Totally depends on from which country you are applying for Canadian Study Permit. Each country has different processing time. And also it depends on how many students are applying for Study Permit for that particular Semester.Often, delay is experienced by students who apply for September or Januaury intake. For them it is advisable to apply as soon as possible. For May intake it usually takes lesser time compared to September and January intake as per my knowledge.If an applicant is applying for study permit from India, it usually takes 6 weeks. It varies depending on which intake you are applying for.If an applicant is applying for study permit from United Arab Emirates, it takes about 2 months to get an answer from Canadian Embassy.Sharing my friends experiences :-One of my friend, he applied for September 2024 intake from United Arab Emirates and it took almost 2Months 10days or so to get an answer from Canadian Embassy.
