Got BVL yesterday and no decision. Anyone know how long after which I should get a decision?

From which visa office did you receive bvl?

Next 30 days IRCC have to clear all Sept Intake applications otherwise no point. Heard Medical has been received but some issue updating on portal. So don't worry about Medical update.

Just confirmed from the lab and they informed me that the medical had been processed from their end. Hope they process the files by mid of August.

Out of curiosity, since I'm a Jan23 intake, will my application be pushed down to accommodate others? I've seen Jan23 intake people get their visas but if you're telling me they're going to go into overdrive to clear Sep intake peeps, will Jan intake people take a hit?

Can't comment, but try to be in their position, what will you do, Sept 22 or Jan 23 first ?

It really depends on which VFS your application go to. Some may have a fast clearance due to low backlogs. Some may take more time. Anw, it's like a gamble. Let's see if we win a jackpot.

So next 30 days means Aug 15 , then how much time generally it takes to get the passport back after stamping?

usually takes 2 weeks after you get your email approval from IRCC

Ideally it should not good for you but you have so much time to get your visa- imagine the plight of us Sept intake students!!

From where you received this info? Is it credible?

I actually spoke to a visa agent from Canada who told me there's almost no chance my application will be pushed down; otherwise, it's basically them creating another backlog of applications. Plus, I didn't even realize it before posting but both my cousins got their visas, which they applied for in April, for the Jan'23 intake. So, I don't think I need to worry, I hope.

Plus, really hoping Sep folks get their decisions in time too! ✌

They won't push down the applications depending on the intake. They will process all applications in the order that they are submitted.

Hi,
I submitted my application ( SDS from India, Mumbai ) on 14th June, Biometrics done and updated on 20th June, after that no updates. Up until yesterday my application status showed "Your action is required" but today it got updated to "Submitted" ( no email received though ), does anyone has any idea what does this status update is about? Does this mean they started working on my application? Bit confused...

Hi,
I've had a similar experience myself. Submitted my biometrics on 24th May but the status changed to "submitted" on 20th June.
There's two things, either there's a huge delay at VFS Mumbai because of which it is taking them a month to send the application to IRCC itself. Or maybe it's just a glitch & there's nothing to be concerned about.
If someone who has applied from Mumbai & has an update on their application could either confirm or deny this it would be helpful. Thanks.

I got it one day later! But to my friend, it took a month, it's like a lottery!
