Hi! Sorry for the late reply. Yes I got the visa 4 hours before my flight. At the VFS they handed me a paper to write to explain why my situation was urgent. I also sent an email to them with my flight ticket attached. 3 hours later they replied stating that I could collect the passport the next day at the embassy which I did. Thankfully everything worked since then and now I have spent very nice few days in Vancouver . Have you received your visa yet? Hopefully you have, and when are you travelling?Hey @ravelena did you manage to get back your passport in time. Really hope you did!
Very happy to hear it went well. I’ve got mine too nowHi! Sorry for the late reply. Yes I got the visa 4 hours before my flight.

I feel the same but since I paid the first year tuition I can't not defer if I need to.Still waiting... The lack of updates or any activity on file is frustrating.
It's particularly worrying when it's been reported that the processing time is 1 week since we submitted 8 weeks ago.
We are beginning to worry it just won't be processed in time. We can't defer entry to a later date either. It's kind of a now or never thing for us.
What I don't understand is why they say to submit a 'case specific' enquiry but you don't get a case specific response.
Yeah no idea how they are done. Even from what I read on here when they start to review your eligibility that seems a positive thing but mine updated a week ago and nothing else since. See how this week ends...We have paid full tuition too. But luckily can get a refund if need be. I hope it doesn't come to that. Knowing you've ticked every box and it would come down to them simply not processing it in time is a real kick in the teeth.
I hope you hear soon. I wonder if they process them in batches. Something seems off.
I agree. From what I've seen on here that is when they seem to be moving along with the application. Decisions tend to come fairly quickly after that update it seems. Did you submit your complete application beginning of Feb?Yeah no idea how they are done.
