Try to get in touch with IRCC. I did the same & they’d mentioned that it’d be done in 4-7 weeks as of April 7th. 4.5 weeks in now. Wishing y’all the best & hoping y’all are approved!
How did you get in touch with the IRCC? Webform?

Hi. Yes I have already received PPR last May 14. It took our application 7 months before receiving the decision.
Congratulations, good to know that.
What do you think was the reason for the delay? did they ask for additional documents? And also from which country had you applied?

Thanks! I applied from the Philippines. I actually dont know the reason for the delay ‘cause they didn’t request anything from me.

Oh that sucks, I feel like the whole process is so messy. My friend applied for the same permit 2 weeks earlier and got accepted within 3 weeks and it’s been about a month for me and still no update…

I applied for non sds study permit on 5th April and had upfront medical and biometrics updated on 10th April. Anyone has applied through non sds recently? How long did it take to receive your permit? Share please
Did you get you study permit visa? is there any need for English test for non-sds?
