Question
Does anyone have positive stories recently of student visa processes at the Toronto Spanish Consulate? I applied for my visa on the 16th of august but have been seeing a lot of bad news about waiting times. I am doing NALCAP. Any other auxes out there have their visas and if so what dates did you send It?

We got our visa yesterday after 11 weeks and it’s a more complicated kind than student visa”
”Sent mine June 20th, still no reply/ information from them on the status of it. Happy to hear some of you got yours !”
“I had mine done during covid (april/may 2020) and went through no problem”
“They received my application on august 2nd and I just got the call yesterday that it is ready and was mailed out. Hope you get yours soon!”
