Hi.
Last year I applied as you did. I will give you exact dates, hope it helps to you to compare processing times in a normal year and during covid:

Correspondence Letter (final result)August 14, 2019
Correspondence Letter (biometric)August 13, 2019
Biometrics Collection LetterJuly 5, 2019
Submission ConfirmationJuly 4, 2019
Confirmation of Online Application TransmissionJuly 4, 2019

As you can see, I received the final results next day from receiving the biometrics confirmation. My results were negative, and as far as I know, everything on my application was fine (demonstrated the money, the reasons why I wanted to study, I demonstrated to have a job and reasons to return to my country). It depends on the person who evaluates the application and all the information you gave: your family ties, proof of found, etc. But I wish you the best of the lucks. I would tell you that It seems that your study permit is going to be approved, but, I thought that too last year and I was rejected. So be patient, maybe you receive your results tomorrow. Please, let us know how it went =D.

Wow, I was rejected because of a LOT of reasons. Here the list:

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your travel history.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the length of your proposed stay in Canada.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the limited employment prospects in your country of residence.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your current employment situation.
• Pursuant to paragraph 220(a) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the tuition fees for the course or program of studies that you intend to pursue.
• Pursuant to paragraph 220(b) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to maintain yourself and any family members who are accompanying you during your proposed period of study.
• You have not provided sufficient documentation to support your or your host's income and assets

Actually, some of those reasons were unfounded, I do know because I hired a professional immigrant advisor and she told me that the application looked good. In my first attempt, my husband and I applied together (he wanted the open work permit). This time I applied alone, and as a resume, I changed the following:
1.- I applied alone.
2.- Travel to Canada for 1 week to have a travel history.
3.- Changed the college program.
4.- Changed my explanation letter.
5.- Changed some details in my application forms (I saw a video with common errors and I corrected them)


I think that's it. Hope it helps. ^^

Here the exact dates for this year, during covid:

SubjectDate sent
Correspondence Letter (study permit approval, again)October 30, 2020
Correspondence Letter (study permit approval)October 29, 2020
Correspondence Letter (biometrics acceptance)October 29, 2020

I am not the one who started this post by the way, just sharing my processing times in case is helpful for someone.
Be patient!!, they will answer soon. Stay aware of the list of COVID certified colleges, because immigration officers are first processing students attending classes on those colleges.

Best of the lucks.
