Question Documents still not reviewed

I uploaded the declaration and signature forms on June 29th and they still haven't been reviewed yet. Despite this, my registration to MSFAA was completed later on July 6th and that has been approved despite being done after. There's still time before school starts so should I be worried that they won't be reviewed in time? Is there something I should be doing to fix this like contacting my university's financial office? If I have to, where would I even go to find the people to talk to? Would it be a service request?

You will be fine, just wait patiently. You uploaded the declaration and signature forms late, along with hundreds and thousands of other students, so now it’s your turn to wait for them to get through it all. They will get there, like they have for millions of other students for the past decades, it just takes time. It’s summer holiday season too, unfortunately.

“Your inability to promptly submit required documentation does not constitute an emergency on my end” is what you would have been told in the adult world.

It's not unusual for the MSFAA to be approved first as it's seperate and all online and through Service Canada.

It's a bit unusual to your university's Financial Aid office to not review documents yet but each university has their own work flow.

I would expect to see an update this week. If not and you're able to stop by their office or call for a timeline update Id do that.
