Hi everyone, I'm a little worried, I've applied to study permit from outside of Canada on 22 March 2024, I've given mi biometrics on 27 March 2024, the last update that I've received in my application status tracker and IRCC profile was on 28 March 2024 biometrics complete, since that my background verification is in progress and my review of eligibility isn't start yet and I haven't received any update.

Is that normal? Is anyone in the same situation? What do you advise me to do? What do tou think about this?

Hello, I applied on June 2nd, I have passed the medical exams and I have given the biometrics. I have not got any additional update and my application is in the background verification step. Well, I applied as a student and my husband applied for working permit. My classes start on August 26th and I am still waiting. I think we could create a whatsapp group with people applying to study permit as main applicant.

What program? Country applied from? Medical request? You still need to factor in passport stamping. It is possible that your applications will be processed and decided on separately. There are many threads on delayed processing.

If you still need to do medical (if required), you should contact school about deferring.

Data Analytics Master. I applied from Colombia (Bogota DC). We did upfront medical exams. I already contacted the university, but they have not replied yet.

Good day guys, I'm worried, because I applied for my student visa since May 20th and did my biometrics/ medicals on May 22nd and up till now I haven't received a response from IRCC. Like nothing at all.
Please I just wanted to know whether this is a general issue cuz I was hearing something like study processing times has increased and ircc is facing Student Visa backlogs
