Hi All,
I am an Indian citizen and have applied for a student visa under the SDS category for a Master's course at Toronto based college. My timelines are as follows -

Application Received : 27 November 2020
Biometrics done : 7th December 2020
Medical updated : 22 January 2021 (Raised a web form to get it updated via Thailand)
Eligibility review started : 9th March 2021

Post that there is no update, I have started my studies online, and looking at a general trend all my fellow batchmates have received a decision on their application within 2 days of the start of eligibility review.

Now I am starting to freak out as there is no communication from IRCC. Can anyone guide what can be done to get a status or expedite the decision?

Also, I have heard from people in my college WhatsApp group that raising a webform pushes your application back by few days as it shows there is a new update in the application and hence I am afraid of raising one to get a confirmation, wanted your thoughts if this is true? If Yes, can i call up IRCC helpline to get the status?
 
There is no way to expedite an application, raising a webform won't make any difference. Why have you started your studies online without a valid study permit? Some of us have deferred up to 1 year due to delays in getting approval.
 
Unfortunately Yes, I have started studying, only option is to defer to the next intake in case I don't get visa by month-end.
 
I applied around the same time you did, and it took a while for me to get PPR after my eligibility review began. So it could take until the end of the month or even longer. You need to be prepared with a Plan-B (Deferral)

What does this mean "(Raised a web form to get it updated via Thailand) " ? Do you live in Thailand or did you sent webform to thailand? if yes then may I ask you why?

There was a hack people identified that in order to get medical updated fast (back in January) when things were not moving, raising webform via Thailand would do it fast within a week, everyone else did this as well who already have received PPR now.

Yesterday,, I called up CIC helpline they mentioned that the application is in progress,
Eligibility - review required
Criminality - passed
Security - Under progress

Don't know why it's taking long.
