Update on my application.

I completed upfront medical test on 17th Feb and applied for visa on 3rd March.
My biometrics status got updated on 5th March but medical wasn't updated.
I submitted 2nd webform to Bangalore VO on May 18th regarding my medical status.

They have responded today, this is what they have said.

Anyone knows if it's worth applying (for the permit) right now if my country is in obligatory lockdown, including VFS for biometrics and the centre for the medical exam? I'm not sure how much time I have to submit those things, nor when my country's lockdown will be lifted.
I'm still not sure if I'm deferring.

Hi everyone,

I have been facing delays in my student visa application for September 2020 intake.
Current processing time for application of study permit from India on IRCC is given 1 week.

I completed my upfront medical on 17th February 2020.
I submitted my visa application on 3rd March 2020.
I completed my biometrics on 5th March 2020.
My visa application status is in progress
while my biometric status is completed.
However, My medical test status hasn't been updated yet.

I'm observing some applicants are receiving visa in spite of Coronvirus outbreak all over the globe.
I'm worried because people who applied for visa 5 days after my application are receiving visa for May and September Intakes.

I'm opening this thread to call out people with same concern.
If you are in the same boat please comment here and share your timeline and progress.
I had applied paper application in Feb for may 2020 but now got deferred to sept intake. My medical was updated on 4th march. After that its only showing processing. Im also really worried now after waiting for soo long.

Anyone here from the Philippines? I have just received my Letter of Acceptance last week for the September intake but I haven't submitted my study permit application yet as I am still gathering requirements. Do you think I will be able to make it or should I just defer to January intake?
