The high commission office is closed but officers are working on applications remotely.
But they aren’t giving the decisions right? I yet have to come across claims backed with a post and profile where someone got their decision recently.
 
And may i know the source of this information? Provided that zero PPRs have been given since they stopped biometrics etc.
Hey in your signature, as you are unsure if a new visa will be affixed, i think this might interest you:

Once the officer is satisfied that the applicant has met all eligibility and admissibility requirements, they should do the following:

  • enter the final decision
  • issue a letter of introduction indicating the document number and the recommended validity period
  • indicate the recommended conditions in the “User Remarks” box in the Global Case Management System (GCMS) (see Conditions and user remarks)
  • ensure an electronic travel authorization (eTA) has been generated and authorized if required
  • issue a temporary resident visa (TRV) if required
    • It is not permitted to cancel any valid pre-existing visa in the passport if the purpose for which it was obtained remains valid (e.g., a bona fide business person holding a long-term multiple-entry TRV who requires a short-term study permit).
    • If there is a pre-existing TRV (e.g., V-1 or B-1) valid for a period longer than the period of the study permit, it is not necessary to affix a second counterfoil to the passport with the coding S-1. Visas should be issued for multiple entries, and be valid for the same period as the study permit or the passport, whichever is shorter (unless otherwise specified in the IC 2 chapter). Officers will need to consult with the appropriate officer in their respective office to determine whether the student is from a country classified under the Visitor Information Transmission (VIT) category, as described in chapter IC 2.

Hey, thanks a lot for sharing this information. I wasn't able to find it on my own. Anyways, I guess they will be issuing me a new TRV. I got to know this from another member who was on the same boat and he got a PPR.

Yeah they could. Most probably due to to the different nature of visas (the one u had vs the one you would be issued).

I applied for my sister under SDS on May 27 got PPR on May 28. Hope it helps

So this means her file was approved in 1 day? Surely happy for the applicant but sounds too good to be true. Did she file her application in India? It would help most waiting here calm their nerves a little.
