Photo delivered to Etobicoke office on March 31
Not a single update so far.

Yesterday, after 5 months trying to link my application to my profile, I was finally lucky to talk to a kind officer who checked thoroughly my data and I found out that there was a " - " in birthplace. That was the reason i could not get it right before, even after raising multiple webforms and talking to various officers. (Quick note, I had an earlier call with another officer who simply told me that she could not look into my application because of the Afghanistan issue. I hung up and called again and was able to talk the officer who helped me link my application)

Now at least I can see the status of my application. I don't know if it helps or bring more anxiety, but It is what it is.

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do other than waiting tis unbelievably disorganized and painful process, in which people who applied way after you, get their stuff done before. I believe that this is the idea of a FAIR process for IRCC....

People with AOR between Jan-2020 to May 2020 have been experiencing the worst processing times in our applications. I am glad that I am a PR now, but unfortunately I am from that group...

Anyway, let's be positive, try to focus on something else and hope that this stressful experience ends soon! At least we have another 2 years before dealing with IRCC again for the Citizenship application.

Thank you! To link your application you need to go to your profile and after the table that shows your applications, you will see the following message: "Did you apply on paper or don't see your online application in your account? Add (link) your application to your account to access it and check your status online. ". Click on the link and follow the steps to link your application. Just take care when you fill your place of birth, because it needs to be written exactly how it shows in your passport (including the spaces, the "/", etc.).
Thank you so much sweetie!!!! finally I linked the application successfully... and it shows submitted though..
