Hey folks, waiting along with you all. SDS application. Applied from Mumbai.
Application submission: 24th May
Biometrics given: 30th May
Medical was given upfront, passed: 8th July.

No other update apart from this. The biometrics bit on the application status says that they have not received my fingerprints but I know my biometrics are uploaded because it shows under applicant information. For a while under application status it said " Your action required", till it finally changed to "Submitted" in mid June.

Hey guys, I submitted my application( non-sds) on may 24, biometrics on may 25 and my question is medical is required for the country I live in and they didn’t ask nd they updated my application with we are reviewing your application, is that the normal progression?

I submitted a webform to update IRCC on my upfront medical on 30 May and on 31 May I got a auto reply, "thanking for contacting IRCC..." english first part and french 2nd part.

Strangely, yesterday on 20 July I got the same message reply (for the webfom submited on 30 may) but this time it is French in the first part, followed by english.

I don't see any changes in the my account. Does this mean anything? or is it just a glitch? My college is in Toronto though.

Hey guys!

I applied for a student visa from Malaysia on the 27th of May, Biometrics done and uploaded on the 9th of June. From then till now there has been no update/changes to my application and my school term will start on the 6th of September. They have not requested for my medical aswell and Malaysia is a country where one is required for the visa.

I am worried I will not receive my visa on time, especially with all the talks of delays and backlogs etc. My school term starts on the 6th of September but I would preferably like to be in Canada by the end of August to attend the orientation as well as accustom myself to the dorms and campus. Realistically would I be fine given that there is still a month and a few weeks left till school begins or would having to defer be a likely outcome?

Anyone who could share their timeline or offer any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I have seen a number of may applications that are being processed this week from 1st to somewhere around the 11th. Keep the faith and stay positive.

In my case, when I sent the application, I did not have the final result of my daughter's CAQ. I sent the Acknowledge of Receipt.
When I received her CAQ, I sent it through webform, but apparently they did not receive it, or did not process it.
So they asked me to upload the actual CAQ, which I did in less than 2 hours after receiving the request.
