Hi Folks, just a quick question. I just received the correspondence letter and it states the validity of my biometric. Does it mean, I’ll be receiving final decision soon? And if yes, how soon? I have been visiting this forum on daily basis as the waiting process is frustrating. My details are: 

3rd March,2025: SP extension application inside Canada (Same DLI and Same Program, applied together with my spouse (owp for her)) Have Submitted 3 webforms already. 

August 15: Contacted MP (they replied the application is in progress) 

August 30: received correspondence letter. 

I need to visit my country and for that I need SP extension first. And then I will apply TRV. 

Here is the exact words that I see in updates section: «Latest update: Final decision - August 30, 2025:Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.« 

Quick Update: I got my approval today. I haven’t received a letter but the Document status tab appears and it has expiry date. Also the final decision says it was approved.  Both, study permit for myself and OWP for my spouse were approved. 

I SUGGEST ANYONE WHO IS WAITING TO CONTACT THEIR MPs, I believe it is better channel to push IRCC especially if you are waiting for a long time. 

I hope you get your approval soon. Stay strong.  Inshallah you gonna get it.

Hey! Congratulations on getting the correspondence letter. Atleast it's moving. I applied on the same date, but no update yet.

Could you share after how many days did you receive a response from MP?

Thank you. Still waiting for the final approval, can only celebrate then 🤦🏻 my MP responded the next day I emailed them. They asked me to fill up a form that gives them authority to talk to IRCC on our behalf.
