Hi everyone. Applied for study permit for September'22 Intake. Here's the timeline -
Applied - 17th June
Biometrics - 22nd June

Anyone applied in May, got their Medical updated from India?
Heard Apr end application processed. Someone received it.

I have the same timeline..
Given the current processing times, should get the visa around August. July-end if they speed things up a bit.
Then again, it varies from person to person so can't give an exact answer.
 
In my application it tells me that i do not need a medical exam, i got my medical done around mid february, visa applied on 8th june and biometrics done and updated on 14th june

Do i need to call the hospital from where i got my medical exam done?(it was done from sadhu vaswani in delhi)

I applied on the 27th of May and my medical hasn't been updated on the GCKey portal yet. I've asked a bunch of SDS candidates (on Youtube and Reddit) from India who have similar timelines and pretty much all of the May people haven't had their medicals updated yet. It's kind of comforting to know since I'm not the only with this issue haha.

I'm guessing it is mostly people who don't think they will be able to get here in time to start their classes + SDS has a higher approval rates so that is what I've suggested to students if possible (if that is what you were referring to).

Yeah, SDS has higher chances and honestly, the safer bet. Non-SDS is faster but risky due to higher chance of refusal (here in India anyway)
My first attempt (non-SDS) was refused. I was thinking of trying the same again but didnt want to risk another refusal as it goes on your permanent record. So I improved my application and opted for SDS on June 17

I have similar timelines. I had my upfront medical on 28th April, lodged the file on 9th may. I haven’t received any updated since my biometric got processed on 13th may.
Any other may SDS applicants from India who have got their medical updated?

It looks like it's totally random. I applied much later on June 17th and my medical is already updated.
