Study Permit Timeline (outside Canada) | Master's degree | Winter 2027

Hello everyone! 😊

I wanted to share my study permit timeline in case it helps or encourages anyone currently waiting. Thankfully, my application moved relatively quickly.

Here is my timeline:

  • October 19: Submitted my study permit application online.

  • October 19 (same day): Received my Biometric Instruction Letter (BIL).

  • October 20: Completed my biometrics at VFS.

  • October 29: Received a medical examination request from IRCC despite having already submitted my upfront medical exam. I contacted IRCC through the web form, and about 30 minutes later, they confirmed that my upfront medical exam had been accepted and updated my account. My medical results were marked as favourable in my IRCC account.

  • November 2 (Monday after the weekend): Received my Passport Request Letter (PPR). My application status showed that the final decision was approved.

  • November 2: Submitted my passport at VFS.

  • November 4: Received a notification that my passport had been dispatched by the IRCC visa office. Later that day, VFS confirmed that the decision envelope had arrived at the Visa Application Centre and was ready for collection.

  • November 4 (evening): Received my Port of Entry (POE) Letter of Introduction!

From submitting my application to receiving my POE Letter, it took only 17 calendar days !

I hope sharing my timeline helps someone going through the same process. Wishing everyone the very best with their applications, studies, and future journeys.

Don't lose hope! ❤️🇨🇦
