I think there must be serious delays at he London Office. I submitted a student Visa application Feb 1st, biometrics done Feb 18th and nothing since. My application statuses haven't changed from background check being processed. Driving me mad too - especially as the processing time shown is currently 1 week and has been for the past two.........

Yes total lottery. Took me 4 days last time 2 years ago. Now it’s literally same application, same situation and no changes but taking ages. Guess we are just the unlucky ones. Surely others are being processed faster which we are not aware of. Only the desperate ones like us will be on these forums looking to get some form of insight as the visa office is a dead end.I think there must be serious delays at he London Office.

I wonder if tweeting etc will help on their main page. I don’t have twitter so won’t be trying that.
Thanks Pezza, much appreciated!Hi sure will do.
Post extensive googling and going through other threads, I’ve come to the conclusion that it really is a jackpot lottery in how your application gets processed. The statuses change with no exact science to them. I’ve heard of cases where eligibility review and background check has not been shown to even be started but all updated in one go at end and visa approved. Guess they are not very proactive in updating the various statuses. All the best to everyone. Their service is truly ridiculous and non transparent. Least they could do is be a bit a more visible so alternative plans can be made rather than sweating up till the day you need to travel.
Hi SamC10, this sounds a little more extreme! Have you emailed them or sent a webform at all? It's been 3 months then :sI think there must be serious delays at he London Office.

I did the web form just got an email stating standard targets for study visas processed outside Canada are 2 months and to rest assured it's being processed. So not much insight.Hi SamC10, this sounds a little more extreme! Have you emailed them or sent a webform at all? It's been 3 months then :s
Tried visiting the embassy in London too. No use at all. They direct you to the VAC and say they don’t process visas at embassy. The VAC then say it’s at the embassy that they do the processing. The web forms are not much use either, they either don’t reply or reply saying it’s in process.
I will try this and let you guys knowI wonder if tweeting etc will help on their main page. I don’t have twitter so won’t be trying that.

Just wanted to update that my Review of Eligibility status has changed just today to 'We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.' Maybe yours have changed too! I think there is hope!
