There's nothing you can do but wait. It's actually not unusual for processing to take a few months. This has happened to many people on this forum.

Thank you for reply Scylla. This is the second time i applied for the visa. The first time they reached a decision within 1 week. I was refused and my school in Canada decided to apply on my behalf. Now its 12 weeks without decision. The lawyer is preparing to file a case i the Federal Court of Canada for my situation and i fear this will take much longer.

Whoa !! 12 weeks for a 3 week VISA . Shoot out a mail to your visa office . Same thing happened to me in India . Due to some technical difficulties , They had forgotten to issue my VISA and just kept it at Hold . I was approved in 4 days after filing my application but they couldn't give it to me due to some difficulty . The best thing to do right now is to send out a mail .

My lawyer already sent them a mail almost 4 weeks ago but they still did not reply. I don't know what the hell is going on. According to my lawyer next week he will file a case at Federal Court of Canada but i think it will take much more time. I don't know what to do at this point. I am just waiting a positive answer from the court. Hopefully!!!!

Federal Court will take months.

If your lawyer is suggesting filing a case with the Federal Court as a reaction to your application processing taking too long - I would consider finding another lawyer.

What do your notes say? Has your lawyer ordered them?

I think he did not order the notes, but i am not sure. According to him it will take 2 weeks after filling the case to get an innitial response from the court.
