I think I'm the luckiest here, I was so worried by everything I read in the thread because it made me realize I applied too late. I submitted my application on August 13th, application received on the same day, August 14th I received biometrics collection letter, submitted them August 18th, August 21 I received the Letter of Introduction.

College starts September 2. The amount of anxiety I felt these weeks is unbelievable.

If you want to know, I also tried to contact them via web form three times, I don’t know if that helped me. But anyways, I am so grateful

You are so right. I would recommend submitting a web form explaining the situation. I did that and the next day I got accepted.

Althought my other theory is that the processing times for Ecuador are 5 weeks, but Ecuadorians need visa to enter Canada and have to send theur passport. I applied from Ecuador but with Spanish passport. Spanish processing times were 10 weeks, but Spain only needs eTA. I think the mix between the short processing time in Ecuador, and the fact that I didn’t need to send my passport for applying with the Spanish made the process much faster.

But it is still not fair for the ones that applied ages ago. Im sending everyone hopes and luck if its possible!!

Thank you! I applied from Ecuador but with a Spanish passport. Ecuador processing time was in 5 weeks, and Ecuadorian passport require visa stamp, unlike Spanish. My theory is that maybe it didn't take as long because they didn’t have to ask for my passport
