Hi,

You can read this thread for some info http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/student-visa-no-respond-from-new-york-embassy-t113721.0.html#lastPost

Student visa and work permit applications have same processing time 30-40 days but based on the embassy's website it says 2 months.

Hope you'll receive your passport soon :)

Hi,

For student permit processing time the link is here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp/students.asp

For TWP applicants the link is here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp/workers.asp

However when you check the website of CHC-NYC you'll find it minimum 30 days here's the link: http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/new_york/visas/processing-traitement.aspx?lang=eng&view=d

Did you send an email to the embassy? I received an email yesterday they were asking for US/CDN mailing address to send my passport back since I live in Turks Islands. Hopefully I'll get it soon. My husband and I applied for TWP received our applications by mail on July 13. I never email the embassy though :)

Hi,

Nope. They only asked for my US/CDN mailing address. Do you think it's not finalized yet? However at the end of their message they write this: "Your reply is important. Always refer to the above file number when you send a correspondence to our office" so I guess they need my reply soon to send back my passport asap.

Did you try to send case specific enquiry to their website? :)

Hi~

I honestly dont know about their procedure. I dont know whether student permit and work permit are in the same queue or not.

They really make me mad.

I sent them many emails and just know they are reviewing my application, but they didnt say anything about the process time.

Hope we can get the visa soon and pls update~THX!

Hi,

What email address did you use if you don't mind?

You can send an inquiry thru this https://dmp-portal.cic.gc.ca/cicemail/intro-eng.aspx?mission=new york write a concise message too about your situation.

Don't worry everything goes well with our applications. Cheers :)
