I applied on May 1st by online non-sds in US and completed biometrics on May 9th. However it has been almost 90 days I still got no response. I tried to contact them through webform, in early June they replied that my file need additional verifications and last week they said my file is in queue for review. Does anyone have similar situation with me? How long do I have to wait for their decisions...?
non-sds processing has been more than 90 days

- Start date
I'm from China but applied in United States, my file is under reviewed in Ottawa's office now not in my country. The expected duration in Canada's office is 5 weeks.which country are you from? whats the expected duration for your country?
They just said the additional verification is needed and never asked for additional files. I think they have completed the verifications but I have totally no idea how long do i have to waitno since you applied from usa you should use the processing time for usa
but yea your application is very long. they told you they needed additional verification for your case? exactly what did they ask? cause right now im suspecting they doubt the legitimacy of your application. almost everyone on this forum do not get asked for additional files.
but ofc it may just be a minor issue that is totally unrelated. take note that applying from a country other than your home country MAY affect your approval chances. it has happened to quite a number on this forum
My visa application submitted on 10th july and biometrics updated on 15th july.further i got acknowledgement on 24th july that your application is being reviewed.i applied under non sds category with 6 band not less than 5.5 in one module.
The reason is that I was working in United States so I could't go back to China on May. Also my IELTS has already expired and I didn't want to take a new IELTS test again so I choose regular online application instead of SDS.unfortunately since you said they have already replied to your webform they is really no choice but to wait
you still have easily more than 3 weeks to go so dont worry too much. but be prepared to contact your uni just in case you really have to defer to winter
is there a particular reason why you didnt apply from china through sds?
No, my status in US is student and I have 3 years optional practical training(OPT, which allows students to work in US) to use. After graduation in June last year I got a job offer so I choose to stay and work in US for sometimes. I applied for Master of Computing and Software just because I'm not completely satisfied my current role and want to learn something more.ok i will need you to clarify certain things
are you a long term resident of usa? what course did you apply for? why are you working in usa?
not trying to scare you but you definitely have a higher chance to get rejected based on family ties and country of residence thingy based on what i can see lol
Not exactly, I used to learn software engineering and the new course is more about machine learning, data analytics...i see. are you changing course?
I'm at 79 days. Applied May 14th. I'm also outside my home country. I'm a US citizen, but living in India with my husband who is an Indian citizen. We applied for his OWP as well, but said in our SOP that we will be returning to the US after studying in Canada and not returning to India. We have a complicated application, but I never thought it would take 79 days! We've sent 2 webforms but both went unanswered.
Do you know where is your application got processed? You can send email to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca this address, it sometimes has a fast reply than webform.I'm at 79 days. Applied May 14th.

I think we all got background check so that's why it takes so slow...I'm at 79 days. Applied May 14th. I'm also outside my home country.

It is being processed in Delhi. I don't need a background check as a US citizen, but I believe my husband's is why it is taking time.I think we all got background check so that's why it takes so slow...
