To be honest, I'm beginning to manage my expectations towards that date. We aren't tourists so that news might have very little to do with our applications. I believe the one that concerned us was the June 21st announcement and we haven't seen considerable movement since then. Someone said they perhaps extended the embargo on finalization by another 3months. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. It's pure speculation right now. I honestly don't know what to think anymore.
PS: I think someone at IRCC deliberately leak that document due to the backlash they face from applicants on the internet. To me, it's a subtle way of saying ''you caused this'' to us from IRCC.
