[Dishi08]

I got two mails today morning, one was related to biometric and other was refusal letter

Could you all post visa office names too when u receive correspondence; this helps tracking..
Good luck to all those awaiting sp's

non-sds seems to gather better processing for some reason..

I applied via non-SDS from India (looking at the recent trends of faster processing) and generally non-sds apps are processed in New Delhi but I received my correspondence letter (BVL) from Ottawa.

On a thread here I recently saw fast processing in SDS too, I guess they got it in 20 days.

It's all so random, because I've seen others apply on the same date as mine via non-SDS and they received their approval the same day as I got my BVL whereas mine is stuck in the eligibility review stage since Sept 13th.

Thanks, noted.. .

Processing seems to be from multiple V.O -CPC [Ed] + CPC [O] are also processing most of the files from Asia..
NDVO is actively picking Non-SDS ..
Hard to strategize when and what..

Given the unprecedented interest in Canada; not only competition has increased; too much of routing at Visa offices also slows down the process..

hope for the best ~ Good luck all of you though*

Guys, I got refusal today
Reason - You will not leave canada.
UGGHH!!!!

Sorry to hear that. Don’t get discouraged. You have two months and a half before winter intake. You can still get the approval if you re-apply.

Sorry to hear that; can u let us know which visa office was this from ?

 

[Naturgrl]

Got the Refusal letter exactly after 8 weeks of Biometrics. Also, I don't know about reapplying right now, as the reason is very general i.e. purpose of your visit is not consistent with the temporary stay. I think I'll be ordering GCMS notes before reapplying, hence leaving the only option of deferment.

Good idea. Can mean many things - program not relevant to past education or advancing career to justify costs, ties to home country, job opportunities, funds etc.

So sorry to heat about the refusal.u can apply as soon as u receive the gcms notes.
