I applied from UAE.

It's been 8 weeks since I applied, till now I didn't receive any updates. It's getting really frustrating not receiving any decision yet.

Do you think that the applications that are taking time to receive a decision, has a higher chance of approval?
Well there are 2 points:
1. They definitely don’t take this long to reject in most cases, so this is a positive
2. If its taking this long, then probably it should be a good news.

But yeah. Can’t say anything about these guys’ patterns.

True, we can expect anything from them these days. Let's just hope our application will get approved soon!!!

Amen to that! Keep us posted. I had called New Delhi visa office but they have no clue. I don’t know if it’s a good idea to call the IRCC Canada office. Trying won’t harm!
Yesterday I called IRCC Canada, I asked about my application, but unfortunately they weren't authorised to release any information for applications outside of Canada, they told me to call the nearest visa office (my visa office is Abu Dhabi).

That’s too bad. This is maybe because your file might be with your local office only. I saw a lot of people from Middle east and India call IRCC canada. If what they told here is right, they were able to get detailed info on the application (given it was being processed in Canada).

Maybe that could be the reason, though it is better to at least try calling IRCC Canada once, it could be a hit or miss, you never know. If you do call them, please let me know if they gave you any detailed information regarding your application.

No update from me. Eligibility has not even started. Still on background check since April 20th. London, UK office (I believe).

Question about GCMS notes. We all know it takes around 30 days, or more, to receive them. Is it worth submitting an application for the notes now, knowing that it takes at least a month to process, so that if there were a visa refusal we wouldn't be waiting for so long for the GCMS notes?
Thoughts?

Hi
Did you apply from your self ?
I need help I am going to apply by my self,
I am going to apply for study permit by non sds program,
My queries,
I need to scan original documents only
Or
I need to scan original documents with notarized photocopy?

when I filled my application they did not ask me to submit medical or Police clearance certificate?
How can I add upfront medical if they did not ask me
what does it mean upfront medical ?

After then ty can ask original documents?

Thanks very much for your time.
Went thru a lot of threads and I realized that: taking the medical upfront would be the best option to reduce processing time, I saw a lot of ppl have been stuck with "waiting for medical request" :(

1. Scan all the original documents. You only need to notarize those documents not written in English so you need to translate them first and get notarizations on.
2. Looking for IOM (International Organization for Immigration) at your local country where has a medical examination service for immigration purpose.
3. You will need Police Clearances aka Criminal Reports from every country you stayed in for more than 6 months in the past.
4. Merge PDF files and upload them, VO will read and understand.

I advise you to do the application by yourself. however, DO NOT LIE OR TRY TO MISREP'.
be honest with your application. include anything that will help your profile. for example:
1- Transcripts
2- English tests
3- professional experience for the companies and/or recommendation letter for work or universities.
4- affidavit from your financial supporter.

as for upfront medical, you are required to do it before you apply or when request by IRCC. but if you applied dont do it until asked.
