I have applied for my study permit on mid of July. I am from Egypt but my online application is being processed at Ankara visa office. The average processing time in my country is 3-4 weeks according to CIC website, however, more than 7 weeks passed and I only got the confirmation of receiving my biometrics. I sent them a case-specific enquiry a month ago (after the normal processing time ) and their response was that my application is being reviewed by outside agencies and they couldn't expedite this process. I would like to know is this normal or there is some delay in processing my application? and what can I do in this case? the courses have already started but the academic advisor told me that I can arrive till mid of October.
