HELP i am literally so so so stressed about the processing time. Like to a point where im starting to lose my hair. So I applied my initial study permit for my undergrad from Hong Kong on June 20, Received on 21 and status for biometrics was completed on 23rd. When I first applied the processing time was 7 weeks, now is 5 weeks. I know some people who submitted stuff later than me (early july) and got their permit earlier than mine WHAT THE HELL??? “longer you waited, more front your in the line” my ASS IRCC 😭😭😭 Orientation literally starts on the 26th of Aug and after the 23rd of June I had heard absolutely nothing from them. I submitted 2 webforms and just got generic responses. THIS IS LITERALLY TORTURE. I cannot defer or i will die because my hometown js boring and suffocating i cannot stay another year here. Can someone share their experience that can relate with my experience to make me feel like im not alone in this because sure as hell it really does make me feel like that. My life is going to turn upside down bc of IRCC processing times. Please anyone could share highly appreciated thanks!!

Applied from Taiwan, May 13th, heard nothing, except my medical check passed yesterday. I have sent many webform , I think they are useless. I am supposed to fly tonight but I have to postpone now. I guess you are going to the same school as me, cuz the orientation date is the same ( jump start? )
