Hey Everyone
I recently got my Study Permit for Fall 2019. I was lucky to get it in 10 days under Non-SDS. Maybe because I applied early.
My profile:
B.tech in IT 70%
7 years experience in Digital Marketing
8.5 on IELTS
Got admission at McGill University in an Arts Masters course. I noticed that people often post queries here but there are seldom posts with a follow up on what happened. And there are not many who post the complete timeline of the process.
Below is mine if it can help someone. I will check on this post whenever possible and respond to reasonable questions.

Remember guys. The standard processing time is 45 days but it actually depends on a LOT of variable. Just ensure to get your paperwork right. Leave the rest to the good folks at IRCC and maybe some luck.
