On my cic account under app status showing this.

Your application is taking us longer than usual to process.
About 20% of our applications are more complex to process. They take us longer due to things like how easily we can verify information, how well and how quickly you answer our requests and whether the application is complete.
If you aren't seeing updates, contact us using this Web form. Make sure you read your messages and take action when we ask you to.

What does this mean? My application has passed one year mark just a few days ago.
oh , its strange. first time I heard that. did u tried to contact through web form. and what they replied. and your percentage is not changing every month on gckey? pls reply

MINE SAYS THE SAME THING I DONT UNDERSTAND. We started processing your application on july 20,2020. Does this mean all this time my file was not touched by them ?
Hi DabKin,

" Started Processing on your application" means, now they have started work on it.
Before that at preliminary stage, what they usually do, once they receive any application, they just check, all the required information and all required FORMS are provided, all info and forms are completed.
Once they say " Application Received, it means, all required info received and they don't need further info at this point and your file put in Que to wait to start work on it.
Now it says, "Started Processing" It means, they have now started work on it.
Now Immigration Officer who is dealing your case, will decide, like interview needed or not, or if he or she feels, No we should have to ask these info too then will let you, but in most cases, they don't ask.
I believe, BioMetric and Medical already been done before start working on your application.
Let's hope and InshaAllah you should have a request to send passport.
Since this pandemic so you might have to wait until these uncertain things not cleared, like I and too many others are still waiting from last 6 months even our status also confirmed " Started Processing "

Hi. Have London Visa Office & CPC Sydney-Nova Scotia office started working now after COVID-19 for spousal sponsorship applications for Outland couples? Also, any idea when will VFS Global (VAC) in Pakistan will start working again now for biometrics? I know that IOM Pakistan is working again on medical exams for applicants.
