Hello @Omofar
Thanks for your advise on web form. I got confirmation about four days later.

I need your advise on my study permit application.
I applied online on July 21, 2020.
Got biometric request letter same day.
I am yet to do medical as I have not got medical request letter. Do you advise I do upfront medical?
Also, I have not heard from IRCC since. My status says eligibility review in progress, background "not applicable". My Program starts in May2021. Kindly advise
Hello @Omofar
VAC Lagos and Abuja reopening on August 24, 2020.
I have booked for biometrics online for August 24. I don't want to hear they closed again for any reason.
I earlier schedule upfront medical for Saturday August 22. Do you advise I do the medical in anticipation of it being uploaded 3-10 working days after (which will fall after my biometrics capture on August 24, 2020.)
This is what I plan to do. Mind you my study permit application was submitted online on July 21, 2020. And I haven't got medical request. I thinking if biometrics goes first and medical subsequently, it is in fine order.
Kindly advise.
