Any idea how much time it takes to get an FD for CEC applications?

No such thing. All really depends on how consistently they work on your application. If you work consistently without breaks+application has low complexity, a few months at best. Anything else can go long. The key is to look for what went into progress, what's completed and what isn't started.

My entire application was completed in 19 days, but nothing went into "progress" in tracker. So, there are different databases that are synced/unsynced/differently batched. FD isn't even a thing for everyone. I didn't get any FD in GCKey at all. PR tracker lagged significantly and showed nothing completed before I sent my passports for stamping. That goes on to show just how unreliable most info here really us. Key is to see what info you see, what's your application's complexity, etc.

oh thanks, i thought priority streams are being processed fast.

i have got a CEC refusal in march 2025, so i guess i will have to be patient

Ah, CEC refusal would make you a bit more worried for sure! I have no seen a confirmation from IRCC that they are doing any of that.

I just checked the August thread. A couple of people there have got FDs now. I suppose some of us will eventually have FDs by next month

Hello everyone, is there anyone with September 2025 AOR yet to be send a BIL for biometrics? A lot of people that submitted after September 10, 2025 seem to still be expecting BIL.

Must be a ghost update
 
why we receive that? or what is the next step if you have any idea?

i guess we receive GU before FD but my eligibility hasn't started yet so>>

No such thing as a ghost update. This has been demystified by LegalFalcon and other legal experts on the forum. The date update on top right is a system update date and has nothing to do with your application - this was tweeted by IRCC.

And, there's no such thing as receiving GUs before FD or even getting an FD date for many. Wait for the stages to reach completed or a PPR/RFV - everything else is a speculation that has only hurt people through false expectations here.
