Study Permit Delay, No communication from IRCC

[M.Rose]

Hello Everyone ,

I did for my study permit on 6th June, 2018 online but till date no single update has been made to my application. I haven't also received any communication from IRCC on the same.

I had done an upfront medical examination which I submitted together with the application but it's also not updated yet. I wrote to them on 8th of July on the Web form but they haven't responded to date. Their immigration office in Kenya can't assist either.

I called IRCC using the self service line and they say online applications before 18th June are processed but proceed to say mine is still being processed.

School starts on September 3rd and it's really stressing me up as the school intake runs yearly meaning failure to join this September will mean I wait till next year September.

Please Advise

Hi, I have applied online on June 11, the only update I received from them is that they are reviewing my eligibility, I had this update July 14, and since they are reviewing. I would recommend to wait a week after the submission of web form, if not received an answer, send a new form.

Based on your nationality, you can also track the processing time for people from your country: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp

It's been over two weeks no response
I hail from Kenya which they say normal processing time is 4 weeks , it's now 8 weeks and no single update.

I'm worried as school starts in exactly 4 weeks.

To be on safer side, contact school and apprise them with visa situation. They might defer you for Winter 2019 session. Good luck !

Sadly the course has a yearly based intake hence the next intake is September, 2019. But I'll write to the school.

Its either CIC are experiencing backlogs of applications or having a more than usual volumes of applications.

CIC how aware about most June applicants are to resume classes in September and so all applications prior to September resumption would be processed before then.

Of recent, CIC has been very slow on decisions especially for online applicants which if you ask most January-April applicants against May resumption, their wait was even beyond unimaginable.

All that can be done now is to wear patience as in my "guess," most applications for September resumption will begin to get update from August but this is not to say any update won't come before then

If your processing time hasn't exceed the normal duration, don't look desperate and stay clear of sending an early morning reminders to CIC about your application, EXCEPT it has exceeded and/or a biometrics call up hasn't being undergone from 1-10days prior to submission which should be done with haste

The wait is unbearable which is generally known but a decision will surely be made to all applications

It's really unbearable. I have paid fees to book a seat in my program and less than four weeks to go and no word from them is really stressing me up.

I really don't understand how applications done in July have already been approved. And no single update for as early as April applications. Online or paper we should all be treated equally since its part of their system.

I get your feelings absolutely, There are many applicant opting for online application than paper route cause such delays is global for online applications I think cause such trend everywhere

if your application has exceed the given time duration by CIC, kindly send them a warm reminder don't just sit and relax anymore

Hello,
I am Nigerian and I applied for a study permit via online application on the 12th of June, 2018, with no upfront medicals.
Since biometrics I have received no messages from ircc. My application status has remained stagnant. No request for medicals or anything.
I contacted my university and told them my situation and they gave me till the 13th of September and theyll give up my residence space.
I am just wondering if my application processing time goes beyond the resumption date of my university will it be automatically rejected?

No, you won't be rejected rather if a decision is to be meant after exceeding your resumption date, the VO "might or not" request for a new admission letter from you to get the job completely done. Relax yourself, that shouldn't be a problem EXCEPT your school don't offer deferments
