Study permit taking too long

[Mariaclara1802]

Hey,
I submitted my application in May 21st and collected my biometrics in May 28th.
The problem is that I had delays in my CAQ and submitted it only by July 22nd.
Which date will my application be processed considering completeness?
Should I expect a decision soon? The are nos finishing applications submitted by May 15th, and mine was from Mau 21st, I guess.

Your timeline seems normal. It is not too long. We've seen people apply for study permit for Quebec in Oct 2020 just got the final decision last week so.. No one can tell you how long it is gonna take. Unfortunately, you have no other option but to wait.

I bought plane tickets to mid-september, should I be worried?

 

[thaovy99]

Where are you applying from? Like which country?

 

[Mariaclara1802]

Brazil

It might seem like a bad decision to have bought the tickets, but they were supposed to finish by august 6 applications until may 15th, so may21st should be arround next week or the other. Not sure that will happen, though, a bit nervous. Is my way of thinking correct?

This is what IRCC says

"We’ll process complete applications submitted after May 15, 2021, as quickly as possible—but we can’t guarantee that you’ll get a final decision before the fall semester begins. "

So, everything can happen. I think you may take a step forward by looking at the airlines ticket change or cancellation policy just in case.

Okay, Thanks! I cant get my money back, so will hope everything comes in time

 

[Mariaclara1802]

But is my application considered complete um May 28th with the biometrics or only July 22nd?

 

[thaovy99]

I believe that it is considered complete on July 22nd since before that date, without CAQ, your application can not be processed at all.

 

[Mariaclara1802]

Okay thanks

Quebec students

If you submitted your study permit application by May 15, 2021, without the official copy of your Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ), then you must submit the official copy using your online account or our web form by June 30, 2021, to have your application processed in time for the fall semester.

 

[Mariaclara1802]

Yes, I understand. But that das until August 6, deadline is already over

And there are many who have submitted their complete applications far before the deadline but yet they have not heard anything.
