(Also I never got a single update for file transfer, I think it’s normal only to learn about transfer by calling and specifically asking— and you have to get an agent who both knows/can see and will tell you!)
I agree. The agent I spoke with put me on hold for several minutes then apologized for it taking so long. He said he couldn't find any reason why it was transferred but then he looked again and said, "Oh wait! I see. It says "transferred file for work re-distribution".

“Further assessment” isn’t necessarily bad, it just means they aren’t done. It seemed like my file got transferred to a different place for each step: medical at the first one, Sponsor eligibility at the next, PA eligibility at the third...

Have they sent any document requests? That might tell you what’s being assessed currently.
They transferred the day i got SA
still waiting for response
Same day they start reviewing applicant eligibility

I’m sympathetic— if what they see looks like the GCMS notes, it takes a LOT of scrolling around and deciphering haha

Your GCKey is linked and you can get messages, right? If not keep checking your email (and spam folder) because it seems like a fair number of people get document requests at this point. I think it’s going to be especially common for our batch, too, since at this point the financial and tax and residential information we all gave when we applied is a year old! So they may need updates before approval...

It has to come soon now — mine actually came after I gave up and left everything alone for a few days (which I NEVER do haha). :) just keep watch for any document requests! But who knows, maybe it will jump straight to approval!

I landed yesterday in Calgary. It was a short 5 minute process and we went downstairs to Service Canada and got a new SIN. I wish everyone still waiting some good news soon. I am thinking about you all and I check this forum everyday and smile when I see news that one more person has received AIP or DM. I am praying and hoping for a smooth and quick finish for everyone, especially our very thoughtful and kind Jojo.who has celebrated everyone's victory and encouraged everyone who was sad. I will still be here should anyone have questions.
So happy for you! The bad dream is finally over and you can have a regular Canadian life :) thanks for your kind words I hope my turn will be here soon, GCkey says 35 days remaining lol.

Have you linked your application to GCKEY?
You can also check on ECAS where your application is at in the process.

GCKEY:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html

ECAS:
https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do

It is important to check if they have sent you any communication or document request, if you use a representative they would have advised you but if you don’t, emails may have ended in your spam folder so checking GCKEY and ECAS will help.

I have a representative who always in charge of the application and after the SA he told me it will be coming to my local office but I have not asked him again if it has come there.

Check ECAS link, you just need to know your UCI number. This will give you some indication of your timeline.
You can also call CIC but you will need to know your application number when you speak with an agent.
Regardless, you are within the 12 month processing time so nothing you can do but wait, you just need to ensure that there were not communications for you to provide additional documents. Since you have a representative I’m sure he/she would have let you know but you may want to double check to make sure nothing was missed.

Looking through different threads, it seems like a LOT of people all got DM both-sides on ECAS this week, but none have gotten actual DM letters. I’m starting to worry there was some sort of update error and none of us actually have DM status...

Didn’t get DM here yet :D, I’m sure interview letters will follow soon.

Here in Vancouver, interviews are 3+ months out so even if you don’t have DM you may beat me yet! :)

I called IRCC and the agent told me they actually have NOT made a final decision on my file, though BGC is done, so I guess that does mean ecas is wrong? Or that it’s indicative of just AIP, nothing more? Agent just told me to be patient and keep waiting, couldn’t say what more needed to be done or what the outcome might be — and to be honest made me nervous because he sort of implied it might be rejection :/ hopefully it’s just nerves making me think that.

I hope I do get a DM letter. If I have to wait all the way until a Vancouver landing letter I might lose it!
