Maybe it was done in the evening. I checked my online midday and sane. Just checked this evening and saw the update.

So why is the Nigerian processing time so much longer than others?

A lot of factors unknown to us add up to this processing time;

1. Don't forget that the VO handling your application has to also request for your spouse's information to be verified by other officers in Canada. While they wait for such response to their request, your application is put on hold.

2. As In-Canada students are also extending their stay, VOs in Canada are also very busy such that it takes them longer time to respond to their colleagues outside Canada.

3. Time spent to verify documents in Naija. They might have put in place a double verification method for bank statements as well due to the fake documents they received a couple of months ago.

Reviewing Drpak's application, it took 20weeks to get it approved. God help us.

@NellyKuch its strange that you did not get an email notification for that medical update though. Maybe it will come tomorrow. Please let me know if that happens.

I actually got it before this week. I was waiting for final decision to do the update together since I got BVL same time with the medical passed. I got tired of waiting for them. I believe that a final decision has been made but I dont know why I havent gotten the final decision update yet.

Nellykuch:

Thats correct but you will get an email notification to log into your account whenever an update is made.

Friends, if an applicant has received BVL for more than 2 weeks without any final decision update, what shiuld be the next step?

Application was made when processing week was 13weeks and the application is now13weeks old but the new processing time is 24weeks for Naija.

I didn't get any mail oh! Even uptill this moment. [Buh will keep you informed .

Yes, I don’t think one will get a notification when they start eligibility check and for medical passed. I received no notifications, I just login and I saw it.

It will surely end in praise brother. What I understand about this whole app is that, even if your medical reads passed one week after submitting your application. You won’t get a decision until after or close to the processing time as of when you applied. I stand to be corrected though !

Drpak please what was the processing time the week you submitted your application?......

The processing time when I applied was either 12 or 14 weeks. I think it was 14weeks.

Ok thanks. Mine was 13 and this is the 13th week.

I think they are beginning to look at SOWP applications now that medicals are being passed.

If you get your medicals passed along with you Biometrics validation letter same time and day, please indicate. Last month, study permit applicants who received same got approved within a week.

@Ibbond, @Eimolove92 and @YMin ……. have you checked recently?

No I didn't but biometrics was checked completed.
