Yes, still in progress and the same thing I've noticed with other Montreal-based applicants with different submission dates. I guess they just do things differently.

Sucks for us lol

Their processes are so inconsistent, it's crazy. I wonder why....

called csc and agent told me my file is in Montreal office. I am surprised since I reside in Nova Scotia. I am Jan-22 online applicant and Montreal office hasnt even touched my file yet. Is this expected from this office? is it very slow ?

did they provide any reason for your delay ?

Nope they said it is under processing

Unfortunately IRCC does LIFO so I'm not surprised you're left behind. If I were you, I'd reach out my MP now that you're getting to the "official wait time". Maybe at this point they will do something about it.

I applied from Montreal in June 2021, passed the test in Feb 2022, no updates on my case since then, except the ghost update Oct 7.

In May 2022 I sent an address change request, to which I got a response after a couple of months, and a travel notification request (for international travel I was planning in June), to which I received a very strange response in September, saying that processing is delayed by COVID, and that currently they are prioritizing applications from people who are exempt from travel restrictions. The response must be the same one they were sending in early 2020, when there were travel restrictions due to covid, and they never changed it.

I ordered GCMS notes in late June 2022 (received after 30 days), and again a couple weeks ago.
I am not sure if my address was actually updated, the notes have no mention of the new address, and the notes request by the goverment employee was made about 2 weeks after I receieved the response for my address change request...

Interestingly, judging by the tracker https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iXCMs0mYtJZwYTTIH3LDmHK1tgK7yqAgQ5Jfyxv7BEI/edit#gid=1339184945
Montreal applicants from June 2021 are processed faster than applicants from other places; unfortunately I am not one of the luckier ones.

Did you apply on paper? Then you use ecas to check your address.

Whoever is in charge of the Montreal office should be ashamed of the level of inefficiency in which they're running this office.
