Thank you so much for your reply! I will probably do the same as it's my 15 week of waiting. Thanks a lot! :) BTW, how long had you been waiting before you applied for the notes?


No probs! I believe at around 80 days? I also requested GCMS from IRCC last June 14 but I still didn't receive them. Bummer!

Hello!
Hoping y'all are doing well.
I just submitted my deferral request for the winter 2023 term. should I wait until my request becomes approved and then submit a webform stating that I have deferred? Is a webform even necessary at this stage?

If your new study start date is within 150 days of your original start date, you are not obligated to inform IRCC. However, I would advise you do so that your Visa is stamped according to your updated dates.

Some good news came this morning. Finally got our approval!

SDS application - Philippines
SP + SOWP + SP Minor

Application received: May 4, 2022
Biometrics done: May 9, 2022
Upfront Medical done: Feb 28, 2022
Medical passed: July 8 and 21, 2022
Eligibility Review: Augus 22, 2022
BVL: August 22, 2022
PPR: August 22, 2022

In our case, eligibility, BVL and PPR all happened at once on the same day.

Took 111 days / 16 weeks for my family. Already deferred to January but it's good so we'll have time to prepare and get cheaper airfare.

wishing good luck for the rest of the applicants!

If your biometrics were completed on June, you could expect a decision around 12 weeks after that date. It could take shorter or longer.

I would advise you to know the rules regarding deferrals with your learning institution (some have deadlines, some only allow you to defer once, etc).

No way of knowing for sure. Processing time is around 12 weeks but it could be less or more. The only thing you can do is to submit a webform once your application has exceeded normal processing times. Not much else to do unfortunately...
