I am wondering if the number of PR's issued in 2020 is equal to the government plan for immigration in 2020 or it is far away from it?!

Hey guys,

I have recently called IRCC and they said my application is currently in criminality so an officer has to take a look at the biometrics given and then change the status to ‘Approved’ & then they’ll change the final decision corresponding to that . Considering the fact that i have given my Biometrics on October 14 so since from then my application havent moved at all.
My AOR is on April 24, medicals passed as per june 15...Anybody know how long more it will take!!
This is so frustrating i even did an enquiry with the local MP and the reply she got was similar to this only.
is there anyway we can escalate this?

Most of the march,april and may applicants got stuck with same situation no moment once they started waiting for biometrics and after submission too no change..my frnd experienced same once there is some information missing the file will be left on hold and takes a while pre covid that wait time my frnd experienced was 2months.and now due to covid which they are taking as excuse looks like never ending waiting time.. not our fault for submission delay of biometrics they came up with stupid process and got delayed now the whole file was on HOLD..i assume we might see some moment may be by end of jan like ppl coming back from vacation and trying to clear the backlogs or may be im wrong it could be even worse..
