Hi everyone,

I applied for my study permit (outside Canada) in December 2024. It has been more than 7 months and my application is still under review for background check. I applied from a country where the average processing period for the study permit is 3 weeks as per their website.

They asked me for additional documents in January 2025. These documents include my CV and military service. I submitted these documents on the same day. They sent me an email saying that they have started reviewing my additional documents in April 2025.

I deferred my university intake once to Fall 2025 instead of Summer 2025.

I sent several requests to the embassy through the IRCC web form, and they told me that my application is under review for background check and that there is nothing they can do.

Could you please tell me what should I do?

It is worth noting that this week, I asked a website to get me the GCMS notes from IRCC and CBSA, just to know what is going on, and I am still waiting for them.
 
What is your country of citizenship and when countries have you lived in? If still in background check then IRCC is waiting for immigration/security information from those countries so processing times really are not followed.
