Hello Community,

I want to understand the circumstances surrounding the delay in my study permit processing and also if anyone else is in a similar situation to mine.

So, I applied for my study permit on 13th October 2023 and went ahead to do biometrics on 17th October 2023. I received a medical request on October 27 and went ahead to complete it. Last major update was "November 6 You passed the medical exam". Classes were scheduled to kick start on January 2024 but since the visa was not approved, I deferred to the May 2024 intake. I have raised several webforms to my local visa office and IRCC international to update me but they only provided generic responses. The stipulated processing time has exceeded by a great deal of months, and I am quite disturbed.

On the tracker my eligibility , medicals and biometrics show completed except for background verification which is stuck in "IN PROGRESS" since October 26 2023

I applied as NON SDS from Qatar via the Abu Dhabi office

Any suggestions?
