moment. So please keep calm until they get themselves together. O, just so you know, the applications that went to China came back very very quickly as refusals..

Cheers

Very true. I know of someone who recently received a correspondence letter denoting rejection within a very very very short period after he submitted an application..And his refusal letter came in from China.

@NigerianTraveller
I did the medical and sent the eMedical slip by webform . I applied online first and didn't want to have my application delayed for any reason. So I did upfront medical and attached the slip to my application via webform and my status has reflected "You Passed the medical"

I booked biometric on August 24 and didn't want COVID or any funny thing to delay me. So I did upfront medical on August 22, biometric on August 24. Biometrics was updated same day August 24 and medical updated as Passed on September 3

I booked medical with QLife hospital in Lagos
