so i emailed ircc ottawa again last night saying that my case is urgent cause I already paid 12k, my classes have started, there are no deferrals and refunds and no more online courses for the following semesters... so if you don't give me a visa soon, I have to drop out, I have to re-apply for the next intake and I lose my 12k.
they replied in less than 12 hours saying: "In order to respond to the high volume of enquiries related to the situation in Afghanistan we have shifted resources in our Client Support Centre and are responding to priority enquiries only."
IRCC ladies and gents!
