This is my timeline:
Offline - General

Medical on 11th March
Biometrics on 20th March
Application reached Bangalore IRCC on 21st March
Application linked on 28th March
Medical Oass on the CIC page on April 4

No update since then.
No Biometrics letter.
hey, don't worry bro you are not alone, most people are on same boat, everyone is waiting for an update. But no updates from IRCC yet for many, i wonder what's going on with them and why are they not processing the applications. They haven't even updated processing times this week, which they usually do on every tuesday IST.

Hello guys I applied offline under sds on 28th of march and I got refusal yesterday by mentioning following reasons. Could anyone help me to analyse this reason.


Given your previous education and/or employment history, I am not satisfied that the
motivation to pursue this particular program at this point in time in Canada is reasonable.

My profile
1)Matriculation. 60.25% from Nepal 2010
2)+2 56% from Nepal 2012
3)Advanced Certificate In computer Application 78© from India 2014
5)BCA . 70%( GURU NANAK DEV UNIVERSITY)
6) ADVANCED WEB DESIGNING. 75% . (UGC)
7) EXPERIENCE ( 18 MONTHS) AS A WEB DEVELOPER

8) IELTS overall 6.5 (each 6)

9) Citizen INDIAN

Applied for Cloud computing September intake 2019

Thanks and regards

I agree. I have only gotten the medical update till now, online SDS Visa though. They are delaying a lot. I wonder if it’s because of the elections and multiple holidays in April.

Bro, you got an email stating that you were approved, or you checked your cic account where the message Approved has been displayed, Also can you please tell the time at which you have seen the update?
I got an email from CIC that you have new message in your account on 17 April at 12:15 am then my agent says it approved.
