SDS 2022 Processing Time
- Thread starter ThaliaV
- Start date
I applied with my wife back in March and it took 19 weeks to receive the PPR. @parrots mentioned in one post that family applications were averaging around 19-20 weeks according to posts from family applicants. Try submitting webforms and emails to the VAC responsible for handling your application, not much else you can do to be honest... good luck!
At least, I feeling less stressful when there are still some people who are in the same status. I applied SP+SOWP+Kid SP from 26-May. Medical updated since 5-Jul then silent from there.
We applied for SP+SOWP+Kid on 16 May. Only wife's medical has been updated so far . The GC key login page is not loading for me since last 2 days. I have tried it from multiple machines and browsers. Is anyone else also facing similar issue?
Received refusal yesterday after 4.5 months. The reason provided for refusal is "The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application." The application was for a PhD program in IT. I am B.Tech and MBA with 9 years experience in IT.
The PhD program was for Fall deferred to Jan 2023. I plan to reapply. Any suggestions on the reapplication please.

Yikes! Visa applications for those pursuing PhDs are usually approved.
Did you show career progression in your SOP?
Yes. I mentioned B.Tech than MBA(IT & Finance) followed by 9 years in IT consulting in a Big 4 building up a platform for PhD in IT. Also mentioned that a similar PhD program is not available in India and that I want to work as a faculty in one of the B Schools in India after my PhD.
So sorry to hear about your refusal
We're in the same boat for the same reason. Your application seems very solid with excellent justifications. Think of more ways to strengthen your "ties" to country with property, stable work, family left behind. Good luck to you! 
Search the forum for a thread about "reconsideration requests". There was a post about a guy that had a fully funded scholarship for a PHD and was refused. He submitted a webform requesting for his application to be reconsidered and submitted information about why he thought the application had been wrongfully refused. His case was reopened, IRCC requested additional documents and then, his application was approved. It's a longshot but apparently, for some it has worked.
Also, request GCMS notes from IRCC and CBSA to review the VO's comments for refusing your application.
So sorry to hear this. You have a strong profile then. Are you applying SDS or non-SDS? Do you have a well proof of fund?
