Thanks for your response,
Are they processing applications?
Have you heard anyone being approved?
no buddy! They are claiming that they will grant stage 1 approvals before Fall starts. But unfortunately, I haven't heard a single person whose visa got approved. It's kinda frustrating and looks like it's all talks.
 
Hey there, this is my info:

- 18th May, Applied online.
- 2nd July got an upfront medical examination done (in case they ask)
- 21st July Biometrics done.
- 22nd July Eligibility review starting

-- Still waiting for good news coming ---
How are Biometrics done? Aren’t VAC’s closed?
 
Belgian national, only need CAQ and study permit, no visa.
-20/2 CAQ applied for (Quebec)
- 22/5 CAQ approved after 13 weeks
- 22/5 study permit applied for including all papers except biometrics
-22/5 estimated 9 weeks processing time
- 17/6 biometrics completed
- 3 webforms completed over last 2 months, no replies
- 11 weeks and today waiting and no replies
- 19 weeks estimated processing time on 5/5/20

Not a single new international student at Bishop's has informed the university their study permit has been approved.

Next door university universite de Sherbrooke has reported about 15 out of 1000 new international students have study permits approved and will try to enter Canada.

Haven't yet found any applicants in any forums to have had a study permit approved after 18th March.
 
was it a message with subject "other" stating that your application has advanced to next stage of processing?

Strangely there was no subject line on the letter and the email subject line was the IRCC full name spelled out - based on reading more posts in this forum, I’m wondering if it was in fact an AIP - it stated that my “application has advanced to the next stage in processing” but I’m a bit confused as I sent in a full application and thought the two step process was only for incomplete apps.
 
I applied March 5th, no response. College people is trying to start classes online and they upfront saying that even if my visa gets rejected they will continue online classes itseems.. I dont know what to say and while trying to withdraw charging me 30% of the amount that I paid.. started hating the system now..
