Thanks, yeah I submitted photos with the initial application. But for wahtever reason we got a letter requesting we send them in physically. Same specificatoins. I got new ones done just in case because the specification sheet ssays they must not be older than 6 months so wasn't sure if my old...

Hi, I passed my medical in August 28th. I then got PAL Sep 3rd and have had request for photos to be posted ot my local VAC for finalisation of my COPR - I'm Outland, I think there's a big difference in processing depending on where your application is processed. Inlands seem to be going...

Any Outland applicants recieved the 'Information Letter' (this has arrived a week after the PAL)? I think it's the equivalent to the Portal emails but for outland applicants... the opening to the letter states: "The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost...

Thakns for the help, but unfortunately I still can't type anything onto this spreadsheet. I've tried multiple internet browsers, and different devices including two laptops..... not really sure what the issue is but at least I can still access it to see everyone else's progress. Thanks again.

Hi, This sheet is great thanks. I can;t seem to add my details on it though, only view i.e. I don;t seem to have editing access. Is this problem at my end?

That;s great to hear. Unfortunately I have no idea how long it usually takes, but would really appreciate it if you could keep us updated about timescales when things start to happen? It's so hard to get any firm idea about timeframes from IRCC/CIC

Thanks a lot Rosey Best of luck to you as well - I'm sure it won't be long now.... hopefully London is pulling up it's socks! :)

Hi gbu Got my permit approvals today, so London is working. I also sent an Urgent email to them yesterday explaining that I needed to make University housing decisions by the end of today so that might have helped, not sure. Good Luck

Got our Permits through today so London is working, just about 4 - 6 weeks behind. Good Luck everyone.

Well there's irony for you..... I just got my Study Permit and my partners Work Permit approvals through :D So that is 13 weeks and 3 days. I'm not sure whether it had anything to do with the third email I sent yesterday stating it was becoming urgent for me (I had to make a decision about...

And the icing on the cake is that CIC have just updated their quarterly Processing Times on their website (for study permits at least) http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp/students.asp. They cover from July 2012 to 30th June 2013 and they've dropped London down 1 week from 8...

I've still heard nothing (over 13 weeks now)- I'll be emailing them again on Monday as they'll be over their 28 day response time to Case Specific email queries, so hopefully I'll get some sort of update and let you know.

It's definitely affecting London - 13 weeks and counting, should have been 8-10 weeks. It's very much a Post Code Lottery!

They state that they'll get in touch within 28 days, in the auto response I received for my case specific query. Though I'm currently at 23 days and yet to have a response, so they're clearly very backlogged :(

I applied for a Study Permit (for myself) and an Open Work Permit (for my spouse) on May 7th... not had any decision as yet. So that's 13 weeks now for me. I applied Online through London. I also emailed a few weeks back and haven't had a response yet besides that standard "we will reply...

Just wondering if any one has had any contact from the London visa office in recent days? I've been waiting for 13 weeks since I applied for my Study Permit online (standard processing time 8-10 weeks) and they have yet to respond to my email query made 3 weeks ago... would love to know that...

Nothing. I've been waiting 12 weeks exactly since I applied online. I also emailed at week 10 and I've had no response. I was supposed to fly out at the end of this week but I don't see that happening now. :(

Congratulations Doda!!

I'll keep you updated - at least you'll have a recent idea of where processing times really stand then.

Hi I'm a British citizen so I don't need a TRV just wating on a study permit and I hit the 11 week mark tomorrow. I applied online on May 7th. Queried it at week 8 and was told it's being processed. They are definitely running behind :( I also applied for TWP for my spouse so maybe this is...
