I am talking about SDS as well, that is a pre-covid timeline, its not accurate anymore, they have a massive backlog beginning from atleast April, but if you are lucky you might get your visa soon, they are processing files in no particular order.
I've noticed that some November SDS applicants are getting PPRs. I'm not sure how that works, since applicants from much earlier are waiting for it till this date.

@sim08 is right, the old 20 day period for SDS was a while ago. Applicants are waiting for Jan 21 intake since as long as June. And to answer your question they held a ton of webinars informing the applicants of the new delayed timelines.

Two immune exceptions can't be considered as representatives against processing delays. Returning students are prioritised and other cases must have had done their biometrics in Dubai , even I gave my biometrics in Dubai and getting the slot was a big gamble ( booked on October to get a slot on November ).

"(2/3) Even with expanded hours of operation at the VACs, not all students will be able to enrol their biometrics and have their application finalized before their January classes start."

Yeah i heard..pretty depressing. Also heard that applications are not processed in any sequence so its really not in any of our hands, when it comes to predicting when and what will be done. Just gotta wait i guess, which is torture.

For may intake the college has deferred my admision and for September intake though I've AIP my college didn't allow me to start the classes since the program I choose is hybrid and they need my presence in Canada. And I didn't do it on my personal choice! I'm happy to start my program from my home country but due to the program delivery mode I was not allowed to do so.
