I applied for non sds study permit on 5th April and had upfront medical and biometrics updated on 10th April. Anyone has applied through non sds recently? How long did it take to receive your permit? Share please
I submitted my study permit on 22th March, biometrics completed on 28th march, since that my background verification is in progress and my eligibility not started yet, 4 months without an update
