Did you applied through a consultant ? I will be submitting my application on Friday at CHD vfs. I want to do it online as well but my consultant told me do it paper application. From your posts, it seems like you applied online on Nov 12 and you got the approval already. I am also applying for Jan intake. I am under non-SPP. Could you please tell me how exactly you applied ? Did you create the myCIC account first ? I already got my medical done.
