Dear Sam06 & taebbr, I am also in the queue & from Pak as well. Hope to have a positive result for all at the earliest. Good Luck

Good luck bro, I'm expecting a response this week as the stated 5 weeks should be over. Then I can start pestering them as much as I want, because they crossed their own deadline, let alone the one we've all been expecting.

I really hope although for my case I have lost hope. 8 weeks passed today and still they are verifiying...
Why cant they make decision (accept/reject) already instead of delaying it. So much pressure

Anyways best of luck to you and please do inform us when you get approval or update.

any update??
 
They're taking their time with this whole thing. They don't realize the amount of stress this can cause to somebody.
This is the problem...they are taking alot of time. I have totally given up on canada...my uni wont allow me after 21st sept.
I have seen so many applicants who applied after August 10 and got their study permit in other countries.

Did you email them?

I did not email them as i did not cross the normal processing time yet. However, i believe that you will get visa because the delays mean they are considering your case in my humble opinion.
 
Hey guys, spoke to a local former VISA officer for Canada and the UK. He obviously doesn't work there anymore but he told me that there was a student who lost respective acceptance and admittance to his university but still had his application approved. He went to Canada and found another University to apply to.
 
my problem is that I applied paper based so my passport is stuck. I cant even travel any one?
What should I do...? Shall I ask them to return my passport and ask for it when the final decision is made or wait for long??
 
As you are waiting since long, it is better to wait a little more if there is no need of urgent travelling somewhere. Hopefully you will get visa very soon, In sha Allah.

No updates.
Riyadh refuses to give proper details. I emailed them saying it's gone way beyond the processing times and all they said was my application needs further verification. What further verification do they need? In just a student trying to get started with my studies, like many of us here
