I applied on October 20 and have still not received a response from IRC. My study permit expires on 31 Dec and I am going back home because my dad is not feeling my return flight is on January 10. The last time I applied it came in less than 2 months I don't why it is taking so long this time. my flight is non-refundable so I cant even cancel my flight even if I want to , it is gonna cost me a lot. i am so worried right now. please pray that I receive my extension by next week.
