Hi All,
I have applied for a Study Permit on the 22nd of May @ VAC office in Cairo with an average processing time of 8 weeks.
After exactly a month, on the 22nd of June, I got an email asking for my Address for the last 10 years, my siblings names & if I have any other citizenship.
I was optimistic at that time as I thought that they will not ask for such details unless they have taken my case seriously & that they should be satisfied about other application aspects like funds, LOA & genuine study intentions, I answered their Qs immediately & got an acknowledgement for my response.
However I didn't get any decision since then, the estimated processing time has just been passed two days ago & I'm afraid that I may get that decision late.
The problem is that, my study program starts on the 2nd of September & I must be there at least a week in advance for an English test & registration.
Also I'm working & I still have pending issues, arrangements & payments which are pending their decision.
I have tried to send an inquiry asking for the status of my case, then I got a message that my inquiry will be replied in 28 working days!!
Is there anything else I can do, was I right about their questions, is it a good sign or not.
I'm afraid I may miss this fall semester if they will take much longer, I don't know if it will be possible to shift to the next semester, will I have to resubmit for a Study Visa.
Appreciate your help.
