My wife requested a deferral today for the January 2023 intake because she still has not received a decision from IRCC. Application sent on March 5 and still nothing... it's incredible how slow they can be.

Best of Luck !!

It is just so weird. There is absolutely no order on how applications are processed. Some categories have people waiting since Mar/Apr 2021 and Files from Dec 2021 and Jan 2022 got decisions. Crap

I submitted my application with my wife and son for Fall 2022 last May 4. Not a single update since then. I'm starting to wonder if I should already defer to January 2023 since the timelines are already getting too tight.

Even if we get approved by mid July, resignation timelines for our work will be very very tight

I really do believe it has more to do with where you have submitted your application over the entire group.

As I keep hearing countries that are new to the SDS program (Peru/Brazil) as having their applications passed in the timeline that matches Canada's website which is 20 calendar days.

As if IRCC has different groups working on different countries applications.

I am applying from China and it seems like China and India are very similar in timeframes, there are some lucky few who get through in a shorter time but then the normal applications process is somewhere around 13-14 weeks.

I have already applied once and got rejected via SDS and received an answer back on the 15th week after submission for applying with my whole family which I believe was the reason it took a little longer and the reason I got rejected.

This time round I have reapplied and still waiting.

Application - 9th April 2022
No new updates since then.

So I am in the 10th week waiting and I do believe I should get an answer back within 4 -5 weeks from now.

I think the way that they work is they work on a week by week application process for the largest population applications (India/China/Pakistan)

So for example those IRCC workers go in to work on Monday and then say to each other "Okay who applied 14 weeks ago?" and start working through all the Monday applications 14 weeks ago.

That's at least what it seems like they doing as watching this forum for so long, it was pretty predictable when certain applications were going to get an answer back.

So I would say if you are not getting an answer back after say 16 weeks via SDS then you should start to worry and try to get hold of IRCC as the application probably went missing.

Applied May 5th
Biometrics May 17th
Approved May 31st
SDS -from Peru

You didn't need to do a medical for Peru?

My friend is also applying (non-sds) from Peru and did the biometric a month ago. Haven't heard anything since then.

edit: just got the medical request

If you are still waiting for your LOA, that means you haven't even applied for the Study Permit with IRCC. If you applied today and IRCC made a decision in 12 weeks, you wouldn't be able to start your studies at the beginning of September.

Study your University's dates and policies to decide whether you try to get a decision before September or you choose to defer your intake to January. In any case, my advice would be to hurry up.

Agree... I believe the response time has more to do with the place from which you apply. Also, remember that IRCC sometimes sends applications to other Visa Offices around the world to distribute better their workload. My wife's first application was sent to Warsaw and then returned to Buenos Aires (at least I think so because the ATIP notes were not clear at all).

In this link you can check which Visa Office should be processing your application:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/offices/international-visa-offices.html

It says that for Indonesia, the VO is in Jakarta. Also, note that sometimes applications from one VO are sent to a different VO for work distribution purposes as far as I know.

There is no fixed timeline for the eligibility review to start, the only timeline reference is the current application processing time that stands at 12 weeks.

My wife is also going to Fanshawe but she requested a deferral a couple of days ago because she didn't want to pay the first year tuition without having received a decision from IRCC:

Good luck!
