But some of my friends got their visa in 20-30 days. How that is possible?
Is the delay in my file means I got rejected? Or it’s due to COVID.

I don’t think that a delay means your file is rejected, my timeline is almost the same as yours (check my signature) and I’ve also not received a decision as of yet. But people from India who recently gave their biometrics received a reply regarding their file in the past 2 days. We’re all just waiting rn hopefully we’ll get an answer soon, don’t worry too much about being rejected without a proper reply from the IRCC.

BVL is the Biometrics Validation Letter which states that your biometrics are valid for 10 years from the date you submitted it, since you gave your biometrics before I’m assuming you received such a letter when you applied for the visitor visa, although I’m not so sure if you need to get another one since this is my first time applying for a study permit I’m not well versed in what should happen, someone more knowledgeable will be able to help you.

Nd if I get this BVL now than it’s sure that I got ppr ?
No, you can only be sure once you get the decision. Back some time if you receive bvl and no decision along with it, then in most cases it was ppr and usually the rejections was issued along with bvl. Now it is unpredictable, you can only be sure once you receive the decision.

Is BVL a letter format or what? In my account it shows the date on which my biometrics was completed and shows its valid for 10 years..is this a BVL or BVL is something else?? Kindly advise

Yes it’s a form of a letter. Which has the date when you gave your fingerprints and the validity of it. Will have your address on top left and the embassy address on the bottom left.

Ok thanks dear.. though I can not see any address either mine or the embassy address..its in my profile written under the applicant information heading.. biometrics completion date and its validity. I think it's not BVL just a brief info on it.

Then you didn’t receive a BVL! There’s a difference between profile update and a letter received.
