Study Permit Delay, No communication from IRCC

[Divinemercy]

Hi,
I am a Nigerian and applied for study permit, online on July 6th and I haven't gotten my visa just an email from them that my application is still in process that when finalized will be contacted.

As a result of this delay I had to defer my admission to Jan 2019 since classes had already started on Sept 5th.

Please as I have deferred my admission I'm worried over these issues; should I also inform CIC/embassy about my deferral? Or keep silent unless asked? If the visa comes out ,can I still go with the visa having the different date with my deferral letter? With the different dates, will it affect me at POE? I'm really worried if I inform them of my deferral it might delay/slow down the visa approval. Please what should I do, to keep mute and wait for them. I will really appreciate if the above questions are answered.

I think you should email your University the above questions. They will be able to help you the best. Or else through Web Form Send your deffered application. I dont think it will slow down the process as it was not your mistake that lead you to defer it.

Deferral is very common. No you don't have to inform CIC or your embassy about deferral but you can sent a CSE updating CIC if it makes you feel better. It is assumed that you deferred admission if you didn't get your visa in time. It will not slow down the approval process.

Did you get it or still waiting. I'm also from kenya and I applied 3 of July I submitted every thing even medical report which they requested

if they request for your medicals, you are closer than it seems. Just calm and take a breath

But the processing time has exceeded we are in th 12 week and the processing time in kenya is 4 weeks. Is that normal to wait up to that far

 

[Najaah mahamud]

It's been over two weeks no response
I hail from Kenya which they say normal processing time is 4 weeks , it's now 8 weeks and no single update.

I'm worried as school starts in exactly 4 weeks.

Did you get the visa or still waiting

processing time are just estimated time stated by CIC for certain percentage of application will/might take to process and many/some applications might fall beyond this time. Processing time are not guaranteed time specially when there are high volumes of application

Sadly the course has a yearly based intake hence the next intake is September, 2019. But I'll write to the school.

Same like me. don't know what to do. I am worry that we might waist one year and wait for Sept-19 !!

Hello, i am from Egypt aswell i applied offline through vfs exactly 3 days ago, i asked the guy at the counter about the expecting processing time he said less than 2 months, p.s the VFS office staff in Egypt are so unprofessional and rude, i regreted applying offline but hearing from you about the online time delay makes me not feel so bad afterall
