Let us know when you get an update.
I applied on 29th April and got the biometric correspondence today. Pretty much the same timeline. Let us know when you get any update, I’ll also share mine.
My study permit extension along with my husband open work permit extension is approved today. I applied on May 1,2020 and received biometric validity correspondence this morning and approval an hour ago. It was very quick as the processing time showed 112 days when I filed my application.

That was VERY quick, congratulations! I just hope the February applications don't follow the pattern of last November's ones.
By the way, did you get an email or did you just check your account?

Applied May 12
Got Biometrics Correspondence Letter May 27
Got Approval today, but no e-mail.
Good luck for everyone else!

But they extended my study permit for s shorter time than the duration of my studies. Is that normal? Did it happened with anyone else? My program ends in 2023, but they only extended my permit until 2021.

Does your passport expire? That's the only reason I can see for a shorter time frame, unless something was strange in your proof of the duration of studies.

No, my passport will only expiry in 2030.
My LoA cleary showed that my program will end in 2023. It's so weird. I wonder if there's any way to request reconsideration or something like that.
