Just paid the fees. Looks like they did a ghost update for us too, but that might have been the address change. (The request for biometrics fee still had our old address)

Why did IRCC request you bio fee even when it was completed months ago? That's weird.

There's probably some variation with what country the PA is from.

Wish there was a bit more transparency from IRCC. Comparing your case against others' makes you more anxious, but then comparing things against others is the only way to know where IRCC is with processing cases :D
