In this case, is it a good sign or not?
My program is a master’s in computer science with thesis at the University of Quebec in Montreal.

So you applied with CAQ, funds in personal accounts, language tests. Interview is not common at all.

Hello everyone,
I submitted my study permit (SP) application on May 13, 2024, and I still haven’t received a response. I ordered my GCMS notes to better understand the status of my application, and in the “Eligibility” section, it says “Recommended for Interview”.
This is very concerning for me, especially since I’ve noticed that most applicants from my country are not being asked to attend interviews. This leaves me completely lost. I will soon reach 7 months of waiting, and I don’t know what to do or what to expect.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation or have any advice to share? Should I be worried about the “Recommended for Interview” note, or is there a way this could be resolved without an interview?
Thank you in advance for your help!

I have been waiting since march end however I havent ordered GCMS notes and arent planning for it

So your GCMS notes say an interview is recommended so all you can do is wait.

Ah, okay, your school is located in Vancouver. But why do graduate applications take so long? I have deferred from winter, and my start date is in a month. I even submitted web forms, but they haven’t been processed. I am in a very concerning situation because my university does not accept a second deferral of admission.

What country are you from? Country of origin and doing a cybersecurity degree could have lead to the flag on your file. Very different situation than @lucifer7 who is not attending a public university.

“I am from Senegal. I earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science and applied for a master’s program. However, I noticed that most undergraduate applications receive a response within two months.”
