Students for September 2019 intake

[000820meet]

I filed online SDS on June 14, gave bio on 18(updated overnight) and no update till now? I haven't received any mail or update from cic. Even medical has not been updated. Review of eligibility has not yet started. No acknowledgement letter.
I am kinda worried. Only background check is under process. Does background check complete first and then everything starts? Is my background check taking this much time?

How do you known that your background checking is been started

Under eligibility review, medical and bio there is background check. It reads 'we are processing your background check' or similar to this.

Did you say that you had taken an upfront medical examination in the questionnaire (that generates the document checklist)?
I applied online and there wasn't any section to upload proof of medical exam so I didn't upload the eMedical tracking sheet too.
I sent both the IRCC office in Canada as well as the New Delhi High Comission my eMedical tracking sheet through the webform about 10 days ago.

Thank you for your response. No there wasn't an option to upload medical even thought I mentioned yes on the questionnaire. I sent my emedical sheet through the webform on 29th June. How did you mail New Delhi HIGH commission? Is there an email ID?
I am really worried.

That should be OK

Thank you

Submission through webform should be sufficient. But are you sure your file is at the New Delhi Visa office? There are Visa offices in Chandigarh and Bangalore as well.
Anyway, the email address you should write to (if you wish so), is DELHI-IMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca
Don't forget to include your UCI, Application Number, First Name and Last Name in any email you write to them.

Hey Mayank,

You are right, there is no more a field to upload eMedical tracking sheet. (It used to be there earlier, I checked before I actually took the upfront medical exam). I was confused myself but I ended up submitting the application without medical tracking sheet assuming IRCC just upgraded their system and that they could easily fetch my medical results using my nationality and passport number (both of which are unique to me, are there in the emedical system, and IRCC obviously has them).

I was wrong. Few days after submission, I received a medical instruction letter. (at least 3 others in this very thread faced the same issue). The hospital told me to talk to the embassy as they could not do the medical again because the old one was valid for an year. I have been writing webforms since then and it's now more than 30 days since the medical request and the issue still hasn't been fixed.

I suggest you to take the paper route and attach the emedical tracking sheet . Many students have reported it to be infact faster than the online application. All the best!

I think I am in the same boat too. Got medical request even thought medical done upfront. Submitted by emedical through the webform on 29th June

Thank you. Yes I guess it's the New Delhi immigration as the acknowledgement letters are sent by them.

General or non-SDS is quite slow when compared to SDS. The average processing time for non-SDS applications is 4 week as of now. 4 weeks doesn't include the time it takes to complete biometrics formality. Since you submitted biometrics on 19th June, you should wait patiently till 19th July.

Hey thank u so much for response its really helpful. Will keep my

 

[student-life]

Has yours started? I applied on june 14th and gave biometrics on june 18th. After that no update, neither medical not eligibilty review.

No...really worried.

 

[seema07]

What's the status of medical and eligibility review

None
only able to see " we are reviewing your profile and will update you if we need any documents " that's it
