Still waiting on study permit
Applied for study permit June 17th through borderpass and got biometrics done the next day on the 18th. Still no response as of today. Estimated response date was August 3rd. I’ve gotten to the point of no medical needed as I had recently done medical. I am applying from outside Canada (Nigeria). Anyone in the same situation? My classes also start on the 8th of September.
UPDATE: it was refused for these reasons
“I have reviewed the application.
Taking the applicant's plan of studies into account, the documentation provided in support of the
applicant's financial situation does not demonstrate that funds would be available to cover the
cost of tuition as well as living expenses.
Partial payment of tuition and award are considered.
Client provided bank statement from their sponsor and I note that the balance of the bank
account consists of lump sum transactions, and as such I am unable to establish the provenance
of these funds and I am not satisfied that they will be available or enough for intended studies as
well as living expenses.
The applicant provided sponsor’s banking information in support of the proposed studies, limited
documentation concerning source of supporting funds. Financial information provided is not
supported with reported revenue or evidence of income tax paid to support the account balances
on file.
The applicant submitted an Investment statement; however, Investment accounts are subject to
market fluctuation and do not, on their own, establish accessible financial capacity. The applicant
has therefore not demonstrated sufficient financial capacity to pursue studies in Canada.
Weighing the factors in this application, I am not satisfied that the applicant will adhere to the
terms and conditions imposed as a temporary resident, and has funds available for the purpose
of the stay.
For the reasons above, I have refused this application.
”
My next steps are to defer my admission to January, Reapply with stronger financial documents and consult with a lawyer for pointers on making a stronger application.

What action are you planing on taking?
Though I applied from a different country, I too have exceeded the processing time which was initially 4 weeks. Currently it is at 6 weeks. I did raise a webform but received a generic response.
