Hey @naohFiona! How are you? Any updates on your profile? 15 weeks and total silence on our end 
Please, let me know when you get your decision as there are only three of us February applicants still waiting, you, us and @Izaz. And I can't imagine what it must be like for those still waiting from January and 2022..

However, I am trying to enjoy my life now instead of checking and worrying about it every day. Hey, don't be upset. Let's take advantage of it as we get more time to prepare ourselves for a brand new life I will definitely share with you if any significant progress.

Original Passport Request 03 Jun
I am a 33yo male with a 10 year study gap. I finished my bachelors in 2012 with a 8.17/10 CGPA. My IELTS score was 8.5/9. Going for a Masters program at Ryerson in Fall 2023. I did everything on my own - from college applications to visa application. I have a virgin passport.
I applied on the new portal since forms scare me.
I would love to help anyone if they have any questions for me.

No further update.

3. parents are in their 60s.
Hey @naohFiona! Thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate it as sometimes it feels like we're all alone and there are no more people left still waiting for their decisions since February. Thank you also for your positive energy and encouragement! Maybe it is just what I need as, to tell you the truth, my own motivation has been almost completely drained. Let's hope for the best!

Hey @MTA4142! Thank you so much for your post and great wishes! I hope you've found the conversations on this forum helpful and encouraging. Please, feel free to ask any questions related to your application. I'd be happy to help in any way I can!
Are you a single applicant? Which country did you apply from and to which program in Canada? Your timeline seems OK for non-SDS stream. Good luck to you!

Thank you @zen3989 for sharing your story and timeline! You've gotten your decision incredibly fast and it is great to see that SDS works for a great majority of people this year, indeed! Congratulations on your approval! This is an inspiring news!
We have similar cases in a way that we both have a huge study gap and IELTS score of 8.5/9. But I am going for a second BA degree, which makes my application rare and complex. I am also applying with my husband and our SDS timeline is a seemingly never-ending wait. Anyways, hope we'll get our decision eventually. Good luck to you! All the best!

Thank you for being ready to help everyone. I really appreciate it.Hey @MTA4142!
Are you a single applicant? Which country did you apply from and to which program in Canada? Your timeline seems OK for non-SDS stream. Good luck to you!
Yeah, I applied only for my own visa no spouse or any other family members. I got admitted into a thesis-based masters of science in applied computer science at the university of manitoba.
The full tuition fee of the entire two years of my degree is 34k CAD. I will not pay for it. My two supervisors will pay for it. I applied from Afghanistan. I hope my country of citizenship doesn't have a negative impact on the outcome of my application.
Also, my supervisor wrote a very detailed letter to IRCC in which he explained the project, my tasks and the source of funding he is paying me.
Regards,
Hey @MTA4142! Your application seems to be strong enough. Personally for me, there was only one weak point on our first application to Canada - not a fully-explained study plan. In case your supervisor takes on that blow and provides an in-depth explanation of your study program, that should work fine. The only thing left is proving your strong ties back to your home country and explaining your career opportunities there. Afghanistan should not be a problem in itself as long as your personal story is well presented and satisfies all the requirements for the study permit. Good luck to you!
