Similar timeline as me.

Applying from Jamaica

Online app submitted: Feb 18th
BIL: Feb 19
Biometrics updated : Feb 23

Waiting game begins now. I'm also for sept intake. I applied early because the processing time from my country has gone up to 26 weeks!

I’m not touching my gckey until I get an email notif lol don’t wanna sacrifice my sanity because I was doing the same a few days ago. It’s probably gonna take a minimum of 2 weeks or so to get medical updated due to heavy backlog of applications.

Processing time from here is 19 weeks if I am not mistaken. The agony of waiting! My sanity is slowly walking out the door.

This seems like a logical thing to do, I also do not know what I expect to see in the gckey when I have not received any email notification. *sigh* The waiting game is killing me!!!

YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Hahaha I’ve been constantly checking my gckey account every 2 hours if not every 30 minutes since I did my biometrics last Feb. 21 ‍

Hahhahah! I dont know why, but reading that someone else also does this make me seem less crazy.
And to imagine we are still early in the game. Yikes It's gonna be tough trying to restrain from logging in so many times.

Just focus on doing something else I guess? Watch Netflix/YouTube, study something or prepare yourself for your future studies. I know it’s hard not to check the status of your application but if it happens you’ll get an email so why even bother going through the hassle haha we’ll get through this

No judgements here hahaha Better to be early than deferring the intake because the study permit did not get approved on time right? With all the delays nowadays, wise thing to be early.

I'm not a 100% sure. I think it depends on the country you are applying from. Try and find the application package specific for your countryon the cic website. The document checklist will tell you all you need to submit in support of your application.

Hey! I'm thrilled to hear that we're going for the same college and intake. Let's connect!!! It looks like the Manila office is handling your application that's why the response is immediate. For me, there is no movement in my app after my biometrics update. It's making me anxious huhu

Hello, kumusta? Yes, let’s keep each other updated. What course are you going to get in Centennial? My application hasn’t moved yet after my post days ago, it’s still on the “medical passed” and “review of eligibility” part. Let’s all stay positive, I know waiting for the results can be anxiety-inducing at times but let’s all hope for the best in our applications

My best friend’s also applying with me (separate application but also in Centennial College, May 2021 intake and same course) to Canada but she hasn’t lodged her application yet, maybe first week of March.
