Visa application, tracking ID No.__________ is being processed at the Canada Visa Office, BANGALORE.To know more, please call VAC helpline number or visit VAC website.

This is the message i get every time i check with the tracking number.
I have applied offline for student visa on 28th Feb 2017 at Mumbai VFS.
I took admission in St. Lawrence for May 2017 intake.
Can anyone please tell how many days does it take for visa and in how many days can I expect my passport ?

CIC website has some overall timeline information usually.
You can see if there are any tracking websites for student visa category where other students have posted their timelines.

Sad to know that. Its been 5 weeks for you. You didn't get a single update ?
Did you try talking to anyone on their helpline number ?

That is a very unfortunate case. I would suggest that you contact to the respective VAC.

For anyone, who have exceeded the normal mentioned processing times, there is a form on this website to raise your query.
Select your regional VAC and check for it.
