AOR: May 10
Medical: July 24
Biometrics: Oct 15 (was exempted but had to submit webform to get status update)

and completing 6 months of processing on 10 Nov, so not sure when will rest get update. I see some folks to called in and found out about eligibility and security etc.

is calling best option to find out latest? If yes, can anyone share no and share best time to call pls
Yes, calling IRCC would be the best option to get the latest update. Usually immigration officer update all the status just before the approval(I read this in other forums, not my personal experience) so you may not see latest updates in your account.
You can call them at 1-888-242-2100, they are available Monday-Friday from 8am-4pm your local time(except national holidays)

There's nothing you can do. It's only been a week since you uploaded the RCMP cert and there are plenty of earlier applicants still waiting for their exempt biometrics to be changed to completed.

Hello everyone,

Lots of interesting updates here I see. I submitted my biometrics on October 8. Was wondering if any of you guys know how long the process would be after biometrics submission? I wasn't exempted, I had to go in for an appointment and that was on October 8. My online profile just says medicals passed May 25, 2020 and Biometrics completed on October 8.

Thanks in advance!

There is no best time to call tbh because the line is always busy. I made 3 calls in a row to get to the agent.

It's probably in a queue for an agent to touch your file and clear criminality based on the submitted biometrics. I've submitted mine on Oct 13. March 7 AOR. Called and got reply that criminality is in progress.
