Little background: My Student visa for Canada was rejected in 2014, although UKVI mentioned that processing time may increase if Visa for Canada has been refused in last 10 years and it is recommended to not opt for Priority Service. But i still went for the priority visa service and got the visa in 24 Working days ALHUMDULILAH

May ALLAH bless all awaiting applicants and may all of you hear the good news soon.
