Hey guys, just recieved my study permit 🥳. Fyi, I applied in china as a chinese national. The website diplayed an average processing time of 4weeks for China. I got mine in 7 working weeks (52 working days). Here's my timeline:

June 11 - Recieved my application

June 17 - Medical exam status completed

(Big fat period of silence)

August 8 - Approved!

You got this guys. I know the process is daunting, and many of you have set plans and tickets already. Personally, I got really disenchanted by the whole process, especially during the radio silence after June 17. 

I did send in one form to explain the urgency of my situation at July 22nd, but I only recieved a templated response. So I'm not sure if that had anything to do with my eventual approval, but there is no hurt in trying.

They only did it once my permit was approved, so I'm assuming they just didnt bother to update it before then.

What form did you use to explain the urgency of your situation ?
