If the embassy is about to approve your study visa they normally send mail to the school confirming your student number, names, date of birth and start date.
So I will advise you screenshot your cic online account to your school or forward the responses from the Web message to your school

You may have to exercise little patience. The CIC website seems to be currently down on scheduled maintenance. Hence, you may not get the correspondence letter until the website maintenance is completed. This is the message on CIC website as at yesterday ''This online service will be unavailable from 3:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. Eastern time, on Tuesday August 14, 2018, in order to perform system maintenance''.

Good luck and all the best ahead.

This is not correct! The embassy has all the info they need from the IRCC form the school sends you to apply for visa. They almost always never contact a school for these information. They have these info also from the forms you have filled. The school doesn’t know whether you are approved or denied visa until you tell them.

good morning all.
i submitted my app on via online route on 16th may
biometric done on 31st may
medical done on 21st june
medical passed on 29th june.
since then i've been awaiting CIC's decision. My program at Seneca College starts on 4th September. Is it normal for passport request to take this long? Thinking of my next line of action

galala123:
I've been wondering and waiting for someone to comment... Would Canada not make more slots available for citizens from other Countries as their feud with Saudi worsens? If they pull out their students, it may affect the budget of schools and service providers (like accommodation, restaurants, hospitals, tourism, etc) adversely and they may be a need to cover some of the shortfall ASAP.

So what should I do?

That is for the Canadian Govt to worry about, just get ur TRV simple

IbrahimITNS:
Good morning.

Please i got a message on my application saying there no update on your application since the last time you checked[b][/b].

You need to write the school and tell them that due to the backlog in visa processing in Nigeria, you need an exception to the rule to allow a little bit more time for the High Commission to finish processing your application.

mightyola:
Thanks. Should i email and also use the WEBFORM CIC regarding this issue.

I uploaded my medicals some days ago(Monday) using the WEBFORM and I also added a note stating the reason why I am uploading my medicals now.

Do i need to mail them once more about this recent development?

jnyuwa02:


You can use the webform. Takes about 10 days to get back to you or add the document to your profile. I find that writing Lagos is a lot faster. Takes only a day to address any issues. Don’t write CIC about any urgency, deal on that matter with your school and see if they would be able to create an exception for you to wait for CIC decision.
