raising webform won't do anything because I've tried it about 5 times now. they come up with the same generic response.
But we cant sit without doing anything! So we must rage on and see where it goes. Otherwise we will start cooking from inside out. I am so depressed but need to keep the hopes high until the decision is made otherwise I will become bitter. It sounds like gyan, but what else can we do?

one theory I have now is that these morons have mixed early-mid Aug applications with the Fall 2021 intake. this means that they believe that we are also doing online classes and can do so until 31 Dec 2021. in that case, expect a delay till November end at least (completely baseless, just my opinion).
I think ur right.

I will wait for 2 more days, then I will ask my consultant to raise webform and I will inform IRCC Twitter like 10 times to checkin on our files. What else can we do? :confused:
I tried bro, here as well they don't give any proper response.. see below -

@DVenus6591 Hi. The social media team does not have access to your application/personal information for privacy reasons. We cannot respond to case-specific questions, including processing questions, over DM. This means we cannot provide an update on your immigration application or comment on the processing of your case or processing timelines. We will not respond to any questions that relate to this. Sorry we can’t be of more help.

This is what they replied on twitter..

Hey, everyone. I've already talked about this here, but there's something seriously weird going on with Brazilian SDS applications. I was wondering if @someone from India/China/Phillippines etc who's recently been approved by Edmonton's office could volunteer to help us by sharing their study plan/letter of explanation with me (feel free to leave out your personal info).

I am part of the main Brazilian SDS online community and, so far, not a single applicant there has been granted study permit approval by Edmonton's office (versus 6 or 7 refusals in the past week, all based on purpose of visit). The weirdest part: more than one applicant had had their non-SDS study permit approved by IRCC's office in Brazil earlier this year, but were refused subsequently by the CPC in Edmonton when submitting a new application under the SDS to study the same program at a different institution (a practically identical application!).

We believe that the study plan/LoE might have the key, and is what has been causing all these refulsals. Maybe Edmonton's CPC is using AI to analyze applications, I don't know. We just can't sit and watch this streak of refusals get higher and higher everyday, and wait for the first ATIP to come out to give us some kind of hope. So, if you've been approved by Edmonton's office or you know someone who has, please send me a PM.

I follow this guy on quora who used to be an IRCC visa officer. Someone asked him a question about how VOs keep track of their tasks etc.

He said that GCMS sends them report/reminder everyday about files still opened etc. Lol. Why they lazy bunch don't just settle the backlog first before moving on to newer files, they are the ones responsible for those ridiculous backlogs numbers that the new Minister has to deal with now.

Maybe, it's just taking a very long time, one thing for sure is that they have to give us results for our applications.

TBH I applied SDS due to the fact that it's supposed to be faster than non-SDS, if I know it's taking this long, I will choose to apply non-SDS since it will be processed by my country local Office and not Edmonton or Ottawa, and local office here is not so busy since everyone is applying under SDS and I've seen people getting visa much faster this route (non-SDS) lmao.

Sorry for the rambling but the wait is getting on my nerve haha.

yeah, just goes to show how much competition there is. Except this time, the criteria for choosing applications are baseless.

Mine too!!
Exactly! Nobody is working on this series!

Tbh I think the day they updated our medical, they are supposed to give us our results too but somehow somewhere someone or something happened and this series is left hanging up until this moment. Thousand of us not just the few of us here in this forum.

So frustrated!

makes sense, but if they were to give our results then BVL should've come.. right?
