Filed Jan 22, biometrics and medicals both cleared — how soon can you expect a decision? (period-specific reference)

An applicant who filed on January 22 and had both medicals and biometrics successfully update asked when to expect their study permit result.

What the group offered (a period-specific estimate, not a guarantee):

1. A rough estimate of 10–15 days was given once eligibility and background checks were already underway.


2. Background check stage was specifically confirmed as already started for this applicant, which the group treated as a positive sign that the file was actively progressing rather than stalled.

Takeaway: once your file shows biometrics and medicals cleared and background checks underway, a decision in roughly 10–15 days was a common community estimate at this time — but always check IRCC's current processing time tool rather than relying on this historical estimate.
